I have a 2014 Ford Escape VIN:[XXX] (mfg date 11/2013) that almost killed somebody. I put the car in Park and got out of the car, It then proceeded to roll backwards towards a crowd of people. I was able to jump back in the car and put on the emergency brake to stop the car. Turns out their is a recall : FORD Safety Recall 18S20 -?" Shift Cable Bushing Replacement affecting 2013-2014 Ford Escape, & 2013-2016 Ford Fusion. Unfortunately, I never got a recall notice because the recall only covers Escapes up to 9/2013. How can I get my car added to the Recall? Thank You in advance. [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I was driving in a parking lot and put my car in reverse to allow another car out of a parking spot. When I tried to put my car back into drive it was stuck in reverse and would not shift. This nearly sent me crashing into the car behind me as a result. I couldn-??t even put the car in park because the shift was stuck. I turned off the car and attempted to turn it back on but it would not start. Bystanders helped push my car into a parking spot where I attempted to troubleshoot the issue. I was able to push a white lever under the shift panel to get the shift stick to move but it was then stuck in neutral and would not recognize any other gear. I had to put the emergency parking break on to keep my car from rolling into other cars around me. I did some research and found Recall # 18S20 - 2013-2014 Escape with a 6F35 Transmission Shift Cable Bushing Replacement. I contacted a few Ford dealerships in my area but they said my Vin was not included in this recall even though this is the exact issue I was having and posed a severe safety issue.
