A 2007 Chrysler Sebring that will not shift out of Park will probably need a shift solenoid replaced. This is inside the transmission and the transmission might have to be taken out of the vehicle to be fixed.
If it is a 2007-2010 there is a spring retainer on the shifter that breaks.
Possibly the brake light switch is bad. I had a recall on a Ford Taurus that spoke of this problem. The brake light switch releases a solenoid that holds the shifter in park.
There is a spring retainer in the shifter assembly that is prone to breaking.

Depress brake pedal. On a 2005-2008 there is a spring retainer that breaks inside the shifter.
