2013 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van XLT 4dr Minivan w/Side & Rear Glass (2.0L 4cyl 4A)

The first and last ford product and/or vehicle I will ever own. In my 40 plus years of driving I never owned a ford, and now I know why. Unfortunately at the time I was looking for this type of vehicle, no other automotive manufacturer were producing this type of vehicle and against my better judgement, and need for the type of vehicle I needed, I purchased New a 2013 Ford Transit Connect XLT. Now with only 39,425 miles I had another recurring incident with the rear window blowing out because of an electrical issue with the rear window defrosting system, this is the second time in less than two years it's happened, and ford will do nothing to help in anyway. This is only one of the many issues I've had with this vehicle. And the ford company will not help in any matter, not even a letter with an explanation, NOTHING. This in my opinion is very very terrible service and/or public relarelations. I've owned many vehicles in my time and never have I had any issue personally or with mechanical problems like I've experienced with the Ford Motor Company and/or it's dealerships. I will never ever buy or recommended anyone to purchase a ford product.

I bought this van for my appliance repair business. Had 120000 miles on it when i bought it. So far i have replaced a water hose connector and a motor mount. Myself. They made this van mechanic friendly. I had never done a motor mount and it took me a little over one hour. Also the hose connector. I now have 192000 miles and drives great.

Bought a pre-owned Transit Connect with 69k miles on it. I drove it on the highway for a year and a half regular maintenance. Only put about 30k Miles on it since I owed it all highway. Blown head gasket second it ticked over the 100k mark.
