Q: Car gets stuck in park and won't start SOMETIMES. Hear one click upon starting but starts working after a few times.

The shift interlock and the intermittent starting issue are likely separate issues. However, the brake light issue may be related to the shift interlock problem as the circuitry and components are common. The intermittent starting is relatively easy to diagnose. During the next such episode, simply check for 12 volt power to the starter solenoid with the key held in the start position. If 12 volts is reaching the solenoid with the key in the start position, and the always hot lead to the starter has no voltage drop, that likely means you need a new starter. On the other hand, if there is no power to the solenoid, that means there is an interruption somewhere in the starting circuit. To obtain a resolution of this issue, you can request a hard start diagnostic. With regard to the shift interlock, and brake light issue, the relevant service to request is a shift interlock diagnostic.
