Shifter is locked in Park V70-XC70 2008

I have the XC70 model that has the shift lock release behind the center console. the shift lock has been engaging occassionally for several years. The tech says that it was a programming issue. Since I was able to use the lock release behind the console, I didnt take it to the Volvo dealer, 50 miles away. recently when it locked up, the release trick didnt work and I had to have it towed. when the dealer recieved it, it was no longer locked and they are not able to diagnose the issue. Anyone have any experience with this problem? A computer issue?

thanks, Jim

    I had the same problem with our 96 855R FAR away from home. I checked the switch on the brake pedal without success.

    I fiddled with the shift lever and eventually got it out of park. We drove home 1000 miles without putting the car in park.

    At home I took the console apart and found no apparent problem with the linkage, but it did not go down enough to unlock the lever.

    I had read about removing the shift lever - it is pressed on.

    So I smacked the top of the shift lever very hard with the palm of my hand. This cured the problem!

    I think tha tover time, using the release button on the front of the lever had push the shift lever up a bit.
