Does anyone play that anymore?


Good luck. Lawyer up.

Anyone ever stop to consider, how did she get the key out without being in park? Supposedly the park pawl will have to engage to allow key removal. I'll bet Ford checked the linkage adjustment and made sure that it was right before sending the truck back out on the road. Ford's transmissions used to have a park pawl problem, but corrected that many years ago.

What a ridiculous statement.

The truck slips out of park and there's nothing wrong with it? Where did you read that it was on an incline? The OP actually said it was on a "flat lot".

You really don't thing if the truck came out of park(we'll assume it was since she was able to get the keys out) that Ford holds NO responsibility? Do you also feel that if the e-brake doesn't hold Ford isn't responsible because you should have used chalks?

I tell you what really makes me nervous more than my truck coming out of park....it's someone who has the words "Gun" and "Monkey" in his name....

It would be intersting to know the truth.

The OP hasn't come back and made a retort or second post, sounds like someone trying to stir a pot.

IF it was a flat surface then the tuck wouldn't have rolled, I can sit out in my street and put my truck in neutral and it doesn't roll.

Even a slight slope, one not very noticeable to a person, can cause a 3 1/2 ton vehicle to roll. A basketball will roll on a what someone believes is a flat surface, so I can imagine a truck doing the same.

You are absolutely right, the OP didn't say that the parking lot was on an incline. I made that assumption based on my ridmentary understanding of physics.

If it was a "flat lot" then the OP's wife could have left it in neutral and it still wouldn't have moved...unless it was affected by the gravitational pull of the moon.

Either someone pushed it, or it was on an incline (I'm leaning toward the latter). Neither of which would have been Ford's responsibility.

The parking brake is there for a reason, as are the instructions included in the owner's manual on when to use it. Fail to use the brake, and your truck could roll out of park. Always been that way, always will be.


My username describes my occupation. I am a field trainer and gunsmith working with military sniper rifles. The "INTL" part comes from the fact that I ply my trade all over the world, including domestic and international work for the DoD, and foreign governments through DMS and the DoS's FMS program.

Care to explain "BlancKnBack"? Oh, wait, I don't really give a ****.

I'd be tempted to get the truck back and to try parking it back in the same spot and do it controlled. Try a bunch of different things. If you are able to reproduce it, record it, and send it off to Ford and then make it public via the internet and youtube.

I know that, simple Physics. I was merely making a statement as to how the OP said "Flat" and others are stating that it was parked on an incline.

A basketball will roll on a seemingly even surface unless there is an ample amount of weight on top of the basketball causing a slight oblong shape. Our tires on our trucks are not perfectly round due to an ample amount of weight, take some air out of your tires and the less amount of roll will occur, if the tires are more flat then thusly you can raise the amount of incline and the vehicle still will not roll until gravity overcomes the flatness causing roll.

Make sense?
