the vehicle stopped going into “Reverse” and the transmission indicator remains in “Neutral” even when shifted to the “Park” position which has made the vehicle prone to rolling unless the Electronic Parking Brake is engaged. Once in the “Park” position the vehicle will not shift into any other position and remains locked unless the Shift Lock Release is engaged to allow the vehicle to shift into “Drive”

2017 Ford edge with 79,000 miles began to make a loud engine rattle, it almost sounded like someone had put a semi-engine in it overnight. No check engine lights ever appeared. Took it to a local shop and they came out to look at it and said it sounded really bad and I needed to tow it to a Ford House immediately. Once Ford took it apart they found that the flywheel had cracked, and it caused my crankshaft to crack as well. They're saying I need a complete engine replacement for $8,000. Big safety issue that no check engine light never came on with complete engine failure.
