2015 Ford Transit Driver assistance Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the driver-assistance system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Driver assistance reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

The rearview backup camera is glitching often. It's either showing upside down or showing blank screen. When it's disabled, risk or injury and/or death can result. It has not been inspected by manufacturer. No warning message has been seen.

Both rear axle tone rings cracked causing inoperable ABS, stability control, traction control, hill start assist, and front camera/lane departure warning system. One incident happened while driving on the freeway at 75 MPH and all above warning lamps illuminated. The right rear hub assembly/axle needed to be removed and the tone ring replaced by the dealer at 73,000 miles, and the left at 95,000 miles. It appears to be a common problem and the repair process is fairly extensive and expensive which may discourage repair and cause large vans (possibly even 15 passenger models) to be driven without working stability control, ABS, and other important safety systems.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 FORD TRANSIT 250 3.5 ON THE INTERSTATE THE VAN LOST POWER AND NEARLY GOT MY KILLED WHILE TRYING TO NAVIGATE OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT POWER. THE THROTTLE BODY CODE WAS THROWN ON THE CPU, AND I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT THESE NEED TO BE REPLACED WAY MORE THAN NORMAL WITH THESE FORDS. IT'S A HAZARD TO SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN WITHOUT WARNING! AND THE REPLACEMENT PART IS STILL FAULTY. THE THROTTLE BODIES NEED TO BE RECALLED.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
