Back up camera image is reversed, distorted and goes black/blue from time to time.
Mid 2023 the backup camera would sporadically stop working and produce a blue screen and a message "camera is unavailable contact your dealership". I would check for an update and then it would start working. This has happened 8 times since 2023- 2024, in August 2024 it has quit working completely.
While I driving my 4-year-old Ford Transit Connect with 65,000 miles, I noticed a transmission issue. At low speeds, the vehicle struggled to accelerate, which caused me significant stress and felt very unsafe. However, once on the highway, the transmission gradually returned to normal. In March, I took it to a Ford dealership, where it was diagnosed with a faulty transmission. After discussing this issue with others, I found that many people have also complained about serious safety concerns with Ford’s transmissions.
PURCHASED NEW AWD AND NOTICED VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE WHEEL WELL COVERS, I PURCHASED THE AWD BECAUSE I LIVE ON A DIRT ROAD AND WANT TO TAKE OUT ON UNPAVED ROADS, I'VE NOTICED THE AREA HAS COLLECTED LARGE AMOUNTS OF DIRT AND ROCKS. IF I'M DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY A BIG CHUCK COULD FLY OUT AND POSSIBLY DAMAGE CARS BEHIND ME, AND ALSO CASE CONTAINING SEVERAL WIRES IS LOCATED IN THIS SPOT. I'VE CLEANED THIS AREA AND DIRT AND ROCKS CONSTANTLY COLLECTS IN THIS SPOT, I SPENT WELL OVER $50,000 ON THIS VEHICLE, FEEL VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED ON AN ALL WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE
KEYS ARE BREAKING OFF FROM THE ACTUAL REMOTE CAUSING THE DRIVER TO BE STUCK WITHOUT A WAY TO START THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AT LEAST 5 OTHER VANS AS WELL AND OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS THAT DELIVER AMAZON PACKAGES. THERE ARE WELL OVER 20 TO 30 VANS THAT THIS IS ALSO HAPPENING TO.
