Hello hello!

 

Just hit 60,000 miles on my lightly driven 2015 Ford Transit Connect XLT 2.5L. Still love her more today than yesterday! She has been brought in for every update, recall and service 'till the bumper to bumper 36,000 I believe. Now I routinely do my own servicing fluids filters etc. 

However my poor girl has suddenly begun falling apart. First two weeks ago, the driver's side door latch went limp. Acting like the spring or the catch tab for it internally has broken off. Will not latch shut manually electrically or flipping it back or forth with a screwdriver. I need to get a manual something better than All Data Perhaps? Youtuber gave up 1/2 through the replacement. Broke clips etc... made an appointment with my dealership for Monday. Also I see a post here about Overheating issues? Mine had one yesterday, no problems previously. See my full report in the 2015 year section of posts.

Rear winsdield wipers still don't like hot weather do fine in sub 60' ambient. See my Rear window wiper post in the same 2015 forum.

There was a Recall on several years of TC's for this problem Yours could be a recall. 

If you get a shop Manual  the process is pretty straight forward.  If you do it with the door on although harder it leaves the door adjustment untouched .

Please let us know what happened.
