Agreed. Test for this first.

It's either the ignition relay or the park-neutral safety switch. The ignition relay goes through your steering wheel and is a bugger to replace but not totally terrible. The park-neutral safety switch is located underneath your center console (like directly below the emergency brake) and probably easier to fix.. just depends on how easy it would be to move/remove the center console off.

A while back, I had an ignition switch issue and with that fixed.. now, I think I too suffer from the neutral switch issue.
