Consumer Description

I PARKED MY CAR AT A RESTAURANT, COUPLE HOURS LATER IT WOULDN'T START BECAUSE IT SAID CAR IN GEAR ON THE DASHBOARD. EVEN IF IT WAS IN PARK THE CAR SAID STILL IN GEAR CAN'T START. I HAD TO TOW IT TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIPS AND THEY SAID THE SHIFTER CABLE WAS BROKEN AFTER 3 DAYS. EVEN UNDER 49,000 MILES THEY MENTIONED IT WASN'T COVERED BY THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY SO I HAD TO PAY $940.60 FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR OUT OF POCKET.
