This problem also happened to me. However, I found the part online that replaces the second pink lever. The new part is made of metal so the part will never break again. I made the emergency fix with the dremel, ordered the part, and a week later the part came. I am making the permanent fix today. Follow the link above to order the new part. It costs around 49.00 including tax and shipping. It will take you appx 2 hours to remove the shifter, change the part, and reinstall.

Have your transmission fluid drained and replaced. after replacing the fluid, try to move the gear shifter, if still does not work, have your transmission checked by a transmission mechanic for detailed diagnosis

    It is a pink park lock out mechanism. I unscrewed the shift cap and pulled off the plastic housing for the gear shift and there is a wire attached to a pink plastic park release. I pushed on that and my car went into gear. It was scary driving it but at least I got it home.

2012 Chrysler Town and Country wont shift out of park

Probably a problem with the shifter interlock system . Won't allow the gear selector to move from park with the engine running unless the driver is pushing on the brake pedal . Locking solenoid in the shifter , brake pedal switch , wiring etc... may even have a body control module in the loop controlling these system . Do the brake light's work ? Some of these system's have a release point in the shifter assembly . Don't know if this is your problem without checking it out .

I have a 2006 pacifica that the shifter will not move out of park. when I push on the brake I can hear like a relay sound inside the console but the shifter will not move from park. Also my check engine...

Hi Mitch:
Sounds as if you have several problems. I'll try some ideas for you to consider.
SHIFTER LOCKED- Will engine start? Try starting engine, press on brake pedal, gently turn steering back and forth while trying to move shifter.
MISFIRE # 6 - Check wiring components. Spark plug tired, plug lead wire mar be shorting out.

Why it will not go into gear?

check to see if the brake lights are working. some cars have a lockout for the gear shifter that won`t allow you to shift out of park if they are not working. it is wired into the brake light switch so when the switch or fuse is not working then the car won`t shift out of park.

My 2008 Chevy impala will not come out of park

The
shifter needs to be inspected. Its quite possible that The
shifter assembly is got misaligned, it has to be open and realign.








There
are many other possibilities. But if it was working right up till now and
suddenly this shifting problem occurred then its shifter
assembly alignment issue.




Also
i suggest you to refer these gear shift issues, which are mostly noticed. These
are direct links with appropriate solutions to
the specific problems of gear shift

Car stuck in park

I have run into this problem on a lot of Chrysler cars. The first thing is to try the shifter release this is located on the console, look in your manual and it will show you how to do this , if this still does not work then you will need a new shifter. there is a small plastic part inside the shifter that breaks. there is no replacement part. the shifter need to be replaced. i would check your dealer for any warranty info on this.

2006 Chrysler Pacifica- Will not shift out of Park, the steering wheel isn't locked, and the brake is releasing as it should. What else could it be?

Can't get out Park, starts ok, tried the manuel thing pressing
the pink release button, nothing. Had the car towed but
they had to hoist it on a truck. Was there a recall for this?

Can't shift it into gear.

all pacificas are auto and have a slap stick this might be due to have the spring that attacthes to the transmission it could be that the shifter might have to be replaced or adjusted or your transmission might be shot.

Key is stuck

I had this problem too. You have to make sure on the shifter that the knob towards the dash is out. You know the one you hold in while you move the shifter into gear.
