I have a 2004 trailblazer. For no reason the gear shifter became stuck in Reverse, the car will not start because I can't put the car in Park or Neutral. What could be wrong?

Are you on an incline? If so try rocking your vehicle forward and backward with others helping you. Your transmission may be bound. While the vehicle is rocking you should be able to shift the transmission into neutral.

I am having the same problem with my 2004 XJ8. The shifter is in the park position but the reverse light is on. The car thinks it is reverse despite the shifter postion at park. I am unable to get it out of park position or start the engine.

2004 Chevy Trailblazer Gear Shifter Moves But Will NOT shift into gear ..Came home from shopping put her in park.. Then couple hours later cranked up to go again, shifter moves loosely... The car is in...

The end of the shift cable has broken, there is a plastic ring at the transmission end of the cable that breaks. You will need to have it towed to the mechanic.

Gear locks when i park on even a slight incline

ALWAYS engage the Parking Brake BEFORE putting car into "Park". When you want to get out of "Park", put your foot on the brake pedal, move gear shifter into desired gear, THEN take down Parking Brake. If you get stuck (gear shifter doesn't move), then try the "rocking" method (recruit 1 or 2 folks to push your car from behind while you try to move gear shifter into desired gear). Good luck!
