2002 Accord V6 Automatic

It is very difficult to get my Accord out of park. I have to press very hard and several times before I can get the gear shifter to get out of park. Once its in gear, there is no problem getting into any other gear. My break light is on too.

Any ideas on a solution.

Thx.

 

How do the brake lights work?
A flaky switch on the brake pedal will cause the brake lights to (sometimes) not work. Along with that, the same switch signals the shift lever to allow you to shift out of P.
