98 Honda Accord automatic gear shift gets locked in park. What is the problem?

What is your question?

My 98 4 cylinder Honda Accord automatic gear shift has started getting locked in park position. My break lights are working. My breaks have started screeching off and on when I apply them. Sometimes I can unlock gear shift by pressing hard on breaks, and sometimes this does not work. Do you have any idea what is going on? Is this a common problem that Honda will fix at no charge?

Make sure the brake lights are coming on when you step on the brake pedal. If the shifter doesn't recognize you stepping on the pedal the shifter will not come out of park. Or you could have a bad shifter interlock mechanism.
