The truck doesn't seem affected by this shifter lever problem. But when you put the truck into drive, it reads that it's in neutral. I've heard it's pretty expensive to fix so I think I'll hold off until it's absolutely necessary.

Was shifting very hard, then smooth but selector was off. Example; neutral is reverse- told that the cable is broke-stretched-that the bar in the steering column is broken-told that this is a common problem.

Ford should be ashamed of themselves!! With so many people having too similarly of problems, there should be something done by our,government. This is unacceptable!! Profit over honesty? I have had tons of problems with my Ford SUV it is ashame!! Gear shift won't line up. My drive is now drive2 and my park is reverse! My Turn signal smokes and went out. I have to hold the turn signal down when turning so that it won't pop out of place. I am always getting wheel alignments because the truck suspension eats up my tire tread!! The heat has not worked right since I got the truck
