Consumer Description

The bushing on the cable that holds the transmission gear selector cable to to the transmission gear selector bracket on the transmission housing broke and left the truck unable to be shifted in or out of gear using the lever on the steering column. The only way to move the vehicle was to crawl under the vehicle and manually move the gear shift selector to the desired gear. I was able to drive it to a Ford dealer for immediate repair. There were no warning signs and the truck was operating with no problems/issues prior to this incident. The truck is a 2016 model and I am the original owner. The truck had 62982 miles on it when the incident occurred. I feel this is a safety issue because this would prevent the vehicle from being put in park if it broke when being put in drive and could cause the vehicle to roll into something or onto someone
