Seems silly, but it's not.
Had a friend that I sold a Kia Rio to years ago. she called me in a panic one day, saying she was having trouble starting the car.
Turns out something was jammed in her shifter, not allowing the car to go fully into park. Any automatic car, of course, has to be in "park" or "neutral" in order to start. The parking pin was going in, allowing the car to actually "park" and not roll away, but the sensor in the shifter assembly was not registering the shifter as being in the "park" position, thus telling the computer to not allow the car to start.
