Can you describe the "bricking" a bit more closely? The only problem you've described is having to shift to park before you can start the car, with the brake engaged, which is fairly common, and hardly sounds like your car is bricked.

I'm hoping to pick up a Volt or other hybrid, because I don't have a garage I can charge an EV in, but not if they're prone to actual bricking.

Youve described the working condition yes. But when the sensor fails, an owner can not start their car even when it is in park because the sensor thinks it's not no matter what you do. The wait for this part seems to be 2 weeks for the lucky ones, and 6 months for the ultra unlucky ones. Typical seems 2 months. Similar for the EGR system parts which is even sadder because cleaning it doesnt take long and would get the people another year or two until more parts are available.
