THE LIGHTS ARE NOT CAPABLE OF PROVIDING CORRECT, PROPER LIGHTING. TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE FORD DEALER, VILLA FORD, ORANGE CA ON 9/28/16 AND LEFT THE CAR OVERNIGHT.. THE DEALER NEVER EVEN GOT TO THE CAR! I HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE 2015 TRANSIT CONNECT ON THE INTERNET INCLUDING, EDMUNDS SITE. DIANA AT FORD MOTOR CO. NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE COMPLETELY STOPPED RESPONDING ON 9/2916 AND DID NOTHING. SHE CLAIMED THERE WAS NO SUCH VIN NUMBER AND STOPPED COMMUNICATION WITHOUT ADDRESSING THE SAFETY ISSUE IN ANY WAY. SO, I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, (800)392-3673, AND SPOKE TO ASHLEY. ASHLEY CALLED VILLA FORD IN ORANGE CA. ASHLEY INFORMED ME VILLA FORD SAID THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM WITH THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. ASHLEY. THEN TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING FORD COULD DO. AT THE LAST HOUR OF THE SECOND DAY I WAS INFORMED THEY HAD NOT GOT AROUND TO THE CAR, BUT WOULD HAVE A MECHANIC SEND A QUESTION TO FORD MOTOR CO AN ASK A QUESTION ABOUT THE INADEQUATE HEADLIGHTS.

I PURCHASED A 2015 FORD TRANSIT 350 XLT 15 PASSENGER VAN EXACTLY TWO WEEKS AGO. THE VAN HAS 30,000 MILES AND CAME WITH OEM CONTINENTAL 235/65 R16 VANCO FOUR SEASON TIRES. LAST WEEK I NOTICED A "CHUNK" OF RUBBER MISSING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE (LOCATED ON TREAD, OUTER LUG). THE CHUNK IS AROUND 1/2 TO 3/4 INCH IN WIDTH AND CONSIDERABLY DEEP. TWO DAYS AGO I NOTICED A VERY LARGE CHUNK OF TREAD MISSING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE. THIS PARTICULAR AREA IS 1 1/2 TO 1 3/4 INCH WIDE AND SO DEEP, I CAN SEE NYLON CORDS. AT THIS POINT, I NOTIFIED CONTINENTAL AS I HAVE NEVER SEEN TIRES IN THIS CONDITION WITH ONLY 30,000 MILES. THE TIRES WERE MANUFACTURED IN WEEK 38, 2014. I HAVE A LARGE FAMILY AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING ON THESE TIRES. CONTINENTAL WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY AS I'M NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I WANTED TO WRITE TO MAKE FOLKS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, JUST IN CASE THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER REPORTS FOR THIS SPECIFIC TIRE LINE.
