Hello Heather, Sometimes you can't shift out of Park unless you push on the brake pedal and sometimes turn the steering wheel. Good luck.

There is a recall on this exact problem. I would contact your Ford Dealer. I recently was advised of the recall when I called Ford.

Soounds like the AC system need to be refilled and also evacuated. That means all of the air that is not AC fluid removed from the system.

No, they are wrong. It has nothing to do with the transfer clutches. You have a worn parking pall.

SOURCE: GMC 1500 Auto, will not shift back into park?

Climb under your pickup and look where the cable connects to the side of the transmission and make sure there is not any mud around the cable or around the shift linkage hookup. If so clean it off and see if it will shift. We have found many of these with mud caked around the shift linkage or a lot of ice buildup and wont allow it to shift into park.

Where is the interlock switch to get my 2005 ford freestyle out of park it's stuck

hey! Jasmine first check that the fuse for the brake lights is not blown there's a safety thing that will not let you shift out of park if the fuse is blown /// next if O.K. you must check the brake light switch on the frame where the pedal is under the dash if lights are working then the interlock switch is on the steering column here's the connector that you'll look for
interlock-switch-get-2005-ford-freestyle-h3u3bvaxgt5rbqkhjnnyjnme-5-0.jpg
but is the shift lever very loose if it is try to push it forward and all the way to the left and it should start was somebody yanking on the shifter trying to get it out of park without there foot on the brake they could have broken the shift tube so the transmission is not all the way in park and the neutral safety switch is stopping you from starting because now it's not in the right position

2000 ford mercury 3.0, shifter wont move. had a fender bender, put it into park and it wouldn't come back out.


For car not changing gears it can be shifter assembly issue, or it can also be transmission issue. Get the shifter assembly inspected with ignition OFF.

For more troubleshooting, I suggest you to get the Following help link checked, its complete step by step procedure to inspect gear shift issues: -----

These will help.

I have a 2001 Ford Escape (alternator just replaced) and as I was backing out of my parking space, and shifting into drive, the gear shift lost all tension and wouldn't shift. I turned off the engine....

seems like your shift cable is disconnected , you might have hit it when you were working on the alternator just go back and re-trace your steps
