Shift lever became stuck in drive in our garage. We were not able to move the shifter out of drive to park or any other gear. We were able to turn the car engine off but the key remained lodged in the column. This occurred on a 2005 Aviator as was discussed in another report in the database. The dealer has quoted a $950 repair charge. No coverage by Ford/Lincoln.
