THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS INVOLVED IN A RECALL WHICH FORD SAID THEY REPAIRED, NOW THE SAME PROBLEM IS BACK. THE DRIVE SHAFT MAKES A SERIOUS VIBRATION ESPECIALLY WHEN MOVING ALONG A FAIRLY LEVEL SURFACE WHERE THE ENGINE IS NOT DRIVING VERY STRONGLY. ESPECIALLY ON A HIGHWAY AT 35 TO 65 MPH. ALSO ESPECIALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COASTING ON A HIGHWAY, ESPECIALLY IN A GRADUAL TURN WHILE COASTING.

THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY DEVELOPED HESITATION TO START ONE DAY AS IF IT WASN'T GETTING ENOUGH FUEL OR AIR. IT DID START AND I DROVE HOME FROM WORK. I PLANNED TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO GET IT CHECKED OUT BUT THE NEXT DAY BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I ATTEMPTED TO JUMP-START BUT THE BATTERY WAS AT FULL VOLTAGE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE CAR. I WAS INFORMED THE NEXT DAY BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT THERE WAS A TSB ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY WAS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME $850 PLUS TAX. APPARENTLY THE CABIN AIR FILTER IS NOT PROPERLY WEATHER SEALED AND UNDER NORMAL USE WATER WILL MAKE ITS WAY INTO THE FILTER, AND INTO THE MASS AIR SENSOR. FORD HAS MADE NEW REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THIS ISSUE BUT BECAUSE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY BY A FEW MONTHS, I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE BILL. HAD THE PART GIVEN OUT WHILE DRIVING (ESPECIALLY AT HIGH SPEEDS) THE ENGINE WOULD SEIZE AND COULD HAVE LIKELY CAUSED A CRASH.

ALSO AS PART OF THE RECALL SERVICE, THEY ARE REMOVING THE HOOPS THAT CATCH THE DRIVE SHAFT WHEN THE COUPLER SEPARATES MAKING THIS AN UNSAFE SITUATION LIKELY TO CAUSE ACCIDENTS. I HAVE ATTACHED A PICTURE SHOWING CRACKS IN MY "PERMANENT FIX" DRIVE SHAFT COUPLER AS WELL AS COPIES OF MY COMMUNICATION WITH FORD AND THEIR REFUSAL TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. FORD SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN FOR KNOWINGLY PUTTING UNSAFE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. *TT *TR

WHILE AT FORD DEALER FOR CORRECTION OF A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE I REQUESTED THE DEALER TO CHECK VEHICLE OVER AND TO DETERMINE IF MY VEHICLE'S REAR BRAKE CALIPER ANCHOR PLATE OR BRACKEDS WERE INTALLED INCORRECTLY (AS THERE IS/WAS A TSB ISSUED FOR THIS MODEL AND MY VAN WAS INCLUDED. THE TSB # IS 15-0190. INSPECTION OF MY VEHICLE REVEALED THAT MY VEHICLE DOES IN FACT HAVE THIS ABNORMNAL ASSEMBLY (THE RIGHT SIDED BRACKET IS UPSIDE DOWN ON THE LEFT SIDE AND THE LEFT SIDED PLATE IS INSTALLED ON THE RIGHT. BECAUSE MY VEHICLE DOES NOT AT THIS TIME APPEAR TO BE EXHIBITING UNEVEN BRAKE WEAR AND IT HAS 41500 MILES FORD DOES NOT COVER OR REQUIRE A REPAIR AND I WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED TO HAVE A BRAKE JOB DONE AT ESTIMATED COST OF $825 DURING WHICH WOULD ALLOW THE ANCHOR PLATES TO BE CORRECTED. I FEEL THIS TSB SHOULD BE UPGRADED TO A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS MISASSEMBLY WHICH MAY AFFECT THE BRAKE PERFORMANCE OF MY VEHICLE IN THE FUTURE. I WAS TOLD I AM OUT OF WARRANTEE BY TIME AND MILEAGE AND BECAUSE MY VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN EXHIBITING UNEVEN BRAKE WEAR THAT FORD DID NOT HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO FIX IT AS IT INVOLVES A TSB RATHER THAN A RECALL. MY VEHICLE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST BUILT WITH ASSEMBLY DATE 4/2014. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE MADE A RECALL IF THAT IS WHAT IT WILL REQUIRE TO MAKE FORD CORRECT THIS. I SIMPLY WANT MY VEHICLE PUT TOGETHER THE WAY IT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN AND TO PREVENT BRAKE ISSUES FROM OCCURING.

ON AN ENTRANCE RAMP TO A HIGHWAY I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION FOLLOWED BY WHAT SOUNDED LIKE HEAVY RAIN. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND DISCOVERED THAT SMALL FLIP-OUT WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE CARGO DOOR HAD SHATTERED INTO A MILLION PIECES THAT WERE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE THAT THIS DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BY ANYTHING HITTING IT. FOR THIS REASON MY THEORY IS THAT THIS WAS CAUSED BY SOME INTERNAL STRESS CAUSED BY THE DESIGN OR MATERIAL. I WAS THANKFUL THAT THERE WERE NO PASSENGERS THAT MAY HAVE BEEN INJURED BY THE FLYING GLASS. ALTHOUGH I AM STILL COVERED UNDER MY NEW VEHICLE 3 YEAR / 36,000 MILE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY, FORD HAS REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT OR PAY TO REPLACE THIS WINDOW. ALTHOUGH IT IS JUST ABOUT 12"SQUARE, THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $970 TO REPLACE IT.
