Hi all! I just had this happen to me today when I got out of work. When I was going to work, some plastic crate pieces were scattered on the highway underpass. I thought I had gone around them all, but I drove over one piece and felt it hit the bottom of my car. I kept driving normally, got to work and forgot about it. When I was going home, the shifter was stuck in Park. I remembered driving over those plastic crate pieces and figured that's what caused it. I've never had any trouble with this 'til today, and my car is almost 11 years old. What's weird is that when I try to shift out of Park, I hear something clicking behind my instrument panel, so yeah, sounds like an eletrical issue. I had never used the Shift Release button before, so I was not sure how I was going to get home. I finally popped up the little cover, pushed in with my key and felt a small lever go down. That released the shifter and I can drive normally now. I just need to push in with the key everytime to get it out of Park 'til I can get it fixed. At least for now, my can't can't be easily stolen. LOL
