We have classified the 1 complaints from 2016 Ford Transit Connect about STRUCTURE into the following categories.
Our daughter was driving our 2016 ford transit connect home on 65n right before exit 78 in nashville, tn. she was doing about 55. it was at about 10pm and thankfully there was not traffic directly behind her. the huge glass panoramic roof and sunshade came off and tore from the frame of the car leaving damage to the structure of the car. there was slight noise and my passengers informed her the glass roof and shade ripped off. this is no fault of the owner. this is a manufacture defect. the dealership said there was a prior recall 16s35 for the same model in 2014 and this is exactly what happened here. the bonding/sealant used is not holding. either ford is liable or the company that makes the bonding sealant. same thing for mercedes recall from 2002-2011. roof glass detaching from roofs of car/van.
Some driving positions might not be able to see the shift indicator or turn signal indicators. this means it may be hard to tell whether the transmission is a neutral, drive or manual position. i nearly hit a driver and a car wash because i thought the transmission was in neutral and it was in drive. there is an overhang that is too long obscuring part of the dash.
