You have to hold down the brake pedal before you can take the car out of park.

he's right you have to hold your foot on brake pedal to get it out of gear..

Welcome to the forum!

As previously mentioned, you need to depress the brake pedal completely to shift from park. Are you pressing the brake pedal? If so, are you saying the brake lights don't seem to be as sensitive as they should be work don't seem to work reliably?

If that's the case, there is a brake pedal switch that may be intermittent and should be checked or replaced.

I would have to guess it was the brake light switch.
