Ford Transit-350 backup warning system only sounds through rear doors, awaiting factory response on Ford Transit-350

Some Ford Transit-350 owners report experiencing issues with the backup warning system, specifically that the warning tone only emits sounds through the rear doors when reversing. This can be problematic if the system fails to alert drivers adequately of nearby objects. Owners have noted that the warning activates when an object is close to the bumper, but they may also have concerns about the effectiveness of the front sensors designed for crash avoidance. Some users suggest troubleshooting by listening to each sensor for potential malfunctions. Additionally, there are options to disable the sensors or disconnect the backup alarm if it becomes a nuisance, including using console button presses or clipping wires. Some owners have opted to unplug the system behind the left rear wheel or install a kill switch for easier control. If these issues persist, it is advisable for owners to contact the Ford factory or consult a certified technician for further assistance and resolution.
