2017 FORD TRANSIT Complaints

REAR AXLE AND WHEEN CAME OFF THE VAN. THE FIVE BOLTS ALL SHEARED OFF AT THE SAME LOCATION. THEY WERE NOT LOSE AND THAT ALL BROKE EVENLY. THE AXLE THEN CAME OFF WITH THE WHEEN AND TIRE ATTACHED AND THE VAN CONTUNED TO MOVE OVER TO THE SHOLDER. THE VAN WAS MOVING AT 35 MPH AND WAS ON A HIGHWAY ON RAMP. NO SKID MARKS ON SCENE AND ALSO NO INJURYS

THE RIGHT TAIL LIGHT SEAL ISN'T WORKING, ALLOWING MOISTER IN THE LIGHT. THIS IS CORRUPTING THE WHOLE SYSTEM. THE RADIO, AC, RUNNING BOARDS, FIELD MONITORING SENSORS, AIRBAG SYSTEM, ALL TURN OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 38,000 MILES ON IT. THERE A MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON YOUTUBE AND OTHER FORD WEBSITES ABOUT THIS ISSUE.THE HOUSING FOR THE TAILLIGHT IS TERRIBLE AND NOT SEALED FOR THE LONG HAUL. THE DEALERSHIP HAS EVEN HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS MULTIPLE TIMES. THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NO CRACKS OR CHIPS THAT WOULD BE CAUSING THIS, JUST IMPROPER SEALING FROM THE FACTORY. IT IS SCARY TO THINK THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM FAILS FROM THIS FAULTY TAIL LIGHT.

THIS WAS A RENTED VEHICLE FROM ENTERPRISE RENTAL IN HILLSBORO, OR ON 10/12/2018. I WAS GETTING OUT OF THE VAN AND MY ANKLE HIT THE METAL BELOW THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT AT THE FRONT PORTION OF THE GLIDE MECHANISM(THAT MOVES THE SEAT BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS). THE METAL CUT MY RIGHT INSIDE ANKLE BONE,A CUT ABOUT AND INCH AND QUARTER LONG. IT BLED TERRIBLY AND WAS VERY SWOLLEN OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THE INJURY GOT INFECTED AND REQUIRED A TRIPS TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM TO MAKE IT BETTER. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I TOLD ANOTHER LEGAL DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE, AND EVEN AFTER TELLING HIM, HE HIT HIS ANKLE ON THE SAME PIECE OF METAL, BUT HE ONLY HAD A LITTLE SCRATCH. HIS COMMENT TO ME WAS," I EVEN HIT MY ANKLE AFTER YOU SHARED WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR ANKLE. I FEEL THIS SHARP METAL PIECE SHOULD BE CHECKED OUT TO SEE IF IT IS THAT SAME IN ALL THE TRANSIT VANS. THE RENTAL AGREEMENT NUMBER WITH ENTERPRISE WAS 3RQ72T, I WAS ALSO GIVEN A NUMBER OF 313320. MEDICAL RECORDS CAN PROVIDED UPON REQUEST ## VIN PASSED ## 2017 TRANSIT VAN ##
