The Ford Transit 250 is generally regarded as a reliable vehicle, but there have been ongoing issues related to its transmissions, particularly in the 2014-2016 models and beyond. Drivers have experienced sudden transmission failures without warning signs. Unfortunately, there is no foolproof way to prevent this, but performing regular preventative maintenance can potentially reduce the risk. Many drivers were caught off guard by their transmission failure, as the Transit 250 is designed to handle heavy loads, which can lead to transmission overheating. To avoid problems, it is advisable to check the transmission fluid regularly (approximately every 5,000 miles) and replace it every 30,000 to 40,000 miles.

    I drive a 2016 Transit 250 with around 30,000 miles, and it's in need of a new transmission. It's frustrating because it seems like a widespread issue with this model. Have you heard of Ford providing any help or insight other than quoting $6500 for a replacement transmission?
