I have a 2006 F-150 with the 5.4 engine and auto transmission. The only problem that I have had with it is with the transmission sticking in park. This only happens occasionally and the two times that I took it in under warranty, the dealer could not find anything wrong. They did replace the parking mechanism in the column, but that has not helped. Sometimes I turn off the engine and wait 10 - 15 seconds and try again. Usually, that works. A few times, it doesn't. Before anyone asks, yes I have my foot depressing the break before trying to get out of park, and yes the brake lights are working with my foot on the brake. This is getting frustrating, especially now with the truck out of warranty. I made a point to get the service manager to document it in my file in case it locks up completely. Has anyone here heard of this problem and know what needs to be done to fix it permanently?
