The button on the shifter will not go in so the shifter will not come out of park. After I keep pumping the break pedal it will click and it will come out of park. Sometimes it takes 10 or 15 tries. It is very frustrating when you stop to get gas and there are people behind you waiting to pull up and your car won't come out of park. They think you're just being rude. If they've ever had a Ford they would probably realize it. My Explorer in the shop now and they just called. They are replacing the shifter. I took it in for this problem before the warranty ran out and they couldn't find the problem them. Now the warranty has run out and I have to pay 20% of the costs, Ford will pick up 80% -- at least Ford is paying something. We'll see if this takes care of the problem. One funny thing is that when the shifter is giving me problems, the problem with the door locks (in another complaint section) stops. When the door locks problems start, the shifter isn't a problem.
