NHTSA Complaint #10137420 — 1999 FORD CONTOUR

I INADVERTENTLY FOUND THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO ROTATE THE IGNITION KEY IN MY CAR TO THE LOCK POSITION AND REMOVE THE KEY WITHOUT HAVING THE GEAR IN PARK AND JUST HAVING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. AS I RELEASED THE BRAKE, MY CAR ROLLED A FEW FEET INTO MY GARAGE AND I REALIZED THE CAR WAS NOT IN PARK. THERE WERE NO DAMAGES. I CONTACTED MY REPAIR SHOP ABOUT THE IGNITION ISSUE. THEY INFORMED THERE WAS AN OLD RECALL ON MY VEHICLES' MAKE/MODEL. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND LOCATED NHTSA'S INFORMATION AS IT RELATES TO CAMPAIGN 99V060000. I CONTACTED FOR. THEY INFORMED ME MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF A RECALL, THAT THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION WHETHER MY CAR'S MAKE/MODEL HAD EVER BEEN IN A RECALL AND THAT NO ON IN THE ENTIRE FORD MOTOR COMPANY COULD TELL ME, NOR DID THEY HAVE ANY REFERRAL SITES FOR ME TO FIND THIS INFORMATION. I STILL NEED TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. *NM
