If you get the transit with the 3.5 EcoBoost, be prepared to spend a lot of money to fix coolant leaks due to a known design flaw. Also on my 5th set of strut mount bearings, and my 3rd APIM module that controls the NAV and various other electrical components

Love the van, but beware

I own a 2016 Transit 150. 7000 miles. Like a previous reviewer, I was driving down the road and lost all acceleration and motor was puttering. Had it towed to dealer. Tow truck driver told me he just towed a transit to same dealer two days previous with same symptoms. When I first talked to service dept guy, he said the previous Transit needed a throttle body, but he would call when he looked at mine. Sure enough, throttle body. Special order. Only a few days in my case, but I also have to eat the rental car costs. Clearly a systemic problem. Love the van, very comfortable, great utility, but this shouldn't be happening to a 5 month old vehicle.

We are a large dog rescue. We own three vans: a 2014 Nissan, a 2016 250XL Transit Hi top and a Chevy cargo van. We use these vans to get dogs from shelters and move them to safety so a reliable van is a big deal. We decided to spend big and buy what we thought would be a workhorse for us. $48K and what we bought was a lemon. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. We have replaced the transmission (cost nearly $5K and that was to rebuild it not replace it), the AC has gone out, the catalytic converters have gone out, we've replaced a million sensors. It never ends. The day we drove the car from the lot (we had ours built to spec) the back door handle broke off. That was an omen. It's out of warranty so Ford doesn't care, but a cargo van that is carefully maintained should not be in the condition it's in after 20 months of use. UPDATE 9-21-19 The van was taken out of service at 3 years old. Total waste of money. The 2014 Nissan? Still going and going and going.
