Problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in brake lines, calipers, or master cylinders, leading to reduced braking efficiency.

Engine misfire

V-shaped, 6-cylinder engines like the Ford Ecoboost may experience misfires due to faulty spark plugs or ignition coils.

Turbocharger issues

Ecoboost engines are turbocharged, which can lead to problems such as turbo lag, oil leaks, or turbo failure.

Carbon buildup

Direct injection engines, such as the Ecoboost, can suffer from carbon deposits on the intake valves, affecting performance and fuel efficiency.

Coolant leaks

The 2017 Ford Transit may experience coolant leaks from hoses or the radiator, leading to overheating issues.

Timing chain problems

Ford V6 engines can experience timing chain stretch or failure, leading to engine noise or misalignment.

Electrical issues
