Re: Stuck In Park & Stuck Key Dealer Says New Shifter Needed?? $300?????????????

There should be a brake switch/sensor under the dash near the brake pedal. That sensor tells the car when you have the brake held down so it will allow you to shift into drive. The part should cost only about $20-$30, and if you're slightly mechanically inclined, you should be able to do it yourself with a Chilton's and some internet research. Hey, it'll save you $270 at least right?

I'd get a second opinon, find a fordguy/mechanic on the forums you can trust, and ask him if he can buy the part. If he can, you can.
