Park lock out failed.!
moving in park is shift cable failure.! (or either end bits)
the operators guide, shows the steps to bypass the park lock out
it shows a hidden device near the shifter.,
got that book? lost it?
you activate that, and that allows shifting out park.
a nice feature to tow a dead engine car.
now made illegal thanks to US GOBment.
to fix it we have the drawings to diagnose it.
got a volt meter?
first is :
1; check fuses first.
2: make sure brake lamp (rear or car) work.
3: check park solenoid voltage?
I would make sure your shifter cable is intact and the transmission is actually in park. The safety switch is located on the transmission and if the shift cable is not moving the shift linkage all of the way into park the car will still roll, and will not start in gear.

I had the same problem. The interlock was not the problem. I had the shifter replaced (at my own expense because drive train warranty would not cover). After examining the old shifter discovered source of problem is a plastic cam on the front of ths shifter. A tiny PLASTIC ear which connects to a small spring had broken off. I repaired this by putting in a small screw where the ear had been. Incidentally, my tow truck driver had also seen the same problem on several Chrysler 300s. In my estimation this is a poor design on Chrysler's part.
SOURCE: shift gear is locked cannot shift out of park gear
I had the same problem but my cousing, who is a mechanic, opened the whole thing up and removed the safety catch. Now, this is not the best of ideas because the car will shift now without your foot being on the brake but I have had it this way for a while and no troubles shifting in or out anymore.
SOURCE: gear linkage loose so wont stay in park, car rolls
loosen up the linkage at the transmission a little,click the linkage i click on the transmission(shift it manually to reverse),put the gear selector in the car in reverse,then tighten the linkage.see if that helps.
SOURCE: My gear shift is stuck and will not move from park
do the brake lights work? the system has a lock out that keeps you from moving out of park unless the brake circuit is activated, hence no brake lights no park lock out release, if the brk lights do work u most have a stuck or defective park lock out solenoid.

You'll need to get under the truck on the side of the trans (driver side) there will be an adjustment, looesen it move leveler all the way to park and tien nut.
