Unknown, My 2024 Ford Maverick has now twice got stuck in reverse (shifter indicates it is in reverse) though the dash shows park and I was unable to start the truck after removing my key and waiting a few moments it would act normal and let me start my truck. The last time it happened I was in the dealer lot and told my sales representative but we couldn’t replicate the problem he said next time it happens to record it and see if it becomes a trend that it would be covered under warranty but until it is replicable they could not do anything I don’t know when or why it happens. I just wanted to report it because I’m not sure if it’s only happening to me or if it is effecting others as well.
