Within a few seconds the transmission returned to drive.  When the car reached its destination, it went into park, but wouldn't shift out of park for 20 minutes.  It finally shifted into reverse, and drive as needed until reaching my home.   While trying to shut off the car at my home, it showed that it was in park, put the car was rolling.  Finally the car stopped rolling and appeared to be in park.  The car hasn't been driven since that day.  I had the car towed to the local Ford dealer who sold me the car.  They determined that the parking pawl malfunctioned and part of it destroyed the transmission.  When I researched recalls on this vehicle, I noticed NHTSA Recall #23v-069 appears to be the same problem that I experienced.  The Ford dealership said that this recall didn't include my car's VIN #, so that is why I never received any notifications of this recall.  I believe that my car should have been included in the recall and I wouldn't be facing an $8,000 + bill for a new transmission.  Ford will not pay for the repair because the car has 66,000 miles, which is over the 60,000 limit.   The service technician at the dealership said that I did nothing to cause the transmission to be destroyed.   This obviously was a very dangerous situation, and this is why there is a recall on 2020 Ford Explorers.  I believe that more cars need to be included in this recall.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2020","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"EXPLORER","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
