PARKING BRAKE
05/25/2007301/20/2007
 The vehicle when parked at any degree of incline or decline has had repeated tendencies not to shift out of park. on this occasion, i had the vehicle on ramps changing my oil and went to put it in neutral to level it out. the vehicle appeared to have gotten stuck in reverse and neither the foot brake nor the emergency brake would stop it. it would not let me shift into any of gear until it reached level ground. i had an appointment with the dealer to look at the transmission on may 31, 2007 because i had been having trouble with the transmission shifting very rough and feeling a jerking sensation when i shifted from park to either drive or reverse. *tr

 Parking brake will not hold vehicle. dealer (westlie ford, camas wa) would not adjust it. i was told that the parking is not intended to hold the vehicle. it is only there to assist the park setting on the transmission! if the brake is not truly adjustable, then this is a design flaw.*ak
