Fusion

  • 41,000 miles
I was driving car into a parking stall. Stopped, put car in P, turned off engine and release the foot brake...and the car started rolling forward. Applying the foot brake stopped the rolling, however, when I tried to start the car to back it up, the error message read (something like) "transmission not in park, cannot start car". the shifter was clearly in park, so I jiggled it without any success. The car would not start or come out of P (on the shifter). When the emergency roadside assistance from geico got to the car, it was determined that the transmission linkage had failed. They were able to zip tie the connection, so I could take it to a repair shop (where it is right now). It appears that this linkage piece is definitely a "weak link" in a critical system. No accident, but very much a serious problem. The car has about 41,000 miles on it.
