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.
