Column shifter does not lock.
Hopefully someone has an easy solution. I have a 2012 F150 screw xlt ecoboost with a column shifter. It does not lock out when the car is parked and key removed.
I bought the truck used and didn't give it much thought considering everything is electronic these days. Then this weekend my 2 year old was sitting in the front seat while I was loading my bicycle on the back and the truck rolled forward a little. Needless to say, It just became priority number one to get fixed.

I didn't find any recalls or service bulletins pertaining to my problem. I have had the truck for two months and I need to decide if I am going to take it to the dealer I purchased the truck from and see if they would fix it at their cost which is probably a long shot or just bite the bullet and take it to the local dealer. I was not impressed with the service I got from the dealer I bought the truck from.

I changed out the switch on the pedal because it was easy. Unfortunately, it didn't fix the issue. I called Ford and spoke with a customer service rep. Unfortunately, there is not a recall for my truck. I did find a NHTSA recall that describes my issue to a T but it only includes manufacture dates between Sept. 11,2011 and Sept. 22,2011. My truck was manufactured Dec. 7,2011. Needless to say the CS recommended I contact the dealership I bought the truck from and see if they would help me out.
I called the dealership and spoke with the sales manager. He agreed it was a safety issue that needs to be dealt with and said he would cover the diagnosis and once a solution is determined, work something out with me. I was satisfied with that. I set up an appointment with the service department. We'll see how it goes from here.
