I have 07 Impala same thing happened to me & as I type my friend is having to replace the wires to make a firm connection to the BTSI selinoid switch - only problem I've had is finding the wiring & connector from Auto parts store - Finally was able to find & friend is replacing. If you take to Chevy dealership The cost is upwards of $600.00 The parts cost $18.26 for 3 wires, medal things to attach 2 wires - yellow wire broken - gear shifter won't come out of park Purple wire the key won't come out of ignition. Have absolutely no idea what the other 2 wires do. Good luck
The shift lever solenoid is going bad, you didnt mention if it was a column shifter lever or console shifter so i cant tell you how to bypass it, same problem with my chevy,hope this helps, you may need to get this done by a dealer or honest mechanic, if you can find 1, but im sure it will help you out if you look like you know what your talking about, im sure this is your problem! good luck

Push button start just stopped working. Already had to change the alternator
I just had the same thing happen. My 2008 Impala LTZ. Out doing errands and pulled in to parking spot. 30 minutes later went to leave and chrome button on gear shift would not push in to allow shifter to move out of park. Towed to Chevrolet dealer and they replaced a broken wire to shift lock solenoid, This has happened too many times not to be considered a recall.
