general problems of the 2010 Ford Transit Connect

After placing vehicle in park, vehicle rolled away and destroyed my mailbox. Luckily I was able to stop it inches away from neighbors car. There is a recall for other years, but none for this year. The vehicle has not been inspected by a dealer yet, however, after talking to the dealership service department, it is a common problem and would cost a lot to repair.

Vehicle was involved a traffic accident on July 16,2018 and a contributing was a worn brake system by my employer's vehicle. The brake system needed repairs and it was brought supervisions attention on several occasions. I was terminated because of their vehicle being unsafe. The company that owns this vehicle is iocafano's catering service at 1739 sam rittenberg blvd. The vehicle was traveling toward I-95 headed to savannah georgia for a food delivery when it was involved in a rear end collison.

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.
