2014 Ford Transit Connect Wheels Problems

“In february I was driving on the freeway and heard a strange noise. When I got off the freeway I noticed the tire was flat. In march I was getting our of the car and a man walking by noticed I had a bubble in the side of my tire. I have had to replace 3 tires since I got this car I bought the car on 12/26/14. And have had problems with three of the original tires on the car! I only have about 2,000 miles on the car. The first 2 tires I paid to have them replaced. The third tire I am waiting to have it replaced by the company. I am using the spare and don't have a back up.”

“The transmission downshifted hard and up-shifted hard while the vehicle was in motion. The tachometer went out of control while the vehicle was in motion during city driving and upon start up. This was caused by a leak in the left front axle.”

“While driving, the speedometer dropped to zero, the car milage displayed as ------, the ABS light turned on, the traction control light turned on, and there was a warning that the hill assist was unavailable. I was driving with 4 children in the vehicle and was unable to discern if it was an actual safety issue or an electronic malfunction. We suspect a wheel speed sensor on one of the four tires has failed since an internet search shows this is the likely culprit but it hasn't yet been confirmed.”
