Haha, thanks man.. All of the shifters had this kind of sloppy feel on the ones I have test driven.. This is on the truck I purchased, so I've had a little more time to play with it and see what kind of stuff doesn't feel right..Very good video. Very bad feels.
I agree. Shifters shouldn’t move unless you push that shifter button. I’ve seen other cars from other brands shift without pressing the button but those vehicles were over ten years old at least. Things wear out. You’re in state of the art 2021 all new F150. That should not be happening. I really hope you show that video to your dealer. Educate these foolsHaha, thanks man..

To me, it really seems like you should have to push the button in to shift to park.. That's how I recall it being on my other console shifters in the past.
...the gremlin that can't be found...It is definitely nothing more that an electronic knob shifter with a handle on it. I have had it shift on it's own from reverse to park while I was slowly backing up. We buy several F150 trucks every few years. The electronics are going to be the gremlin that can't be found more and more. I have a 2021 PB Lariat that accelerates on its own randomly. Touch the accelerator foot pad and take your foot away and it takes 2-5 seconds for the accelerator to respond while the truck continues to increase in speed. Conversely it also does the reverse. Sitting to cross traffic randomly you can push the pedal and it takes 1-4 seconds to respond at all, leaving you in oncoming traffic.
Do you have the auto hold feature enabled? That might explain the delay you are experiencing.It is definitely nothing more that an electronic knob shifter with a handle on it.

That is exactly what I did. I can't stand the wasted space from a console shifter and prefer column shifter for an automatic, or even a knob like Ram. Now if we could still get a manual shift . . . that belongs in the console!That is crazy! I certainly agree, it should be locked out of park if the side button isn't depressed. Unfortunately, not much we can do about it short of just buying XLT with column shifter.
Nothing wear out on our 2005 Honda Accord, the shifter moves as it should, as it was designed.I agree. Shifters shouldn’t move unless you push that shifter button.

I find this behavior goes away if you put it in Sport mode. Still does it a bit in normal mode, but most pronounced in Eco mode. To me it seems like more of a transmission issue.It is definitely nothing more that an electronic knob shifter with a handle on it.

That's it. Those actions without using the button were transmission safe changes; going from reverse to park has potential to damage the transmission, especially if it happened at a higher speed, say 5-plus mph. Granted, it's not too often we drive in reverse at speed, unless you are James Bond, but that is a 5000 lb mass moving so it's a lot of momentum to just slam into park.If I remeber correctly - the old way was Park to Rev, N to Rev and D to Lower gears - Push button. D to N, R to N and lower gears to D or N - Just push shifter. It has been a while...LOL
