2014 Ford Edge Power Train

WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK IT DOES NOT REGISTER THE PARK POSITION. AFTER TURNING IT OFF IT PULLED FORWARD, BUT NORMALLY IT WILL STAY PARKED. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE PARK NOT ENGAGING, BUT IT IS BIGGER THAN 5 MB. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS, WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP.

THE POWER TRAIN MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING AROUND 75 MPH AND ON 3 LANES OF HEAVY MORNING COMMUTE TRAFFIC. WHEN THE POWER TRAIN LIGHT CAME ON, I LOST THE ABILITY TO USE THE GAS AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE. I DID HAVE THE ABILITY TO BRAKE. I HAD TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD QUICKLY DESPITE THE HEAVY TRAFFIC. I STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. ONCE TURNING OFF AND ON, THE POWER TRAIN LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN. THE CAUSE OF THE FAULT IN UNKNOWN.

I HAVE INFREQUENT LINKAGE CONCERNS WHILE TRAVELING AT SLOWER SPEEDS USUALLY IN PARKING LOT TYPE TRAFFIC WHERE BRAKING AND LIGHT ACCELERATION ARE CONSTANT. AFTER COASTING, IN DRIVE, THERE IS A SLIGHT HESITATION WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED, THEN A NOTICEABLE, SOMETIMES HARD, ENGAGEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION.

WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK IT DISPLAYS THE "TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK" LIGHT. WHEN THIS DISPLAYS YOU CANNOT LOCK DOORS PROPERLY. THE ONLY WAY TO ADJUST THIS IS TO EITHER TAP THE GEAR SHIFT BUTTON FOR STANDARD DRIVE OR RESTART AND KILL THE CAR. SOMETIMES IT WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING OFF AND ON SINCE 30,000 MILES BUT OUT OF THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY. I AM BEING TOLD THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE SHIFTER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM . THEY ALSO TELL ME IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR.

AFTER DRIVING AND PLACING THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE; WHICH IS DONE BY "PUSHING BUTTON CONTROL," THE INDICATOR READS " TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK". ALTHOUGH THE GEAR HANDLE IS FULLY ENGAGED IN THE PARK POSITION. ONLY AFTER PUSHING THE GEAR HANDLE WITH A LITTLE FORCE TO ENSURE IT'S IN THE "PARK", POSITION, DOES THE DASH INDICATOR CHANGES TO "PARK". AND IT'S SAFE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE.
