A control module began malfunctioning by first causing the headlights to come on spontaneously. The vehicle was parked (at home), headlight switch off, no key in ignition. After removing the battery negative cable, any attempt to reconnect the battery causes the starter motor to spontaneously energize and the engine to start running, again with no key in the ignition. I am able to always reproduce this malfunction. I immediately disconnect the battery each time, as i consider this malfunction to be potentially hazardous, and i cannot predict what further malfunction might ensue. I acquired this vehicle used ~12 months ago, and it has run normally until now. Current mileage ~81,700. There have been no modifications to the electrical system.
The contact owns a 2015 ford transit. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken for routine maintenance check at world ford/kendall (15551 w dixie hwy, miami, fl 33162, (800) 739-1959). After retrieving the vehicle, the contact drove the vehicle to his residence. The following day during rainy weather, while attempting to start the vehicle, the engine failed to turn over. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that water entered the electrical compartment causing the fuse to fail. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred during a rainy day. The contact mentioned nhtsa campaign number: 18v275000 (electrical system) as a possible solution to the failure however, the vin was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vin was not under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 77,000. The vin was not included.
Cluster have massage fault filter is overloaded.i have change dpf filter and sensors 3 mines ago. And dpf sistem is working properly no any codes but cluster still have a massage
While i was driving, all the dashboard gauges quit working and the lights went off. I was driving at night so it was a little concerning since i couldn't see anything on my dashboard and the speedometer wasn't working. I was told the body control module is bad and after looking at forums, it seems this is an issue amongst many ford transit owners. It seems unsafe that that can happen while driving. I checked to see if there was a recall since it seems so many people have an issue and looks like there isn't.
Follow-up to prior problem report on this vin. After 24 hrs with battery disconnected, i reconnected battery. Prior problem did not reproduce and vehicle appeared to power-up normally. I used the key to successfully start and run the engine. But there were no instrument readings, tachometer read zero. I moved the key back to the off position, but the engine continued to run. The only way to kill the engine was to disconnect the battery cable. That means the defective module is not failing safe.

Sliding door alert keeps going off. Possible sensor or latch defect. Happens while driving over dips, bumps and while braking. Unable to read dash system panel while alert is on. Possible safety issue, as cannot see other alerts while this one is on, as it remains on the entire time i'm driving and is a distraction. Possible safety issue. Check engine light on fuel system sensor issues. After putting fuel in vehicle it has trouble restarting, causing me to fuel vehicle while started to remedy this. Possible fire hazard, could cause vehicle to catch fire resulting in explosion/death.
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.
2015 ford transit presents with no start condition lose of fuel and code p0230 on further diagnosis found engine compartment fuse box to have multiple fuse terminals loose from the board.

Vehicle was being driven on a two-lane road at 45 mph when suddenly the engine just stopped without being able to even pull to the side of the road. I traded cars with my wife so she could take our 6 kids home. Towed the vehicle to a ford dealership who diagnosed a faulty fuel pump control module. Said this happens a lot. Several other ford vehicles have been recalled for this reason but not the 2015 transit.
Was driving to new orleans when i was caught in a very heavy rain storm. The van started to drive rough a day later. Took it into a ford dealership for a driveshaft recall and oil change only to be told that water got into the housing for the air filter and soaked the filter. The water then made it's way throughout the engine. After, i then learned of ford issuing a tsb that would have saved my van should it of been a recall or checked by my local ford dealership when i had previous work completed.
Vehicle was being driven down the highway, driver heard a loud pop and saw pieces of metal it the roadway. Pulled over and observed parts of metal hanging down. Vehicle towed to service station. Drive shaft, transmission, emission lines, brake lines and numerous other undercarriage damage observed. This vehicle had a recall on 'separation of the driveshaft from the transmission' in june 2017. This vehicle was taken to ford dealership for recall.
I was at a red light when my car all of a sudden started to overheat, the vehicle only has 64k miles on it. Have kept up with maintenance and all of that. Turns out the water pump is bad and was leaking really bad. Not sure why this happened 3 year old ford van.
2015 ford transit cargo e250 cab filled with exhaust fumes while driving on interstate and became overwhelming.

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 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.
Follow-up to prior problem report on this vin. After 24 hrs with battery disconnected, i reconnected battery. Prior problem did not reproduce and vehicle appeared to power-up normally. I used the key to successfully start and run the engine. But there were no instrument readings, tachometer read zero. I moved the key back to the off position, but the engine continued to run. The only way to kill the engine was to disconnect the battery cable. That means the defective module is not failing safe.
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 fromthe 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
Engine would stall while driving and doesn't want to start this happened three times once while driving.third time it had to towed away . Looks like fuel not getting to the engine or problem with fuel system
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.

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.
Egr cooler leak changing second time in one year and also i have to change oil cooler. This jobs is very expensive.
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.
Dealer is telling me we have metal through the entire fuel system because the pump was failing and that we must have put bad gas in the van..they want to replace the fuel rail and tubes, pump,cooler ,injectors and drop and clean the fuel tank.pretty much word for word what the recall is on some other 2015 transit vans with the same motor

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-7neither ford nor i know the exact solution until we pull the transmission but it seems that this is pointing to the tc?

Our transit van has had a problem with severe vibration in the driveline since about 25,000 miles. Our van is subject to recall 17s15. We have had the "temporary fix," (the driveline flexible coupling replaced) on our van two times at york's ford in houlton, maine: july 21, 2017 (mileage 28,066) and again on october 11, 2017 (mileage 32,787) but it has not fixed the severe driveline vibration. The vibration is worst at highway speeds (65-73 mph), and when going up a hill or when accelerating. It is so loud that it shakes the whole van, making it impossible to hear the radio or have a conversation. The sound is a very low frequency hum, like putting your head inside a subwoofer. I worry that the vibration is also damaging other components, such as the output shaft bearings in the transmission, and possibly the engine. On november 7, 2017 i took the van to a ford dealer in indiana to see if they could fix the vibration problem. They determined that the carrier bearing holding the driveshaft was loose and needed to be replaced, but they were unable to get ford to okay the repair.i have stopped driving the van except for essential travel because of the vibration problem. From what i have gathered reading the ford transit usa forum, a permanent fix, including a new driveshaft, universal joint, and transmission output yoke, has been installed on many of the recalled vehicles, but for some reason ford will not do it on mine. Can you help?

Vehicle was being driven down the highway, driver heard a loud pop and saw pieces of metal it the roadway. Pulled over and observed parts of metal hanging down. Vehicle towed to service station. Drive shaft, transmission, emission lines, brake lines and numerous other undercarriage damage observed. This vehicle had a recall on 'separation of the driveshaft from the transmission' in june 2017. This vehicle was taken to ford dealership for recall.
Our driver was driving on the beltway when his brakes locked up on him.we dropped if off to the shop to have a look and found the right rear caliper was faulty.since we were unable to get the truck to the dealer ( the truck is stillunder warranty). We had the shop replace the faulty caliper. So we could get the truck back on the road.now i need to know why this is not a recall "brakes" are certainly a safety issue!and how do i go about trying to get reimbursed for the charges for this?

2015 ford transit.consumer writes in regards to transmission problems and requests vehicle buy-back information.*ldthe consumer stated the vehicle does not have 6 cylinders and requested that the data entry error be corrected with the mva.

I was getting the tires rotated and the auto tech said the rear brake pads were dangerously thin. The front pads were fine. I instructed the tech to replace the rear pads. The manager came in and said the right rear caliper was frozen and was leaking brake fluid. The van has 38,000 miles on it.
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 revealedthat 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.
2015 ford transit presents with no start condition lose of fuel and code p0230 on further diagnosis found engine compartment fuse box to have multiple fuse terminals loose from the board. To be clear these do not appear as fuses loose from the terminal they go in, this is the terminal seems loose from the circuit board. Either way the effect is the same, causing them to lose power intermittently including the fuel pump creating a no start and or die while driving condition potentially causing loss of steering. Have video documenting the condition as well as two pictures included showing voltage fluctuating..

Shuttling employees; repeatedly needed to get out and physically cause the rear latch on the sliding rear passenger door to catch. Would not regularly catch with normal closing of door.warning on dash would illuminate, but track was apparently misaligned.
Water leak between passenger door and passenger rear door (doble door)
Stationary vehicle; parked, driver outside vehicle walked around to front passenger door; passenger opened front passenger door, and a breeze no more gusty than 1 mph was all it took for the door to hyper extend beyond hinge mechanism, and door broke accessory door closing part, preventing it from tightly closing as it should. Door ajar alarm beeps, and the body is damaged near fender of front pass wheel. Extremely dangerous and poorly made part; if ford door can break easily, i. A breeze, they are unfit for the general public to drive them unless on certain days of specific weather or climate patterns are predictable. Dealership refused responsibility and told me to "take it to a body shop where they deal with body damage." ford was not interested in further communications. Auto shop estimates $1100 for a new door.

Front subframe and transmission cross member rotting out. Transmission failure at 130k milesthe transmission was making the van not accelerate then wouldn't move at all.it was in a dealer 3 times for this. The rusted and rotted out metal structures were found when repairing the transmission

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.
This vehicle, along with explorers and transit connects, has day running lights (drls) that are bright enough to act as headlights. In addition, the gauge cluster is always illuminated, which doesn't alert the driver to the fact that the taillights are off, decreasing nighttime visibility. The older gauge clusters were better.this is not a specific incident, but a design flaw.
The drive shaftthe recall has been in place for over a year.ford still has no fix i'm trying to sell the vehicle and it's not fair for ford not to have s fix
While im driving it shuts off while driving like the fuel stops going to engine.and sometimes it wont start while stationary.all eletric comes on but just turns over .again like no fuel going in.note i just bought it3 months ago.stalls about 6 times a week .almost got hit by trucks because of it

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-7neither ford nor i know the exact solution until we pull the transmission but it seems that this is pointing to the tc?
I purchased a 2015 ford transit 350 xlt 15 passenger van exactly two weeks ago.the van has 30,000 miles and came with oem continental 235/65 r16 vanco four season tires.last week i noticed a "chunk" of rubber missing from the driver side front tire (located on tread, outer lug).the chunk is around 1/2 to 3/4 inch in width and considerably deep.two days ago i noticed a very large chunk of tread missing on the passenger side rear tire.this particular area is 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 inch wide and so deep, i can see nylon cords.at this point, i notified continental as i have never seen tires in this condition with only 30,000 miles.the tires were manufactured in week 38, 2014.i have a large family and do not feel safe driving on these tires.continental will not honor the warranty as i'm not the original owner.i wanted to write to make folks aware of this issue, just in case there have been other reports for this specific tire line.
I am a nhtsa region 10 office employee. I rented a 2015 ford transit van, license plate #[xxx], from zipcar on 7/25/17 for the entire day for a work related event. A fellow nhtsa staff person ran a vin check on the vehicle by phone and determined there was an open recall on the van. Unfortunately, i did not write down the vin# of the specific vehicle but was provided assistance from nhtsa staff to identify the # as [xxx] (see the attached document provide to me by nhtsa staff person, [xxx]). I then contacted zipcar and put in a request for assistance, spending time on the phone with customer service agents, first a person apparently based in mexico, then another based in boston. The last person would not provide me the name or contact information for any "local fleet team" manager that would likely be responsible for repair/maintenance on the vehicle in seattle. I did speak with [xxx] (batch #[xxx]; he would not provide me his last name, but gave me his batch #...an employee id#). I have not been contacted by any other zipcar representatives since.i am concerned that on the date i rented the vehicle there were open, unmitigated recalls of which i was not made aware by zipcar.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Failure and stall occurred 8-9-21. Throttle body internal fault.a ford dealer in aurora, colorado diagnosed, has the vehicle, and the defective part. I don't know if they will hold on to it for inspection.my vehicle stalled while driving on a busy road and lost power.the warning message said something to the effect of "terminal engine failure, requires service"i was lucky enough to get my vehicle to the side of the road in heavy traffic, but it was stalled in a precarious spot and the vehicle did in fact get hit while i waited for the tow truck.i was worried for my safety, so i was waiting off of the road about 15 feet from my vehicle rather than in it.this is a potentially life-threatening issue.had i been on a highway in heavy traffic, this could have caused a major accident.this appears to be a common issue, so i am not sure why it has no recall at this time.in my opinion, it needs one for the safety of the vehicle owners and those around them in traffic.
This van had a drive shaft recall before we get the service it broke and caused lots of damages include transmission. It took more than 3 months during that time we paid the rent car and ford said it will reimburse it but when we claim it, ford refused pay for it and later did not respond our email or phone call.
While driving my 2015 ford transit 250 3.5 on the interstate the van lost power and nearly got my killed while trying to navigate off the road without power. The throttle body code was thrown on the cpu, and i was told by the mechanic that these need to be replaced way more than normal with these fords. It's a hazard to shut the vehicle down without warning! and the replacement part is still faulty. The throttle bodies need to be recalled.

The right side mirror design on this van is the worst i have ever encountered. The upper part of the mirror magnifies your view while the lower reduces it. It takes great concentration to make a safe lane change when moving to the right. The poor design of this mirror is going to cause accidents. The design needs to be investigated and a directive to ford should be issued to recall and fix the mirrors.this van is owned by enterprise rental cars. We use it as our van pool vehicle.
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.
