2013 Mkx does not recognize when gear shifter has been moved to "park". Error message light "shift to park" comes on. P light is not illuminated. Driver has to repeatedly shift from park to another gear (neutral, drive, park, reverse) and back to park until p is illuminated and recognized to be in park. Vehicle is stationary when this occurs. This began in early 6/2018 and occurred intermittently until a new gearshift switch fp #gt4z-3f988-b was installed on 6/22.
