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.

The most common cause is a broken spring retainer in the shifter assembly.
That is the solenoid releasing that only allows you to put the vehicle in gear when you have your foot on the brake.
Set the parking brake before you put the shift in park when parking.Take shift out of park before releasing the parking brake when driving.
Depress brake pedal. On a 2005-2008 there is a spring retainer that breaks inside the shifter.
