More issues in December 2024/January 2025 - this time it was really hard and jerky shifting. It was sporadic at this time, but it was often. My wife and I have 7 children. This vehicle is usually driven by my wife to pick up kids from school, run errands, etc. At the beginning of March 2025, my wife was merging onto the highway, but it didn't want to shift. She stated that a big rig was coming behind her and the van was not shifting and picking up speed. She said the engine was revving but just was not shifting up. She said the big rig honked and had to change lanes or else he would have hit her and my kids. Several seconds after the big rig passed was when the transmission hard shifted and jerked and it began to pick up more speed, but from that point on, the transmission was not operating properly.  We have not driven it since March 2025. I have been saving up to fix the transmission, but I read so many other Ford owners have the same issue with this particular transmission.   The Ford dealer confirmed it had a TSB on this exact issue and that many other 10r80 transmissions were doing the same.  The issue was reproduced by the Ford dealer. It states the CDF issue in the invoice.  There were no warning lamps or messages prior to the experience merging on to the highway.   I reached out to a local independent mechanic and he upgrades the parts in these Ford transmissions all the time - proving it is a very common issue.   This is a huge safety risk for anyone operating or riding in a Ford with this transmission.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2020","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"TRANSIT","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]},{"odiNumber":11686639,"manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"07/01/2025","dateComplaintFiled":"09/11/2025","vin":"1FTBW3XG6LK","components":"UNKNOWN OR OTHER","summary":"Back up camera image is reversed, distorted and goes black/blue from time to time.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2020","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"TRANSIT","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]},{"odiNumber":11671444,"manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"12/11/2024","dateComplaintFiled":"07/06/2025","vin":"1FTRS4UG9LK","components":"BACK OVER PREVENTION","summary":"The rear back up camera stopped working completely  I took it to Faricy boys Ford in Canon City Co  Waited 45 days for them to get the part and then they told me they weren\u2019t comfortable changing the camera out so I have been with out back up camera on this 22 foot van needing assistance for almost every single move Please help me get this vin on the recall  Thank you [XXX]  INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2020","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"TRANSIT","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]},{"odiNumber":11668587,"manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"06/22/2025","dateComplaintFiled":"06/23/2025","vin":"1FBAX9YG4LK","components":"POWER TRAIN,SERVICE BRAKES","summary":"The contact owns a 2020 Ford Transit.

This is a Winnebago installed electrical system component mounted in the Ford Transit chassis engine bay that provides electrical charging to the RV coach batteries.  There was an initial NHTSA Safety Recall 23V-234 issued in 2023 after numerous Balmar units failed; in some cases the Balmar unit failure caused a fire in the engine bay.   I had the Safety Recall work performed in July 2023 by authorized dealer Dennis Dillion RV in Boise Idaho per the attached invoice and the Balmar charging system had been working well until now. I am aware that there are ongoing reports by other Ekko owners of  the Balmar alternator failures reoccurring after the Safety Recall work was performed, and in some cases even after  Balmar 2nd alternators' were replaced, which suggests the initial solution provided by the Safety Recall was not sufficient to prevent a failure.    Within minutes of starting to drive my RV today I noticed an unfamiliar whining sound from somewhere under the hood that I had not heard before and immediately checked my coach batteries while driving a short distance and went from the batteries discharging significantly to not charging at all. I opened the engine hood and had smoke visible and a strong burning smell coming from the passenger side of the engine bay where the Balmar unit is located. I was very concerned about the potential for an engine bay fire, but fortunately was very close to my home, so my RV is now parked in my driveway.   See attached screenshots showing the initial voltage discharge while driving and then  the batteries not getting any charge while under power. Also attached is the Recall 23V-234 repair instructions.  I plan to unplug the Balmar alternator to prevent the potential for a fire while awaiting a response from Winnebago how to proceed.  Despite the NHTSA Safety Recall having been performed, there are reports of alternator's failing and risk of vehicle fires remains.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2020","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"TRANSIT","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]},{"odiNumber":11618474,"manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"10/07/2024","dateComplaintFiled":"10/07/2024","vin":"1FTBR2C86LK","components":"STEERING,POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM","summary":"In march 2024 my vehicle unexpectedly cutoff on [XXX]  heading into wash. Dc. Called a tow to my mechanic and had the alternator and battery replaced. Mechanic noticed that the vehicles battery light remained and investigated further. After amonth in the shop we observed that components were utilizing battery power when the system should be off. We heard mechanical diagnostic sounds, and the battery would not maintain a charge after being driven.   Upon getting it home and a day later upon jump starting again and when i began to turn the wheel, a violent jerking response came  from the steering column. Cheched the dash and several popup windows had to be closed. AWD, BATTERY, and low fuel. There was also the wrench light on the  dash itself.   Went on the Ford forum and many others were describing the same issues, mainly battery drain. I thought i had disconnected the cargo area lights only to find out i did disconnect part but not them all only to further discover Ford engineered the vehicle where most of the features that were described in the forum not so accessible such as the fuse panel 'fuse 32' because theres no clear indication of where that is exactly on the diagrams.  Ive have pretty much used the vehicle on occasions where im moving my equipment.  As of september, i received a letter from fords \"Customer Satisfaction Program\" in which i responded only to be told from Bannister Ford that the Software Update that would fix High-Torque launches would not be installed because the battery light was on.  Now to me, this sounds like a catch-22 because the issue is with their electrical design where if one problem occurs they have a fix but you wont get it until you fix the prom (ideally with them). all the while I'm setting up the appointment im being served ads for add-on services.

The drivers seat creates a bulge about half-way up the seat back when the seat warms up either with the heated seat feature or sunlight and pushes me forward out of the safety of the side seat bolsters. The passenger seat does not have this issue and has a slight concave shape to it for proper support. The Ford dealer has replaced the lumbar support system and \"wrapped\" the lever inside the seat back to reduce any protrusions. I now can feel that padding which adds to the bulge that pushes me forward. The Ford rep says they have not been able to duplicate the concern. I have asked for someone to drive the vehicle for a period of time so they too can notice how the bulge gets bigger as the seat heats up. The rep says there is nothing more they can do since the problem can't be duplicated. So, I am asking for your help since I feel very unsafe when I have to drive this due to the bulge.

I asked [XXX] about the driver seat, and he states they have not been able to reproduce the concern you reported, they have also compared it to other Transits at their dealership and find your seat to be similar. Until or unless they are able to verify a concern that is due to a factory defect in the seat or components, they will not be able to address this further.
