Unknown. My wrench light has came on 3 times since owning this car. The first 2 times it has came on I was not able to switch out of park after starting my car, but shortly after the light went off on its own and I was able to drive my car. This Friday (8/26/22), when on my way to work the wrench light came on again and this time stayed on, I was not able to switch out of park from starting it as well. I had my car towed and I’m currently waiting for the mechanic to see what’s wrong with my car( 8/27/22)

2 weeks ago I went to drive my car and an error code popped up on my screen stating Shift SYS Fault Service Required. I took my car to a mechanic I have been using and he checked the codes to diaganose it. He stated that it needs a Range Control Module, Range Sensor. According to the mechanic this is located inside the transmission and will require quite a bit of time to replace. This sensor controls what gear the car is in. On top of this the mechanic called the ford dealer for the part and I was told the part was on back order with no date yet on when it will come in. Since this happened I have received an update on the part, they were saying possible 08/09 but now as of today has been backed up to 08/19. From my understanding this car has had a recall for the model years 2013 to 2016 for this same error code coming up, but in the past this has dealt with the actual shifting mechanism not the module inside. So at any rate this is definitely a safety issue since I can't drive my car due to it possibly popping out of gear or not staying in park. While it still functions currently I am hesitant to drive it anywhere due to the possiblity of not being able to get it into or out of drive.
