2018-2022 Ford Safety Recall Sparks New Trend: 'The Unintentional Manual Transmission Challenge'
A viral TikTok trend is emerging after Ford issued a massive recall for 2018-2022 models over a transmission glitch that can roll cars away even when in park. Owners are joking that the recall actually turns their automatics into "manual drift cars," with videos showing drivers using rocks and phone books as wheel chocks. The irony is thick—Ford’s "safe" fix might just be a software update, but the internet has already dubbed this the best unscripted stunt driving tutorial since the parking brake.
