'07 Ford Escape Hybrid 4wd Gear Shift Issues
« on: February 02, 2012, 02:52:44 PM »
I have a 2007 Ford Escape Hybrid. It's got roughly 50k miles on it. Sometimes the gear shift whatever you call it gets stuck. Like when you put it in park, even when you press the brake, the button will not go in and you can not shift out of park. Other times, the inverse is true, it's like the brake is pushed in all the time. It shifts in and out of park without pressing the brake and the key will not come out of the ignition. I'm stuck and tired of having to take both sets of keys with the car so I can leave one set in the ignition when the car is throwing a fit.

Thanks for any help,

Ryan

When it doesn't want to come out of park, have someone check to see if the brake lamps come on when you step on the brake.  If the brake lamps work, more than likely there is a problem in the shift interlock system.

I'm just gonna go ahead and assume that if it is the shift interlock system, its over my head as a novice.
