If the ignition is left in a position between "lock" and "on" the gear shift interlock mechanism doesnt work and the vechcle can be pulled out of gear. Normally, the service brake has to be applied in order to shift out of park. Contacted ford motor company approx 6 months ago via email- no response.

We do not believe a transmission should go out at this low mileage and got no help when contacted the ford motor company.

My mechanic was fixing the front manifold gasket problem, when he took it for a test drive, the rear manifold gasket went. The fix for this problem means drilling out the bolts, which crack and cannot be used again. My mechanic has done many of these drillings and says it's a major problem that the car manufacturer should be addressing. The oil leak is becoming major, and I will have to take care of it soon. My mechanic has informed me that the transmission will need to come out in order to fix the leak. He has also done many of these repairs too, for this particular type of vehicle.
