“Two recalls have been issued on my vehicle and three different Ford dealers (modesto, ca. Tracy, ca. And stockton, ca.) had refuse to service them, I do not know what to do,noise is high and disturbing and the slide is broken, I am afraid the door could open while driving. Recall 16s35 and recall 16s30 need help!!!”

NHTSA complaint #10984765, filed 2017-05, 38,000 miles

“Driver door latch failed traveling 65mph on freeway. Door swung open on a turn and would not re-latch. Ford has denied the claim. Ford is replacing the latch as it has a 'broken pawl spring'. Door will not close until entire latch is replaced. According to dealership, they've encountered this same problem on other 2014 Ford transit connects. After replacing the latch, Ford insisted the vehicle was safe to drive and gave me the keys back. I did not even leave the dealership when the latch failed again and the door would not close again.”

“Headlights aim at ground approx 30-40 ft in front of vehicle. Can not see beyond that at night. Took back to dealer and they adjusted them so now I can see about 2-3 car lengths in front of me at any speed. Dealer said they were fine even the way they were. I have had 2 close call events, one involving a pedestrian, I want this to be on record for the time when it is not just a close call and I actually hit someone. L am also reporting this to my insurance company. The dealer is autofair of manchester, nh.”

“Sensors and rearview camera start going off for no reason when in motion on a city street or highway. This has happened several times most recent is 10/18/2016. Note if vehicle is put into park. And you wait 30 seconds it will stop. But starts up again, after 20 seconds.”

NHTSA complaint #10917240, filed 2016-10, 23,000 miles

“Going 60mph heard a high pitched nose inside the front of the vehicle. Dealer thought there was a hole in the firewall. Not the case I am the first one to have this issue. Found out today after they had the vehicle for over 3 weeks that the vista window, which is on top of the vehicle, was loose and could fly off at anytime. Instant sunroof but think about the vehicles behind you that could cause a bad accident. It was determined by Ford that if you get inside the vehicle and push up on the glass and it moves then it will fly off at any time. …”
