Default ?!Gear/Brake Release Switch!?

Hi, i have a 2000 accord coupe V6 (automatic trans).. Sometimes when i press the brake i cannot take the car out of "Parking".. When i went under the dash board i noticed that the little push button on the brake pedal was not popping out when i press the brakes.. I have to play with that little switch so it can pop out. Can someone help me and tell me what this piece is called. Also, how can i fix this problem.. Is this piece expensive?

Thanks alot for the help !!

But it sounds like you need a new brake light switch.

You might want to make sure that's what it is first? Do the brake lights work when it's acting up?
