2012 Ford Transit Connect Owner Comments

Transit Connect

  • 113,214 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

Twice in 113,214 miles the throttle body has failed at speed. This is a sudden loss of power anywhere, anytime day or night--just out of power and scrambling for a safe place to stop. The first failure was with 36,366 miles in a snow storm. The second failure was in traffic on the freeway. No notification from Ford that this is a known problem has been forthcoming. The replacement part Ford installed the first time was also bad and has failed at 113,214 miles. This is a dangerous failure, going from 65 mph to 5 mph in moments. There's confusion, panic to get the emergency lights on, and a struggle to get out of the way.
