Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems rely on fluid pressure; leaks can lead to reduced braking efficiency.

Worn brake pads or rotors

Over time, brake pads and rotors wear out, leading to decreased braking performance and potential damage to other components.

Master cylinder failure

A key component in hydraulic brake systems, the master cylinder can fail and cause a loss of hydraulic pressure, leading to brake failure.

Engine misfires

Common in 4-cylinder engines, misfires can result from faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.

Timing belt/chain issues

If the timing belt or chain fails, it can cause severe engine damage and lead to a breakdown.

Cooling system problems

Overheating issues due to a faulty radiator, thermostat, or water pump can be problematic for the Ford Transit Connect.

Transmission problems

Issues with shifting or transmission fluid leaks can occur, especially in older models.

Oxygen sensor failure

Faulty oxygen sensors can lead to poor fuel economy and increased emissions.

Electrical issues

Problems with the vehicle's electrical system, including battery, alternator, and wiring, can cause various malfunctions.

Suspension wear

Worn-out suspension components can lead to poor handling and ride comfort.
