I consulted a Nissan master technician on this one, the Altima does not have auto locks, other owners have posted your same question as well and the experts answer is the Altima not equipped with this feature.

SOURCE: 2006 Nissan X Trail Gear Shift Stuck in Park.

This is not a permanent fix, but you'll be able to shift and drive...this is a "safety feature" when you're break lights aren't working...it may be a fuse issue, i found that didn't help either.

How to drive it while it's "broken" On the top left of your gear shift is circle that looks like a button that is only 3/4 there...see picture (it's circled in red)

e024280.jpg
pry that off with a key or something... now restart your car, push on the break and at the same time insert a key or something into the now open hole...while pushing down use the other key to shift into reverse. You will need to do the same thing to shift back into park.

Good heavens that is the most inneficient safety feature I've ever heard of. How about instead of leaving the car immoble and keeping you in a scetchy neihborhood to get mugged they just "invent" a warning light notification. grr

Car accelerates itself
what year car, all are different, no year, no real help.

please do elaborate that
im doing what?
is this a problem parked, (in parking , implies you are stopping while driving?) what?
does this failure, happen, in PARK? (shift lever in park)
or is parking a verb, in that, im going to park but are attempting it.

questions.
is engine hot or cold, does it fail in hot or cold only or both.
the dash gauge shows, the engine temperature, a key fact.

are the floor mats hitting the gas pedal. like on most toyota's it seems?
are your feet, hitting the wrong pedals,
driving with snow ski boots?
if the fuel pedal is not sticking, then its a real problem.
for sure dont drive car... like this. if it is a real engine problem.

and yes, all cars can fail and do that.
just sticking throttle , and bingo.

Symptoms 2000 kia sportage Symptoms 2000 kia sportage does not do all the time. Starts runs well but driving road 50mph almost as if ignition shut off split 2nd. Stop car and while running in drive s
Some makers used Vacuum releases for their emergency brakes which had a Vacuum switch connected to the shift assembly. This would account for a stumble if Vacuum vented out through this switch.

More common for shifting stumble to occur from Park to Drive, engaging a load on the engine, not to stumble to a freewheeling Park position. Sounds like idle speed control is sluggish to stabilize the motor.

You also have idle speed control problem with A/C, kind of shows that A/C was what kept the engine running because when you turned the A/C off, the car died.

I am going to give you some Websites for wiring diagrams. Alldatadiy.com amd Autozone.com with free wiring info upon registering your vehicle.

It seems that the base Idle speed control is not working and the A/C idle speed control is.

Also check for Vacuum leaks on the intake manifold by spraying water from a pumpbottle on the seams of the gaskets.

Check ignition Relay or ignition switch for random cutouts. The fusebox layout is on the Autozone site.

I hope my solution helps.

1996 nissan maxima overheating
i believe the question was explained as fans work!! why all the fan inop answers?? anyway...you will need to check the water pump first...if you change it then make sure your cataltic converters are not plugged. from there its ussually a combustion leak from cracked or defective head gaskets due to the mileage. if it stays cool at idle its deff not a cooling fan problem..the fans only are used primary at idle. hope this helps

Oil change tech says my idle relearn needs fixing on my 2001 Yukon XL...can my husband do this?
{: ) Anytime the powertrain control module (PCM) or the battery is disconnected, the PCM loses power, or the PCM is reprogrammed, the PCMs learned idle position is lost. The engine idle is unstable when the learned idle position is lost. For a 2001 Yukon XL, you can try these steps: Automatic Transmission
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Restore the PCM battery feed. ( IF it was disconnected)
  3. Turn OFF the A/C controls.
  4. Set the parking brake and block the drive wheels.
  5. Start the engine.
  6. Ensure that the engine coolant temperature is more than 80°C (176°F).
  7. Shift the transmission into Drive.
  8. Allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes.
  9. Shift the transmission into Park.
  10. Allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes.
  11. Turn OFF the engine for 30 seconds.
Manual Transmission
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Restore the PCM battery feed. (IF it was disconnected)
  3. Turn OFF the A/C controls.
  4. Set the parking brake and block the drive wheels.
  5. Place the transmission in Neutral.
  6. Start the engine.
  7. Ensure that the engine coolant temperature is more than 80°C (176°F).
  8. Allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes.
  9. Turn OFF the engine for 30 seconds.
After the procedure, you can do testing and observations. If unsuccessful, you may repeat the steps.
Also, the best time to relearn idle is after a throttle body clean (from carbon deposits)

Overheating at idle
sounds like a partially plugged radiator. Colder temps will be OK but when weather warms up the problem shows up too...check for leaves etc between the radiator and ac condenser before doing anything else. Stuff on the outside will act the same way as an internal obstruction.
