Hi Dave,This problem might be caused by the brake pedal switch, which senses when the brake is pressed and lets the car start and shift gears. If the switch isn’t working properly, it might cause the car to stay "locked" and not start. Sometimes tapping the brake pedal a few times might help loosen things up.

It could also be related to the gear selector interlock. Semi-automatics often have a mechanism that stops the gear stick from moving unless the brake is pressed. If this interlock is sticking or getting worn, it could temporarily lock up the brakes and the gear shift.

It could also be the ignition switch or starter relay, especially if those parts are starting to wear out. If the problem occurs more frequently, it might be worth having a mechanic take a look at the brake interlock and ignition system.👍
