2019 Chevrolet Traverse

2019 Chevrolet Traverse having "shift to park" error when shifted into park and it will not turn off. I am not able to shut down my vehicle occurs, which is at random but with more frequency lately. I often have to turn car on, put into reverse and repeat the process, or jiggle the gear shifter to get it to turn off. I have read this is a common issue and GM is being sued in a class action lawsuit because of it. My dealership isn't acknowledging it and wants me to pay to have it completely replaced. I have also read it gets worse in most cases and in some cases causes the vehicle to shift into gear accidentally or drains the battery completely because it thinks the car is in drive and stays on. Possibly related, the vehicle is starting to "buck" when in slow acceleration/shifting automatic gears.

On June 12, 2022, after stopping for gas, my car did not want to start back up. I put my foot on the brake and pushed the start/stop button, but the engine struggled to come on. It did a similar thing a week before, but on that time when I pushed the button to start the car, all of my lights came on and my radio, but my air conditioner delayed in coming on. When I put the car in drive to go, nothing happened and I realized the engine never started. I pushed the start/stop button again and everything shut off and then back on and I was able to drive. For almost a year now, I have had issues with the auto stop feature when I'm at a stop light/sign. When I try to take off again, it delays on letting me move. This is also when my car will jerk or jolt as I start to drive. I took it to the dealership to look at the problem and was told there may be something with the fuel system. All they did was flush the system, but the problem didn't stop. I am seeing reports online of similar things happening to other 2019 Traverse owners. This concerns me because what happens when my car decides not to start again and I'm in a busy area? What happens when my family is with me and it doesn't want to go or it shuts off at a stop sign or light and we're in crash? I am making an appointment with another dealership, but with how many other drivers seem to be having problems, this seems to be a manufacturer issue and needs to be taken care of by them.

MY VEHICLE IS AT 30,738 MILES AND RECENTLY I BEGAN SMELLING WHAT I THOUGHT TO BE EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. I ALSO SMELLED IT AFTER THE CAR WAS PARKED OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE, NEAR THE THE HOOD OF THE CAR NEAR THE ENGINE. I TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID THAT THE BRAZING/WELDING POINT ON THE FUEL RAIL WAS FAULTY AND THE FUEL INJECTOR HAD BROKEN OFF AND WAS SPRAYING FUEL ALL UNDERNEATH THE CAR. IT WAS "TWO OR THREE TURNS AWAY FROM A CATASTROPHIC EVENT". THE CAR WAS HAD FUEL SPRAYED ALL NEAR THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND WAS GETTING DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME (MINUTES/HOURS) BEFORE THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE OR EXPLODED WITH THE AMOUNT OF LOOSE FUEL PRESENT AND I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS I WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IN TIME. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE FUEL RAIL AND SEVERAL OTHER PARTS. AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME. THERE WERE STILL FUEL VAPORS COMING INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE AND NEAR THE HOOD OF THE ENGINE. I TOOK IT BACK AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID ALL OF THE INSULATION AROUND/ IN THE ENGINE WAS SATURATED IN FUEL STILL. SO THEY WASHED THE INSULATION AND PUT IT BACK IN THE VEHICLE. IT STILL SMELLS LIKE FUEL VAPORS IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE.
