Keep getting intermittent shift to park message on shutdown, Problem is getting quite frequent, is this just a shifter position adjustment or a computer issue. any ideas?
The problem is a known fault with a switch on the shifter assembly. There is a TSB about it but no recall. The solution is to replace the shifter assembly as the switch cannot be replaced independently. It is a warranty item if you still have a warranty. If not, it runs $400 -$500 at the dealership.
Shifter assembly replaced, warranty is over but the good news was Ford and the dealer helped with an after warranty adjustment which helped keep the cost down. I guess because of the TSB and that I purchased new from the dealer.
Good to hear that they stepped up and helped. Too often I read about dealers who don't perform on this forum and others. My experience is usually pretty good so far as well as in the past. Glad you got it fixed!
