129k miles. Transmission slipping out of gear at 70 +/- mph. Pulled into gas station, allowed to cool for 1hr.

With no warning I started my car and went to put it in drive and the shifter would move but not go into gear. It felt like the shifter was not attached to anything. Luckily the car was stuck in park, if this would have happened while driving it could of resulted in an accident or worse injuries. I was told there was a recall for this, checked my VIN and it did not show it as an active recall. I contacted my local Ford dealership and they did exactly what I did and run the VIN number telling me my car was not part of the original recall. I don't understand why one car is part of a recall but another is not. I had to pay for my car to be towed and now repaired due to faulty parts by Ford!.
My 2016 Ford Fusion is having problems with the sifter cable where the car can stay in another gear but the car sifter is in park. I got home and put the car in park and my car started rolling backwards. There is a current recall for the sifter cable bushing. I looked at my car sifter cable and the bushing is gone and I can't get my car out of reverse. This is a big safety concern and Ford doesn't want to do any thing. I called Ford for help and they told me there is noting they can do to help me. If they know they have problems with the bushings why don't they include the 1. 5 engine because according to them only they 2. 5 engine has that problem. I am scared that my car is going to roll away and hit something or someone I have to have my cars e brake on just to help me feel safer around my car.
