05 Jeep Liberty Shifter/Transmission start issue

[kenkab]

Hey All,
I have a 05 Liberty that’s making me pull all my hair!!

Here are the symptoms I’m experiencing
1. It won’t start when shifter is in Park but will start when it’s in neutral
2. It Rolls when parked in park, so I have to use the handbrake
3. Shifter is difficult to shift

please assist with possible remedies!

Sounds like the Park Interlock Cable- "Shift interlock" is bad, it may be adjustable..
Shifter has to be aligned correctly...
