Looks like . I drive mostly in manual mode and am wondering whether this is the cause and is this problem widespread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it should be fixed under warranty if its an issue. Just ring Ford and tell them your KNOB needs attending to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
