What Happened
The shift lever bolt in your Escape's transmission connects the shift lever to the transmission. In some cases, this bolt might not be tightened correctly, which can cause the shift lever to come loose.
Risk if Unfixed
If the shift lever comes loose while you're driving, you might not be able to shift gears. When you try to park, the gear indicator might say 'PARK', but the transmission might not actually be in 'PARK'. This means the vehicle could roll away, putting you and others at risk of injury.
Free Fix
Your Ford dealer will check the transmission and either tighten the bolt or replace the shift lever assembly – all for free. You'll get a notification with the schedule for the repair.
