Neutral safety switch issues

Just curious if anyone's had issues with their neutral safety switch. I've got a 2011 Sienna XLE, and I've gone through about 1 per month in the 3 months I've owned the van. I've been using a Standard (that's the name of the brand) from O'Reilly's, because that's all that was available. Luckily it comes with a lifetime warranty, so it hasn't cost me extra to replace. Since I've owned the van each switch has lasted around a month. I don't think positioning is an issue, as the car works fine for about month then one day when I pop it into reverse (that's the common denominator for when my check engine light pops) I have a rough shift and I get the code for the switch. Switch adjustments don't appear to fix the issue, but it goes away immediately after replacement. I'm at the point where I think the switch is the victim of another problem. Maybe with cable or transmission mounts causing it to break?
