The short version
Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the control module software. Here is what owners need to know.
The powertrain control module (PCM) may reset while driving, which can damage the park system or cause an engine stall.
A damaged park system can result in a vehicle rollaway when the vehicle is placed in park without the parking brake applied. An engine stall while driving can result in a sudden loss of drive power.
Take it to a dealer — they will update the powertrain control module software, free of charge.
