rear bumper stepper can't be connect on properly because the bracket that holds the rear bumper stepper is damaged. The bracket is wielded on and cant be removed by ordinary means and because the rear bumper stepper cant be secured it is at risk of falling off while driving and causing damage. It's a safety hazard for people getting in and out through the rear of the vehicle since it's a cargo van and the stepper not being secure can cause slip and fall.

The issue occurs every time the vehicle is driven, and the display shows, “Rear View Camera not available.” Dealers have advised that they will not inspect the vehicle unless we pay a diagnostic fee. In June 2026, we purchased a used 2018 Ford Transit 150 van with 68,000 miles from a Ford dealership. Two days after the purchase, we…

Upon auto inspection, I was informed that the subframe of the van was rotted and needed to be addressed. As the vehicle was not put into service until 2017, the van had less than 7 years on it at the time yet this bolt in member which supports the front lower control arms as well as the steering rack was severly compromised. Due to financial constraints, the member wasn't replaced until recently at which point there were multiple locations that the decay was so severe that one could fit both…

Secondary alternator fails to charge lithium battery bank.
