Already dealt with this system malfunctioning on a 2023 f150. It's even better because it automatically activates the parking brake at the same time. FPOS was repeated many times as the tow truck was loading it on to a flatbed. 90 days and 3 separate trips to the dealership later it's back in service.

​@@clickbaitgod6384 to do an alignment on most modern day alignment machines you have to do the setup then roll the car forward onto plates that measure the alignment. If the car puts itself in park it will require another person sitting inside of it to push it forward instead of just getting down to business.

[@shanestanton5481]

He said it would do it in reverse or drive. So should be good for alignments if neutral doesn't engage the thing. The newer Ram trucks have that auto park feature anyways. Already had to figure that out

[@CH67guy1]

I used to have cars with 3 pedals on the floor and a joystick thingy between the seats. Actually, growing up we had a Chevy pickup truck where the joystick thingy was attached to the steering column and someone named it after a tree or something. Back then there was no “park” on the joystick thingy. We had to secure the vehicle manually by placing the transmission in 1st or reverse, setting the parking brake, and sometimes turn the tires toward or away from the curb. If your vehicle was a piece of shit you might have carried a block of wood to use as a wheel chock. And we also had to remember to turn off the engine. Now if you wanted to lock your vehicle you had to manually push down the lock plunger thingy on each door. And when you closed the door sometimes you had to hold up the outside door handle or that lock button thingy will pop up. And if your vehicle was a piece of shit it probably didn’t lock and you had to worry about someone stealing your little pack of Kleenex, your mom’s pink floral umbrella, and your Dionne Warwick 8 track tape. “Do you know the way to San Jose? I’ve never been so long…” She also sung about putting a hundred down and buying a car and pumping gas. These days you can’t afford a house, car, or gallon of gasoline in San Jose. But if you’re homeless the state will pay you $650 a month to buy drugs and pee on the sidewalk.
