problem #1

Oct 122016

Transit Connect XLT 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 6,253 miles

Stopped at red light in rush hour traffic with dogs in car. Car started to shake, engine failure appeared on screen along with engine light. Ford towed to dealer. Replaced throttle body. Said there is a technical bulletin out on this problem but no recall at the moment. Good thing I was only a short distance from dog training site where a friend could put my dogs in her van. Don't know what I would have done if I was traveling in another city. This is why I bought a new car -- so it would be reliable. If I continue to have problems, I will invoke the lemon law. I thought I was buying an American car but it was made in Spain.
