Are you talking about the button on the shifter knob itself? If so, that's how it is designed to work so it can't accidentally be moved to a different position.

Likely an electrical problem. I believe there's a solenoid of some sort that can prevent it from shifting our of park if its not getting power. Also with mine I sometimes had to push straight down on the shifter and then it would work. I think something was broken that allowed the shifter to move up and not engage properly. Sorry, not great advice here, but maybe something you can use.
