I did some google searching on "stuck in park" and "toyota stuck in park", which led to a lot of the information that I saw, to include some good help right here at TS.

Well, I went to see what I could do and the brake lights did not come on when applying brakes at first. A couple more times and they came on and I pulled the shifter out of park! I put it back in park and out again a few times and it worked fine but it did get stuck again and back to normal. I tried tonight and it works fine. I did notice one brake bulb out while driving behind her. I searched TS but did not find any information for a solution. If you could provide a link or two that would be great before I take it to the dealer.
