  1. My TC has noise was from front brakes and vibration on highway with brakes on. Service adviser from dealer suggest to bring in and check as I bought my TC 9 months ago and with mileage 24,000 Km only it should not worn out so fast. After an hour in garage the service adviser told me the front brake pads and rotors worn so bad and need new and cost me almost Can$900.00 with tax. Service adviser was surprise the pads and rotors worn out so fast. I had no choice as I need this truck everyday. Ford should provide a better quality parts and offer free upgrade to better quality as this truck is marketed as a fleet and commercial vehicle for business owners. I drove about 9 Van/trucks (GMC, Chrysler, Honda, Toyota with brakes changed at interval 45,000 to 50,000Km ) before I choose this Ford Transit Connect as it has smaller engine and room for my trade which save me on gas. But the saving on gas may not cover the brake change on every 24,000Km (or every 9 months). This may hold our plan to change our other 2 Honda Odyssey to TC. Keep your eyes on your TC brakes as it worn out so fast that even Ford Dealer service adviser feel surprise.
  2. I picked a $0.99 3/4" Grey color PVC pipe with 90 degree bend from Home Depot (or most hardware store) and slide to the bottom of the antenna base then the antenna will bent almost 90 degree (you may heat it by a heat gun and bend more angles to your need) without any radio station lost.
  3. Have you check it out? As I experiencing same leak today when it was heavy rainfall.
