What owners report
rear bumper stepper can't be connect on properly because the bracket that holds the rear bumper stepper is damaged. The bracket is wielded on and cant be removed by ordinary means and because the rear bumper stepper cant be secured it is at risk of falling off while driving and causing damage. It's a safety hazard for people getting in and out through the rear of the vehicle since it's a cargo van and the stepper not being secure can cause slip and fall.
235/65R16C This vehicle was a rental. During our trip, the right rear/passenger-side rear tire repeatedly lost air pressure, requiring multiple stops to add air. The tire ultimately went completely flat at night while we were traveling on the highway with four young children in the vehicle. We were stranded along the roadway while traffic, including large semi-trucks, passed at highway speeds, creating a serious safety risk to the occupants. After the tire failed, we observed what appeared to be an existing tire plug/repair near the outer shoulder of the tread. Photographs taken during the incident show the location and condition of this area. The tire had been repeatedly losing air before
The contact owns a 2022 Ford Transit. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the instrument cluster went blank and the vehicle shut off, causing a loss of drive power.

The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 146,390.
The failure involves the vehicleâs 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 vehicle despite the action the dealer has taken relating to the recall. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This malfunction creates a blind spot on one side of the vehicle during
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.
