Hi there, There is a switch on the brake pedal that activates safety switch on the gear selector, this is so children cant engage the transmission in to drive easily causing an accident. Get this safety lock out checked out have a look at the owners manual there may be an override that will allow you to get it to a work shop to be repaired. I have added some information as well.
