Hello,

It sounds like you might have a faulty shift interlock solenoid.
That solenoid is what triggers the shift lock to be removed when you depress the brake.
It is located under the shift lever. You will have to remove the console around the shift lever to access it.

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
