I own a 2016 Ford Transit (VIN [XXX] ) and the rear camera goes blank when the car is going in reverse. Currently, my VIN is not included in the recall even though the year, make, and model is within the range. It has the same issue as described here on your page [XXX] and I am hoping that Ford will extend it to my VIN as well. I have contacted them separately to let them know of the issue. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The backup camera on my Transit does not work. When in reverse the screen turns blue or says camera not available. It has shown the image upside down a few times, but it never works for more than a few seconds. I just bought this vehicle in November, and it has been doing this the entire time it has been in my possession.

Rear view camera has sometimes screen has inverted view, totally blank, and even blue screen, sometimes works for a few seconds and then goes blank

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Transit. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds and accelerating, the vehicle was shaking and vibrating abnormally. The vehicle was slowly driven to the local mechanic to be diagnosed, and it was determined that the driveshaft coupling had failed and needed to be replaced. The driveshaft coupling was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired; however, months later, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V767000 (POWER TRAIN). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 100,000.

This complaint is specifically related to Ford Recall 16S32 / NHTSA Campaign 16V618000 regarding the High-Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) failure. My vehicle (VIN: [XXX] ) has experienced the exact mechanical failure described in this recall, resulting in metal debris throughout the fuel system and a sudden loss of engine power while driving. This created an immediate safety hazard on the road. Ford is currently denying assistance because my vehicle’s production date falls just one day (24 hours) outside the official recall window. It is mechanically impossible for a manufacturing defect present in the recalled batch to not exist in a vehicle produced only 24 hours earlier. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this arbitrary 1-day exclusion. Ford should not be allowed to avoid responsibility for a known safety defect based on a marginal production date error, especially when the failure and the parts involved are identical to those covered under the recall INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The rear view camera freezes or distorts or is just blank very often. I see a recall for Transit vans from my year for this problem but mine isn’t included.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Transit. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled. During the failure, the warning message "Reduced Power" was displayed. The contact stated that after restarting the engine, the vehicle operated as intended; however, the failure reoccurred later. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who replaced the fuel injector, but the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was later towed to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that there were metal shavings in the fuel system. The dealer determined that the entire fuel system needed to be replaced, including the fuel pump, the fuel valves and the fuel injector. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in the NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V618000(Fuel System, Diesel, Engine and Engine Cooling), which the contact related to the failure. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The failure mileage was 165,000.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Transit. While the contact's wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. The contact stated that the engine revved, and the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle was driven to the shoulder of the roadway. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was turned off; however, while the contact's wife was attempting to restart the vehicle, the vehicle failed to restart. In addition, the contact stated that the failure had occurred while his wife was driving with children inside the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where the failure was associated with an unrepaired recall. The contact was notified of NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V767000 (Power Train). The VIN was associated with the recall. The dealer submitted the repair request to the manufacturer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was file,d but the repair was denied. The contact was informed that the repair was not covered under warranty. The contact then submitted a copy of the recall to the manufacturer and was informed that the repair was not covered because the recall was not performed in the required time frame. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

The car has the same problem it had before the recall. The dealer who supposedly fixed it says it's no longer under the recall warranty.

Rear view camera either goes out or is upside down. Went out so hit something. Luckily no real damage. Went to dealer and they said it’s not part of recall

Crash

The vehicle back up camera goes out when reversing. Not every time, but intermittently, maybe 50% of the time. The screen goes blue, followed by the message "Rear View Camera Not Available." This makes it incredibly challenging to see pedestrians or cars directly behind the vehicle. It has not had it confirmed by a dealer; the local dealer said there was nothing yet in their system stating a recall on the vehicle. The NHTSA Advance Notice Safety Recall 25S89 specifically calls out the vehicle as being potentially affected, based on assembly plant and build dates. I have not had it inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others. There have been no warning lamps. Just the screen going blue, followed by the message "Rear View Camera Not Available"

The rear back up camera is very hit and miss….. works sometimes and not other times. Shows blue screen color,black screen color when it does not work.

Summary of Complaint: The brake lines on my vehicle failed at highway speed (75 mph on I-65) while my wife and eight children were inside. This sudden failure created an extremely dangerous, life-threatening situation. Fortunately, we were able to avoid a crash, but this could easily have caused multiple fatalities. Details: We purchased this vehicle used at approximately 60,000 miles. I was never notified by Ford, the dealership, or NHTSA/DMV of any requirement for interim recall repairs every 40,000 miles. During a service at Antioch Ford, I was told there was an open recall but that parts were unavailable. I was never contacted again by Ford or the dealership with instructions to remedy the defect. Ford has since confirmed in writing that the recall requires interim repairs every 40,000 miles but claims they will not assist financially since my vehicle has not had those interim repairs. As a second owner, I had no knowledge of this requirement because I never received recall letters or notices. Safety Concern: This is a serious safety defect that nearly caused catastrophic injury or death to my family. The manufacturer has acknowledged the recall but is refusing assistance, citing “policy,” even though I was never notified of the required interim repairs. Ford has also attempted to close my case as “inactive” without resolution. Requested Action: I am requesting that NHTSA investigate Ford’s handling of this recall, specifically: Whether Ford properly notified subsequent owners about interim recall repair requirements. Whether Ford should be compelled to remedy this defect at no cost, given the severity and risk to public safety.

I am a victim of odometer tampering, the odometer has been rolled back and I traded my truck for it under the premise that it had 57000 miles. I am currently taking the perpetrator to civil court to recuperate the money that is owed me by the low mileage fraud, in Cincinnati OH, Hamilton County. I would like to see this scum prosecuted because of this horrible crime. I have talked to the local police but they did nothing at all about it and said they couldn’t, I was trying to look at other outlets and hopefully I have found the right one because it seems like nobody can do anything about it and even though a crime happened people want to sweep it under the rug, I want justice and to see this scum go to jail.

Ford automotive previously repaired the flexible driveshaft coupling, on my vehicle at about 57k miles, under recall 19S38. That exact same part failed prematurely, yesterday, at about 110k miles. I just contacted Ford and they said it was a permanent fix and no further recalls have been issued.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Transit. The contact stated that while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road and restarted. The contact stated that when the vehicle was shifted into drive(D), and the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to accelerate. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the axle was severed in two and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 96,000.

The contact is a lawyer whose client owned a 2016 Ford Transit. The contact stated that while driving at 30 MPH, the drive shaft coupling detached from the transmission. The contact stated that the air bags deployed in his vehicle. The contact stated that he sustained head and back injuries. Medical attention was required. The contact stated that a police report was filed. The contact mentioned the seat belt retracking was unknown. The contact mentioned the vehicle was towed to an unknown location. The vehicle was deemed a total loss. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact related to the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V767000 (Power Train).

I was driving for approximately 6 hours in the rain. When I returned to my home location and filled my vehicle,I only got 14 mpg. Nirmally 17-19mpg. So I figured its been a while since Ive changed thecair filter. So I proceeded to change the air filter. It was completeky saturated with water.I am surprised I made it back through the mountanious area w no cell phone connectivety w passengers. I research what I believe is the oroblem The air intake is located directly behind the front grill next to passenger side headlamp. It has a plastic tube (as a air tunnel) that goes into the botton of the air intake bosmx, in which the filter is on to, letting aur to get through to the engine. From the firce of driving, raining and the engine sucking in air. It almost cacumed the rain into as well. The air intake needs to be revised. Befire a engine stall occurs and loss power and control.

Recurring Intermittent abrupt downshifting to first gear at highway speeds.

WHEN IT DOES THIS IT SAYS MOTOR FAILURE ON THE DASH, SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. BUT IT IS NOT THE MOTOR. THE MOTOR IS RUNNING FINE. IT IS THE TRANSMISSION. THIS HAPPENS EVERY 30 TO 70 MILES OF DRIVING FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. WILL FORD FIX IT OR DO I HAVE TO.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Transit. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, an abnormal sound was coming from the vehicle while turning to the left or the right.

I was going up hill and I heard a pop and smoke started to come out form the center console and then the truck burst into flames

Fire

Failed Reductant Heater, poor SCR performance (requiring a new SCR) and EGR failure at 8 years, 132k miles

I was not made aware of the recall. The driveshaft separated while I was driving, causing significant damage to other parts of the vehicle, including the transmission, motor and transmission mount, cooling, electrical and brake and transmission lines, oil and fuel parts, and much more underneath the van. This happened after a very brief hard vibration moments before it “exploded” and sent me flying into the air and coming to a very quick stop, which also caused medical issues. Ford is refusing to repair all that their recalled part damaged claiming they “notified me” but I haven’t received such notice. I stay up on all maintenance and repairs for my van, and the dealership acknowledged that when looking at the vehicle history reports.

Instrument panel turns off on and on during driving. No ability to see speed, acceleration, engine heat, fuel, or any lights at all (unable to see warning lights like engine light or airbag or tire pressure and not even able to use blinkers or high lights). Problem occurs during driving (will even turn off and on many times within same driving session) but will also happen while car is sitting just with ignition on. Took to dealer and they couldnt find the problem, told me to (and I quote) “continue driving until it gets worse” so they could find the problem later on. Romano Ford in Fayetteville NY told us to continue using the vehicle while the instrument panels contiously turns off and on, disregarding the safety issues of not being able to monitor anything while driving (speed, heat, fuel, warnings, blinkers or anything!). When we scanned the vehicle for DTCs it comes up as the instrument panel is losing connection to every single module in the vehicle, and they for some reason do not see this as dangerous.
