2015 FORD TRANSIT Complaints

The fuse associated with the rearview camera of this vehicle has consistently blown over the last few years leaving the backup camera inoperable with no image on the dashboard display. The lack of a functioning backup camera results in the loss of a view directly behind the vehicle which could result in an accident. A warning stating that "rear view camera is unavailable" and a dark display occur when the fuse is blown. The rearview camera fuse blows often typically only after a few vehicle trips. After diagnosing the blown fuse issue, chafing of a wiring harness was found behind a grommet where wires pass between the vehicle body and the rear liftgate. The damaged wiring harness is in the vehicle and available for inspection. This issue has also been documented by others as was discovered by searching for information on the internet.

The steering rack is not moving freely. Struts, tie rods and U joint are moving freezing but the steering rack is not. This is a huge safety concern because if the steering rack were to lock up and then allow me, the driver, to turn the wheel, that would absolutely cause me to crash.
