What's wrong with my '98 Lincoln Continental suspension?
The shifter could be stuck for a few reasons. The steering wheel could have been in an awkward position before you shut the car off. Try to put the key in the accessory position and move the steering wheel and the tilt around, try the shifter. If that doesnt work, do that WHILE moving the shifter around.Another thing to try is to press down on the brake pedal really hard after you start the car, see if it will move then.
Good luck.

Sounds like the linkage is either binding or broken between the shifter and the transmission.Does anyone own, or have driven a Mercedes SLK 200K?
Shouldn't happen on a car that new though. Are you parked on a really steep hill?

Believe it or not...the problem is not in your transmission, it's a little switch in your break system.The car is designed not to shift out of park unless the brake pedal is being pressed.
If that's the case, it shouldn't cost more than $100.00 for your dealer to replace it.
Before you spend the money, pump the brake. The switch might just be stuck.

duck tape fixes everythingGM did have a problem with some of their shifter knobs. The locking unit on this knob was defective & would cause the same thing. Just a matter of replacing the knob & retaining clip which holds it in place.
