Consumer Description

GEAR SHIFT IN MY 2002 FORD EXPLORER BROKE OFF WHILE TRYING TO PUT MY CAR IN GEAR. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY THE LOCAL DEALER THAT THE PART IS PART OF THE STEERING COLUMN AND IT WOULD COST APPROX. $1200.00 TO REPLACE. THE PART THAT BROKE IS MADE OF ALUMINUM AND IS ONLY ABOUT 4-5 INCHES LONG. THIS WAS A DANGER TO ME BECAUSE MY DRIVEWAY IS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. IN ADDITION IF THE VEHICLE WENT INTO REVERSE, I COULD OF HAD CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE AND HOW WOULD I PUT THE VEHICLE BACK IN PARK? *TR
