First my key would not release out of the ignition. I have to have something stuck up in the release button thingy to get it to release the key. Now the shifter will not move unless you depress the shift lock release button. Thank god I knew about the button because I would have been stuck over 100 miles away from home without any help in site. I have had other problems with this car but fortunately for me that was while the car was still under warranty. I'm sure my 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix SE isn't the only one with this problem.
