Ford Escape 2010 shifter not leaving park

The shifter in the Ford Escape 2010 is not leaving park. I've turned the car off multiple times and gone through the basic steps to starting the car and it's still not working. Gas is high. It should be working fine.

You have to press your foot on the brake pedal and push in the thumb button on the shifter while shifting into drive.

Do you have your brake pedal fully depressed? If not, it will not shift out of park.
