Ford recalls 2.9 million cars due to rollaway risk

The big picture: The cables in the cars can detach or degrade over time, which can lead to vehicles not shifting into the intended gear, according to documents from the NHTSA.

• The cars might not shift into the correct gear and could move in an unintended direction, CNN writes.

Details: The recall covers certain 2013 to 2019 Escape, 2013 to 2018 C-Max, 2013 to 2016 Fusion, 2013 to 2021 Transit Connect and 2015 to 2018 Edge vehicles.

• Ford currently has over 1,600 warranty reports and 230 complaints about the problem, per AP.
