Linkage Bushing Kit 14057 for Ford Fusion: amzn.to/2Y8lPCc
The shifter on my 2015 Ford Escape was stuck in the "park" position but was actually in neutral when the car was started. The shifter would not move. This video covers the shifter release switch located under the shifter panel, but all that does is get the car stuck in "Sport Mode." If in either situation continue to watch as the actual problem could be the transmission linkage bushing attached to the shifting rod. This video gives tips and advice on troubleshooting this issue.

I love when I find videos like this that show THE EXACT issue that I'm having. Thank you brother, you're a godsend.
Say it with me people “Life Saver” thought it was a Huge problem turns out super minor Thanks Again.
There is now an official recall by Ford on this particular issue. Safety recall notice 22S42/NHTSA recall 22V413. I received notice from Ford last November. Repairs by Ford are to be completed free of charge to the customer.
You are a lifesaver! My 2015 Ford Escape got stuck in reverse on a narrow City street in the middle of a city wide garage sale day. The trick of unlocking the gear shift up by it didn't work so I searched UA-cam found yours and it worked perfectly! Thank you so very much❤❤
Thank you so much. You helped me get my daughter home safe. Had no idea how to help her. Pulled up this video and mins later she was on her way. Thank you again.
I pulled into a gas station and when i returned i was able to move my shift lever but the gears would not shift .i searched for an answer and found the video about the white shifter release which was no help .i then after alot of frustration found this video and was driving home whithin 10 mins thank you so much .ps.the part is the shufter linkage bushing.
I was stuck at a Walmart parking lot,
Your video helped me and practically saved me.
It was freezing with the cold front , 2 videos deep, 3rd time was a charm with your video. Got outta there and home safely and repairing it now.
Thanks a million
Video was also Perfect length and to the point, showed the right amount of detail,
I wasn’t able to “see” where I was grabbing exactly but knew what to feel around for based off what you showed
Thanks again
Wow! You saved me money & troubles beyond measure. You are indeed a life saver and a true friend. I have no words but to say thank you for this video. If I ever meet you, I will be very happy to give you a big hug and tell you how much I appreciate you. Your the best buddy.
Glad I could help
Thank you much, you helped me today. I was struck in the parking lot, it help my hubby get the problem solved. God Bless you!
Thank you for your informative video. I have a 2016 Connect. Traveling to the Jersey shore, stopped at Wawa for gas, shifter disconnected while getting gas. Panicked, call AAA, while waiting googled seeing your video. Yes, I thought it was the shifter! Popped the hood, just as you said, the cable disconnected from the trans lever. Saved the towing and repair cost, yet more importantly, we’re on our way to the Jersey shore for the Memorial Day weekend. Thanks again for the video!!!
Thank you!!!! I was so screwed until I found your video. I was literally stuck at the bank teller window and cars were behind me honking. It was bad. Ford should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for the 2014 Escape all the way around. I’ve had so many stupid little things like this happen. Thank you again for this video!!!!
Bro thank you so much for making this video! You saved me and my family from getting towed home. Truly appreciate you taking the time explain this problem so well.
My wife car couldn’t move on a parking lot, she planned to call towing service to get mechanic shop. I pulled this video and put back the shifter wire in a minute. Looks all good.
You're AWESOME!!!!THIS was my issue,and my man went right to it..and yes the nipple was gone..he's tying something to keep it in place..thank you SOOOOOO MUCH,YOU SAVED MY LIFE,AND MONEY!!!
You’re f***ing awesome bro! I’m sitting here in the middle of winter in a Costco parking lot and this video saved me. Thank you so much.
Perfect video. Not too long. Shows what needs to be shown. And helped me install it. As a guy who has changed oil once and never works on a car, you made this real easy to accomplish. Thank you!
Thank you! This saved me from going to the mechanic. My car was stuck in neutral and the method with the shifter wasn’t working. That engine trick did the job!
So we have a 2013 Escape. Your video showed me step 1 of discovering the problem. It lead me to how to repair it myself. Which by the way is pretty simple. So, thanks! You were a great help!
Great video! This saved me a tow truck on a Monday night at 9:30 at night! Exact issue and was a simple fix! Took 5 minutes!
Thanks for taking the time to help us out . Your an awesome guy for doing this .
Bump for the algorithm. Saved me time, money, and a tow. Thanks man. Great work.
Thanks for the video. My 2013 Ford Escape had this same problem. I was able to call the fords part department at my local dealership and get the bushing and a white cap that goes over the assembly once you put the bushing on and then the rod back onto the bushing. Part numbers: Orange Bushing - DG9Z7K340A -
White Cap that goes over bushing - DG9Z7S004A
Your video literally just save my life rn, was stuck while going out for a quick drive , thank you
Had this issue and found that the bushing is a fairly common part for most Ford models and seems to be readily available at the Ford dealership. When I went to get one the parts manager knew exactly what I needed without even looking it up. The bushing cost me $1.15 and took about 30 minutes to replace from start to finish. On the 2013 Ford Escape you will have to remove the air filter box and hoses to get to the transmission lever, but all in all not that difficult. Thanks for the video, it cut down my repair time not having to search for the shifter lever... that thing could have been a challenge to find.
I just took my car to the car dealership to have a it fixed
I also have a 2013 Ford Escape and this happened to me 🤦♂️. The bushing is still attached but won't stay on that nipple. Question did you have to take out the old bushing and if so was that difficult?
The Ford dealership is saying they don't sell the bushing by itself that I would have to buy the whole linkage cable 🤦♂️
@@AndrewCarrranza how did you fix the problem mine is the same exactly, the thing still attached but it stuck on P and I have a dashboard message say “ transmission not in park “
@@EARTHKEENING I was able to attach the linkage cable back on by reaching my hand in and popping it back on. It felt real loose but I was able to put the car in gear. I drove the car home and parked it till I did more research on how to fix it.
I found a video and an article on which part to buy, the dealership said I had to buy the whole lever which would've been like $150 $750 to have them put it on.
The Ford dealership had the 2 parts that the article recommended. Cost me $20 in parts and a couple hours to fix. It would've taken 30 minutes but I dropped the bushing while trying to pop in in.
I took the old bushing out with needle nose pliers. If you're lucky that's all the tools you'll need, I needed a ratchet set because when the bushing fell it went under the air intake.

@@AndrewCarrranza thanks for the information it was helpful and you did great .
This happened to meet after backing out of a stall in the middle of a Walmart parking lot . if I had not panicked I could have found this. Thank you
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼Thank you so very much!!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I JUST had this happen to me in the middle of the night and I was terrified. I'm in south Dallas, driving for Lyft. Dropped off my rider, put my car in reverse, and then it was in neutral. Turned it off, thinking it was a code or something. Was terrified of what could happen, after midnight in a not awesome area. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! I'm so unbelievably broke and I can't afford to get a tow, let alone have someone fix it. May God bless you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great video. Got stuck in a parking lot, pulled up your video and had the issue temporarily fixed in 3 minutes. Got home and called ford up. They will fix the issue under recall # 22V413 (2015 Escape)
THANK YOU!!! I just had this problem and this fixed it right up nice and easy!! THANK YOU SO MUCH

Shout out to you for helping me out. My 2015 escape doesn't look exactly like yours under the hood, finding the lever like you said helped me out. Merry Christmas

Cool pants. On your way to the links after the video?. lol Thanks for the video. Helped a lot.
You saved me from being stranded. Thank you.
This just happened to me while I was delivering for Uber eats and I already picked up the customers food and I feel like an asshole because I had to call customer support to cancel their order even tho I had their food but I was legit stranded and I’m not good with cars and I couldn’t find any help and then I saw this video and even tho the lever isn’t exactly in the same spot in my car as it was in your video I manage to find the lever and it ended up working! Thank you!
THANK YOU!! SOOO MUCH HELP! This literally just happened to me. Stuck on reverse
Fantastic, great job.
YOU FUCKING SAVED MY LIFE! If it weren’t for you I would’ve had to pay for a tow truck thank you so much bro!
God bless you for this video.. this happened to me earlier this week and my problem was the car saying that the car is in sport mode. I couldn’t even start it. Thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks for the video,was exactly what was wrong with my escape
Thank you! Great explanation and right to the fix
This video really helped a lot. Thank you very much. 👍😁
Glad it helped!
Awesome video, straight to the point, I had the same issue and thought I’d be spending thousands of $$$ for the fix and thanks to your video, I was able to put it together with a cable tie and the car started to work fine again, I’m ordering the parts to change it tomorrow, I have a Ford Escape 2013 and first time this happens to me
THANKS FOR THE HELP
Question, were you able to buy the bushing by itself? If so, do you happen to have the part number?
The Ford Dealership in my town says they only sell the whole linkage cable and not just the bushing 🤦♂️
@@AndrewCarrranza Yes i paid like 5$ at the Ford dealership
Part # DG9Z 7K340 A.
You have an idea what size nut it is?
Sir, you just saved my life!!!
I’m glad this video could help!
Awesome, just had my transmission replaced $5800. Then this happened. Was absolutely furious. But this was the problem. Thank you so much. Absolute life saver. Mine is a 2014. I'll replace the bushing. But right now it clicked back in place.
They thought it was the transmission and fixed that? And all along was the bushing?
@@melissatolman811 no, there was a transmission problem. The bushing just happen to go bad after they fixed the problem. I doubt they got near the bushing. It apparently happens in the Ford Escape
@@markyoung4940 sorry to hear !
Amazing 👏 how to...just one
Additional Tip: to hook the shift back onto the bushing you may need to get in the car and position the shift to park through sport depending on how far off the shift stick is
You are a beautiful man! Thank you for the GREAT info!
Thank you so much brother, saved the day
Thank you so much I just helped my mom with her gearshift
Lifesaver, and it made me look good in front of the family!!!!
Thank you so much for this.
Thanks man helped a lot
Love you thanks you just saved my Azz. Hero
Thank you so much it worked !!!

Sir thanks so much!!! This happened to my car today and just followed your video. I scheduled the towing and mechanic for tomorrow 😳 you saved me😘😘😘 i know a thing about my car now! Thank you soooo much!
Thank you so much for this
Having this issue but my cable is not disconnected. My Brake lights come on so it isn't a fuse. Not sure what to try next. Any help is appreciated. I have a 2012 Ford Fusion.
Just adding my thanks, I got the same problem, checked your video and verified the same issue. Saved me a trip to the mechanic. One note tho, your link for the bushing kit for the Escape doesn't match anymore.
Found out this is a recall, I got it fixed for free along with the door lock recall at a Ford dealership
God saver right there thank you!!
Thanks. I have this problem right now and I'm at work 12 miles from home. Thanks to your video I'm able to get my car in drive and will be able to get home. It's a 2014 ford fusion.
Update: This problem is a Recall for the Ford Fusion. The Ford dealer fixed this for me for Free!
@@lawrencee1113 Did you do what this guy did and then took it to the dealer?
@@stevetest2690 Yes, but it was about 5 days before the dealer could fix it, so I drove it like this for almost a week.
@@lawrencee1113 did you have to pop the hood and do this everyday
@@courtneywood2142 Yes, I had to pop the hood, apply parking brake, shift the lever by the engine to park, or neutral to get it to crank. Then once it was cranked, shift the lever to drive.
Thanks from 🇲🇽
Thanks alot 🌚 i love you bro!!!!!
Saved my life bro
Dude Thankyou. other than I cooked the crap out of my hands working around them hot hoses because I was stranded that was the ticket
U just saved me from a headache 😂😂
I released mine from the under the shifter and went on D but then put the cover back and put on p and same thing happened it got stuck again , I checked my lever by the transmission and it’s connected what I should check next ?
Thanks brother
This is a recall finally. Had to repair it twice on my 2015 escape. take it to ford and demand it be repaired
