Ive been a plumbing contractor for 12 years, the greatest mistake i made in 2015 was to buy a ford transit high roof . I istalled expensive custom ranger shelves for 6,500. On the road for two months with 3,237 miles the transmission crushed, was in the dealership for over two months, couldn't fix the dam truck. I requested for a buy back which lasted for over four months , finally ford could not even refunt me for the custom shelves even the alar and tint. I want to help someone who might be in a position ti but tjis truck PLEASE DONT !!! I dont want anyone to be in the same predicament as i was ..... SPR. Inc

In February, 2016, we took our Transit 250 to our local Ford dealership's service center after the "check engine" light had come on. They determined the EGR sensor was bad and replaced it. Four months later, on 6/26/16, while driving 65mph on the freeway, the "check engine" light came on and the vehicle suddenly registered as overheating. Because we had another Ford diesel truck (E450) overheat while driving on the freeway years before, which caught fire and burned almost to an unrecognizable state, my husband wasted no time reacting to the warning signs. In order to get to the side of the freeway, he had to get through seven lanes of fast-moving vehicles, during which time, the engine shut itself off, basically stranding him as one more lane had to be maneuvered through at a much lower speed. Thankfully, no serious injuries or deaths occurred from the accident waiting to happen, which did and involved only one other vehicle. Ford Motor Company's General Council advised me that they would not respond to my complaint/request for financial compensation for the myriad of expenses this experience has (and continues) to create, because our insurance company is the one I should be going through. Obviously, automobile insurance covers property & medical damages (less deductible and within the policy limits) but not the other costs incurred from this incident, including a necessary overnight hotel stay because the accident happened while out of town, not to mention the raise in our insurance costs, not only for our business policy which covered the accident, but because this accident is now on my husband's record (and is considered his fault), it also will affect our personal automobile insurance rates. I am FURIOUS with Ford, especially since we have been loyal Ford-only (new vehicle only) consumers for the past 30 years. 2/4/19 update: the experience of the failed EGR in 2016 repeated again (after being “corrected”) in 2018, again while driving on the freeway. This time, no accident occurred when the engine turned itself off at 65 mph. The van was towed to our service center at the dealership where we bought it. The EGR was again replaced at our considerable cost since the last one was no longer under warranty. We felt like hostages to this expensive vehicle which we still owed over $20,000 on and knew without a doubt it was a potential death trap, not only to us, but to whoever might be involved in our next engine failure caused accident. I finally wrote a letter to the dealership owner after getting a sales email from him touting their “customer satisfaction guarantee.” I shared our experiences with this van and the complete lack of our satisfaction. He made it right, providing 3/4 of the remaining loan balance, based on book value, and assisted in the purchase of a 2019 T350 to replace the death trap we had. So, thank you Ken Grody Ford. This new van (gas this time - diesel on former) has felt much safer, but whether it has that dumbass EGR still, I have no idea. Hope not... (Miles stated was from original post date in 2016; when we traded it in, was around 150,000 miles.) 8/5/19 update: our 2019 T350 has been great. An expensive experience overall, but we need a tall van like this for work, and are happy with this gas version!

I have a Ford Transit Extended High Roof 2015 Eco Boost, it's been back and forth in the shop since March 2015. I've been having problems with the Deferential, Steering Wheel, Transmission, and the Drive Shaft. And I only use this Vehicle for Highway Driving. I was on the Highway going 70 miles per hour and the Drive Shaft came out in which caused the Brakes Lines to break and the Transmission to be shattered into pieces. And now the Vehicle is out of Warranty. And now this Vehicle is gonna cost over 15, 000.00 to get fixed. Before the problem became this worse I have been calling Ford and bringing it back and forth for the same problems. And Ford will just tell me to bring it back when the problem becomes worse than what it was. Now it's nothing that I can do. I was wondering if any body else is having similar issues. I also bought this Vehicle back in February 2015 brand new. And I have 205,000 miles on it now.

Transit has problems

2015 Ford Transit Van 150 Low Roof 3dr Cargo Van w/130" WB, Sliding Passenger Side Door (3.7L 6cyl 6A)

I have a fleet of 45 transit vans all types (low, mid, high, 150, & 250) I have had random problems with vans not starting at shop and in the field then all of a sudden they start again. Ford has looked at them, and cannot find anything wrong then send them back to me. There is a problem with leaves/pine needles getting in to vent at windshield cause van to not start or die while driving. You usually get and engine failure light because leave/pine needles dam water up and get into vents going down into computer cause it to short out. They said they fixed the problem with new plastic damning, but my vans have the damning and it still dose not help. I was told to keep it cleaned out, and not to park under trees. Most of the slider doors have dents in them because the door will not latch unless you shut hard and guys are always pushing on the back side of door to latch it. The metal has no support. Back doors, if right door get closed before left it will dent right door or if wind catches it. Other wise good van.

this van has multiple recalls, seats, controllers, seatbelts, driveshaft, leak fire at drivers wheelwell. ford doesn't have the parts. you cannot have 2 sets of tires ie mounted snows, as tpms cannot handle 2 sets of tires. brakes are difficult to change and only lasted 16k, this car is limited in tire size. there are few options for snow tires in size and 10 ply. you cannot stop wipers from wiping whenever they want to wipe. it has burnt thru a battery in 18 months. gas mileage on ecoboost has dropped to 11mpg after break in. it was expensive to buy, looks great, but you would be better off buying an old cube truck or a 40 year old bus to be a reliable vehicle.another 20k miles, another driveshaft this is number 3, airbags have thrown fault, another brake rotor and pad replacement, drivers window only rolls down in the rain, you have to wait for dry weather to roll it back up, i expect it has another 10k miles at least before engine replacment, currently at 40K. rust spots at rear door frame, side door and drivers door, front suspension replacement, now at 60k, rear door handle broke, side door does not open from outside, drivers door handle does not open door, drivers power window continue to be intermittant, radio only works on 1 speaker. if you have short trips its great and still starts. i am on my 3rd battery, so it must be doing something.
