Consumer Description

2002 FORD EXPLORER XLT, 79,409 MILES, PLACING CAR INTO PARK FROM DRIVE AND THE GEAR SHIFT BREAKS OFF IN MY HAND. THE TRANSMISSION IS NOW BETWEEN REVERSE AND PARK WITH NO WAY OF ME BEING ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF. I USED THE EMERGENCY BREAK SO THAT IT WOULD NOT ROLL OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT (BECAUSE OF COURSE I WAS ON AN INCLINE) AND THE CAR RAN FOR ONE HOUR AND TWENTY MINUTES BEFORE IT GOT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WERE ABLE TO TURN IT OFF. IT IS COSTING $1000.00 TO FIX. I FOUND OUT THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. NOT FROM MY DEALER WHO SAID THEY HAVE SEEN NOTHING LIKE THIS BUT FROM CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. *TR
