2017 Ford Transit owner complaints

When driving my transit 250 it vibrates a lot and I was told that the transmission is going out. After I researched I find that this is a common problem with this Ford vehicle. It cost about $4000 to fit and Ford is not helping customers with their vehicle. Why is there no recall on this problem?

Transit van experiences a resonating vibration in the driveshaft or u-joints just as described in existing recall for transit vans however, my van was not listed as affected - I contest and would consider it to be affected. Tries and brakes have been changed and nothing changed the vibrations noticed at 40-50 miles per hour. They seem to dissipate above 60 MPH. The vibrations or frequency seems to be reoccuring in short cycles and mostly audible throughout the interior of the van. This has been occuring since acquired the van an hasn't changed in 2 yrs.

The transmission will downshift when deceleration and will actually throw you forward in the seat due to dropping into a lower gear. Vehicle has also developed an oil leak where oil is dripping onto the manifold, possible engine fire hazard. Engine is losing coolant due to possible blown head gasket.

Transmisin jumps in low gears and when using cruise control it also jumps

Transmission will downshift on its own when vehicle is decelerating making engine RPMs over rev. Only way I have found to prevent this is to shift to neutral and then back to drive. I don't like doing this because it could accidently get shifted into reverse while driving at highway speeds! Valve cover leaks dripping oil onto the exhaust manifold causing the vehicle to smoke very badly and could possibly cause a fire.

While accelerating on to a highway my gas pedal broke leaving me in danger of a vehicle colliding into the rear of my vehicle. The pedal is made of plastic.

We currently have a vehicle fleet of 40+ vehicles. Within the last two months, we have had to replace FOUR evaporator coils assemblies. I believe this is an indication of a factory issue that was never caught.

My VIN number is not included in the backup camera recall. It says the recall includes the 2017 Transit. My back up camera stopped working about a year ago. Also when the camera stopped working my cruise control stopped working also. I believe this is a larger electrical issue.

Our fleet of Ford transits are all having similar issues. This is the 2nd time this particular vehicle has lost power while driving causing extremely dangerous safety concerns. We were instructed by Ford to replace the throttle body which was done in 2021 and now the same issue is occurring. Ford needs to remedy this issue long-term. This issue is affecting the trust from my employees to provide them safe transportation, inoperable vehicles are causing lost revenue and the rest of my fleet is now unreliable causing concern for more serious accidents. This is a major issue for people that have Ford Transit fleets.

Vehicle loses ability to control acceleration going into a "limp" mode while on the highway. This poses a serious safety risk to the driver, passenger and all other drivers on the road. The van has to "coast" to safety. This occurs with no warning and is very sporadic. The throttle body was replaced 7/1/2021 after 109,256 miles. This is a repeating issue with my fleet of Ford Transits ranging from 2015-2018, some vehicles having this part replaced more than once.

The sliding door does not stay closed. My 5 children are at risk when the door opens while driving. I took it recently to the dealer and they said they fixed the handle and that everything else was fine. That night it opened 3 times within 1 mile.

While on high speed the car could viberate and some times also not sitting in lane ac in passenger not good its the same system they use for for a mall car thinks keep braking like the picture attached and the clip for wndw isnt safe and strong I showed it for Ford its a now vehicle they are playing around with costemers

Passenger side sliding door frequently comes off the hinges and latch does not hold the door shut. This vehicle has had the latch replaced two times in 2 months. When the vehicle is in motion, the doors slides open.

Break calibers hanging up in rear causing pre mature break pad wear and rotor damage. Caused breaks to wear down faster and rotors to get replaced.

My brakes are very soft. They have been bled and still persist to be soft and will go all the way to the floor. I have found many people having this same problem online with no solution. There seems to be a problem with the ABS system or something. It makes it very hard to stop suddenly. All of my components are in working condition and well maintained.

The interior lights and navagation/radio system will not turn off. The door switch is faulty according to the dealership. The vehicle was assembled at the valencia final assembly plant. There are recalls for other Ford transit vehicles for failing door switches. I am concerned for simular failures with the door switch allowing the door to open and also a possible electrical fire caused by the malfunctioning navigation/radio and interior lighting system not turning off while the vehicle is stationary.

This is the second time our gas pedal has snapped and broke off when taking off/ accelerating. It has also seemed to develop some sort of stutter/bog/hesitation that seems to be linked with the communication from the gas pedal to the computer. Sometimes we will go ahead and pull on out into traffic and accelerate to get up to speed and the van will basically feel like it's stuttering/ hesitating and we give it further throttle with the gas peddle, then it will finally engage and seems to drop down several gears and slam/thrust forward. We have contacted our local Ford dealer mountain view Ford of chattanooga tn and they have yet to correct or repair this problem. Our van is still covered under factory warranty. We have had to source the replacement part from a junk yard both times in or

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 Ford transit. While the vehicle was idling, exhaust fumes were present inside the vehicle cabin. In addition, the rear floor was very hot to the touch. The vehicle was taken to velde Ford (2200 n. 8th st, pekin, il) where it was diagnosed that the failure was due to a shortened exhaust pipe; however, there was no remedy available from the manufacturer. The exhaust pipe was extended by an independent mechanic and the failure was remedied. The manufacturer was notified and no solution was offered. The failure mileage was 500.
