NHTSA Complaint #11372673 — 2016 FORD ESCAPE

THE TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK IS SHOWING AND WHAT HAPPENS IS MY CAR TENDS TO GO FORWARD IF I PUT IT IN REVERSE AND GO IN REVERSE WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE BUT IT ALSO GO FORWARD WHENEVER I FIRST TURN MY CAR ON THAT ALL HAPPENS WHEN I CHANGE GEARS TO PROCEED TO DRIVE. MY CAR ALSO STAYS IN 3RD AND 4TH YEAR WHEN I DRIVE THE RPM GOES UP REALLY HIGH EVEN IF I'M JUST GOING 20MPH. IF I DO DRIVE MY CAR AT TIMES IT WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN SLOW DOWN AND STOP MOVING SO I HAVE TO PULL OVER TURN OFF MY CAR WAIT A BIT AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON AND THEN IT'S GOOD TO GO FOR A FEW MILES AND MY CAR UNEXPECTEDLY WILL MOVE FOR EXAMPLE I WILL BE IN PARK ABOUT TO CHANGE GEARS INTO REVERSE AND MY CAR WILL GO FORWARD I HAVE TO SLAM ON BREAKS SO I DON'T CRASH IT DOES THIS EVEN IF I AM PARKED AND I PUT MY CAR INTO DRIVE MY CAR WILL GO INTO REVERSE THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I WAS AT THE GROCERY STORE.
