Some Chrysler Pacifica owners report experiencing issues with their gear shift being stuck in park, which can prevent the vehicle from moving. These problems may stem from a faulty shift lock solenoid, a stuck parking brake, low transmission fluid, or damaged shift linkage. Additionally, issues with the shift interlock solenoid or brake pedal switch could also contribute to this situation, as these components are designed to ensure the shifter only moves out of park when the brake pedal is depressed. Common solutions include releasing the parking brake, adding transmission fluid, and overriding the shift interlock solenoid. Owners facing this issue are advised to check these potential causes and solutions to effectively troubleshoot and resolve the gear shift problem.
