I occasionally have the same problem, and there are other members on here with similar threads. There is a sensor in the transmission that has a history of being faulty. Members have said that the dealer ought to be able to connect to the ECU and diagnose the issue; I on the other hand have been told (by the dealer--probably can only trust em as far as i could throw em) that they have to be able to mimic the problem otherwise they wont replace the sensor, and im out $100 (my deductable, currently still under warranty)

There is also a position sensor in the shifter if I m not mistaken. It will sometimes get loose and not make contact.
Also, you should be able to start in neutral as well.

The sensor is called Transmission Range sensor, and it's the one 951JEEP mentioned.
