I am writing to report a serious safety concern involving our 2023 Ford Transit Connect (VIN [XXX]) van that resulted in an unintended vehicle movement and collision. While the incident resulted in only minor property damage and a minor injury, we believe the circumstances warrant review due to the potential for a much more severe outcome. The vehicle had been exhibiting operational issues prior to the incident. Employees reported that it was running and shifting noticeably rough and, after being parked, would not move when placed in either Drive or Reverse. The engine RPM would increase to approximately 2,000 RPM with throttle input but the vehicle remained stationary. The following witness statements document the sequence of events: Witness #1: [XXX] started the van to verify whether the issue from the previous day remained. The van still would not move. He placed the transmission in Neutral, turned the engine off, and we were able to push the van by hand. Based on this, he concluded the brakes were not preventing the vehicle from moving. He then reached into the van and restarted the engine. Immediately upon startup, the van accelerated forward unexpectedly at a high rate of speed, jumped the curb, and struck the hangar wall. [XXX] attempted to stop the vehicle, and I also attempted to intervene, but the event occurred so quickly that neither of us was able to prevent the collision. Witness #2: I went to the van to diagnose the reported issue. I had been informed the van had been running and shifting roughly before it was parked and would no longer move afterward. I started the vehicle while it was in Park and attempted to engage both Reverse and Drive, confirming that it would not move. The engine RPM increased to approximately 2,000 RPM with throttle input and remained elevated. I then shut the engine off and placed the transmission in Neutral with the ignition in the Run position to determine whether the vehicle would roll. It rolled f INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
The factory windshield is loose/improperly bonded causing MOLD. This problem was found when i first bought the only four year old vehicle because of a musty/moldy smell. On the way home from the dealership it happened to storm and there were a few raindrops coming in at the top center of the windshield. I also had terrible allergy symptoms and headaches after only a few minutes of driving. I peeked under part of the vinyl floor and discovered major water and mold issues. I took it to my local Ford dealership who confirmed the windshield was likely the culprit as it was very loose. I researched this online and found an auto leak specialist demonstrating this same make/year/model van that the windshield could be easily moved simply by pushing lightly on the glass from inside the cabin, showing a bonding issue. This was the case on my van as well. This is the same issue that there WAS a recall for on the previous model (there just isn't one for this model yet) The damage was extensive and very dangerous for people like me who are sensitive to mold and can cause respiratory issues. I removed the seats and floor. There was approximately half gallon of water under the vinyl floor and mold everywhere. the vinyl floor conceals the water as it is waterproof. I spent well over a week on mold mitigation with drying/contaminated part removal/disinfecting. The insulation in the footwell was soaked and full of mold as well as the open cell foam on the underside of the vinyl. The metal body parts also had mold. I reached out to Ford Customer Care who claimed there's nothing they could do to help because there are no recalls for this model. I have to pay for everything myself. The windshield was confirmed by an auto glass specialist to have been factory and an original factory bead of sealant. They also confirmed it was a bonding issue, They were able to detach and reset it PROPERLY for $424. I still have to replace the insulation and entire vinyl floor.

The transmission hasn't been working correctly for the last 2 years. It was constantly shifting incorrectly, lagging, stuttering, and making driving difficult. It finally just stopped in the middle of traffic and would not move. It threw a diagnostic code of P0751, which we learned was related to a known issue with the vehicle, TSB 25-2550. The vehicle is now not drivable and had to be towed back home.
