Transit

  • 8,000 miles
Ford Transit is designed to allow the ignition key to be turned off while it's in any gear including while it's in drive on the highway. Turning this key while on the highway will cause the power steering to go out causing a dangerous situation for the driver. My van has turned itself off while I was driving on the highway at 60 miles an hour four times because my knee touched the key. To make matters worse, the steering column is adjustable but it adjust itself without activating the leever causing the steering column with the ignition key to constantly come closer to my knees. Two Ford dealership said that it's working as designed. The design needs to be changed because it's unsafe. Consumer stated design flaw with not having an interlock installed.
