Shifter button not working on my 2001 jeep grand cherokee

In most cases the shifter button is controlled by a solenoid activated by a switch on the brake pedal when the pedal is depressed. If the button will not release there may be a problem with the brake pedal switch ( Do the brake lights work when the pedal is pushed? ) the shifter release solenoid or wiring. There may be an override to release the button somewhere near the shifter. Check owners manual to see if equipped with safety release button

1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee brake pedal goes all the way to the floor. Recently replaced calipers and master cylinder and bled the whole system. Brake pedal goes all the way to the floor when first pushed...

Not bleed properly
or you have a rusted out line (leak)

There is NO Procedure-- that when driving a
vehicle or bleeding brakes,do you ever pump them

Have no brake pressure, pedal goes straight to floor, put on new calipers and pads and bled the lines but I am no better off.

Sounds like a bad brake booster. To test, pump up the brakes with the engine off. While holding the brake pedal down,start the car. The brake pedal should drop a couple of inches and hold. If it doesn't, replace the booster.

2000 jeep grand ckee push on brake pedal and hissing noise gets loud release pedal and it gets quiter pedal does not get hard to push down but if held will slowly sink to floor

could be one of several problems. first check your brake fluid level, if its low then add some and before you replace the cover try and reset the rubber end back up into itself. if one of the chambers is empty then you'll need to fill it back up and bleed the brakes. if after you refill the resevior and it keeps happening you will need to check the lines for a leak. if the brake fluid is good then you might have a problem with the vacuum assist and you'll want to take it to a mechanic.

2006 jeep grand cherokee brake pedal goes to the floor intermittantly

That problem is the first warning that the brake master cylinder is beginning to fail. It is internally bypassing.

The brake lights on my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee won't shut off.

The brake light switch is defective or out of adjustment. More than likely located on the brake pedal arm near the top.

Changed front brake pads. brake pedal goes to floor. no brakes

Something doesn't sound right, you shouldn't have to remove the brake line to install pads. Did you have to do this on both sides? Do the new pads and the old pads look the same? Did you get the caliper on crooked? Just recheck your work first before replacing more parts. When you install the caliper, You have to hook the pad on one side first before you slide it over the rotor.
