When I put my TC in park at work this morning it rolled forward. I found it odd so put the vehicle in reverse, applied the brake, put it in park, released the brake, and it again rolled. I applied the parking brake, opened the door and put my left foot on the ground to try to roll it myself. Although I was satisfied it would stay put with the parking brake applied, I moved to a parking space at the outside edge of the lot with a slight down-grade and a curb, and parked with the rear tires against the curb and applied the brake. When I arrived at my desk I did an internet search about this new problem and came across information about a recall for this problem in Ford Transit Connects, however my year is not included. This worries me as I now have a known problem but cannot get it fixed under recall because owners in my vehicle's age group apparently have not experienced this or just figured it was too expensive to fix, or do not keep there vehicle as long as I have. Is there any way to remedy this" My husband and I bought this vehicle new in 2010 and have had very few problems with it, and to now have this major problem that is known with others is troubling. How many more are out there with this same problem"

It was April 2016 when my car started running erratically (lose power, add power) and I instantly took it in. It was diagnosed with "rusty" plugs and coil; replaced for $845 and at 33,310 miles. Next time I drove it, rough, and high then low power. It "drove" itself, surging at a high rate of speed, then stalling. Very scary. The dealer's diagnosis? the windshield washer nozzle gaskets had not been installed, so they "leaked" downhill onto the engine. Apparently, Ford knew or came to know this was a problem with many tcs, but they chose not to inform buyers. The gaskets cost $69.50. Without this knowledge and having improperly installed gaskets, I paid $845.15 plus $971.13. At 33,402 miles. Yes it ticks me off; I am a disabled senior and I need this car for my dogs and my disability scooter. Boo on Ford. And indeed, when I was pointed uphill parking in a parking lot, my car surged - headed straight for a car. Thank goodness I was headed uphill and was able to stop the vehicle... after having paid $845.15 before realizing the problem was not fixed and adding the additional $971.13 beginning the next day. (if anyone needs them I can take docs to store to scan and upload.)

My initial problem was traction control. If you slip coming out of a driveway and you hit gravel, mud, snow, rain your traction control will stop you in the middle of the street and you cannot drive. Kind of a problem with cars coming right at you. Problem 2 is that this seems to also affect the wheel bearings and cause premature failure. I am going on my second replacement at 72,000 miles. Problem 3 is that when the wheel bearings fail they wear on your rotors and I am now also needing to replace those also. I certainly hope that this gets addressed soon. This vehicle is not only a safety hazard it is also a money pit.

The contact owns a 2007 Ford Transit connect. The contact stated that the transmission downshifted into second gear while driving at 65 mph. The contact also stated that the RPM increased, the vehicle jerked, and became difficult to control. The vehicle was restarted and resumed normal function. The failure was experienced numerous times and was taken to the dealer where the throttle body and accelerator relay was replaced and the engine was rebuilt but the failure was not corrected. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 56,000 and the current mileage was 79,645.
