This happen to me in my nissan maxima and i had to do the same thing.
Check under the shifting mechanism for loose change or other small items that might have gotten stuck between the gears and baseplate. It also might be a failing solenoid.
or it could be a bad brake switch. check to see if you hear the click when you hit the brake. if not, you really need to see if the relay is gettin power to the shift lock solenoid. otherwise, id check the switch.
