In order for the shift lock solenoid to release a stop lamp signal must be received. the 2 most common causes of an intermittent inop. shift lock solenoid would be (1) intermittently the stop lamps do not work (stop lamp switch, etc.) or (2) intermittently the shift lock solenoid receives power but does not operate (bad solenoid). There are certainly other possible causes but I'd begin by confirming the stop lamps turn on when the shift lock does not release. Hope this helps

Check your motor mount and make sure you let your car warm up b/c mine does that and if i let it warm up it works and when i replaced the motor mount it worked much better Does it shift rough???
SOURCE: Wont shift out of park unless I stick a screw driver in a small hole above gear shifter.
You must remove the console yes, and you need to replace the shift lock solenoid.

the most lickly in the shift cumputer. but with out testing it could be the shifter asembly.

The gear shift electrical relay or module inside it is not reading the signal to release. You need to have the electronic relay or module repaired or the gear shift assembly replaced.

The problem that I could see is the transmission/shift solenoid. The solenoid thing is located inside the transmission. The repair
should run $200-$250 or there abouts. If you don't fix it quickly
though, you will wreck the transmission and you don't want to know how
much that costs!
You may also contact the manufacturer for second opinion.
Hope this helps and have a great evening!
