Sitting at the dealership now and before they told me that it was a different seal leaking, but as I just asked the service advisor again after waiting 2-1/2 hours after they said it would be an 1-1/2 hour job, it is the left axle seal again!!! Twice in 15,000 miles and the car only has 15,000 miles on it!! Isn't there a lemon law for the same part going on it 3 times??

My car is the 2014 Transit Connect xlt. They told me it is not the same one, so I have no idea. I just know I am getting sick of it!!! Too many issues for only 15,000 miles.

Well, it happened again! I took my Van in for its 15,000 mile service and lo and behold, they found that I had another axle seal leak. I had the left seal replaced at roughly 4600 miles and on the Dan for six months and now I am at 15,385 and another axle seal is leaking and I've only had the car less than two years. What is going on with this issue? I also had to have the driver side sunvisor replaced because it would not stay up and that was happening after the first week that I had the van. I'm questioning why I purchased a Ford!! I guess it was a good thing that the dealership found the issue because the first time I found it but it's a little unsettling to have this issue happened again with a car that is so new.

Only certain VIN #s were recalled, not all of them.

I like the ride if the van. It rides smooth. I also purchased snow tires as we had a snow storm and it was not great in the snow. Thanks for the link and I will keep everyone posted. I don't have a hard shifting problem either with my van. I purchased this van to transport my disabled son and just want a vehicle that gives me peace of mind and so far with a recall and this issue, I'm a bit worried!!

I just returned from dealership to have 5000 mile service and recall for fuel line and vapor line performed on my 2014 Ford transit connect XLT wagon. Luckily, my vehicle didn't need any fuel line replacement, but they did find that my left front axle was leaking transmission fluid. They had to replace the left front axle seal and top off the fluid. Car is only six months old and has 4800 miles on it. This may end up being another recall from Ford. Anyone else having similar issues with their vehicle??

Yes, got mine and recall was performed and luckily, my vehicle was okay but they found another issue which will probably result in another recall.
