Hi there. Sometimes the shifting gear from P to R, N or D fails, it jams and I press the brakes hard too, after a few times then it shifts. Could you please tell me what is the problem?

Thi should be a problem with the shift interlock system. Check and ensure the brake lights are working at all times. It can be the shafter cable as well here are instructions in the diagrams below to help you fix the problem.

Has the check engine light come on? Is the trans fluid clean and full? Has anyone checked the shift solenoids?
