On february 19, 2021. After backing my 2014 ford fusion into a parking space. I went to shift it into park. The lever shifted all the way forward as if it were in park. I turned off the car and because the car was on a slight incline it began to roll. I hit the brake and looked to see if I was indeed in park. The shifter was all the way forward but the display showed as if the car was in reverse. I tried to start the car. It would not start. I could not move the shifter out of park.
