While driving on the freeway, the customer experienced a power train failure, which resulted in the vehicle stopping. Though the vehicle was able to continue driving, it would unpredictably jump gears and eventually became immobile. The "service engine" wrench light first appeared on [XXX], signaling the issue. The vehicle was inspected by Curt Service in Oak Park, Michigan, and no additional codes were identified beyond the service engine wrench light. The power train system is available for inspection upon request. This situation posed a safety risk to the driver and others on the road, as the vehicle's sudden stop and gear issues could have led to an accident.

My vehicle, a 2021 Ford Explorer ST, still hasn't had NHTSA Safety Recall 23V675 repaired. Even though the parts for the repair have been available to the Dealer for almost a year or more, they can't do the repair because they don't have the special tools required for the repair. The Ford Motor Corporation hasn't provided the Dealership with the tools. I've checked other Ford Dealerships in my area and they too say that they don't have the tools needed to do the repair and they can't get them from Ford Motors. I've called Ford Motors to complain and they tell me it's the Dealerships problem as the parts are available to the Dealerships. I've asked to speak to management but they won't let me. So, over a year has gone by and still no tools have been sent to my Dealership, Chuck Stevens Ford in Bay Minette, Alabama.

I had my car towed to mechanic because transmission would go into park. He ran a diagnostic and found multiple codes (mechanics Bill and list of codes he found will be included) relating to transmission. He searched on a data base he uses Shopkey.pro(copy of recall will be included) to check on recalls. He requested I have car towed to Dealership. I did that and the dealer has a letter about the recall(also included) showing the recall. My car falls in all the parameters of this recall. The vehicle year, the assembly plant and the build date as well as the 2.3L engine and a 10R60 transmission. The dealer says my vin number doesn't fall under this warranty and he doesn't understand why. He said I fit all parameters and Im experiencing all the reasons listed for this recall. Most importantly car can roll in park which is safety. It also had on occasions loss of motive power while driving. These are all reasons listed for this safety recall and as the dealership I am lost as to why the NHTSA and ford doesn't have my VIN included in this saftety recall, . I would like you to review this complaint and hopefully understand my vehicle should be included in this safety recall. There are numerous safety concerns with everything wrong. Please take careful consideration of all that I submitted and properly add this vehicle..2 safety Warnings messages I received are transmission not in park and please apply emergency brake before exiting the vehicle.
