Check for blown fuses, brake light switch function, the shift lock solenoid is not releasing. If you can’t find the problem check the owners manual for a manual override so you can shift it into gear and get it to a shop. Note: manual override resets after every use, so once you put it into park the override will have to be used again.

    I start my truck it drives fine for 10 minutes. After it warms up it won’t shift any more. It stays in first gear. I have no idea what the problem is. The truck was given to me.
