While driving uphill at 30 mph, your engine didn't respond when you pressed the accelerator, you heard a noise, and the parking brake warning light came on. After pulling over, you got stuck in Park and couldn't shift into Drive until you turned the car off and restarted it several times. This problem happened multiple times, but the dealer couldn't reproduce it to diagnose the issue. The problem may involve the parking brake system or transmission shift mechanism preventing normal operation.
