This is due to the shift interlock not releasing however, this may be due to the brake on off switch not working. Also called a brake pedal position switch.
If the brake lights do not work then the switch is the issue. However, if the brake lights are working when you press the pedal then we need to go to the actuator.
I attached all the info you need to replace the actuator. I suspect this is the issue and the easy way to confirm this is to listen for a click in the column when pressing the brake pedal and the brake lights are working.
Here is a video on the brake light switch on a different vehicle but the process is the same even through it will look a little different:
