This is fixed but I believe only in a newer model (Um3 or S5). After the UM2+ there was the UM3, S5, then S3, then UM2+C and they are due for a new printer any time one would think. There's no backward compatible "new print bed" that even comes close to fitting the UM2. As far as I know. Y
For the $, the UM2 and UM2+ are quite reliable. I also had to resolder the connector on my UM2 print bed. But only once ever. I also have 3 UM2go's but those don't normally come with bed heater so I have my own custom solution for those heaters so they don't count.
I have found that the UM2 is very reliable. I have seen some amazingly well worn UM2 printers that have had 5 kilometers (kilometers!) of filament pass through them that still work just fine.
The teflon part also needs to be replaced often. That is consider a "consumable" and Ultimaker graciously charges very little over cost for those.
It looks like you are in USA so I would contact support@fbrc8.com. They have extremely qualified staff and can tell you if there is a newer connector or whatever. Include your serial number in the email and they can see exactly what you got. They assembled all the UM printers sole in USA so they built your printer.

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
