| I am the owner of a 2000 navigator. i bought it from a private owner about a year and a half ago. when go to change gears, the vehicle sometimes won't go into gear or if i put it in park, it sometimes won't go. then i tried to use my emergency brake when parking, which is what i had to resort to due to the vehicle not staying in gear, it also would not work. i went to get my vehicle safety inspection and of course it did not pass. so that prompted my online research as to how to fix the problem. then i came across the recall in formation for this vehicle and similar models and i see that some recalls were made, but not for my vehicle's year. i was wondering if my vehicle's year model should be included in some of the other recalls because i have the exact same problem but my vehicle is a 2000 and the recall was for a 1998 and so on. thank you. *tr | |||

| Upon driving down the road,with no aaparent preliminary warnings, a screw fell from under my dash onto my feet. i dismissed it as a dash cover screw and kept driving. upon reaching my home and trying to put my gearshift into park, i realize this screw has something to do with the gear shift and linkage. the shifter is now loose and will not go into park. if i hold it towards the p i am able to get my keys out of the ignition. i now have to use my emergency brake and i have to start the car in neutral. not a serious issue unless it progresses and the gearshift falls off. i will have it fixed by the dealer tomorrow - just thought you should know about the problem. *nm | |||
