I often encounter this issue with my Ford Escape, and I remember the gear shift emergency release switch is quite hidden. It's usually located near the gear shift lever, specifically on the side or front of the shift panel under a small button cover. You just need to lift the cover to press the switch and release the lock. This is mainly used to shift out of P gear when the battery is dead to prevent the car from getting stuck. The last time my car's battery was aging, I almost couldn't get out of the garage, but pressing the switch allowed me to manually push it into N gear to escape. It's good practice to develop a habit of checking it regularly, not just in emergencies—like referring to the manual or exploring similar button areas around the center console, as the location might vary slightly with different model years. In terms of maintenance, the average battery lifespan is 3-5 years, and timely replacement can avoid such embarrassing situations.
