I am writing to report a serious and recurring safety issue with my 2016 Ford Transit Connect. On four separate occasions, the rear sliding doors on both the driver and passenger sides have completely detached from the vehicle during the normal process of closing them. These incidents occurred without the application of any excessive force or unusual use. The doors unexpectedly slid off their tracks and fell from the vehicle, creating a dangerous situation. Each time this occurred, my family was left stranded, unable to complete our trip or return home safely. As a result of this repeated failure, I have avoided using one of the sliding doors for over a year out of fear that it was not properly re-secured and could fall off again. This issue represents a significant safety concern, particularly for families relying on this vehicle for daily transportation, and I believe it warrants immediate attention and investigation.

I was driving for approximately 6 hours in the rain. When I returned to my home location and filled my vehicle,I only got 14 mpg. Nirmally 17-19mpg. So I figured its been a while since Ive changed thecair filter. So I proceeded to change the air filter. It was completeky saturated with water.I am surprised I made it back through the mountanious area w no cell phone connectivety w passengers. I research what I believe is the oroblem The air intake is located directly behind the front grill next to passenger side headlamp. It has a plastic tube (as a air tunnel) that goes into the botton of the air intake bosmx, in which the filter is on to, letting aur to get through to the engine. From the firce of driving, raining and the engine sucking in air. It almost cacumed the rain into as well. The air intake needs to be revised. Befire a engine stall occurs and loss power and control.

DRIVING DOWN THE HWYWAY THE TRANSMISSION WILL KICK OUT OF SIXTH GEAR . SOMETIMES IT GOES TO FIFTH. SOMETIMES IT GOES TO FORTH. SOMETIMES IT JUST DISCONNECTS. IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM YOU Are reporting on with the F150. MINE IS THE SAME YEAR AND THE SAME MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION AS THE F150 BUT I HAVE THE TRANSIT VAN T350. WHEN IT DOES THIS IT SAYS MOTOR FAILURE ON THE DASH, SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. BUT IT IS NOT THE MOTOR. THE MOTOR IS RUNNING FINE. IT IS THE TRANSMISSION. THIS HAPPENS EVERY 30 TO 70 MILES OF DRIVING FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. WILL FORD FIX IT OR DO I HAVE TO.
