The car has the same problem it had before the recall. The dealer who supposedly fixed it says it's no longer under the recall warranty.

Summary of Complaint: The brake lines on my vehicle failed at highway speed (75 mph on I-65) while my wife and eight children were inside. This sudden failure created an extremely dangerous, life-threatening situation. Fortunately, we were able to avoid a crash, but this could easily have caused multiple fatalities. Details: We purchased this vehicle used at approximately 60,000 miles. I was never notified by Ford, the dealership, or NHTSA/DMV of any requirement for interim recall repairs every 40,000 miles. During a service at Antioch Ford, I was told there was an open recall but that parts were unavailable. I was never contacted again by Ford or the dealership with instructions to remedy the defect. Ford has since confirmed in writing that the recall requires interim repairs every 40,000 miles but claims they will not assist financially since my vehicle has not had those interim repairs. As a second owner, I had no knowledge of this requirement because I never received recall letters or notices. Safety Concern: This is a serious safety defect that nearly caused catastrophic injury or death to my family. The manufacturer has acknowledged the recall but is refusing assistance, citing “policy,” even though I was never notified of the required interim repairs. Ford has also attempted to close my case as “inactive” without resolution. Requested Action: I am requesting that NHTSA investigate Ford’s handling of this recall, specifically: Whether Ford properly notified subsequent owners about interim recall repair requirements. Whether Ford should be compelled to remedy this defect at no cost, given the severity and risk to public safety.

My ford van has vibrations between 20-40 miles. Many other ford transits has recalls for this. The issues is with the drive shaft and the drive shaft yoke.

On 17 November, 2023, at approximately 12 PM, I was traveling down the highway at approximately 55 mph. I suddenly heard a loud pop coming from directly under the cab and a subsequent rattling. It lasted for about 15 seconds, went away, and then lasted for another five seconds before completely stopping. Upon parking the vehicle, I crawled underneath and noticed that the flex coupling between the transmission and drive axle was missing two big chunks, and it appeared that a part of that material was lodged into the fire wall above the transmission underneath the floorboard. Also, present was a lot of strands of fiberglass from the coupling material. I immediately searched the Internet for some information regarding this and came upon an active recall that was published in 2019 for certain Ford transits manufactured 2015 to 2017. My vehicle is a 2016 Ford transit 250. It is my belief that this coupling issue that Ford published for recalls was not caught on my vehicle, and I have a concern that my vehicle may have fallen under that safety recall. Would like to know if an inspection could be done and some research to determine if my vehicle, in fact, falls within that recall.

THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THESE FAILURES ON FORD VEHICLE FORUMS AS WELL AS THE FAILURE THAT I HAVE PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED. AFTER READING OF THE NUMEROUS FAILURES, I INSPECTED THE FLEX COUPLING ON MY VEHICLE AT 30,000 MILES AND FOUND THAT THE FLEX COUPLING HAD VISIBLE CRACKS. A FAILURE OF A DRIVE LINE COMPONENT, WHICH COULD CAUSE GREAT BODILY HARM, AT 30,000 MILES, IS UNACCEPTABLE IN A MODERN VEHICLE.
