2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Starting issues

Wont’ start with push to start button unless jeep is in neutral. Then starts first time. Starts using the remote start every time

Well, you have two ways to start it, why do you need the third? Think of it as a theft deterrent.

So it won’t crank the engine — that rrr rrr rrr sound — pressing the start button (located presumably on the dashboard) in P, but will in N? And the remote start fob cranks the engine equally well in both in P and N?
