Problem overview

Some Ford Bronco 2022 owners report experiencing issues with their vehicle getting stuck in park gear, which can remain unresolved even after extended periods at the shop. This problem may be attributed to a defective shift interlock solenoid that prevents the gear shift from moving until it receives a signal from the brake light switch. Additionally, a faulty brake switch circuit can also cause the shift lever to be stuck in the Park position, necessitating checks for blown fuses and proper brake light switch operation. Some owners have encountered transmission issues that require multiple dealership visits, potentially contributing to the gear shift problem. Furthermore, difficulties in shifting gears can arise from issues with the actuator or shifter mechanism, including possible physical damage to these components. It is advisable for owners to check for any relevant technical service bulletins (TSBs) that may provide insights into common issues and solutions. If the issue persists, escalating the matter with Ford customer service or consulting a different dealership or certified mechanic may be necessary, with careful documentation of all communications and repair attempts to support their case.
