Van experiences loud harmonic vibration that occurs from about 40-55 mph. The vibrations remained after all tires and wheels have been replaced and balanced. This "loud cycling hum" can be heard over radio and talking. Faster speeds it does subside above 60mph which encourages speeding to not have the noise throughout the interior of the van. This is an on going issue that has been noticed since purchase in Dec of 2018.

My vehicle is suffering from driveline vibrations, which should be recalled under Ford Safety Recall 19S38. My vehicle build manufacture date and build location fall within the recall window, but for some reason my VIN is not found in the database for this repair to be covered or authorized. To be clear, I am experiencing driveline vibrations at various speeds, which are high frequency, and cause a vehicle pulsing shudder that is relatively violent and loud, causing items in the vehicle to rattle. This recall is a safety concern as Ford describes in their own words: https://ford.oemdtc.com/4634/safety-recall-19s38-driveshaft-flexible-coupling-2015-2017-ford-transit "If the coupling fails, the vehicle will not be able to move under its own power and the disconnected driveshaft may impact and damage the brake and fuel lines. Additionally, the separated driveshaft may allow the vehicle to roll if the vehicle is exited when the transmission is in ‘Park’ but the parking brake is not applied. These scenarios may increase the risk of a crash or injury." There are no warning lamps to identify there is an issue. The vehicle is available for inspection. Ford is requesting a diagnostic fee to address the issue that should be covered under recall as my vehicle's build date and location fall well within the recall window.

HIS COMMENT TO ME WAS," I EVEN HIT MY ANKLE AFTER YOU SHARED WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR ANKLE. I FEEL THIS SHARP METAL PIECE SHOULD BE CHECKED OUT TO SEE IF IT IS THAT SAME IN ALL THE TRANSIT VANS. THE RENTAL AGREEMENT NUMBER WITH ENTERPRISE WAS 3RQ72T, I WAS ALSO GIVEN A NUMBER OF 313320. MEDICAL RECORDS CAN PROVIDED UPON REQUEST ## VIN PASSED ## 2017 TRANSIT VAN ##
