Vehicle has an open recall for flexible coupling from the transmission to the drive shaft. This broke and damaged the fuel line, broke the brake lines and damage some other components. Took it to the Webb Ford in Highland IN and they informed me they will cover just the flexible connector and not the other damage caused by the failure, stating they send a lot of recall notices to the previous owner. Cost for the repairs are aprox $3,100. Since the failed coupling caused the damage, why i am asked to pay for the repairs caused by the recall component. I am a new owner of the vehicle and never received any notices from Ford. Thank you

This claim is to report that when I received the letter from Ford with the recall, I tried to book an appointment for said recall, which is impossible because they are giving them for 6 to 8 months. After trying several days, I got one in palmeto Ford, unfortunately the car failed exactly as the recall said and the transmission broke, affecting the brakes as well, which almost caused an accident in turpike, after this I left it at Ford transit at (16800 nw 57 Av, 33015) where to date they do not give me reason, I have gone 5 times and they have not received an answer, the vehicle is a work vehicle and it is the livelihood of my family, please, if in any way it can be managed, it can be fixed as soon as possible, thanks

Both rear axle tone rings cracked causing inoperable ABS, stability control, traction control, hill start assist, and front camera/lane departure warning system. One incident happened while driving on the freeway at 75 MPH and all above warning lamps illuminated. The right rear hub assembly/axle needed to be removed and the tone ring replaced by the dealer at 73,000 miles, and the left at 95,000 miles. It appears to be a common problem and the repair process is fairly extensive and expensive which may discourage repair and cause large vans (possibly even 15 passenger models) to be driven without working stability control, ABS, and other important safety systems.

We repaired brakes on this vehicle that is owned by one of our customers business. When you replace rear brake rotors on these vans the caliper bracket mounting bolts and the bolts that hold the rotors to the axle and the differential must be replaced. They are torque to yield bolts and only one use is permitted. We have several vehicle in fleets that we work on that have these same vans. We had always used the Ford replacement bolts and had no issues. NAPA started stocking a Dorman supplied bolts for the rotors to be attached. The part number for the NAPA parts are 92601271. The bolts sheared off on the right rear and allowed the right rear tire and wheel to come out of the rear axle housing. The repair was done on 3-24-21 at 66644 miles and the failure occurred 10-7-21 at 76263. The Ford number for these bolts is W716084-S439. The head markings for the Ford ones are SPF 10.9 and the Dorman ones are 322 10.9.

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 revealed that 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.

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 still under 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?
