I actually had this same problem with mine recently and the dealership had to replace the entire shifter assembly... Apparently the lever inside the shifter that hits the switches so the car knos what gear it's in got bent somehow and the indicator light would always stay on and I could put the car in gear without pushing down the brake or pushing in the button on the shifter. They had to order the assembly and it took them TWO DAYS to replace it (apparently they said it was a much bigger job than they anticipated), but they did it all under warranty and even gave me a loaner car.
