Ford Recalls Nearly 1,000 Vehicles Because They Might Run Away In Park | Carscoops carscoops
is recalling 944 vehicles that might have a screw loose. Well, really it’s a bolt but the result is that affected vehicles could roll away even though they’re in “Park”.

The only symptoms reported other than potential roll-away are a check engine light and or noise from the transmission housing.Of the 944 cars in the recall, Ford told Carscoops that more than 600 haven’t even been sold to customers yet.
