I had the same problem earlier. I could not start my car in "Park" mode. I switched it to "Neutral" mode and started. It worked.

Now I switch between "Park" and "Neutral" mode all the time to start. Usually it takes my gear selector a round trip between "ParK", "Drive", "Neutral" modes. And I can start on "Park" mode. Otherwise I just start on "Neutral" mode directly. It always start on my "Neutral" mode.

"Out of adjustment"? What do you mean? Can it be fixed by replacing a gear selector or something?

Thanks
