A gear shifter that won’t lock into park could be due to several issues, including a faulty shift interlock system, a malfunctioning brake light switch, or a problem with the transmission linkage. If the brake light switch is not working properly, it may not allow the shifter to move into the park position. Additionally, worn or damaged components in the shifter assembly could prevent it from engaging correctly. It’s advisable to consult a professional mechanic to diagnose and resolve the issue.

Why wont the shifter come of park without using the shift lock release button?
The shifter won't come out of park without using the shift lock release button because this feature is designed as a safety mechanism. It prevents accidental movement of the gear shifter, ensuring that the vehicle does not unintentionally roll or move while parked. The shift lock system typically requires the brake pedal to be engaged, allowing the driver to safely shift from park to another gear when necessary. If the system is malfunctioning, it may need inspection or repair.
