Shifter is stuck in park and car says it's in neutral

Thanks! I had this problem had to get the sensor replaced all fixed!

When I press on the brakes the gear shift wont allow me to go to drive. Whats worng with it?

Also I do not know if my car is a 2 wheel drive or a 6 cyl as well.

My gear shift is stuck in park and will not move. We have tried to mess with the nuetral release but nothing. Any ideas?

You can't take the console out while the shifter is stuck in park and you can't move the shifter without the console out. But, take the trim ring off around the shifter. Carefully lift it by hand, it pulls off. Look thru the crack on the left of the shifter. There's a pink plastic lever with a silver wire attached to it. Push this toward the rear of the car with a flat screwdriver while the car is running and your foot is on the brake pedal. The shifter will release from park. Leave it in neutral, turn the car off, block the wheels and then continue to remove the center console. My car had the spring broken off at the pink part. I found the small spring laying under the console and I drilled a hole thru the pink plastic lever because the hook busted off the pink lever. Bend the spring eyelet and thread it thru the hole you drill. Now, that's better than new. Any Chrysler engineers out there? Take some notes!

You bet your a$$ that fixed it. Knew is was something stupid. This car just 'feels' cheap.

Great but I think I need a mechanic to do it because I pushed the pink thing back, but it wont go all the way back, I dont have enough force. I tried but I think it needs a mans force. How much do you think a mechanic will charge to do that?

Also I pushed it as hard as I could too.

I tried this but I had difficulty removing the center console. My car has the same problem but it is a 2008 Sebring convertible. What is the easiest way to remove the center console?

2007 Chrysler Sebring. Stuck in Park.

There's a recall on this, almost caused me to loss my job cuz no one to help me get it going. I paid a auto tow service which luckily didn't charge me anymore to take to a dealer who I paid over $200 to fix. However several months later Chrysler sent me a recall note about the issue. They did refund after taking time and money to send the repair and payment info to them. Look on your insurance website for the recall info for your specific car, sorry I've forgotten the recall info and don't have handy but its easy to find. Hope this helps quicken the fix and gets you going again soon!

Gear shift currently stuck in park; drove vehicle day before all day with no issues or notice by car of any issues.

Why is my car stuck in park and the gearshift will not change.

I'm looking to purchase this used car, and the transmission has been replaced and now when the car is in drive the shifter shows it is in neutral. The car drives fine, no slipping or problems shifting from gear to gear but I'm wondering if I should be concerned by the indicator no showing the right position?

Thank you Zackman.
