I haven't solved the problem by replacing a relay switch and a shifter part. However, there is a yellow lever that can be pushed located under the brushes on the shifter on the center right side of the shifter. If you press on the break, turn the key in the ignition and press the yellow lever, this will release the shifter out of park and then it wil move into neutral. The car will start in neutral. This is how I've been dealing with it. Alternative is to always park on level ground leave it in neutral when parked and start it in neutral.
