There’s a switch next to the break pedal that needs to be replaced. I had the same problem with my 2003 Honda Odyzzey. I was able to get it out of park by inserting the van key in a slot between the steering wheel and the dashboard.(pushing down on the key/pull leaver to neutral) then turn van engine on.
