Intermittently after I put the Trans. in park and shut off the engine I get a message to shift trans. to park. I repeat the process of starting and stopping engine and shifting in and out of park several more times. I can't leave the vehicle until the message stops appearing. If I get out and shut the door the radio keeps playing and doors will not automatically lock. I'm concerned that I have an electrical short and might catch fire. I park in a garage at home and could lose my home or life if it caught fire I have an appointment with my dealer 2/7/2022. As of this date I have not reported the issue to anyone. The problem started just before Christmas and stopped for several weeks and now it's back again. There are no pre-warnings before the issue occurs.

When I put the car in PARK and turn the vehicle off, the dashboard signals a notice to put the vehicle in Park. It will not stop the notice until I stop / start the car a few times.

Getting “shift to park” message repeatedly when car is IN park. Sometimes can short term fix with go back to drive and then shifting to park again. Worried this will drain battery or cause car to roll out of driveway if it’s not reading that it’s in park.

I get a “shift to park” message after I have turned my car off even though it is in park. The warning does not shut off so I have to remain in my car and turn the car on/off and switch it into gear and out of gear in an attempt to get the warning to stop. At times, I have had to leave the parking spot and drive around more then park again to get the warning to stop. My car is three years old. This should NOT be happening on a three year old car. My car not recognizing what gear it’s in certainly isn’t safe.

After shifting my 2019 Chevrolet Traverse into park, an “Action Required” message appears on the dash that says, “Shift to Park”. But, the car is already in park. Due to this action required message the car will not properly shut off.The only way I am able to shut the car off is by restarting it and shifting into reverse or drive, back to park. Sometimes it takes up to six times of going through this process to get the car to shut off. This issue has been going on for over a month. I arrived at the dealership for a scheduled oil change and the car did the same as I parked in their garage. I had a tech come out to see what was going on. He told me that Chevrolet was aware that this was happening in at least 4 models, including my Traverse. He immediately knew what the fix was. It was explained to me that there was a bulletin, but not a recall for this issue. The dealership said they could fix it for $140, and because I was 7,000 out of my bumper to bumper I had no choice but to pay the amount. If Chevrolet knows this is an issue then they should be covering the cost to repair it. It is bulletin #19-NA-206. They installed a SL-N-Switch and an N-Harness. They also removed transmission range selector and removed and replaced wiring harness on the selector to a newer design, that’s supposed to stop the issue.

We have major paint chipping and peeling issues, the gear selector will not recognize park at times and we have had the catalytic converter replaced in the 2.5 years of owning (we are the only owners).

Shift to Park alert and gear parking issue. This is a big issue with GM cars/SUVs after I searched online. Looks like a manufacturer parts’ defects in gear box.
