What Happened
Your vehicle's transmission has a problem with a safety switch that prevents it from staying in park. This switch is called the brake shift interlock switch.
Risk if Unfixed
If this isn't fixed, you could accidentally shift your vehicle into gear without pressing the brake pedal, which increases the risk of a crash or injury to a pedestrian.
Free Fix
You'll get a free repair where a Ford dealer will inspect the switch and replace it if necessary. This will be done at no cost to you.
