AnswerCheck the park safety relay and the associated switch on the brake pedal. Most vehicles will not allow you to shift into gear without having your foot on the brake pedal. If any part of that mechanism is out of adjustment or has failed, you may not be able to shift out of park.

*my safety switch broke twice already and I just twist the key half way-put it in neutral-start engine and then put it in gear. You can manually pull the switch up=I learned exactly wear to stick my hand and pull up on the switch and it will go out of park.

I just got sick of it sticking....you can spray lubricant on it.
