2015 FORD TRANSIT CONNECT Complaints

The change box does not want to give me the changes, how to move forward or backward.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Transit Connect. The contact stated while having the vehicle repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V376000 (Power Train) and 20V331000 (Latches/Locks/Linkages) the dealer failed to remedy the recalls without charge. The manufacturer was informed of the issue and informed the contact to speak to the dealer about reimbursement. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Rear glass on liftgate spontaneously exploded. No apparent cause. Glass shards were showered inside the cabin and the rear of the vehicle. This seems to be an issue with the Transit Connect and other Ford models. NHTSA is aware of the problem.
