PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL
MY SHIFT LINKAGE IS BROKEN SO I'VE BEEN PARKING MY TRUCK IN DRIVE OR REVERSE AND PUTTING THE PARKING BRAKE ON. I HAVE TO GET UNDERNEATH TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. ONE MORNING I FOUND THE TRUCK ACROSS THE STREET. THE PARKING BRAKE HAD LET GO. SEVERAL OTHER TIMES AFTER THAT IT HAS LET GO, ONE TIME WHILE I WAS UNDERNEATH IT, SHIFTING GEARS. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT PERTAINS TO MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS ONLY. I SUGGEST IT'S THE SAME BRAKE MECHANISM. I COMPLAINED ABOUT IT NOT WORKING RIGHT WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THEY DID NOT FIX IT. I CALLED FORD TODAY AND THE MAN TOLD ME THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT SO FORD WILL DO NOTHING. I EXPLAINED THAT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. STILL NOTHING.
