2019 Ford Transit Connect complaints
Owner reports filed with NHTSA about this vehicle, newest first and reproduced as filed. They are unverified accounts: one proves nothing, and a pattern across many is the thing worth reading. Back to the full 2019 record →
I CAN NOT SEEM TO GET MY REDUCED GUARD FUNCTION AS SHOWN IN INTERNAL MEMO SSM48081 AND IN MY FACTORY FORD OWNERS MANUEL SET UP BY ANY FORD DEALERSHIP I HAVE BEEN TO. LAST NIGHT AT DINNER IT SET OFF 5 TIMES WITH MY DOG INSIDE. WAS TOLD BY ONE DEALERSHIP TO JUST NOT LOCK THE DOORS.
Reading these
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
