I have been waiting for the Transit Trail tire rub recall fix to be announced and Ford is taking FOREVER. Pretty much all of us are building out our vans and this really throws a wrench (no pun intended) into things. Ford is effectively neutering our special off-road vans by putting stock transit tires on them. It's extremely frustrating. But I would at least prefer to have them do what they are going to do then move on. Instead I am stuck, waiting. And waiting. And waiting. The recall was submitted on MARCH 22ND. It's been 3 and a half months.

Regarding safety recall - I do not feel this has been handled in a reasonable amount of time. Today is July 10th and no remedy has been determined. I have NOT taken possession of my van that was purchased on April 3, 2024. At the time I was unaware of the safety recall, until the day of training at the upfitters. To date, I have not received any notification from Ford on this recall. I have made 3 payments, have registered, paid insurance on a van that I have never driven off the lot. This is beyond frustrating because a tire rub with tires such as the ones sold in the TRAIL package are known for rubbing if modifications are not made. Ford has been negligent in testing the Trail package that we paid approximately 10K for.

Vehicle struggles and kicks to catch speed. At times in freeway/ street it will “jerk”/ hesitate to speed up. We have had to pull over in the middle of the freeway because it was not catching speed. No warning lights have turned on in the vehicle. It is dangerous to drive and vehicle looses speed or hesitates to pick up on speed, could cause an accident. Please help get vehicle fully checked, vehicle was made during Covid and chip shortage, I believe they rushed this vans out and did not make them properly. Other vehicles have had recalls for the problems I am experiencing with this vehicle, but mine has not been recalled. I strongly believe my vehicle is part of those recalls. Attached are the recalls made to similar vehicles, I believe mine should be included in this recalls.

A very strong gas smell was detected on the vehicle cabin. It lingers for a long time when it seems to be going away, it comes back strong again. This began July 2nd 2024. I have not taken my vehicle to get checked out because I cannot afford it, but i did ask around and everyone including some that know about cars said the car is too new and it is not normal, it is bad for our health since we are inhaling those nasty fumes everyday. This vehicle has never been hit or has had any type of damage to it in any way. It has been driven 85k miles and it is still in perfect condition. Honestly since I purchased this vehicle it has been nothing but problems. This is not the only issue this vehicle came with since day 1. I reached out to dealer at first but had no luck. Please help with this vehicle, I really believe this vehicle was not made correctly in so many ways.

FORD has failed to fix 2 recalls. Rear differential is howling and potentially low on fluid per recall--my FORD dealer cannot get to it until AUGUST. Local dealer is Chapel hills ford in Colorado Springs--that is were I purchased vehicle on [XXX] 2024. They have been NO help. Both front Tires rubbing the body at any slight turn--like into a driveway--with no load in the van. Tires and body both getting damaged. No resolution from FORD. Because of tires rubbing, it has now caused the wheel well liner to dislodge from the plastic fasteners and I am worried the liner will completely fall into the front wheel and steering linkage causing a wreck.
