NHTSA Complaint #11440157 — 2021 FORD MUSTANG MACH E

Second time in less than two weeks: Vehicle started making grinding noise, and a warning came up on the screen SHIFT SYSTEM FAULT, service soon. But the car came to a halt a hundred feet later, then would not get in or out of any gear, parking brake could not be released, vehicle could not get into Neutral so not able to push or roll it. I was barely able to get out of an intersection today (Nov 11), and rolled into a parking area on Oct 30 with the same fault. After about a half hour, vehicle could be moved but would show the fault shortly afterwards, locked up. Vehicle was towed on Oct 31 to dealership, they checked fault codes, performed some software updates and test drove 4 miles. They returned the car. Today, same thing happened. Car was at an intersection. Called AAA and still waiting for them to schedule a tow truck (required wheel lift and dolly). Fortunately I was on back roads today but this is a serious problem which would have been much worse on a highway. Car is not drivable. Again, this is the second time in two weeks!
