Is 26 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2012 and 2026, roughly 2 a year, which is fewer than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
How does it compare with other years? The 2012 has 26 complaints on file, more than the 2011 (24) and fewer than the 2013 (32). Of the 11 model years of the Ford Transit Connect we cover, the 2014 has the most (127). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
