When I shift into park the vehicle is fully stopped and in park, but after I shut the vehicle off it beeps and the dashboard informs me I need to “shift to park”. The vehicle will continue to beep and won’t lock properly until I mess with the shifter enough to get it to register that I’m in park, sometimes taking minutes and multiple restarts. This seems to be a common issue in this vehicle based on a simple Google search, which tells me this is a manufacturer issue and should be recalled. I’m worried the whole shifter is going to malfunction. This is a safety issue and has caused me to almost be late in many instances because I can’t leave my vehicle.

Once shifting the car in park the car won’t shut off. It keeps stating “Shift to Park” the car has already been shifted to park. I have to shift my car over and over again to get it to cut off. Also when driving it keeps stating something about the track system.

I took my truck to the dealer back in 2022 for the specific reasons that the truck is being recalled now but my vehicle doesn’t qualify for the recalls. My vehicle has been having the same issues as the 2019 Chevy traverse recalls and I just saw that my truck is also leaking transmission oil which is linked to the 2019 recall but my truck doesn’t qualify. It started smelling like it was burning during the freeway drive today and when I got home, I noticed the oil leak I drive around 15 to 20 miles a day driving six children in my truck for safety and my truck is no longer safe to drive. I want to know why when I took my car in 2022 for the specific issues. They told me that it was pretty much all in my head that my truck was running fine and now I come to find out there are these recalls in effect, but my truck doesn’t qualify when the check engine light is on in my car for the specific reasons. I did contact the dealer where I took my truck in 2022 and they do have the paperwork to prove that I took my car and they told me someone would call me back to see what was going on. This was four days ago and nothing has happened and they also didn’t email me the paperwork like they told me they would.

When putting car in park, it continues to show a shift to park error message and will not power down all the way. I have to restart the car and shift in and out of park several times before the car will shut off. Often times when stopping at lights/stop signs the car will shift super hard and jerk into gear when trying to start moving again. This occasionally happens when it should be shifting going up hills as well.

When shifting to Park error, the car will not turn off and on. This should be a recall! It affects many models and is well documented. They start with the sensor and eventually replace the whole transmission to try to fix the issue. This should not be on the customer! This is a Defect!
