Shift into park or stop at lights and stalls etc could be a bad fuel filter.
Definately wiring/electrical problem. Check for electrical anomolies related to your park interlock.
You have to unplug the electronic speedometer sensor located on the top rear of the transmission. It can be reached from above but its easiest to find with a lift. I have a 1990 cavalier and it has the same issue. I think its a problem with the sensor module that the speedo reader plugs into.
If you can turn your steering wheel with the key on, then more than likely your brake sensing switch is bad. This switch senses the brake pedal being pushed down,..which must be done on these models in order to shift out of park. The brake shift interlock feature prevents the vehicle from being shifted from park unless the brake pedal is depressed.
When we have this problem, we turn the ignition off and shift into neutral, restart the engine and it can then be shifted into drive or reverse.
A car might stall when shifting from park to reverse if the idle is set too low. It is also possible that the engine stalls because it is not fully warmed up before shifting from park to reverse.
You have a vacuum leak somewhere, a problem with the idle air control valve, or carbon buildup on the throttle plate. Rick I'm a retired ASE Master/L-1 Technician.

Yes, check it on a level surface with the engine running and the gear shift selector in neutral or park. Check it after the engine has warmed up.
GM has progammable automatic door locks. These Modes and instructions are from the owners manual of a 2000 Grand Am. Mode 1 = All doors lock when shifted out of PARK, all doors unlock when shifted into PARK and TURNED OFF. Mode 2 = All doors lock when shifted out of PARK, only drivers door unlock in PARK and TURNED OFF (MODE 2 ONLY WORKS WITH REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY.) Mode 3 = All doors lock when shifted out of PARK, no auto unlock. Mode 4 = No auto lock or unlock. If you don't have an Owners Manual try these steps to program. Close all doors and turn key to ON (DO NOT START) hold LOCK on lock switch for 10 seconds, release when you hear chime. Count the number of chimes you hear, this is the number mode your car is in. Press and hold LOCK until the number of chimes match the number mode you want. I'm sorry i have no answer for your mirror problem. Good Luck!
there is a dipstick should be on the right hand side of the transmission. make sure you check it with the car warmed up and on a flat surface in park or neutral
it is being built on the old Exxon site on Park Ave in Florham Park.
The A/T P (automatic transmission park) indicator on the dash normally illuminates when the vehicle may be in danger of drifting, due to the transfer case being shifted into neutral. This (drift) can happen even when the transmission is in park - since the transfer case effectively disconnects the upper drivetrain, when shifted out-of-gear. If the transfer case is properly shifted in H or L ranges (not neutral) and the indicator is illuminated, then there may be an adjustment needed in linkages or switch positions or even a malfunction in the circuit, such as a bad switch (i.e neutral safety, transfer indicator) or in the other associated electrical components. The Toyota A340F transmission manual contains troubleshooting procedures for determining such malfunctions, including the false indication of an A/T P lamp, (visible on the dash combination meter).
Through the dipstick tube where the indicator inserts. Be sure to have the car warmed up, running at idle, in park when you check the automatic transmission fluid.
