The Sliding Door On The Drivers Side. I Opened It And Then It Would Not Close. A Little Plastic Spring / Plunger From The “b” Post Had Attached Itself To The Pin On The Door And Would Not Allow The Door To Close. There Was No Way To Get The Door To Close Other Than To Manually Work And Remove This Spring From The Door Pin, However The Plastic Part Of The Spring / Plunger Is Still Impaled On The Door Pin. I Am Taking The Vehicle Into The Dealer For Repair – But Obviously This Is A Serious Design Defect That Keeps The Door From Properly Closing And Latching. *tr

Perhaps Not A Safety Hazard, But The Rear Area Of The 7 Passenger Is Not Heated, Causing Discomfort To Passengers And Pets. Actually, The Rear “heater” Blows Cold Air. Two Dealerships Have Inspected My Vehicle (5800 Miles) And Both Reported That The Design Is, “inadequate”, “poor”, “not Thought Out”, “crappy” And So On. That Was The Only Explanation They Could Tender. I Have Posted This Situation Of The transit Connect Forum And Have Noted That Others Are Experiencing The Same Problem. I Just Paid $32,000 For A New Vehicle That Has A Totally Inadequate Rear Heating System. Of Course I Purchased The Vehicle At The End Of July So I Never Gave The Rear Heater A Thought. Come To Think Of It, I Have Never Given A Rear Heater A Thought As They Always Worked. When Was The Last Time You Checked The Operation Of The Rear Heating System Before Purchasing A New Vehicle? *tr

“engine Fault, Service Now” Light Comes On Upon Ignition, And While Operating. Engine Bucks, Stalls, And Slips. This Has Happened More Than 100 Times Since I Purchased The Van In August 2014. The Dealership Says They Do Not Know How To Fix It. It Is A Known Problem With ford, But They Are Completely Ignoring Me. My Cust. Service Rep Tells Me That The “next Step” Is To Take It To The Dealership To Have Them Repair It. The Van Is Unrepairable And Dangerous.

Going 60mph Heard A High Pitched Nose Inside The Front Of The Vehicle. Dealer Thought There Was A Hole In The Firewall. Not The Case I Am The First One To Have This Issue. Found Out Today After They Had The Vehicle For Over 3 Weeks That The Vista Window, Which Is On Top Of The Vehicle, Was Loose And Could Fly Off At Anytime. Instant Sunroof But Think About The Vehicles Behind You That Could Cause A Bad Accident. It Was Determined By ford That If You Get Inside The Vehicle And Push Up On The Glass And It Moves Then It Will Fly Off At Any Time. This Was Caused By It Not Being Installed Correctly At The Factory. I Don’t Have A Problem With This Anymore As I Traded That Vehicle In On Another One With Out The Window..

Our transit Connect Has Not Had A Problem With The Fuel Pump, And There Are Over 7000 Miles After Less Than A Year. I Bought It At Jim Bass ford During The Fall Of 2014. I Noticed The Recall For The Fuel Pump In June And Was Told By Jim Bass ford In San Angelo That Parts Weren’t Available. The Nhtsa And ford.com Website Information Concurred. I Checked The First Week Of August, And Online Still Says The Parts Are Not Available. But The Jim Bass ford Technician Said I Could Bring It In And They Would Check It And See If It Needed A New Fuel Pump And Associated Parts. My Appointment Was Made For One Week Later, Which Was Tuesday, August 11. Yesterday They Told Me Tuesday That It Would Be Fixed By Today. The Technician Said The Parts Were Available As Of Yesterday, But Today When I Arrived To Pick Up The Van, I Was Told The Parts Had Not Come In And It Could Be Weeks Before They Do. Rather Than Leave The Van In The Hot Sun For Weeks, I Took It Home To My Garage. Then I Called ford.com Customer Service And Was Told The Parts Won’t Be Ready Until October. Tonight I Read The Nhtsa Report Again Which Says That Fuel Pump Problems Of Some Vans Were Taken Care Of In February, 2015. I Feel Like I Am Getting The Run-around From Everyone. Whose Information Is Correct? Are The Parts Available Now Or Not? If So, Why Can’t They Get Parts For My Van? Also, I Have Not Received A Recall Letter From ford. Any Information I Have Gotten Has Been From Either The Nhtsa Website Or ford.com. Can I Drive The Van? Why Haven’t I Gotten A Recall Letter? My Husband Was With Me When I Picked Up The Van Today.

Well Driving My transit Connect . I Slow Down Or Stop For A Light . When It Turns Green I Give It Gas And The Vehicle Will Hesitate Before Taking Off. I Told My ford Dealership About The Recall On The Fuel Pump But They Tell Me By Checking The Vin No Your Vehile Isnt On That Recall. I Just Find It Heard To Believe That Every Recall ford Has Had For The transit Connect . My Vehicle Was Not Involved In Any Of The Recalls. The Issue I Am Having Happens In The City Streets, On Highway, Turning Etc. When I Need The Get Up And Go From The Gas Tank It Fails To Happen
