The windshield was leaking at the top on my van and my friends, both 2016 Ford Transit Connect's. Passenger vans. It then popped out at the top when cleaning the inside of the windshield with a cloth, not pushing. Both of ours have now been replaced but think others should be checked. I was told by installer it could have come loose during an accident or even while driving at higher speeds on the highways. The seal, if any had been installed on the top edge, was not attached to the windshields glass. When I was at kelly Ford in melbourne florida, for a recall repair, they are the one that pushed on the glass when cleaning it after their car wash. My friend's van was also at kelly Ford where they were fixing the brakes that had locked up and failed right after she bought it. They replaced her windshield. They told me to get it fixed on my own which I did.

Vehicle has 17,888 miles on the odometer. While the vehicle was in motion at 40 mph the motor stumbled, lost power, and the check engine light illuminated along with a message stating there was a system fault and to service the engine now. I rolled to a stop, turned off the vehicle, attempted a restart and the vehicle ran as normal. The next day, while cruising at 70 mph on the highway, the vehicle stumbled, lost power, and the check engine light illuminated along with a message stating there was a system fault and to service the engine now. This time, while on the highway, was very dangerous. I could not move the vehicle under its own power and I was rapidly losing speed. I luckily managed to pull over onto the shoulder where I turned off the vehicle, then restarted it. Drove as normal after the restart. Dealership identified the issue was the electronic throttle body malfunctioning. Personal research revealed that this is a widespread issue. This issue is dangerous for the owner of the vehicle and for other drivers. I could have been rear ended on the highway quite easily because my vehicle did not have any power to move, just the remaining momentum to keep it moving. I fail to see how so many of these failing electronic throttle bodies are still in use when there is clearly danger to consumers.

The fuse associated with the rearview camera of this vehicle has consistently blown over the last few years leaving the backup camera inoperable with no image on the dashboard display. The lack of a functioning backup camera results in the loss of a view directly behind the vehicle which could result in an accident. A warning stating that "rear view camera is unavailable" and a dark display occur when the fuse is blown. The rearview camera fuse blows often typically only after a few vehicle trips. After diagnosing the blown fuse issue, chafing of a wiring harness was found behind a grommet where wires pass between the vehicle body and the rear liftgate. The damaged wiring harness is in the vehicle and available for inspection. This issue has also been documented by others as was discovered by searching for information on the internet.

Wal-mart alpharetta, GA installed the wrong tires on the front of my 2015 Ford Transit Connect in August 2017. Starke, FL wal-mart could not balance the tires due to wrong load limit having been installed, bubble on driver's side that could blow at any minute & tires having been counter-balanced when installed. I have contacted alpharetta wal-mart, provided all needed info, asked that they make arrangements with starke, FL wal-mart to install 2 new proper load tires at no cost to me. Assistant manager tony was to contact me the following day after wal-mart was advised of the problem. I attempted 3 times to fax the info but their fax machine would not work. I mailed all documentation to assure their notification. I have not heard from anyone. I am afraid to drive. If an accident occurs, this will immediately become a much larger problem than it is now. Please do something to make wal-mart correct this problem right away.
