When I read this, I realized most these cars got crushed from the Cash for Clunkers program anyway!

“NHTSA warns consumers to be aware of certain vehicle conditions that could signal a possible problem, such as a cruise control system that stops working or can’t be activated, brake lights that stop working, brake lights and ABS warning lights that illuminate on the dashboard, or the inability to shift the vehicle out of the park position.”

Don’t most Fords eventually have at least one of these issues??  I think if it can’t shift out of park then it’s pretty safe…not moving.
