Question my van 2016 .. I turn car off then on then it goes into gear .. why does it do that ? Can a check engine light from another issue throw it off ?? As I have a cylinder 3 injector code . Getting repaired Monday .. this gear thing didn’t occur until today a day after check engine lite came on

[@QuiteAlright]

Hi, unfortunately I've never heard of that problem and can't give an advice. Could be somehow connected to the check engine light, but more thorough diagnostic would have to be done

[@tonylemminger]

Here's my problem. I did all this but the shifter is still stuck in park and the button is still "engaged". What the heck do I do?

[@QuiteAlright]

Hmmm try jiggling the key in the ignition lock from off to on and see if that releases the shifter. if not it might be a problem with interlock solenoid or brake switch. Hard to say without looking at the vehicle

[@tonylemminger]

@@QuiteAlright I'll give it a try. Thank you!

[@QuiteAlright]

@@tonylemminger You're welcome. Good luck

[@southfloridastreetcars6019]

Hey boss if I unlock it and I can get it to work but as soon as I put it back in park it locks again. What could it be?

[@QuiteAlright]

Hey most likely problem is the brake light switch or maybe interlock solenoid. That's where I would look at first

[@southfloridastreetcars6019]

[@QuiteAlright]

[@rojramos9306]

​@@southfloridastreetcars6019whats the fix? Did you replace the brake light switch or the solenoid? I experienced the problem today 😢

[@Dowhatyoucandonow]

So what causes it not to shift out of park with foot on brake? A brake switch?

[@QuiteAlright]

Hi, Yes it could be brake switch or shift lock solenoid

[@NeedAmericaback]

Do you know what causes this problem

[@grillscheese1805]

Not yet, but Dodge does, as they have added the button to the car as a featured. I believe it's in the owner manual, but not why they need the button.... Design flaw???

[@nickelrionne]

Thank you sooooo much 😅😮😂❤❤❤❤

[@QuiteAlright]

You are very welcome ;)

[@biggynthesmallz]

Did u ever have the key stuck and can’t remove it ?

[@QuiteAlright]

Yes many times. Usually it is a problem with the ignition lock / cylinder. Also it could happen if shifter is not in P mode. Try jiggling the key, unlocking the steering wheel if it is locked or shaking the shifter. If nothing works somebody will have to look at that lock

[@Jorgeayalagarcia]

Thanks 👍

[@QuiteAlright]

No problem 👍

[@FloresOriginals]

I thought it was the transmission!!
