Consumer Description

I PARKED IN A PARKING SPACE AT THE GROCERY STORE AND STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS ALMOST HITTING A CUSTOMER WALKING! I WAS IN PARK, BUT THE DASHBOARD SAID I WAS IN REVERSE! WHAT THE HECK? HOW DANGEROUS IS THIS! I COULD NOT MOVE THE SHIFTER OR TURN THE CAR OFF. I HAD TO WAIT HOURS FOR A TOW TRUCK. I'M SO GLAD THAT I DID NOT ROLL BACK AND HIT SOMEONE OR SOMETHING. THIS IS A VERY CONCERNING SAFETY ISSUE AND I TRUST THAT MY LOCAL FORD DEALER WILL TAKE CARE OF IT, NO QUESTIONS ASKED, SO THAT I CAN GET MY CAR BACK AND GET TO WORK.
