Description of the problem	Owner of 2005 lincoln aviator. I was not able to get the gear shift out of park. I had the aviator towed to a family member's automotive garage and was told that i will need to have the entire gear shift replaced. Upon doing some research, it seems that this is a very common problem in this year, make, and model. I have read endless testimonies from other vehicle owners with the exact dispute. The part and labor will cost me approximately $1100. 00 at my family's garage, one can only guess the dollar amount will double at the local dealership. My car is driveable, however, when in park, i will have to put my emergency brake on. I was also informed that the gear shift, if bumped, may move out of park even without the key in the ignition. I am appalled that ford/lincoln motor company has not taken responsibility of the defected mechanism. It is unacceptable and raises many questions on how important vehicle safety is to ford/lincoln motor company, not to mention a total inconvenience financially! This is my fourth vehicle from ford/lincoln motor company and i highly doubt i will purchase another based on the company's lack in addressing the matter. I am a mother of one child and now do not feel secure driving a vehicle that i once felt very protected in.
