I just started having the same problem today. I finally put it into neutral and was going to push it back to get my van out of the garage. With the gearshift in N it starts fine, put into P and it just clicks. I have read at least 40 times today that others are having the same problem and when they put it into N it starts everytime. Someone said their dealer put a new ignition coil on and it solved their problem. Try the N thing for yourself, at least it starts and your anxiety goes away
