Default What is the problem when the car will not come out of PARK?

First off, I couldn't use the unlock button on the key to get in the car. I had to put the key in the door and unlock it. Then the car started fine, but I couldn't get it out of Park. I couldn't adjust my seats, the doors wouldn't lock/unlock with the button on the door. Finally after trying it over and over a few times, evrything worked fine. What could it have been? Please help. Thanks!

your brake light switch is probably not working properly behind teh pedal , listen for a click by the shifter when teh brake is pressed.

Do a search for the Service Manual on here, and go pick up the part. It's not too difficult.
