First Gear I have an 98 Oldsmobile Bravada, and when I get on the freeway my check engine light comes on and when I get off it jumps in to first gear hard. What could this be? When i turn the car off it does not jum p in to first gear hard anymore, again what could this be? They tell me the check engine light comes from the hvac hose and its a small problem, and that it could be something electric for the gear jumping. I dont think electricity has a part in changing gears. What about you?

one of the known with the bravada-trailblazer-and envoy was the vinal/leather boot cover on the shifter getting jammed and your vehicle also has a park release lever under the boot as well https://www.manualslib.com/manual/654367/Oldsmobile-Bravada-2002.html?page=92 tells how to get out of park --check the trans cable and linkage for damage after releasing shifter
do the dashboard lights go out when key turned to start? when you say nothing happens,is there a click? does the motor turn over,but not fire? is it an automatic,meaning is the gear inhibitor switch preventing starter from working?have you tried a jumper battery?putting a jumper lead from the battery earth to the engine ground helps sometimes,if earthing cables broken

your shifter is not aligned properly this condition indicates that the shifter has placed the transmission in park but just barely it needs like maybe 2 more millimeters of travel.
