Sounds like the shift cable is off the transmission under the hood. Raise the hood and check to see if the cable is moving the linkage going into the transmission when the shift lever is moved in the car. Be sure to have park brake on.
Sounds like the shifter is stuck in reverse or drive since it will roll.
I would set the parking brake and have someone watch the shift lever on the transmission to see if it and the shifter inside is still connected.
some are set up with safety with brake lites out. ck if brake lites work if not turn key on do not start and shift to neautral and start and have brake lites repaired
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?
First check the adjustment at the transmission lever were the cable attaches to. If it shifts into every other gear just fine the locking parking pawl has been worn away or broken. The pawl has a pointed 90 degree end that catches into the drum inside the transmission. It suppose to catch into a cogged tooth area of this drum causing the trans to lock in place.. It will be cheaper to service the emergency brakes if not working properly until you can finace the cost to repair the trans lock. This will cost a sizable amout to repair I know.
There is a pin that goes through the shifter that hold it in place, along with a spring just inside where the end of the shifting lever is, that makes the lever "return" after you pull it back to shift. These springs can break and bind up. Take a look at both.
center console shifter? if so, likely could be a misadj shift cable, you can pull loose top cover per instruction maneul tells you how to get out of park till you can get it adj, or repaired
Pull hard on the steering wheel to the left and the steering wheel lock mechanism should release. I mean pull hard to left because shift interlock is froze if you cannot get it this way you will need a pro to help! Good Luck Mate.
Was a spring in the shifter, a $11 part.
