Parking Brake Stuck

Is your Terrain parked on a hill? If so, then the force of gravity could be forcing your transmission to put pressure on the parking lock in the transmission.

If this is what happened to your Terrain, it is good news since it's pretty easy to fix. This happens a lot when you don't use a parking brake on a hill. It can happen to any vehicle, at any age or mileage. Getting it unstuck can be easy, but also a little dangerous since you'll need to rock the vehicle. The best way to rock it is from the driver's seat. Just throw your weight around. Proceed at your own risk.

What you're going to need to do is safely:

  • Turn the vehicle engine on.
  • Rock the vehicle with your foot off the brake.
  • Press the brake down when you have rocked toward the hill a bit. You want to "catch" it with the brake at the right time. This will take pressure off of the parking lock.
  • Apply light pressure to the shifter. You don't want to break the shift linkage.
