The problem is most likely in the shifter assembly or the circuits and devices that control the interlock.Check the transmission by disconnecting the shift cable and manually engaging the transmission. I believe there should be a little cover next to the shifter you can pry off and stick a long screwdriver in to get the shifter out of park Once you get the console of check the park position lever to see if it is bent or out of alignment. Also make sure that your brake lights are working. If not, replace the fuse since this will also lock your shifter in park. Good luck.

George, is it a stick shift or an automatic?
door oldturkey03
It is automatic, after several intents, the buttom can be depress completily and put it in drive.

Sounds like a misaligned shifter linkage. Does it happen all the time or just sometimes?

George Pavesio, not sure where you are and what your winter is like. I am in South Texas and it is pretty nice :)weather; anyhow I keep thinking that you might either have ice and/or dirt build up in the linkage. I would clean out the entire linkage and apply a good weather resistant lubricant to the entire linkage, as well as the shift linkage on your transmisson. Good luck...
