Driving this van is very difficult, it will not hold a straight line ,when you pass big trucks going approximately 65 mph ,the vacuum sucks it up,and it gets more uncontrollable,causinga minor fish tale.of course ford checked it out and found nothing wrong .m---ks could not duplicate the problem..do not drive this van if is at all windy,could become uncontrollable and unsafe . The wandering in the steering is not acceptable .i would not recommend this van for anyone. Or any business.
My 11 year old daughter was attempting to close the tailgate and didn't see there was something lodged in the crevice. The tailgate popped off and fell on her knee. She is in excruciating pain. We are at the er. This is not safe. There has to be a better safer way to attach the gate. I have owned 3f150s and have never had this issue. Thank god my 6 year old was out of the vecinity. This could have easily injured or killed him as well.
Vehicle tracks down road sideways by 6 inches.this will cause premature tire wear and steering problems.local dealership said there was not a problem with the vehicle and ford customer care has not returned calls since initial contact.

This problem has occurred 12-15 times.after the engine is turned on and put into drive, it starts to buck/hesitate like it is not getting gas.sometimes this is violent and other times soft.it is not bad gas.sometimes it will go for 6-7 weeks without doing it and other times it will happen two days in a row.dealer will not attempt to fix it because after keeping it over night they could not duplicate the problem and would not take my word for it.if they order a part and it does not fix the problem ford will not re-imburse dealer so i am suppose to risk my life pulling out into traffic with a truck that might not make it. Truck has 4500 miles . Bought new at end of october 2012. There is no read out on the computer when this happens. Love the truck but not this safety issue.
