ON OR ABOUT 4/8/2020 MY AMBULETTE WITH A PASSENGER COMPLETELY STALLED. IT WAS TOWED TO OUR NYS DOT SHOP IN WESTBURY THAT REGULATES AMBULETTES. THIS VEHICLE , A 2015 FORD TRANSIT 150 IS SUPPOSED TO CIRCULATE TRANSMISSION FLUID COMING FROM TRANSMISSION AND COOLANT FROM THE RADIATOR AT THE SAME TIME. COOLANT CIRCULATION IS SUPPOSED TO COOL TRANSMISSION FLUID WITHOUT BEING MIXED. WHEN THE SERVICE IS COMPROMISED AND MIXES TOGETHER, IT WILL CONTAMINATE BOTH FLUIDS-COOLANT IN THE TRANSMISSION.TRANSMISSION FLUID,COOLING SYSTEM(RADIATOR AND THERMOSTAT). COOLANT FROM THE RADIATOR WILL T TO WATER PUMP AND COOL OFF AND ENGINE -OVERHEATING PROCESS AND ENGINE CHANGE. THE EARLIER THE CONTAMINATION PROCESS IS STOPPED, THE HIGHER THE CHANCE THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE WILL UNDERGO FROM A COMPLETE SHUTDOWN

THE VEHICLE STALLED UPON BACKING OUT OF A STEEP DRIVEWAY & TURNING TO THE LEFT. IT WOULD NOT RESTART. THE VAN HAD BEEN PARKED, AT A CUSTOMERS' HOME ALL DAY. HEAVY SNOW BEGAN FALLING A COUPLE OF HOURS BEFORE THE VAN WAS STARTED & WARMED UP TO MELT THE SNOW FROM THE WINDSHIELD. WHEN THE VAN STALLED, IT WAS BROADSIDE TO THE STREET, BLOCKING BOTH OPPOSING LANES OF TRAVEL AS THE HEAVY SNOW INCREASED IN INTENSITY. THE VAN WAS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO PUSH OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, DUE TO THE QUICKLY ACCUMULATING SNOW, INITIALLY PREVENTING A PLOW & POLICE CRUISER FROM PASSING. AAA TOWING WAS CALLED BUT, DID NOT ARRIVE UNTIL 2 HOURS AFTER BEING SUMMONSED AS THE SNOW CONTINUED TO ACCUMMULATE. I HAD THE VAN TOWED TO OUR BUSINESS LOCATION AND DECIDED TO CHECK THE ENGINE AIR FILTER. WHEN I OPENED THE FILTER HOUSING, IT AND THE AIR FITER WERE WATER-SOAKED. I OBSERVED WATER RUNNING DOWN THE WINDSHIELD, DOWN ALONG THE FIREWALL AND ONTO/INTO THE AIR FILTER BOX. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER (FORD OF WILBRAHAM, MA, TEL.: 413-543-2800) TO REPORT MY FINDINGS & TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THE SOLUTION WAS PERFORMED AS PER TSB (TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN) #19-2091 AND AT A COST OF $488.45 (INVOICE #659506), WHICH I RELUCTANTLY PAID TO THE DEALER. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS A POOR DESIGN ALLOWING WATER TO RUN DIRECTLY INTO THE AIR FILTER BOX, WHICH, IN TURN, SHUTS DOWN THE ENGINE & RENDERS THE VEHICLE MOTIONLESS & CAN BE DANGEROUS, DEPENDING UPON WHERE & WHEN THE VEHICLES' ENGINE STALLS & THEN FAILS TO RESTART. THE SERVICE WRITER SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING SHE COULD DO TO HELP ME & THAT I AM STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THE TSB. IN ADDITION, MY INVOICE INDICATES THAT RECALL #19S38 WAS PERFORMED, YET IT IS STILL OUTSTANDING ON THE RECALL WEBSITE UNDER MY VEHICLES' VIN. FOR THE RECORD, THIS VAN HAD ONLY 31,853 MILES ON IT, WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN FOR THIS PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2015 FORD TRANSIT 15 PASSENGER VEHICLE THAT WAS PURCHASED IN NOV 2016 WITH 20,000 MILES. APRIL 2019 THE DRIVESHAFT FLEXIBLE COUPLING WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. IN JULY 2019 WE BEGAN HEARING A NOTICEABLE VIBRATION / SUBWOOFER DRONE / HUM IN THE VEHICLE.THE DRONE DOESN'T HAPPEN AT A SPECIFIC SPEED BUT IS PREVALENT WHEN WE'RE RUNNING 50-70 MPH AND BETWEEN 2000 AND 2500 RPM. THIS DRONE SOUND IS NOT CONSISTENT BUT NOW VIBRATES THE ENTIRE CABIN WHEN IT DOES APPEAR. I CAN STOP THE SOUND BY PULLING FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL. HOWEVER IT JUST RE-APPEARS AT A LATER TIME. WE HAVE NOTED THAT IT IS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING MORE FREQUENT AND LOUDER - EVEN VIBRATING THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD THE AUTONATION UNION CITY, GA DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER (TC) IS FAILING AND CAUSING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION -- IT WOULD BE A $3,000 REPAIR. I HAVE SINCE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS OTHERS WITH THE SAME VIBRATION AND FOR THE MOST PART - IT APPEARS THE TC WAS THE SOLUTION.. HOWEVER, NOT ALWAYS. PLEASE SEE THIS THREAD - HTTPS://WWW.FORDTRANSITUSAFORUM.COM/THREADS/DRIVESHAFT-DRONE-NOISE-SURVEY.60498/PAGE-7 NEITHER FORD NOR I KNOW THE EXACT SOLUTION UNTIL WE PULL THE TRANSMISSION BUT IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS POINTING TO THE TC?

IT APPEARS THAT THIS MODEL HAS AN ENGINE FAILURE ISSUE RELATED TO WATER ENTERING THE AIR BOX AND CAUSING THE WATER TO TRAVEL TO COMPONENTS THAT DISABLES THE CAR. I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN AND GOT STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND HEAVY RAIN ON I40 IN KNOXVILLE TN FOR AN HOUR WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK TO GET ME OUT OF A DANGEROUS SITUATION. HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALER THAT PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THE NEXT DAY THAT THERE WAS A TSB ON THIS ISSUE AND THAT THERE WAS A KIT THAT REMEDIES THE PROBLEM. A DEFLECTOR OF SOME SORT TO KEEP WATER OUT OF THE AIR BOX. THE COST TO THE CONSUMER IS OVER $750 TO GET IT DONE. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT IS FORD KNOWS ABOUT ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HAS COME UP WITH A SOLUTION, IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AND NOT JUST A TSB. THEIR POOR DESIGN AND NEGLIGENCE PUT ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ABOUT AN HOUR . I COULD HAVE BEEN RAMMED BY HIGHWAY TRAVELERS AND POSSIBLY KILLED BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS DISABLED BECAUSE OF A POOR DESIGN THAT FORD REFUSES TO REPAIR AT THEIR COST. SOMEONE PLEASE ADVISE FORD AND THEIR DEALERS THAT THIS IS NOT A CONVENIENCE ISSUE, BUT A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE THAT FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO REMEDY THE POOR DESIGN AT THEIR COST. THANK YOU.

THE UNDERCARRIAGE STARTED TO MAKE A BANG BANG NOISE. THE VAN WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL GARAGE. AT THAT TIME IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WAS UNDRIVABLE. THE VAN WAS TAKEN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP THAT HAS DONE THE PREVIOUS REPAIRS ON THE COUPLER. THEY STATED THAT THE PERMANENT FIX WAS PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED AND THAT NO UPDATED PART WAS AVAILABLE AND THE FORD WAS NOT GOING TO COVER THE REPAIR. THIS SITUATION IS VERY UNSAFE.

MY WIPERS WORK ONLY INTERMITTENTLY. THEY WILL WORK FOR A LITTTLE WHILE, THEN SUDDENLY STOP WORKING, AND START WORKING AGAIN LATER. IT HAPPENS IN ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS, IN WARM & COLD WEATHER, WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN THE VAN IS PARKED. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE SWITCH, WHICH THEY REPLACED, BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, AND THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS ON IT. THEY SAID THE CODE THEY GOT GAVE THEM A LIST OF THINGS THAT THEY CAN CHECK, BUT MANY OF THEM ARE VERY LABOR INTENSIVE TO DO AND THEREFORE VERY COSTLY (LIKE TAKING APART THE STEERING COLUMN TO CHECK SOME PINS TO SEE IF THEY ARE CORRODED). ONE OF THE THINGS THEY SAID THEY NEED TO CHECK TAKES ABOUT 5 HOURS TO DO, SO AT $100/HR (WHAT MY LOCAL FORD DEALER CHARGES), THE LABOR ALONE WOULD COST ME $500, AND THAT DOESN'T EVEN INCLUDE THE COST OF ANY REPAIRS. THIS IS A GENUINE SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED WITHOUT THE CUSTOMER PAYING HUNDREDS AND POSSIBLY EVEN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX THE PROBLEM.
