The right side passenger door opens when driving. The door will not stay latched even when locked. I close the door, pull on it to ensure it is latched, but when I start driving, the door slides open. This is my family vehicle used to transport our children, and is a very dangerous situation.

This is the second time this has occurred. The van lost sudden power causing me to almost be hit from behind a second time now. This is only 3 months after the initial occurrence. The Ford manufacturer is aware.

Regarding 2018 Ford Transit XLT 15 passenger with ecoboost engine. The factory installed air conditioning system does not have the capacity to cool down the van's cabin, in southern states like South Florida, where the ambient temperature reaches 85+ degrees Fahrenheit during a sunny day through most of the year, the vehicle's A/C system simply fails to properly cool down the cabin. Several cases have been opened with Ford Motor Company, and the service department at the Ford dealerships fail to even acknowledge the problem. They run their diagnostics tools, and all the components on the system are working as intended, except that it does not provides sufficient cold air to make the passengers safely and comfortably ride the van. Un fortunately, this is an issue that the owners don't discover until after they have purchased the vehicle and driven it for a while. Ford is not providing any solution whatsoever to the problem. And this issue may be affecting all owners of the same vehicle with similar trims and specs. Additional testing and certification of the issue by independent certified vehicle A/C technicians and engineers are being gathered. Further legal action may follow.

Battery kept draining-found out 2 batteries under the driver's seat and the fuel is put in at the driver's seat door. The door must stay opened during fueling. Also, the battery draining and numerous replacements found due to incorrect wiring again. This is a conversion van by Explorer, and we've already had antifreeze leakage which is still a problem with the smell. The vehicle is still at repair shop in millersville for another month. Mva investigator kevin chubb directed us to investigate this fuel system and battery system placement for inspection. He felt as we did that it is a health and safety hazard.
