2012 Ford Transit Connect consumer reviews

I gave up an E350 for this. I?m an electrician and use it for work. I keep the loading light on this van. Transmission failed. Had it rebuilt for $2400. 6k miles later it?s failed again. Gets stuck in 3rd on highway. If it ever shifts past 3rd it?s in town at 30 mph when it shouldn?t. Slams into gear sometimes. I bought my first car in 1987. This is the only one to give me such transmission problems. Engineering FAIL.

These are great utilitarian vehicles. Not the most comfortable and not the fastest. That is not what this van is all about. The Model I have is the premium wagon. Its seats 5, yet still has more than enough cargo room behind the second row. With the second row folded up, there is more than enough room to transport a full sized washer and dryer in shipping boxes! The back doors fold back and the van sits low for easy loading. The van was redesigned a few years later and the head room was brought down. They turned it into a typical mini-van. It is a shame.

My van had a cage. The cage keeps the seat from reclining. The head rest was not comfortable. I hated to drive it on the interstates in Atlanta because the van had poor get up and go for merging. There is a lot of body rattle.

I used other larger mini vans for delivery and bought a Transit Connect because it was a four cylinder and cut my fuel bill almost in half. For the most part it has been very reliable but wish it was a little more rugged for the amount we drive it.

Amazing vehicle Perfect for work. Danny and al were great in assisting me with my needs thanks TAJ Auto Mall

I have a 2014 that I bought as a leftover in 2015.It's been pretty reliable up to 37k miles,but my complaint is with it's value after two years.I payed roughly $24k for it,but now after 2 years and only 37k miles,it's only worth $11k on a trade or $13k retail.If you buy one,don't plan on trading it in...

90K's/55000miles and running strong. Hauling 3-4 loads for commercial bakery 6 days a week averaging 100 miles per day. Don't overload it and it will do the job. Pleasant to drive and sipping fuel. Replaced 10 year old C1500full size and fuel savings alone pay 1/2 the monthly loan payment. Highway stability on longer runs exceptional and when in this service exposed to heavy mountain winds. Doesn't wander and enjoys 70mph/120kph at ease. Repairs? Heated mirror failed two years ago, door seal replaced at beginning Service bulletins taken care of by dealer easily. Biggest issue the upper brakelight was broken backing under an awning and water entered shorting the brakelights....circuit locks the shift lever in PARK until manually over ridden to get to dealer. Replacing blown fuses doesn't fix the problem. Replace the upper brakelight. Buy another one? Definitely

The service people at Titus Ford have been very good at servicing my TC. I go in some times without an appointment, and they handled the problem very quickly. Outstanding service.

bought 1 year old with only 7,000 miles. so far it was very reliable. haven't even changed tires or brakes yet, although it may be time for new tires with 47,000 miles on the odometer. can fit my full size bike standing in the cargo area! (with one rear seat folded - tumbled forward). Can fit many boxes, easy to park and maneuver in alleys and tight spots, great for my business and for taking my kids to school. highly recommend! Like any car, it helps to maintain it regularly (oil changes, tire rotations, etc) as well as not have multiple drivers that could break down any van quicker. This is a cute looking, great economical van.

Rebuilt from the ground up at 45,000 miles and still don't trust it to run, worst work truck ever and so much for saving on gas. This car has cost me more in a little over a year than my last car cost me in 6 years.
