FORD TRANSIT CONNECT 2011 car safety problem was reported on Mar 14, 2014.FORD TRANSIT CONNECT 2011, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VISIBILITY/WIPER . driving on highway i-95 on a rainy night the windshield wiper on the driver's side went off the windshield and got stuck on the driver's side rear view mirror. extremely poor visibility! lucky that there was no accident. was in familiar territory, so i pulled off into highway service area and moved the arm back onto the windshield. proceeded to continue home, but driver's side arm malfunctioned twice more in less than 5 miles. ford dealer from whom i purchased the vehicle gave me a morning appointment, and tightened the mechanism. they did not charge me other tthan for the oil change 'upsell'. but they said that they did not know anything about a recall and would not technically put this in the system as a warranty claim, because it had been a rough winter and perhaps the mechanism had been damaged while cleanng off ice or other winter wear and tear. i do not think that i ever got a recall notice about this problem. i am not happy with the dealer's explanation especially in light of the fact that a recall does exist. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 18000 miles.
