2002 DODGE DURANGO. WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK
I had the same problem (will not shift out of park) with my 03 Durango with column shifter, worked on it and found the issue to be a pin that comes out in the steering column to block the shifter when the truck is turned off in park. When you turn the truck back on the motion of the key switch is supposed to allow the pin to retract so you can shift. In cold weather mine acts up. It looks like the pin is retracted with a spring and there may be some grease in the system that hangs the pin up in cold weather. Cleaning the parts may be a fix but to get mine working I pulled the boot that surrounds the shifter lever out of place and then the pin can be seen. A push on the pin with the key on and it retracted so I could shift. I think I will just leave the boot out until it warms up and I can try some presserized oil free cleaner on the parts.
Well atermleaving my car set for a few hours .I went back up to the store and pushed in the pin by hand.Took it to my mechanic all he did was grease up the pin in the shift column and i havent had any trouble since.Good luck all .Thanks for the help

I have a Durango of the same year. The problem is the shift cable. It will bind from time to time. Like any cable of that sort, the inside relies on lubrication, although it can not be lubricated, it comes lubed up from the factory. Early into the problem, it will free up when the vehicle warms up, because the lubricant loosens up.
In short, if you replace the shift cable your problem will be solved.

Ok if this is going on 9 out of 10 times it is from the switch from your brake deppresion sen- under the dash. comman problem with these models.

it is your interlock solenoid or switch on your brake pedal. This keeps you from starting your car in anything but park.

My car wont let me shift out of park. I have to push in this button that is blocking my shift gear to move it. How can I fix it for good so I wont have to keep on pushing the button?
MY 2002 durango is sitting at the local store.No problems then all of a sudden its stuck in park HELP
My truck was fine and i went to pick my daughter up and parked came out and BAMB stuck in park. This is what i did. I placed in in 4 wheel drive and gave it a little gas, this put it into drive. I had someone follow me home. On the way home it made a quick **** a noise and I haven't had the problem since. It was like it just wasn't sure and I just had to show it who was the boss. Love my truck, I am however noticing the recalls do seem to be a lot. Cin
My truck will not shift out of park about half the time. We have discovered we can push in the little lock mechanism with a screw driver after the ignition is on and that is a good temporary fix. I am guessing cleaning and lubing the part will fix the issue as that is what worked with the ignition earlier this winter when it kept getting stuck.
