Hello,
been a while since I’ve been on the site.
interesting situation. My wife’s car is a 2020 ST with the Trac PAC. Only 24,000 miles.
Driving from Northern VA to Nags Head NC, it started shaking in the gearshift / console area. Similar to a “limp mode”. Pulled intp a McD’s parking lot. Left it running and every warning light in the world came up. Checked underneath, nothing unusual. Looked under the hood, same thing. Turned the car off for a few minutes. Started back up, engine fine but wouldn’t go into drive, neutral, reverse etc.
Sunday evening so had it towed to a local Ford dealer. They have finally diagnosed it as a “Parking Pull Rod” in the tranny. Said they have to pull the tranny and basically rebuild it. $6000 and 2weeks. They told me there is a recall coming out from Ford for this exact issue. Recall coming out in the next few weeks to a month. This would help to cover the repair cost.
Anyone else heard about this recall?
Any info would be much appreciated
thanks
