The right tail light seal isn't working, allowing moister in the light. This is corrupting the whole system. The radio, ac, running boards, field monitoring sensors, airbag system, all turn off and on while driving. My vehicle only has 38,000 miles on it. There a multiple complaints on youtube and other ford websites about this issue.the housing for the taillight is terrible and not sealed for the long haul. The dealership has even had to deal with this multiple times. They told me there is no cracks or chips that would be causing this, just improper sealing from the factory. It is scary to think that the airbag system fails from this faulty tail light.
There were 9 of us in our 2017 ford transit, driving on route 15 81 miles south of las vegas, nv, with the cruise control on at 75 mph when the van shut off while in motion. Pulled to the side of the road. Waited 2.5 to 3 hours for a flatbed tow truck while temperature was 108 to 109 degrees f. Vehicle towed to friendly ford, las vegas, nv. Mileage on vehicle was 13,744 miles. Dealer found fuse f16 burned open and codes p025a and u0109. They replaced the fuse f16 and road tested for 15 miles and returned the van to us. They contacted ford technical help. That fuse powers the fuel pump relay and fuel pump control module and pcm. Seems like this same scenario can and will happen again under the same conditions. Failure mode was when we were driving uphill slightly at 1 or 2 percent uphill grade with 3/8 of fuel in the tank. Since then we drove 400 miles without a problem. Afraid to drive in the left carpool lane because it is dangerous to stall out (could get killed by a truck or bus)

Trailer lights do not work issues with the wires short out the fuses can not get it fixed.
The dash display would go completely blank intermittently, beginning with a chime and "low brake fluid" warning.all gauges would go to zero and there was no information displayed after a couple of seconds.this would occur while turning or accelerating.we took it to a ford dealer who found multiple communication faults and recommended replacing the instrument cluster.this was done with no change.i finally traced this down to an unsecured wiring harness that goes up inside the right rear pillar of the vehicle, which was swinging around and shorting out the medium speed can bus.i secured the wiring harness towards the inside of the vehicle with a cable tie and the problem has not returned.but it was very distracting while it happened.we have not had any similar problem with any of our other big transits.

This is the second time our gas pedal has snapped and broke off when taking off/ accelerating. It has also seemed to develop some sort of stutter/bog/hesitation that seems to be linked with the communication from the gas pedal to the computer. Sometimes we will go ahead and pull on out into traffic and accelerate to get up to speed and the van will basically feel like it's stuttering/ hesitating and we give it further throttle with the gas peddle, then it will finally engage and seems to drop down several gears and slam/thrust forward.we have contacted our local ford dealer mountain view ford of chattanooga tn and they have yet to correct or repair this problem.our van is still covered under factory warranty.we have had to source the replacement part from a junk yard both times in order to use our vehicle which had to be towed off the roadway.the gas pedal assembly is made of plastic and has no back stop to stop the suspended gas pedal from bottoming out once it's at full acceleration.i have read online this has happened to others dealing with this same issue.the problem is going to be we're going to be merging on to interstate and it's going to brake and leave us stranded in the middle of the freeway with oncomi ng traffic and no way to get out of the way. *dt
