Stuck in Park? Push fairly hard on brake, try it then. There should be an emergency release on the console. EIther a button next to the shifter on the base, a small hole that you can insert something into, nail, paperclip, ect., there may be a quarter size cover on the side of the console, probably on the passenger side. This is assuming there isn't something wrong with the transmission. Depending on where you live I suppose I could conceive of water, snow getting around the shift points on the transmission and freezing. Doubtful, but you might look at the top of the transmission just to rule it out.
if the shifter does not move the shift interlock may be bad
shifter is broke. my ranger was the same way. take the shifter off , and the ear on the other end will be broke. simple to fix. jus find another shifter like i did.
If the shifter will not move you have a mechanical or electric issued with the shifter. If the shifter does move you may have low fluid or a failed transmission.
Are you saying that the gear shifter will not move from park to drive or that when you shift to drive the vehicle will not move? We need more info.
If a Ford Focus is stuck in park, you should first check to make sure the gear is not stuck. You also need to make sure you have your foot on the brake in order to move it out of park.
You've probably torn the transmission up or broken a shift lever by abuse. At least, somebody did.
1) reduce throttle to idle speed 2) move gear shifter to Neutral position 3) move gear shifter to Reverse position.
i would look under neath at the transmition and see if the linkage is broke
If you cannot move the shifter out of the park position then you have a problem with the shifter cable or the brake safety lock. If you can move the shifter to the drive position, and it doesnt go in gear then you are a few quarts low on transmission fluid
Need more info. Are you saying that? 1. The vehicle won't go into reverse? 2. The vehicle shifter won't go into reverse? 3. The vehicle shifter won't move into reverse or drive?
It may be a broken or damage steering column. It may need to be replaced.
Move the car. If the fan belt moves, it's still in gear. Also would be fairly hard to move if in gear.
