Can't get car get out of park and brake is making a lot of air noise?
1999 Honda Accord EX 2 Door Coupe
Just recently I have had a problem with my car where it will not come out of being locked in park. When I press on the break, it sounds like someone is letting air out of an air mattress. After fooling with it a couple minutes, it will let me move it into drive and work just fine. What is wrong with it? I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but it had been very hot lately.
The brake booster has leak and in need of a replacement. It's right behind the brake master cylinder, this is what it look like:

Now, the hard to shift out of park position is the shift interlock system need to be test, the most common cause is the brake light switch has failed. Do the brake lights come on when you step on the brake pedal? If not, the fuse for the brake light has blown or the brake light switch has failed.
If the brake lights came on when the pedal is depress, then the shift interlock solenoid locates under the shifter handle at the center console need to be test out and replace if defected.
E mail if you need more help. There are videos at youtube.com will show you how to check or replace the defect components. This is one of the sites that I've used from time to time to help other members:

- Buying my first car and want to choose the right car I need something with a lot of room and thats safe? I've been looking at the honda crv, kia sorento, chevy traverse/equinox, acura mdx/rdx, nissan maxima and buick enclave. I really want something thats going to last atleast (6-8) years without having to replace the transmission or engine I want something very reliable and i'm willing to pay more for something that will last than having to replace major parts in a short time thanks for your help!
- My car won't move in any gear under its own power but rolls in park while making a grinding noise I drive a 08 Honda Civic LX automatic. Yesterday I tried to take off from a stop and heard a loud metal snapping sound followed by loud grinding. Then it wouldn t move under its own power in any gear even reverse. It starts just fine, even idles as if nothing s wrong, will rev too. I have to have the emergency brake on because it rolls in park. In park it also makes grinding noises.
