Transmission makes a buzzin,whirring sound in park and reverse...from what I read online from many others..this noise preludes transmission failure while driving down the road...most of the time causing an emergency situation that could cause an accident with personal injury...ford is aware of the problem, or should be by the numerous complaints over the years, but has yet to owe up to the transmission failures, causing a monetary hardship for the owners of said vehicles or the almost total loss of the vehicles value. It is the responsibility of the federal safety agency to investigate complaints such as these, then demand the manufacturers start the recall process to permanently repair said transmissions ( CVT ) or replace complete unit at manufacturers expense. Start the job you people are paid generously to do. U tube has many videos of people telling their problems, and videos of mechanics explaining the problems
