Make sure the shifter button is releasing all the way.

It's stuck in, so that's probably the reason it won't go into park. Do you know how to fix that?

Okay, so I've managed to get it into park now. The buttons still pressed in though and the keys will not come out... any ideas?

Tried rockin it but didn't help, tuner shop doesn't believe its the tranny like the dealer had told me. They think it's something lodged in there, but I've tooken the consol apart and found nothing. I'm afraid to go in more and just give the car to the tuners and hopefully they can figure it out. Dealer is crazy they wanted me to replace my TCU. A $1800 job. I told them they were wrong and didn't pay their diagnostic fee. If it was my TCU my gear light would be flashing on the dash and the car would act weird. They said if I replace it, it might fix it. Basically start throwing parts at it at my expense. Basically stay away from dealers. Chances are you know more than they do.
