Hyundai Stuck in Park - How to Manual Release Shifter

i have a 2015 Sonata.. my first and my last, never again hyundai.. since when are all your parts dealer only....who does this.. i replaced the brake light switch, then replaced the shifter, and still no shift... my car also sometimes get stuck in limp mode and the riverside hyundai dealership still doesnt know why.... engine recall at 150k miles... i should have traded it in then,,, so many problems so many issues... after i pay it off im driving it to the wrecking yard so no one else gets this piece of shit..... hyundai is a joke.... ... please dont buy another sonata no matter what year,, it will give you nothing but problems.... im so tired of sticking a screw driver into that slot almost 8 months now....... id like to drive it through the window of a dealership.. so they can have this junky car back

This only happens on very hot days. How do I fix this?

If your car won't come out of park it could be the break light fuse. Check that your rear light come on when the peddle is pressed if not the fuse may be blown. Look for the fuse STOP and replace the fuse (use the cigarette fuse for a quick fix)

All the lights came on the dash. Then it wont go into gear

My 2018 Hyundai Sonata had the gear lock up, though the dashboard lights, radio, etc., functioned as normal. I could not remedy this. WORSE I could not get ANY service from the local Hyundai service departments in two cities. This is both unacceptable and ... in fact ... given that we are presently enduring a national emergency, a disgrace. I find it especially bad, because, coming from the computer industry, we have a completely different attitude toward customers, especially those who purchase large budget items, whether software or hardware. The statement, "We will not put our master technicians on the phone to talk to you," is despicable. Unfortunately, we're new Hyundai customers, having purchased both a new Sonata a couple years ago, and more recently, a Kona. I will dump this car as soon as I can NOT because it may be a simple solution, whatever the problem BUT because the service people at the Hyundai dealerships behaved like jerks and did not even care to provide a solution. Now I was in a hurry to an appointment on a Saturday. One dealership 50 miles away said, "Let's tow it, and take a look at it." Thanks but no thanks. I still don't have a solution yet. But if it turns out to be a simple fix, I'll do what I can to broadcast this monstrous disregard for American customers as far and as wide as I can propagate the information. My advice: NEVER BUY A HYUNDAI.

My Hyundai sonata y20 2012 the lights came on the dash Abs light and brake light . Then it wont go into gear . My battery is good, key ignition is good, brake light come on .. plz help any advice

This also is happening to our 2014 Elantra on the hottest of days.

2011 Hyundai Sonata I am getting sick of this happening we are getting ready to put another new one this will be the second one within a month. The other day we went to go to Church and stuck the screw driver in and the car would not come out of park. I only have 80,000 miles on this car and in all my 71 years have I had so many recalls or extended warranties on any vehicles I have owned.

In my case, my 2011 elanta wont fo out of park and it has the traction control, abs,emergency brake, eps, and tire pressure lights all stay on on the dashboard.

If you own a Hyundai Sonata and want to find out more, call Hyundai customer service at 800-633-5151 and give them recall number 119. Read what owners complain about the most about their Hyundai Sonata.

In older cars without the shift lock bypass switch (2002), you can push thru it.

Experienced dead Battery and lost complete power. Battery was replaced and I regained power. However car was stuck in park until I depressed release. What is the sustainable solution?

My car is doing the same exact thing. Did you figure out what it was. And with mine i cant connect to the computer

Is this situation going to be a recall. I'm sick and tired of this defect preventing me from getting to work or home at night?
