The rearview/360-degree camera system on my 2023 Ford Transit 350 continues to fail, resulting in the rearview camera image and/or other camera views becoming unavailable. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This is a large passenger van with significant blind areas, and the loss of the rearview camera creates a serious safety concern when backing, parking, or maneuvering around pedestrians, children, vehicles, or other objects. When the system fails, I can place the vehicle in reverse and not have the rear camera image that I depend on to see the area immediately behind the vehicle. This is NOT the first occurrence. The vehicle has been taken to an authorized Ford dealer on three separate occasions related to the camera system. Multiple cameras have been replaced. The vehicle has also been subject to Ford safety recall repairs involving the rearview/360-degree camera system. Most importantly, the applicable recall repair was recently completed by an authorized Ford dealer, and the camera system is STILL failing after completion of the recall remedy. The same safety condition that resulted in the recall continues to occur. Ford and its authorized dealer have therefore had multiple opportunities to inspect and repair this vehicle, including replacement of camera components and completion of the safety recall, but the defect has not been permanently corrected. The failure can occur without adequate warning and results in the rearview/360-degree camera image becoming unavailable or otherwise malfunctioning. The problem has occurred repeatedly rather than as an isolated incident. I am filing this complaint because I am concerned that the recall remedy has not successfully corrected the safety defect on this vehicle. I am requesting that NHTSA document and investigate the continued failure of the rearview/360-degree camera system after Ford's recall remedy was performed, including whether the current recall remedy is adequate for affected Ford Tra

This vehicle is subject to Recall 25V860 / Ford Recall 25SD9 involving the left rear half shaft. On several occasions, the vehicle has rolled after being placed in Park. I was forced to quickly reenter the vehicle and apply the brake to prevent a collision, property damage, or personal injury. Due to these repeated incidents, I no longer believe the vehicle can be operated safely. I have attempted to obtain the recall repair through authorized Ford dealerships but have been unable to obtain a permanent remedy. As a result, the vehicle remains subject to a serious safety defect that creates a risk of unintended vehicle movement. I am concerned that the condition described in Recall 25V860 has affected my vehicle and presents an ongoing safety hazard to myself, my passengers, and the public.
