Purchased Transit Connect in 2014 off of 3 year lease from Ford Dealer. Car had 53,000 mileson it. On First major trip over Mountain Pass, Shift downs were very severe. Took auto to Ford Dealer, cancelled trip, 1st Dealer unable to look at car for more then 6 days? Took to better Dealer in Oakdale after Limping it 80 miles home. They reprogrammed shifting, but it did the same very hard down shifts , afraid of breaking engine mounts or transmission.
Took back to Dealer, no difference. Was always worried about transmission after that. Drove car less harsh , for 3 years, then noted funny up shifting. after several days, noted smell and perceived slippage in 4th. Drove with OD locked out. a couple days later, slipping in 3rd and 4th could go no faster then 40 mph. engine lights, codes appeared, took to Transmission shop. Transmission replaced. Not Under Warranty, but later, have noticed many, many, 2010 to 2013 Transit connects in Used car lots, wondered why?
