Engine

The check engine light and other error codes are on. The vehicle would run fine and then the engine would go into 1/2 power and go slow while driving. This has happened other times too. It has been in the shop and the dealership and GM do not know what is wrong with it. It has been there for almost 2 weeks.

Alert for shift to park keeps alerting after already in park. I have to turn car on and off at least 20xs to get notice to shut off . I cannot leave car with notice on dash screen or it will beep at me and drain battery. I went to service at Chevy and they told me this isn’t a recall and the part I need is a new shifter and it will cost me money on a 3 yr old car to fix with 14000 miles. I am extremely upset because the part is unavailable and no estimate when I can get it fixed. I’ve been dealing with this for a few months and it take me 20mins off and restarting to get error to go away. I need answers !

Two times in a month after getting fixed the first time the esc error code pops up and the engine starts running at 1/2 capacity and the steering gets hard to steer. There is also a braking error code that displays. I have had to tow it to the dealership twice now and can not drive it. It is a danger since it will decelerate when in traffic and becomes hard to steer.

Issue: When the vehicle is put into park and the ignition is turned off, the vehicle may not recognize that it is in park and a message will appear. This can make it difficult to turn off the ignition and remove the key. The “Shift to Park” message appears in the Driver Information Center of my 2022 Chevy Trailblazer. The cause of this is a malfunction in the park switch inside the shifter assembly of my Chevy Trailblazer. My local Chevy dealer advised me that some vehicles are getting recalls for this issue, however my vehicle has not. There are currently two Class Action Lawsuits pending on this issue - one in Tennessee and one in Ohio. I would just like my repair to fall under a recall since there are so many issues throughout the United States on this part it does not seem fair that I should have to pay almost $500.00 (Parts and labor) for something Chevy knows is defective.

Shift Control Assembly (Shift to Park Issue) I bought a 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer custom, and around 57,550 miles it started throwing a shift to park error message. This does not allow me to turn my car off complete as it does not recognize it’s in park. It has been looked at by Dealer and parts are back ordered no known fix for it. This is a well known issue from Chevrolet but they only cover it under bumper to bumper and not Powertrain, but everywhere I read it’s a Powertrain issue. This will drain my battery inhibiting my ability to use my vehicle which is only 2 years old. This could be a safety concern since the car isn’t recognizing it’s in park therefore not allowing it to shutdown and leaving electricity running through it all the time. Let alone a huge hassle for the drivers of the vehicle.

I get a "Shift to Park" error message even though the car is in the park position as all indicator says it's in park. If I wiggle the shifter it would go away and come back on when i drive it again. On November 1st I came home from work and it would go off at all, I tried everything, wiggling the shifter, put in drive and back in park took if for ride around the block and it still would go off even after 20 minutes. My husband had to remove one of the battery terminal so the battery would die. It did reset it for a few days but now it's back. I reported the issue to the dealer the first time it happen but they can't get me for 3 weeks. This is a hazer if it doesn't go off as I can't lock my car and my husband isn't always with me especially when I go to work.
