1 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2025

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, and I believe the continued delay in providing a remedy defeats the purpose of a safety recall. I respectfully request that NHTSA document this complaint and take any appropriate action to ensure that Ford motor company provides a timely inspection and repair for this safety defect.

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.
