I went to get in my car tonight to leave and my console gear shift would not shift out of park. The gear shift button will not press in. Absolutely nothing! I have a 2007 Chevrolet Impala. Anyone know of this problem and what is the solution?
This just happened to my car and a friends as well. You have to take the console part off around your gear shift. If you look down around the parts area under where the gearshift parts are there is a round silver bolt looking piece. You have to push that bult piece in and then it will come out of park.
This is something that will always happen until you get it fixed. You might want to get a screw driver to use to help push in the round bolt with.
Broken wire in the center council near the shifter or a possible brake light switch is the issue. If you have brake lights I would go to the center council first. Seen many broken wires already most common problem.
Try to turn ignition forward without starting then try putting in neutral then start engine in put I'm appropriate gear had 2001 Ford that did this, just turn key forward without starting first
It
can be issue with gears or problem with transmission and needs to be rebuilt.
Also get the ****** fluid checked. If it's low, then such problems
occurs.

The
