It very likely is the PNP switch(gear position sensor), a part that commonly fails. When your friend is experiencing the symptoms the WSE lights flash and a code is set. Next time have your friend turn the car off but leave the key in the ignition and move the gear shift back and forth about 20-30 times through the full range of gears. This can clean the contacts of the switch for a little while. If this works then the switch needs to be replaced asap, eventually the car will not start because the computer cannot sense if the selector is in park.
