2019 Ford Transit Connect consumer reviews

Transmissions on these trucks last about 80,000 miles and parts are impossible to get and dealers want to rob you to put in the transmission.

My biggest peeve is the tailgate isn’t powered. Ordered the top of the line mr Model sight unseen because my dealership didn’t carry them. I wanted all the bells and whistles. Powered lift gate isn’t an option. It is painful to my injured spine to lift it and manually move the rear seats. The grandkids love the 3rd seat and I love the storage space behind it. I have made a Sam’s run for the month and able to pack everything behind the 3rd seat. The inside is great for human comfort but not for shopping or I should say storing packages. To be honest, my front seats are ALL THE WAY back. I have plenty of room and that’s a lot. I don’t like being close to the steering wheel in case of an accident. I wish the slots for charging my devices weren’t so close to the driver’s cup holder. It’s too easy for liquids to Spill in them. The only other item I wish was different is I miss a hard copy manual. There are options I still don’t know how to use. My GPS is not updated because of that. I like the van. My grandkids and dogs like it. Tomorrow I will get up, remove the two blankets I have protecting them floors and spend hours vacuuming the dog hair out the fabric on the back of the seats and floors. I have leather seats but there’s still Too much surface that holds onto my Husky’s and Belgian Shepherd’s ‘Glitter’. I do have to double check my doors are locked when I leave them in the car with the AC running. I have to use the remote because the double tap of the horn alert is deceiving. It doesn’t mean the door is locked. I do appreciate how easy it is to unlock the car without having the remote in my hand. All in all, it served the reasons I purchased it. I do wish I had paid the extra money for the Sprinter. But it would not have fit in my garage nor my budget.

I've own one at sayville ford brand new transmission burnt out at 52,000 miles start stop switch is defective the van has hesitation at 140,000 miles car kept shutting off while driving changed alot of sensors didn't help tow truck driver said maybe a defective temperature gauge because it will swing up to (H) but the van never ran hot I was getting stuck for week after week no one new what was doing it maybe a bad computer I've repossed it what a waste and all the car rentals ford didn't want to pay for the van lunges while picking up high way speed

The day I received my vehicle, I noticed a vibration in the steering wheel. The dealership was contacted and I took the van to them to assess the problem. I was assured that it was the tires. Three sets of new tires later, the repair shop said they didn’t know what the problem was. I took the van to another dealership per Ford Customer Care and they could feel the vibration but could not find the cause. I was then told that it didn’t meet the specifications for a vibration issue. They couldn’t provide the specs to me. I drove the vehicle for the next year and then had the transmission go out. It has been rebuilt three times and eight months later I still haven’t received my vehicle and neither the dealership nor Ford has any idea on when I will get my vehicle or if it is even repairable. There’s nothing like being left in the dark with Ford.

would never recommend buying one the transmission does not know what gear it should be in. to maintain 70 mph on a 6% grade the engine rpm is at 5400 , fuel millage is out the window at that rpm also when the engine is cold the throttle touchy and the van lurches. dealer says it checks out ok . the stop run also is a pain in the @#$%

We really like the transit, we didn't want too many bells and whistles and the XLT offered all that we needed. Keeps the price down a little and we really like the styling. Lots of head room. Back seats look a little stiff for long trips but we haven't tried them yet. Like the styling and we are looking for some aftermarket wheels to make it unique.

This vehicle was purchased as a Handicapped/Wheelchair lifestyle transportation platform, and it has exceeded my expectations for ease of entry/exit, comfort, safety and reliability. I had the Third Row of seats removed, and installed a [Bruno] Electric Wheelchair Lift device for my "Scooter." The ENHANCED PERSONAL MOBILITY satisfaction of this 2019 Ford Transit Connect 'Titanium' makes it the best vehicle I've ever owned.

We had the van for 7,000 miles. Overall be I am very satisfied with it. A couple of issues I have is it's stiff ride. On a bumpy road it can be pretty rough. Rear seat comfort is fair. I love the gas mileage. So far I have got as high as 31 on a trip. To remove the rear seats you must unbolt them using a special star type bit. If they softened the rear suspension and made the rear seats more comfortable and easier to remove, it would just about perfect.

This is a service truck that I use for my business., but my last one from ford , the drivers seat are uncomfortable and the transmission shifts wrong and the reverse gear not engaged wen the truck are on unlevel road, this truck is lemon law prospect

This 2019 Transit Connect is great for courier work and hauling packages. We have the long wheel base and love the room it affords. However, the backup camera has an unclear picture when vehicle is put in reverse. Sometimes it clears up by the time you are done backing up. Its annoying. Dealer tells us that is normal??
