“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11742171, filed 2026-06“We have a fleet of 17 Ford Transit Cargo Vans. The older generation ones didn't give us a problem whatsoever for visibility but the new ones are all breaking. The sun visor is getting locked and snapping very easily and once broken it is hanging blocking our drivers view even when the sun visor isn't pulled down to be used to block the sun. Each sun visor is a cost of $400 we have purchased new ones to get it repaired thinking it was our drivers fault. However within one month it was broken again.”
