Consumer Description
I DROVE TO A DAIRY QUEEN PARKED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE, PUT THE CAR IN PARK. AS I STARTED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IT STARTED TO ROLL BACK, I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THE CAR WAS IN PARK WHICH IT WAS. I THEN PUT ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE CAR TO LEAVE. I COULD NOT START THE CAR, THE SHIFTER WAS LOCKED IN PARK BUT THE INDICATOR ON THE DASH SHOWED IT WAS IN REVERSE, ALSO THE BACK UP CAMERA WAS ON. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO KLABEN FORD IN KENT OHIO, WHERE THE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING WAS FOUND TO BE BROKEN. KLABEN INSTALLED A NEW BUSHING. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS TO FIND FORD HAD RECALLED SOME MODELS BETWEEN 2013 AND 2016 FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT NOT THIS CAR. I SUSPECT THERE ARE STILL SOME BAD BUSHINGS OUT THERE. I SEE THIS AS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS INVESTIGATION. THANK YOU
