Description of the problem | My wife arrived at work and shifted the car into park. While exiting the car started rolling backwards. She had to apply the emergency brake to stop it. While the dash and shifter said the car was in park it was really in neutral or reverse. I had the car towed to the dealership. The replaced the shifter cable assembly and told me that a small plastic bushing broke and thats what caused the issue. Total cost of the repair was $410. There is now a recall for the exact same problem but they will not refund me the money because my vin is not part of the recall. The recall needs to be expanded to cover more fusion |
