I am receiving a "Shift to Park" warning intermittently when parking my truck. The truck is in park, but the transmission does not recognize this and flashes the warning on the dash and chimes. While this is happening, I cannot lock the vehicle, and the battery is being drained. I have read that this is a known issue with other GMC models as well. I just was given a $1074 bill to replace the transmission control with park sensor.
I was driving home from work and my truck down shifted and rear wheels locked up, now it’s in limp in mode and will not shift.
The vehicle will be in the park position and a warning on the dash will say shift to park not allowing you to shut off the vehicle. Jiggling the shifter sometimes works but often have to restart the vehicle numerous times to get the error message to not appear and be able to proceed with shutting off the vehicle
