Trac stuck in Park -- TSB reported ('07 V8)

[Collin Lyon]

In addition to the "kick" in my trans., for the last couple of weeks, I have been having problems with the trans. stuck in "P". I mentioned the problem this morning when I took my Trac in for my other problem.



Per the service guy, there is a TSB out on this. Something about fluid leaking out somewhere. I'd have to look it up. If someone has more detail on this, please chime in.



I just washed & waxed the Trac yesterday -- probably have to do it again when I get her back . . .



Additional -- The service guy said that the shifter had to be replaced. I first thought it was a quick adjustment, but not per the service guy.

Yeah it would be good to know about a recall for sure. I always look, but never see anything....hmmm

 

[Collin Lyon]

Well, this is under Technical Service Bulletins (I think recalls are identified differently). He only told me of this today, and I haven't looked it up to confirm.

 

[Amber Clymer]

Ahhh, ok.

 

[Chris Bacarisse]

my 07 has been doing the same thing lately.

It's as if the button on the shifter doesnt engage.

I sometimes have to push the brake pedal twice, to get our Escape out of park..

It is a switch that needs adjusting, I was told...

Ford made 2006 SportTracs?



No wonder the company is in trouble. They don't even know their own products!

 

[Shelby Crane]

It doesn't say 06 ST.



I've been arguing with NO-Courtesy Ford about this and left my Trac with them for a week to fix it. (They never did.)



Any way to find out when this TSB was released?

I have the same thing going on with mine. Just hit 12,000 miles. Planning on bringing it in sometime this week. I have noticed that if you re-step on the brake a couple times it will release. Seems to me like something with the wiring??:wacko:

13 months and 28000 miles so far on my '07 and the only thing that I had a problem with was the motor needed to be replaced. Guess I was lucky.
