Ford recall
I wish they would've recalled mine when I owned it. http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/ford-recalls-more-than-200000-vehicles-to-fix-transmissions/ar-BBskFEC?li=BBnb7Kz

That dial selector for the transmission was a bad idea from the start. But, give an idiot a rubber mallet, and I bet he'd find a way to break and anvil.
Actually the dial shifter works quite well. The problem some have is with the lever shifter found mostly in the Jeeps. It is nothing more than a switch and those who can not adapt from the old solid gear position mechanical shift levers have difficulty ensuring it has been placed in park, when actually they end up in reverse. My Ram has the dial, which I very much prefer, but my wife's Grand Cherokee has the soon to be recalled switch. It has not caused us any problems but we're used to it after 25000 miles.
Todays vehicles are such a complicated combination of mechanical and computerized assemblies manufactured everywhere imaginable, its no wonder we see a recall now and then. Ford makes some of the worlds finest vehicles as do Chrysler and we can all be certain those broken anvils will be corrected, in spite of the "idiots."
