2010 Ford Transit Connect Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“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.

“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. …”
