Well, this is the first time I've ever taken my Ford Taurus in for repairs. Last night while getting ready to go over to Heather's house to watch LoTR:TTT, my car wouldn't shift out of park. No matter what I tried and how hard I pulled on the shifter, it would just sit in park. So after googling a bit, I found out that the brake light switch went bad. Essentially it's a little switch/fuse in the brake pedal that tells the computer inside that the brake is depressed and thus should allow the shifter to move. (It also made it so my brake lights would function). So I found in the manual that you can get around this manually by turning the car on (not the engine) then shifting to neutral, then turning the engine on. So I did that this morning and took it to Villa Ford. After about 45 minutes they returned it to me good as new. Shrug. Oh well.
