The contact and the passenger had to push the vehicle to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to blake utter Ford (located at 215 hwy 75 North, denison, tx 75020, 903-465-5671) where it was diagnosed that the PCM needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired.

The contact was able to exit the roadway. When the vehicle was turned off and restarted, it resumed normal operation. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Barbee's freeway Ford (4471 East evans avenue, denver, co, (303) 584-6600) was called, but was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure.

The vehicle randomly developed hesitation to start one day as if it wasn't getting enough fuel or air. It did start and I drove home from work. I planned to take it to a dealership to get it checked out but the next day but the vehicle would not start. I attempted to jump-start but the battery was at full voltage. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership and they diagnosed the car. I was informed the next day by the technician that there was a tsb about this issue and that Ford Motor Company was well aware of the problem and that it would cost me $850 plus tax. Apparently the cabin air filter is not properly weather sealed and under normal use water will make its way into the filter, and into the mass air sensor. Ford has made new replacement parts for this issue but because I am out of warranty by a few months, I will have to pay for the entirety of the bill. Had the part given out while driving (especially at high speeds) the engine would seize and could have likely caused a crash.

Vehicle was being driven on a two-lane road at 45 mph when suddenly the engine just stopped without being able to even pull to the side of the road. I traded cars with my wife so she could take our 6 kids home. Towed the vehicle to a Ford dealership who diagnosed a faulty fuel pump control module. Said this happens a lot. Several other Ford vehicles have been recalled for this reason but not the 2015 Transit.

Transit 6-cyl

  • 3,250 miles
We purchased 14 Ford Transit vans from the U.S. four of the 14 are not in driving condition now due to a problem losing speed [more details for each vehicle are needed]. the fault in all of them shows code P2111. The vins are: [xxx] broken in Jan/Feb 2017 with less than 4500km; [xxx] broken in March 2017 with less than 5200km ; [xxx] broken in August 2017 with less than 3000km ; [xxx] broken in November 2017 with less than 4600km. At this rate, we expect that our entire fleet of large vans which are Ford Transits to be inoperable. We have received the service from one of local Transit dealers [xxx], but it seemed the problem is not included in "recall notice" from Ford. We would greatly appreciate all assistance in repairing or replacing these vehicles as soon as possible. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
