Vehicle pulled in to park but it thinks it is in reverse, would not start this is the 2nd one of our fleet in 2 days that has the same issue, there must be a recall for this year and this shifter/cable issue, they want to charge us for both of these and I do not feel the same issue a day apart is possible coinsidence.

Vehicle was placed in park but thought it was in another gear neutral and therefore the vehicle rolls and the only way to keep still is to place emergency brake on.

Pulled into a parking space at son's school, turned off the engine. Waited for my son. Then car would not start. Display was saying I was in reverse. But, the shifter was in the park position. I was able to access the interlock override under the shifter, and move the shifter into all gears, but car continued to display reverse position and engine would not start. Tow company came and lifted the hood and noticed immediately the shift cable was completely detached. Had vehicle towed to my Ford dealership service department.

The transmission shift linkage separated from the housing due to a bushing failure. It showed in park, but the car rolled and the emergency brake was required. The car was parked in the driveway at the time.
- Jackson, TN, USA
The vehicle rolled when the shift lever was placed into park position. The driver had parked the vehicle. The shift lever bushing had become detached from the shift lever on the transmission. This is the same problem that has been the subject of a recall for Ford Fusion and Ford escape vehicles. This also happened on another of our 2015 Ford Transit connect vehicles.
