Has anyone had this happen? Sometimes it takes several times stepping on the brake pedal to get the gear selector to move. I’m afraid to drive the car now as it may strand me somewhere. I’m hoping it might be the switch on the brake pedal instead of the part connected to the ignition switch. Can anyone help? Thanks, JT
 
I've had that problem only twice. Both times I was parked on an incline. Not sure if that was the cause but I make sure not to do that anymore.
 
have someone check your brake lights. Pump them a number of times if it is the switch your brake lights wont work either
