The most frequent issue with the engine of the Ford Transit Euro 5 is its sudden and total loss of power, often occurring during stormy conditions, a major concern for drivers, especially considering the low mileage of the van. This problem mostly affects the 3.7 liter V6 engine and is labeled a "body throttle failure" by Ford. Although covered by warranty and fixable, experiencing such a serious issue with a new vehicle is definitely not ideal. On a positive note, these incidents are not expected to be common in the United States.
In 2019, issues with the Euro 5 engine in the Ford Transit include instances where spark plugs pop out and cracks develop in the gasket.
