Quirky question

[The Real Maverick]

As others have said it is normal for the Maverick. However, the continuous spin is especially odd because my wife has a 2022 Edge and that rotary dial shifter does not work the same. The Edge rotary dial has hard stops at Park & Drive, so you can't keep rotating right past Drive or left past Park. It's more convenient because if you want to go to Park or Drive you just rotate it quickly until it stops. When I first got my Maverick I also thought there was something wrong with the rotary shift dial because it didn't have hard stops like the Edge. Not sure why Ford doesn't use the same set up on the Maverick.

Because it's an iPod dial.

In disguise.

I just picked up my 2024 Atlas Blue XLT Hybrid today. Kind of quirky question I have but on the dial shifter when I shift back to park the dial does not stop. It goes in to park but it turns as much as I want. Is this normal? I have to check our 2020 Edge when I get home which has a dial shift to see if that does it as well.

Its actually a tiny feature i like. You just spin the dial and no need to look and see if it got stuck or something 3 clicks or 10 you know its in drive or park.

I had a fusion with the dial shift where something fell into the tiny slot by the shifter and it got stuck between gears but it sure felt shifted. Had I not looked i could have reversed into something.

Comparing this to the mavericks freely spinning shifter dial if it doesnt shift properly after several clicks you know its broken. Still be cautious but it does seem like an improvement.

Just turn off it will automatically go to park and e brake will engage.

Yeah I checked my wife's 20 Edge last night and it stops at park.

Turn the car off and it goes to Park automatically, I think it does if you open the door as well.
