NHTSA Complaint #11374910 — 2016 FORD FUSION

WITH NO WARNING I STARTED MY CAR AND WENT TO PUT IT IN DRIVE AND THE SHIFTER WOULD MOVE BUT NOT GO INTO GEAR. IT FELT LIKE THE SHIFTER WAS NOT ATTACHED TO ANYTHING. LUCKILY THE CAR WAS STUCK IN PARK, IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IT COULD OF RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE INJURIES. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS, CHECKED MY VIN AND IT DID NOT SHOW IT AS AN ACTIVE RECALL. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID EXACTLY WHAT I DID AND RUN THE VIN NUMBER TELLING ME MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY ONE CAR IS PART OF A RECALL BUT ANOTHER IS NOT. I HAD TO PAY FOR MY CAR TO BE TOWED AND NOW REPAIRED DUE TO FAULTY PARTS BY FORD!
