Another ford lemon

By Disappointed written on 11-28-2016

Thought this would be real nice after all the issues with a transit connect, well it looks nice and has the space needed for a work truck, however it has had weird electrical issues that come and go, Bluetooth randomly won't connect to my phone. Once it had to be reset "by the dealer" at 38,000 miles. Now just over 40k, throttle body needed. Once again ford has convinced a small business their vehicles are worth owning...wrong. Ford has and always will be the WORST most unreliable domestic vehicle brand available...more crap in a new wrapper. Pay more for anything else and don't risk your life everyday driving (or trying to) this junk. UPDATE 6/1/17 so the throttle body failure was a common issue, parts back ordered. Got replacement, told by dealer it's all fixed, still stalls while driving, back to the lemon grove. 4 throttle bodies and 45 days later it runs correctly again. UNREAL that a company would put a consumer through this. I threatened them that it should be replaced under lemon law. So now at 56k miles, only major issue is Bluetooth forgets my phone once every couple weeks, reconnects usually. About every 6 weeks it doesnt, I reset the system by disconnect battery for 3 minutes. Then add phone back and reconnect.. spend your money elsewhere.

Ford Transit

By Steve D written on 02-02-2017

Gas mileage is 12 combined city and highway, not loaded. Van is horrible in slush or light snow. Been driving vans for 30 years, terrible gas mileage and terrible in slush and snow

Love the van, but beware

By John G written on 06-01-2016

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.

Rear diff bad

By Look elsewhere written on 03-17-2017

Blown out differential, 22,000. Drive shaft coupling clacked at 33,000. Brake pads wear fast. Water in air filter when it rains due to poor design. Still no real fix for this. Will cost you money in down time.

350 transit passenger xlt 148

By tom written on 01-25-2016

certainly lots of space, plenty of cubbies in front cab area. rear view camera is tiny and not worth the upgrade. rear sliding passenger door is extremely difficult to close, weak latching, very difficult to open. it may be due to its size, but a strong person will still have a hard time. get a base model and add a radio, rear camera, speakers. when turned up heating and cooling for the rear is loud, unable to raise radio loud enough to hear over it. there are no options for snow or studded snow tires. I would avoid this vehicle in any place with snow due to this significantly poorly designed suspension to support the small 235/65 r16 118 load capacity tires in a 9500 gvwr vehicle. there have been 3 recalls , i know its more than 13,000 miles, but I've been in the shop for more than 23 hours!
