Could wiggle the wheel and wiggle the shifter and eventually it would start. Dealer cured problem with, I was told, "spray lubricant into shift linkage". And, can you believe, didn't charge me. No idea quite where they sprayed it or what they sprayed it with but it can be something as simple as that. 8 months ago, no problems since.
