 I was very excited about ford bringing this newer style of Transit to the US. It perfectly fit my needs for a work vehicle that could also double as a passenger vehicle when needed. Initially everything was great, but over time, the amount of little things breaking is incredible and Fords attitude about the warranty and what it covered was phenomenally disappointing. As with many reviews I've read, the problems began when the plastic drivers seat valance completed broke off under 30,000 miles and I was told at 2 separate dealerships that Fords warranty does not cover their poorly designed parts and its my fault for breaking it. meanwhile, this part is in your way every time you enter or exit the vehicle and is bound to break. Next my rubber rain guards on the sliding doors fell off at 31,000mi,  since ford sprung for double sided tape from a craft store to mount them. 1000mi later, my rear passenger seat gets stuck down, turns out that ford used plastic parts for the seat release mechanism which broke due to cold weather, and the replacement parts was (entire new rear seat) was quoted as $1500 plus labor at the dealership. Never again will I consider buying a Ford vehicle again, what a joke.
