Consumer Description

THE GEAR MARKER FOR MY 98 EXPEDITION TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO MARK INCORRECTLY. THE GEAR SHIFT CHANGER SHOWS THATS ITS IN PARK, WHEN ITS ACTUALLY IN REVERSE. IT ALSO SHOWS THAT ITS IN NEUTRUAL WHEN ITS ACTUALLY STILL IN DRIVE. THE MARKER IS OFF ITS CENTER AND HAS CAUSED ME AND MY WIFE SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS. I CALLED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER WHICH SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERD BY THE 97 RECALL, (97V171000) OF SEPT 30, 1997. I ALSO CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO RELATED THE SAME INFO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER HAD STATED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD FIX IT FOR US. MY WIFE AND I HAVE HIT SEVERAL PARKED CARS WHEN TRYING TO NEGOTIATE THE VEHILCE INTO A PARKING SPACE. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE,BUT WE WERE LUCKY. *NM
