I am submitting this complaint to report an unresolved safety recall and the inability to obtain a timely inspection or repair, which I believe places me and my family at increased risk of a crash. My vehicle is a 2015 Ford Transit Connect. The vehicle is subject to Ford Safety Recall 25S89 and NHTSA Recall 25V572, concerning a failure of the rearview camera system. The rearview camera on my vehicle frequently displays a message stating “Rear View Camera Unavailable, Contact Ford Dealership” and then goes to a black screen. This results in a complete loss of rear visibility while backing up, increasing the risk of a collision, especially involving pedestrians or other vehicles. I received the safety recall notice in September 2025. Since then, I have made numerous attempts to have the vehicle inspected and repaired. Despite repeated contact with my local dealership, has informed me that they cannot perform the inspection or recall repair because they do not have an SSCC repair procedure available and therefore cannot proceed. I have also contacted Ford Motor Company customer service by phone multiple times, but these calls have not resulted in a resolution or a clear path to getting the vehicle repaired. As a result, I am left operating a vehicle with a known safety defect and no access to the recall remedy. I am deeply concerned for my safety and the safety of my family. Operating this vehicle without a reliable rearview camera significantly increases the chance of a crash,

No remedy from Ford for this recall since September 8 2025. This is a work vehicle I can not use until recall fixed

I have sing of transmission fault service now

2015 Ford transit connect 150: while driving on the freeway 60-65 mph, the brakes seem to lock up without depressing the pedal, slowing to 40 mph and shaking uncontrollably. putting on the brake to exit the flow of traffic, braking caused the vehicle to shake even more finally by pumping the accelerator, the speed increased again. finally getting off of the freeway the brake pedal went to the floor. i had to pump the brake pedal until it finally reacted. less than a week later, getting on the freeway almost the exact thing happened. luckily i was a bit more prepared when i felt the shaking. today, driving the van back to our warehouse approx 15 miles on regular streets (not freeway driving) the brakes again went to the floor. master cylinder not leaking, brakes seem to be in good shape...but something is wrong we brought the vehicle to Sawgrass Ford in Sunrise Florida. they had it for over a month. they were unable to determine the problem and only made suggestions to completely change out all the brake components for $5-$6,000.00 but also said that they could not guarantee that this would fix the problem. the brakes were serviced approximately 6-7 months prior to these incidents I called Corporate Ford office. was told that the 2016 ford transit connect had Brake Hydrolic Control Unit recalls, but the 2015 doesn't have the recall listed. I also looking on manywebsites to verify any other2015/2016 problems with the brakes "locking up" or vehicle going into safe mode (another

The vehicle receives a considerable amount of water through the windshield when it rains (it can be more than a liter depends of the time on the road) it runs down through the glass and also falls on the dash. It can cause visibility problems while driving because the water run on the the driver's side of the glass too.

Steering knuckle developed a crack through what appears to be defective casting of the part. Crack was noticed prior to separation of steering assembly. This could have created and extreme hazard if not noticed prior to total failure.

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.

PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO MAKE WAL-MART CORRECT THIS PROBLEM RIGHT AWAY.

WINDSHIELD HAS MANY LITTLE SPECKS THAT GET WORST WHEN THE SUN LIGHT HITS IT MAKING DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS IT APPEARS TO BE IN THE GLASS IT SELF

VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED, THE WINDOWS FAILED TO GO UP AND DOWN, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY MORE THAN FOUR DEALERS, BUT THE FAILURES STILL OCCURRED.

AUTOMAX FORD KILLEEN INSTALLED RECALL 16S30 ON 6-16-17. ON 7-22-18, DOOR LATCH FAILED IN MANNER DESCRIBED BY RECALL. TOOK VAN INTO AUTOMAX ON 7-25, ON 7-31 WAS TOLD RECALL PART HAD FAILED, ON 8-1 TOLD I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR REPAIR. I THOUGHT PAYING FOR DUPLICATE FAILURE OF RECALL ISSUE WAS WRONG AND CONTACTED FORD NATIONAL OFFICE FOR HELP. FORD CORP. RESPONSE WAS FAVORABLE BUT NOT DEFINITELY COVERING COST UNTIL DEALER RESPONSE. ON 8-6 RECEIVED FINAL APPROVAL THAT FORD CORP. WOULD PAY DEALER. ON 8-8 REPAIR PICKED UP CAR AFTER REPAIR COMPLETED, ALSO PERSONALLY PAID FOR 2ND PART FOR PASSENGER SIDE (SINCE IT WAS LIKELY TO FAIL TOO IF DRIVER SIDE RECALL PART FAILED & BOTH WERE REPLACED DURING 2017 REPAIR). DURING PICKUP, NOTICED THAT FAILED PART THAT HAD BEEN REMOVED HAD A 07.10.2014 MFG DATE STICKER. SINCE RECALL WASN'T ISSUED UNTIL 2016, THIS PART COULD NOT BE A FAILED RECALL PART BUT WAS ACTUALLY AN ORIGINAL PART FROM MY VANS MFG IN LATE 2014. DEALER SUGGESTED THIS WAS NOT THE CASE BUT WOULD INVESTIGATE AND ALLOWED ME TO RETURN HOME WITH ONLY DRIVERS SIDE REPAIRED AND PASSENGER SIDE UNTOUCHED. RETURNED HOME AND PULLED DOOR TRIM ON PASSENGER SIDE, FOUND SEAL INSIDE DOOR UNTOUCHED AND DATED 2014 ALSO. COULD NOT HAVE PERFORMED RECALL IN 2017 WITHOUT BREAKING SEAL. RETURNED 8-9 WITH PROOF AND FINALLY GOT PASSENGER SIDE REPAIRED USING PART I PAID FOR. PROMISED REFUND BUT NOT RECEIVED UNTIL 8-21 AND AMOUNT SLIGHTLY LESS THAN PAID DUE TO TAX NOT INCLUDED. EXPRESSED CONCERN THAT OTHER

ENGINE OVERHEATING WHILE DRIVING A NORMAL SPEEDS

THE VEHICLE ROLLED WHEN THE SHIFT LEVER WAS PLACED INTO PARK POSITION. THE DRIVER HAD PARKED THE VEHICLE. THE SHIFT LEVER BUSHING HAD BECOME DETACHED FROM THE SHIFT LEVER ON THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL FOR FORD FUSION AND FORD ESCAPE VEHICLES. THIS ALSO HAPPENED ON ANOTHER OF OUR 2015 FORD TRANSIT CONNECT VEHICLES.
