2017 FORD TRANSIT

Filed Jul 14, 2026


Backup camera is no longer working. It has a white screen but no image, which makes it difficult to back up the van safely since it’s a large van and sits high. I live in a neighborhood with children and it’s challenging to see behind me when backing out of the driveway without the backup camera. Therefore, this is a safety issue. Ford and/or NHTSA have recalled these same backup cameras on other Ford Transit vans, including others manufactured in 2017, but did not include my van.

I locked myself in the cargo area of a Ford Transit Cargo van. This is a safety issue as one should always be able to exit any part of the van. I had the key fob with me at the time. This is to recreate the problem: 1) Slam the door shut between the driver compartment and the cargo area. This locks the door, and it cannot be opened without a physical key. 2) Close the back doors, but not quite all the way. Then lock and unlock them with the key fob. The doors should have an inch or two of…

I bought the car in 2017 with 7800 miles within the first few months. The rear camera began to freeze sometimes I once went to the dealer but they said they can’t find it because at that point in time it wasn’t freezing so they couldn’t do anything about it now at least 95% of the time the rear camera does not work either is upside down or it doesn’t work at all I see there has been a recall for my year similar vehicles for this problem of the rearview camera. For some reason my car was not…

2016 FORD TRANSIT

Filed Jun 25, 2026


My 2016 Ford Transit experienced a sudden loss of engine power while I was driving on the highway. The vehicle entered limp mode, stalled, and emitted excessive black smoke from the exhaust, creating a hazardous situation for me and surrounding motorists. I was forced to pull off the roadway because the vehicle could no longer operate safely. When a warning first appeared, I promptly took the vehicle to an authorized dealer, the dealership preformed some type of update and a DPF regeneration…

This is a Ford Palladium Van, year 2024, the secondary alternator charging circuit that Thor has installed has a lot of problems. Specifically, the alternator from Balmar fails and you cannot charge lithium batteries while the van is in motion. The whole point of the secondary alternator is to charge these batteries while in motion. Its a safety issue when traveling with children or pets because battery voltage drops if you have to run AC while in a store or something. You proceed down the…

2022 FORD TRANSIT

Filed Jun 23, 2026


The failure involves the vehicle’s surround-view (360-degree) camera system, specifically the side camera feed and/or image stitching/display system. When the camera system is activated, one side of the 360-degree view intermittently fails and is replaced by a solid gray box instead of a live image, as shown in the attached photos. This suggests a fault in the side camera, wiring, or software processing. Ford has issued a recall related to the camera system; however, this issue persists in this…
