When you shift the car to put it in any gear you have to judge what selection you have picked. By looking at what you have selected is not accurate. The young lady at ford in the service department told me it was to expensive to repair since my warrenty had just run out.

If you put the car in park, the shifter needle would say it was in reverse, or if the car was in drive, it would say it was in neutral.
