What 5 owners told NHTSA about the 2026 Ford Transit Low Roof 15 Pass

On 04/14/2026, the second day after purchase.There was extreme vibration from the back of my vehicle at 40 -to- 45MPH and highway speeds 70-to-80MPH. after several service visits the vehicle still has vibration at 70 -to- 80MPH. At highway speeds there is so much vibration that window visors and seat arm rests are shaking. The Car Dealer ( ACE FORD of Woodbury ) did verify vibration during a "ride along" in person with a computer connected to the vehicle . After several attempts to balance tires. On 05/15 2026 we test drove other same "FORD Transit Vans 250" and found that all Vans were exhibiting same vibration . FORD determined that because all vehicles preform the same way that this was "deemed Characteristic"and no further action would be taken. At This point I brought the FORD TRANSIT to another Dealer ( WINNER FORD of Cherry Hill ) They preformed the same or similar diagnostics and found that ALL FOUR (4) tire rims were bent and indicated a replacement of the rims was required. I Then brought the TRANSIT back to ACE FORD where they did more testing and found that there was one (1) rim bent and replace tire and rim. After turning the vehicle back over to me I went on a test drive and found the same vibration problem at highway speeds form 72 - 80MPH . to date, I still have a VAN that I fell unsafe in at highway speeds.

The contact owns a 2026 Ford Transit. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle intermittently shuddered upon depression of the accelerator pedal, without warning. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer on numerous occasions; however, the dealer had failed to duplicate or diagnose the failure. On the third visit to the dealer, the contact was advised to test-drive two or three of the same model vehicles. The vehicles were test-driven. During the test-drive, both the contact and the mechanic experienced the same failure, but the dealer was unable to diagnose the failure. The dealer had notified the manufacturer of the failure; however, neither the dealer nor the manufacturer offered further assistance. The vehicle was then taken to another dealer, Winner Ford of Cherry Hill (250 Haddonfield-Berlin Rd, Cherry Hill Township, NJ 08034), where it was discovered that all four rims were bent. The dealer emphasized that the damage on the rear passenger-side rim was severe and a replacement was needed. The vehicle was taken back to the original dealer, who confirmed the damage and agreed to replace both the rim and the tire. The parts were replaced; however, the contact stated that during a post-repair test-drive, the failure returned at 75 MPH and faded away at 60 MPH. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 49.
