Unknown or Other · reported Nov 4, 2026
While driving a rented 2024 Ford Transit passenger van under load (accelerating uphill and exceeding 2,500–3,000 RPM) on a highway in heavy rain, the vehicle experienced a sudden, catastrophic powertrain failure. The engine began violently misfiring, causing the vehicle to shake aggressively, accompanied by a solid/flashing Check Engine Light and a sudden, severe loss of propulsion. This created an immediate, extreme highway traffic hazard for the 7 passengers inside, including infants, elderly parents, and an individual with special needs. When roadside assistance was contacted, the vehicle…
Electrical System · reported Aug 20, 2026
This is the second time this occurred. Please refer to 11757120. While travelling approximately 65 mph the vehicle had a complete shutdown including the engine and all electrical systems in the chassis. When a vehicle has a complete shutdown while driving it is inherently dangerous and life threatening. The problem has been confirmed by Westlies Truck Center in Minot ND again. To my knowledge the vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer or anyone other than the staff at the truck center. There were no warnings of any kind prior to this occurrence. We were on a busy 4 lane highway.
Electrical System · reported Aug 15, 2026
We were on our way to a campground. Approximately 40 miles from the campground the RV shut down. All chassis systems failed including the engine and electrical systems. It is available for inspection. Our safety as well as the first mechanic on the scene and tow truck driver because we were only partially off of the roadway. There were no hazard lights working. The problem was confirmed by Westlies Truck Center in Minot ND. The component(s) have not been inspected. There were no warnings or symptoms of any kind. I was told by the service manager that it could happen again.
Seat Belts · reported May 11, 2026
Attempting to purchase a Midwest Automotive Designs, Patriot RV on Ford Transit chassis. The rear seat belts installed by the RV manufacturer for rear passenger seating have been removed but dealership refuses to replace them. The dealer is offering this vehicle for sale without required safety equipment. I believe this is a violation of DOT law ?
Wheels · reported May 1, 2026
The rear axle snapped and rear tire separated and rolled behind vehicle on the expressway causing the potential for injury/fatalities to our driver and surrounding passenger vehicles by recall 24S05. At no point did we receive communication from Ford that the vehicle should not be operated. We scheduled the recall repairs for next week, 5/4/26 however this morning, 5/1/26 the rear axle snapped and the tire fell off of the vehicle.
