We have a fleet of 17 Ford Transit Cargo Vans. The older generation ones didn't give us a problem whatsoever for visibility but the new ones are all breaking. The sun visor is getting locked and snapping very easily and once broken it is hanging blocking our drivers view even when the sun visor isn't pulled down to be used to block the sun. Each sun visor is a cost of $400 we have purchased new ones to get it repaired thinking it was our drivers fault. However within one month it was broken again.

My van has the 360 camera (1 one each side and 1 on the rear). My van would intermittently experience blue image on the sides and rear when vehicle is placed in reverse. There was a recall on the rear camera only (Recall 23V598) that was recently performed on my van. It looks like the rear camera is fixed but I am now intermitently getting a gray image on the left and right camera when the vehicle is placed in reverse. Ford needs to replace all 3 of the cameras to really fix this issue.
