Transit Connect 4-cyl

  • 6,000 miles
The Ford 2014 interior dashboard lighting is always on, and very often at night due to this condition I forget to turn on my driving lights, making for a hazardous situation. Because the instruments (speedometer, tachometer, fuel and temp gauge) are nested in deep bezels Ford had to illuminate them during the day to make them visible in daylight. Ford Transit connect without auto-headlights have this unsafe condition that fools the driver into thinking that the headlights are on at night when in fact they are not.
