What happens if you put your transmission in PARK while driving 65 mph ? (NOT Recommended !) 

Thumbnail: Not Recommended RU-vid: Recommended

Thank you for your sacrifice. Your sacrifice satisfied our curiosity.

Had it been an older car you would hear a sound so vicious you would think Micheal Bay directed this.

When you pay the extra $30 for full insurance on a rental

We know damn well that "your car" is actually a rental...

try it on older cars and you might be able to make a truly interesting video

3:00 here you go comment that you've been looking for.

P = Power R = Revenge N = Nitro D = Dont use this

Next video idea What would happen if you jump out of your car at 100MPHs with your hazards on

Brave man i do very appreciate you took a risk on brand new expensive car ..

1. try to old car (reward $10,000) 2. old car with R instead of P (reward $20,000) 3. old car with R and 100 mph ( reward $30,000+ free funeral service)

your car is having too many safety features for experiment LOL XD

Ok now try this. At 65 mph open the sun roof and jump the fuck out. Then share that video as well

Man when RU-vid notified me I rushed here hoping it was finally the video with manual transmission being put in reverse. Please do this one whenever possible.

TURN UP YOUR SOUND! EVERYBODY: TURNS UP VOLUME ME: PRESSED BIXBY

Your mechanic is going to be able to retire early with all the crap you do to this car 😂

For sale: "used Ford Fusion, gently highway driven by professional."

I'm glad you have the guts to try that in your own vehicle , I would never ever try that. Thanks for stepping up. Keep up the good work.

I did this once at 2 miles per hour in my minivan and it blew up

This happened to me when I was 16 I was driving with my dad and we were getting ready to go uphill and I shifted it into 1st gear but accidentally went into park it made a weird noise. Nothing happened to the car after, it still runs fine as of today.

There is a little metal tab that locks the transmission when it is put into park. I've seen it sheered off due to someone trying to push the car with a forklift while it was in park but it is very difficult to put the tab into place while the transmission is spinning (as it should be) if you did manage to bypass the safeties and get it to go in it would probably just sheer off, cease to function properly, and make noise until you have a mechanic (like me or my dad) do some major repairs.

Just imagine if the people at his insurance company watch these videos lol

Please do continue... I have the same Ford Fusion Titanium and you are doing all the dumb shit that I thought about, but wasn't stupid enough to actually try with my own car. Thanks Dude!

D = Death S = Sport N = Nitro R = Rally P = Plane mode

What would happen if you get hit by a car going 100 mph?

try it on a old car. too much electrical assistance on this car.

dude I am deeply entertained by the fact that you did everything I wanted to do with my own car but didn't dare to :) dispite that what you did seems stupid to some people, but courage is noble.

Did anyone notice that the speed limit is 30 MPH and he said "Alright, I'm gonna get it up to 65 MPH"?

If I did this in my Jeep it'd be a one way ticket to snap city

what would happen if you drive at 70mph and jump out try it plz

The computer protected the transmission on little high speed for safty issue, if you do that on slow speed below 20km/h, then you can say goodbye to your car haha.

Love your videos. I have the same two cars Fusion and F150. Very informative and interesting videos. I always wondered these things.

I feel like this guy buys a transmission every week

What're you ever going to say to your insurance company if you leave the transmission on the street and you have a video showing how it happened? LOL

when I was first learning to drive as soon as I got in I switched from parking to putting the car in drive without breaking by accident and my ma yelled “What the hell was that? What are you doing? You tearin up my car don’t do that again I ain’t playin with you.”

Discount Matt Damon. *DING*

What happens when you undo your engine mounts and do a backflip while vaping and marching in a feminist protest

what heppens when u drive your favorite car off a cliff while eating dorritos at home?

I did that in a 2000 dodge ram three times and the grinding sound was loud - but here i am with it two years later and its still working fine.

I've been wondering about this, thank you

thanks for making all these experiments so I don't have to :D

"Oh that's a terrible noise" Proceeds to do it 2 more times. I'm starting to think he really hates his car.

I wish there were more videos like this on the internet! There's shockingly few videos of this kind of thing despite the fact that there's RU-vidrs making careers out of destroying cars

This man really risked his life to answer a question I didn’t know I had.

you could never borrow my car... you hard on a car

3:25 your face is like why am i doing this youtube shit lol

THanks for the info.... very educational

Thanks for your experimental video... yeah I have same question before what happened if I did this while my car is running.... thank you again 👍👍👍

i dare you to get up to 65 mph open the drivers door and try to step out your car without falling over

I tried it and my transmission was toasted

I work part time at a car terminal where Ford stores and ships factory cars from mainland Europe to the U.K. During a shift I move/drive anywhere from 50 to 100+ cars. It being Europe most cars are manual shift and only a few are automatics. One night during a night shift I was driving a Ford B-Max automatic. I was doing about 30 mph when I forgot I was in an automatic and pushed it into park intending to shift into 3rd gear. Park actually engaged, I heard the gears whine and it was like I had slammed on the breaks. The guy driving behind me almost slammed into me. Noticing my mistake I pulled it out of park back into drive within 2 seconds and kept driving like nothing happened. It's definitely not something I would consider doing again. I'm glad this didn't happen to you at highway speeds.

7:44 thank me later

Great video!!! kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I always wondered about that. I read a story in the paper once about people that put their cars in neutral so they can coast & save money on gas. But every once in a while people would overshoot neutral & hit reverse. In older cars it will blow out the spider gears.

What happens if you press the gas and brakes while driving

What if when he put it in park the bottom of his car fell off?

These videos mame me anxious lol

What happens when something actually happens in your videos

You have some balls

You're selfless man and RU-vid has grown since I was 14 (8-21)... but what made it was people willing to share and teach Skills

That’s crazy man but I like all your test in the Ford Fusion 👍👍👍

"That's defintely a bad thing on the transmission." Does it again.

You're pretty ballsy for making these videos lol

When you put a transmission in Park, it puts a pin through the gearing system preventing the car from rolling away. That grinding sound was the pin rubbing against the mechanism trying to engage, but since it was turning fast, it obviously wasn't able to. The transmission has to be turning slowly (ideally not at all) for that pin to drop in to place.

1:38 I absolutely love seeing the speed limit sign go by :D

It's just the parking pin that locks the transmission, it was trying to find a place to engage.

next idea. How many cats can you fit into your engine bay before your car doesn't start.

As far as I know, when you put the parking gear, theres a latch which will latch on the gear in order for the car to stop moving. When you drive fast the latch miss stopping the gear everytime. Hence, the sound

You're bold as hell for even trying this

i did this to my car by accident at 20 mph and it started bouncing.

What happens if you pop the trunk at 65 mph lol (only for a new car like yours)

lol at the beginning when you were like "Now for the very most important part..." I thought you were gonna say "always use a rental car"

Thanks for the advice

Try that in a 90s automatic!

The noise was most likely the PARK mechanism trying to engage. However the speed at which you were traveling prevented the transmission from locking. I think there would be some damage to the mechanism but maybe not enough to warrant repair to the park lock system.

Thank you for testing this

If you put your transsmision into parking it seems like have noise. It is in the wheel because if you park your car it will stop and even you gas it it can't move so if you hear the noises when you put it in parking. In your wheel or part of your wheel something will scratch and you need to repair it. Thx

Honestly most 2005+ vehicles have a sensor that help's to not damage the transmission when you " accidentally " shift your gears while drive! However like many comment's suggest older vehicle's didn't have this technology so once you shifted gears while drive, your vehicle would take a long vacation with the mechanic!

I've been waiting for this video ! Thanks for making it

I was nervous watching this, you took a serious risk bro..👍🏾

I love it vids man! But I just hate seeing people tear up perfectly good cars. Lol

I'm convinced that the warranty is voided on this car. 😂

I always wanted to know this. Thanks

Thank you sir for the information. I was scared the first time I did this.

Thanks for the testing of weird situations. Yes, I hope you didn't do any harm to your vehicle. At least the car did not like slam on the brakes and try to put you through the windshield when you went from Drive to Park gears. i think in most cars the odds of putting the car in Park while driving are very slim. Thank you and take care.

why didnt you pull over to see if your car still goes on park?

next up, what happens when you text and drive.

Awesome video please bring more content like this

If you go 5-15 mph it will work and it's not pleasant let me tell you that

You say you like your car but, I don't believe you. lol

Nothing ever happens but I always watch the videos

Thanks for sacrificing your car so I didn't have to ! I do remember my friend put his old 86 Mustang in Park and blew up the transmission. Glad things are "idiot proof" these days.

Try this on 90s Honda.... Watch your bald head go on fire

That poor little Fusion.

Thanks for sharing sir

my heart pumping while watching your videos hahahahha.

One thing I've always wondered is what happens when you press the trunk release button while driving? I used to have a 2007 Fusion and the trunk release was very close to the headlight and dash brightness control. I did notice in the current gen Fusions the trunk release button is now recessed and further away from the other controls.

this guy is REAAAALLLYY trying to fuck up his ford. he must be a GM guy.

You can't fool me. You're Jason Bourne, aren't you?? Great Video

I actually did this about a decade ago when I was first learning to drive and my car lost power on a highway. I was a dumb teenager and didn't remember where the emergency brake was and my regular brake was not responding at all, so I did the next best thing I could think of while barreling uncontrolled down a hill: shift into park. There was quite a loud grinding and almost wooden-creaking noise while it happened but it DEFINITELY helped slow it down enough for me to turn and roll up another small hill to slow down and land it in the grass safely.

Try putting it in into low gear at high speed. This could potentially be useful if you ever suddenly and completely lost brakes. You could use this to try to slow down enough to try an emergency brake and other measures to stop completely. Some cars might allow actually engaging park while moving but I wouldn't try to use this at high speed to slow down as you might just break it and keep moving with no way to slow down.
