I shudder when I have to leave the house before dawn. The headlight are focused on the ground about 100 feet ahead. At this time there are joggers on the road and unless they have a light I cannot see them until I am right on them. Usually I drive in the middle of the street and pray. I have checked and there is no provision made for adjusting the headlights.

I bought this van for the business, using it to haul cargo, and it is the worst piece of crap I have ever owned. I am absolutely fed up with it. I have older Toyota vans with higher mileage that I am intending to keep longer than this POS which I will trade in at the first opportunity. at only 50k mi, I had to dump $4,000 into it for a new ABS computer and a new alternator. when the hell do you ever have to replace an ABS computer in a car these days? when the hell? I've never had one of those go out until this POS. and an alternator with only 50K miles? what else is going to go out? nothing will surprise me at this point. The rear view camera? who knows! it'll be something!

Ford Transit Connect Titanium keeps breaking

First, the throttle body had to be replaced due to a recall. Then it wouldn't shift correctly due to transmission fluid leaking so the dealership had to change out the gasket. Now the radio won't turn on and it's no longer under warranty because my car has 36k miles. All this within one year of ownership on a car less than two years old. I've never had these issues with my Japanese cars. Took a chance on this Ford because of the price and interior space. No surprise, Ford won't do anything about it. Numerous reports online regarding Ford Radios not powering on, but Ford won't fix it. Big surprise there. Terrible decision on my part to buy this car. No more Fords for me!!!
