1 MODERATE
Everything the protocol found, including what we decided not to repair. Each finding says what it is and what we did about it — nothing here is hidden behind “sold as seen”.
| Severity | Finding | Action taken |
|---|---|---|
| MODERATE | Rear door lower edges corroded | Treated, disclosed |
| MINOR | Shelving holes in cargo walls | Left as is |
| MINOR | Front struts at 60% life | Quoted |

Model watch list
What this generation is known for.
Every model has faults that show up again and again in the workshop and in the manufacturer’s own bulletins. These are the ones documented for this exact year, engine and transmission — listed whether or not this particular car shows them.
- Driveshaft flexible coupling can fail and separate — NHTSA recalls 17V-408 and 19V-767 (2015–2017 Transit)
- Trailer tow module can corrode from water intrusion — NHTSA recalls 17V-668 and 18V-275
- Powertrain is the largest complaint category for the 2017 Transit: 23 of 98 NHTSA complaints, including highway downshifts and converter failures
Notes on the data
- EPA does not rate vans above 8,500 lb GVWR, so there is no official city/highway figure for this vehicle — the field is empty rather than estimated.
- 0–60 mph is not published for the cargo van; the figure shown elsewhere on this page is our own road-test measurement.
