When in park my car says “shift to park” when it has clearly been shifted into park. I’ve read forums and it’s the same issue for many Chevrolet cars
There were 2 incidents. 1) got a steering control error, plus my AC stopped working and the temperature gauge would exceed zero. I was able to drive. I had the error code reset and the problem went away 2) car stalled on a busy street and I got a service all wheel drive warning. I was able to restart the car and the error went …

Shift to park when the car is in park notice
I'm getting a Shift to Park message on my dashboard when the car is in park position telling me to take action with a loud dinging sound. I need to know if this is a GM issue? Thanks
When shifting into Park, system fails to detect that car is in park and gives the Alert/Error message informing driver to “Shift to Park”. This error prevents the car from turning off or locking. Further, driver is unable to differentiate between if the car is actual in park or not, which is a major safety issue. A car not recog…

When shifting into Park, system fails to detect that car is in park and gives the Alert/Error message informing driver to “Shift to Park”. This error prevents the car from turning off or locking. Further, driver is unable to differentiate between if the car is actual in park or not, which is a major safety issue. A car not recognizing being in Park, can pose a huge risk to the driver and any around the car when it is in this state.
Right before my warranty went off I had my car in for service. I also mentioned the shift to park light coming on after putting my car in park. They could not duplicate the problem. On the next service I mentioned it was happening more and more. They wanted to charge me a minimum of $500 just to look at it but also informed me i…

Right before my warranty went off I had my car in for service. I also mentioned the shift to park light coming on after putting my car in park. They could not duplicate the problem. On the next service I mentioned it was happening more and more. They wanted to charge me a minimum of $500 just to look at it but also informed me it was a known issue. Because my warranty was now expired by a few hundred miles they wanted me pay if I wanted them to look. Absolutely not. Known issue with hundreds of the same complaint=‘s RECALL Fix our cars Chevy!!!

Upon returning home, I was still unable to turn off my car. I had to keep restarting, going in reverse, back in drive, then to park. Kept receiving the message for …

When I placed my car in park, I received a SHIFT TO PARK warning. I was unable to shut the car off. I had to return home because I was unable to leave my car. Upon returning home, I was still unable to turn off my car. I had to keep restarting, going in reverse, back in drive, then to park. Kept receiving the message for over an hour. I was trapped in my car, unable to turn it off or lock it. Took it to dealership and they are aware of the problem, but no recall has been issued. How can this be legal?? I had to repair the car due to the fact that I felt unsafe to go any where. My bumper to bumper expired in 2022 and this is not covered on the 6 year warranty. My car only has 37,196 miles. Is there anything you can do? Also if a recall is issued, will I be notified?
Shift to park will not disengage even though the car is in park. The alert will not stop sounding. Additionally, the radio and car will remain on and doors will not lock.
