Sounds like the shifter is out of adjustment or a bad safety switch.
Head for your friendly auto shop before you park the car somewhere and forget to put the E-brake on.....

I agree with c4cruiser - get the car looked at by a good mechanic and have it fixed. Sure wouldn't want to have to always keep the car in neutral.

Well finally fixed the problem.its a fiber glass piece that is attached to transmission cable as i said cable is new but this fiber glass part is old so when i pushed the shifter to.park this part got open...what a stupidness to attached the shifter cable so close to exhaust..that place is always hot cable get warm...what a stupid idea i love c5's but this is something that they saw and even tho they didnt care..what a shame
