    Default transmission does not register "P" on dashboard ...sometimes..car did not start

    the "P" park LED does not register in the dashboard sometimes. When i come to a stop and put the gear into park, I can take my foot off the brake and the "P" registers sometimes.

    I brought the issue to the attention at the dealership last month. they said "not to worry". I didn't worry until my car didn't start this morning.

    The problem is sometimes fixed if I gently wiggled the transmission selector left and right while in the park position.
    This morning the car did not start (as is what happens if transmission is not in park). This problem is getting worse and i want to know if anyone had similar problems?
    any thoughts on what could this be, and how to remedy the situation??

    thanks
