2003 Accord LX Not Shifting Out of Park on Random Occurances

Car starts fine but sometimes (more in the morning) the car will not shift out of park. The parking brake is not on. After awhile it will work perfectly again.
I am thinking it might be transmission or a problem with the brake pedal?

Can you hear or feel a "click" in your gear selector when you hit the brakes? If you don't, the solenoid that disengages the lock could be sticking.

Car won't start? You hit the key. Nothing. Try this on ANY car.

Your car runs fine. Then 1 day you go out to start it and get no response. It won't crank. It won't even try to start. Nothing. What the heck is going on?
Try starting it in neutral. This trick can work on any make or model of any age.
There is a safety switch that will not allow the starter to engage in any gears, except park and neutral. Sometimes the shift lever indicates park, but the actual linkage is just barely in park. Enough to park the car and get your keys out, but not enough to trip that neutral safety switch.
You can, also, try firmly shifting in and out of park a few times. This may realign the indicator and the linkage. Good luck

Having automatic shifting problem 1992 honda accord lx 2.2

Sounds like a month or two at most of normal driving before your transmission completely gives up. How many miles are on the vehicle and has the transmission ever been serviced? Also make sure it has enough tranny fluid, as this will cause it not to want to come out of park. good luck.

2006 honda accord: key stuck in ACC position. won't turn to O position to remove from ignition. car starts fine and is in park.

The same thing happened to my 2003 Honda Accord...took it to the dealership, and they had to replace my shift lever entirely. Something about the cable between the ignition and shift lever not being read correctly...(basically, my car is not reading that it's actually in park and therefore won't release the key)....

2004 honda accord wont come out of park. Starts fine. Brake is pushed, etc. Daughters car and Im in another state right now.

Do the brake lights work, if not you need a brake light switch. The brake switch controls the interlock system which prevents you from shifting out of park without your foot on the brake.
