Car not shifting from paRK??????
HELP......aNYONE HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE SHIFT LOCK NOT DISSENGAGING FROM PARK ? (oops) After i drive for about 30 min and turn the car off, when I re-start the car for some reason I cant move the shift lever out of park. I don't hear the low click sound that always occurs when i press the brake (the sound is located in the shift gate area). After I wait a few min it seems to fix itself...Anyone know what this could be? 
Thanx for the reply.

Sometimes when you can't take the car out of Park, it's because there is a light out ...kinda of like a safety 
Just re-read ....hmm seeing as how it fixes it self, it might be something with the braking system or something

K, I figured that it could be something like that. But it's not...........HELP...., I just figured somebody might of had the same problem 
It seems as something isn't engaging whan I depress the brake, and then it does when it want's.

I read something about this in the manual, there is that keyhole looking thing by the shifter itself, read something about sticking a flat tip screw driver in there and getting it out of Park. I will try to scan it tomorrow and post it. Im off to bed atm though. GL
