Equipment adaptive/mobility
- What is wrong
- Mobility Specialists, Inc. (Mobility Specialists) is recalling certain 2014-2017 Ford E-150 and Transit vans modified to be equipped with Ricon S-Series and K-Series wheel chair lifts. The wheelchair lift positioning input cam may fail while the lift is in use, allowing the platform to travel higher than the vehicle's floor height.
- Risk
- If the wheelchair lift platform stops above the vehicle floor, the wheelchair user can tip inwards toward the vehicle when exiting the lift, increasing their risk of injury.
- Remedy
- Mobility Specialists, working with Ricon, has notified the owners. Ricon will provide instructions and materials for replacing defective parts. Owners may contact Ricon customer service at 1‑800‑322‑2884.

On or about oct.26 my husband was driving to our pharmacy to pick up meds. He was driving alone. Thankfully our grandchildren were not with him. He told me the back window just exploded he told me at first he thought it was a gun shot. He pulled over and there was glass everywhere. Ford has known about this problem for quite sometime.
Had to replace brake pads twice in 20,000 miles. Replaced rotors due to warping. Dealer was no help resolving issue. My new brake pads on the passenger side has worn to the metal in 4 months.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford e-150. While driving approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle decelerated on its own. The failure recurred during the 1,100 mile road trip. The vehicle had just been repaired according to the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v614000 (forward collision avoidance). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the vehicle needed to be reprogrammed. The failure mileage was 4,000.
As reported to dealer : customer states when accelerating in low gear and letting off the accelerator it will continue to maintain the RPM until you hit hard on the brakes. My added comments is that 1800 RPM when normal highway speed is over 60 MPH. In stop and go traffic the driver must maintain brake with left foot and gas with right foot or you will rear end the car in front of you. Ps dealer performed test and stated at this time compared to like units and they do the same thing. I test drove a new truck with same engine and trans. As mine and it did not do the same thing.
