AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A RETAIL PARKING LOT, I COULD NOT SHIFT INTO PARK. IT FELT AS THOUGH THE SHIFT LEVER HAD BECOME UNATTACHED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF WHILE IN DRIVE AND APPLIED THE PARKING BRAKE. INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE BRACKET THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE TRANSMISSION TO HOLD THE SHIFT CABLE TO ALLOW SHIFTING OF THE TRANSMISSION, BROKE AWAY FROM THE TRANSMISSION THREADED MOUNTING BOSSES. THE ALUMINUM THREADED MOUNTING BOSSES CRUMBLED WITH SEVERAL PIECES FALLING TO THE GROUND. THE INABILITY OF PLACING THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK ESPECIALLY AT A TIME OF URGENCY IS OF GREAT CONCERN TO ME. A REPAIR OPTION SHORT OF REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION HAS NOT YET BEEN DISCOVERED. SEVERAL FORD DEALERS SAID THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH AN ISSUE. MY MECHANIC WHO IS TRYING TO DEVELOP A MAKE-SHIFT BRACKET STATED HE HAS SEEN MANY CASES ON WEB SITES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR STATIONS. ONE GOOGLE SEARCH ON FORD TRUCK FORUM SHOWED AN IDENTICAL PROBLEM SUCH AS MINE. THANK YOU *TR

FORD F250 WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. CONSUMER STATED THAT HE IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED AND DISPLEASED WITH THE BUSINESS PRACTICES OF DEALER**CC THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT OPERATE IN REVERSE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM THEREFORE THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER. THAT DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY THE CONSUMER TOOK IT BACK TO THE SALES DEALER. THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF AFTER MARKET ALTERATIONS. ALL ALTERATIONS WERE MADE PRIOR TO THE CONSUMER ACQUIRING THE VEHICLE. *NM

ON TWO OCCASIONS, I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK IN PARK AND THE KEYS REMOVED AND THE TRUCK ROLLED. IT WAS NOT FULLY IN PARK. I WAS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE BOTH TIMES, ONCE FACING FORWARD AND ONCE BACKED IN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AFTER THE FIRST TIME AND THEY ADJUSTED THE SHIFTER. I NOW HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK IN SINCE IT DID IT AGAIN.
