Example complaints

Back-over prevention (rear camera): “2021 Ford Bronco® and 2022—2023 Ford Transit® Van — 360-Degree and Rearview Camera Recall (23S48). I have taken my Van in 4 times to fix this issue, and it is still not fixed but it is marked as fixed on your website. Randomly the back up cameras on all sides will stop working and go blue or green with no image.”

NHTSA complaint #11643800, filed 2025-02

Electrical system: “I’ve been dealing with some intermittent problems with my 2022 transit for a couple years now. Basically I’ll be driving on the highway and all the sudden I’ll lose gas control, and power braking and the dash displays a message that says “shift to neutral to restart vehicle”, battery icon flashes red and I have to coast to the side of the highway. The electronics in the car will still be working when I pull over but the battery is dead. If I shift to park my engine doesn’t turn over or make any clicks at all. …”

NHTSA complaint #11739788, filed 2026-05

Other or unknown: “There is a recall 23S48 to replace the rear camera. My 2022 Ford Transit has a 360 camera and only the rear camera was replaced with the recall. My side camera is also having intermittent issues where it shows a grey/blue screen when the vehicle is placed in reverse. Ford needs to replace all three cameras for the 360 system and not just the rear. This is still a safety issue when you cannot see vehicles on your side when reversing.”

NHTSA complaint #11607279, filed 2024-08

Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors): “My transit 2022 van has intermittent issues with the climate controls not working. Sometimes it will completely stop working for a day or more, and other times a few hours. This becomes a big issue in the winter when you need to keep the windshield clear of frost on the outside and inside. When looking online I found that I am not the only one having this issue.”
