Hello,

It sounds like an issue with the shift interlock relay.
When you press the brake pedal, that relay triggers the shift interlock to be released. When this fails it will not let you shift out of park.

Check the relay located in the fuse box, left side of the instrument panel.
Visually check for any corrosions or bunt pin(s).
You can also test the relay.

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
