When I start the uplander it wont come out of park
SOURCE: BRAKE LIGHTS AND SHIFT INTERLOCK NOT WORKING
Hello Joe...The Aveo has had it shares of problems, and this is one of them....NHTSA issued several bulletins on the 04 Aveo...this following is the one pertaining to the shift interlock.....
Make : CHEVROLET Model : AVEO Year : 2004
Manufacturer : GENERAL MOTORS CORP.
Service Bulletin Num : 070730007 Date of Bulletin: APR 01, 2007
NHTSA Item Number: 10022265
Component: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Summary:
AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER MAY NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK (REPLACE BRAKE TRANSAXLE SHIFT INTERLOCK (BTSI) SOLENOID). *KB
Take that bulletin number to your dealer and see if they can help.
Untill you can get it repaired heres a little tip for getting it out of park....There is a a little hole in front of their gearshift lever that can correct the problem, temporarily. It should say "brake interlock release" or something like that. With car running, put a key-size object into it and push down while moving the lever. It does not damage the transmission, it just releases the lock. (make sure your foot is on the brake)
Now for the brake light issue...do you have power at the switch you replaced? If so go to the relay and check there...if no power there it's probably a bad ground.
Also...you may or may not know, but the timing belts on these Aveos are prone to failure at aprox 50k ...these failures have caused severe engine damage.
Good luck...i hope the information i've provided you find useful.
Please time to rate me.

Take it back to the dealer/supplier - it should be fixed under warranty.
If you can't get it back to supplier, take it to the nearest repair/service shop that is authorised to perform manufacturer warranty work.

Check the fluid level, if possible and fill until full when at normal operating temperature.
If this doesn't solve the problem, maybe consider a flush and fill of the transmission fluid, with the understanding that if this doesn't solve the problem, a rebuild may be required at that point.
Typical price for a flush and fill will be about $100.
Good luck on this repair.

The problem is the shift cable out of adjustment or broken. There is an adjustment tab in the cable, usually at the top of the tranny (sometimes at the shifter in the colomn). Readjust cable or new cable in neutral position.
