Last option (shift lock override) worked for us and saved us a tow. Thanks

[@evelynmcdonald683]

My lexus tried to get stuck on me today🙄 used this technique... it worked!😊 Thank you so much! God bless your precious soul❤

[@angtienho7287]

Thank you so much! I struggled with this problem, and I tried your first option, and it did work. I appreciate that! Keep your work up!!!!

[@MrEhawkk]

Thank you! Releasing the shift gear override worked for me! I was literally stuck making a delivery and was still in the driveway!

[@ddarling9783]

I can’t thank you enough for making this video. I got stuck at the bank drive-through, ended up using option three. Didn’t realise my brake lights and turn signals we’re out, thanks 1 million

[@LittleAngryCarrots]

Yikes. The anxiety u had there but same just realized my brake lights are out. Dammit

[@marcoscruz3751]

I got stuck at the bank drive-through too I was sooo mad 😂

[@alifaghih2]

Thank you so much you helped me get out of parking after frustrating work day. The override key option works for me. Have a corolla and all I have to do is to remove the cap and push down the key that was there. Thank you so much again for your helpful video.

Helpful video.perhaps, whenever my car was parked on hill I did usually find it hard to shift the transmission stick from park to either reverse or drive. Grateful!

[@angiealexander4964]

Hell yes! :-) I never would have dreamed of that for the answer but that was exactly what I had to do just rock the car a little bit forward put my foot on the brake and kapow it came out of the park thank you thank you thank you!

[@visualonestudio]

Dude you're great. Your advice was spot on. Thanks!

[@jsusan4109]

Praise the Lord! #1 worked. Thank you.

I had very old ford windstar. When I wasn't able to shift out of park I use the steps below: 1. I would have to restart engine and let it sit there for 5 minutes without doing anything first, then check that the gear is still in Park. I then step on brake, and see if i can shift gears. If yes, then good, 2. if not, my trick was to gently try to turn the steering wheel a little. If the wheel turns, then I have to shift gears quickly before it "freezes" again and everything‘s going to be ok. 3. If the wheel didn't turn at all, that means I had to restart engine and try again, usually i can turn the wheel and quickly shift gears while foot is on brake from start to finish. 4. If that still didn't work, the last option is to turn everything off, take the key out, reinsert key, restart engine and try to turn wheel, then it'll definitely let you shift gears. The key is as soon as you're able to turn the steering wheel, you should quickly shift gears. Time is of the essence. If you delay shifting gears after being able to turn the steering wheel, you will be back to square one.

[@HouseofYah66]

Thank you do much for this video! You saved me. Option 3 worked pe perfectly! Thumbs up to ya!

[@richardbarber3806]

My battery is dead. Would this cause the break switch to not engage and lock up the shifter?

[@davidhenderson1141]

Those three things that I try it didn't work is there anything else I could do to get it to make a shelf

[@duduki5]

Hello, why sometimes it hard to pull gear stick from "P" to "R" and sometimes perfectly ?! maybe there is some kind combination before stoping the car in parking ?!

[@genesisyothers408]

I’m having the same problem

[@dimitrilafleur4467]
