When in park my car says -??shift to park-?? when it has clearly been shifted into park. I-??ve read forums and it-??s the same issue for many Chevrolet cars
There were 2 incidents. 1) got a steering control error, plus my AC stopped working and the temperature gauge would exceed zero. I was able to drive. I had the error code reset and the problem went away 2) car stalled on a busy street and I got a service all wheel drive warning. I was able to restart the car and the error went away.
I'm getting a Shift to Park message on my dashboard when the car is in park position telling me to take action with a loud dinging sound. I need to know if this is a GM issue? Thanks
When shifting into Park, system fails to detect that car is in park and gives the Alert/Error message informing driver to -??Shift to Park-??. This error prevents the car from turning off or locking. Further, driver is unable to differentiate between if the car is actual in park or not, which is a major safety issue. A car not recognizing being in Park, can pose a huge risk to the driver and any around the car when it is in this state.

Right before my warranty went off I had my car in for service. I also mentioned the shift to park light coming on after putting my car in park. They could not duplicate the problem. On the next service I mentioned it was happening more and more. They wanted to charge me a minimum of $500 just to look at it but also informed me it was a known issue. Because my warranty was now expired by a few hundred miles they wanted me pay if I wanted them to look. Absolutely not. Known issue with hundreds of the same complaint=-??s RECALL Fix our cars Chevy!!!
When I placed my car in park, I received a SHIFT TO PARK warning. I was unable to shut the car off. I had to return home because I was unable to leave my car. Upon returning home, I was still unable to turn off my car. I had to keep restarting, going in reverse, back in drive, then to park. Kept receiving the message for over an hour. I was trapped in my car, unable to turn it off or lock it. Took it to dealership and they are aware of the problem, but no recall has been issued. How can this be legal"? I had to repair the car due to the fact that I felt unsafe to go any where. My bumper to bumper expired in 2022 and this is not covered on the 6 year warranty. My car only has 37,196 miles. Is there anything you can do? Also if a recall is issued, will I be notified"
Shift to park will not disengage even though the car is in park. The alert will not stop sounding. Additionally, the radio and car will remain on and doors will not lock.
I leased this car October 2019 and I had to tow the car to the dealership on December 12, 2019 for an electrical issue, as the car would not start. In June 2023 with 35,700 miles, I was driving the car when an error messages flashed on the dashboard. First message was to put the car in shift/neutral and immediately I was unable to move the shifter, the break got hard under my foot and the car "STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD". Then it kept flashing the following messages "SERVICE ESC" and "INFORMATION - ALL WHEEL DRIVE OFF" and the starter light remained "GREEN". I towed the car to the dealership, however, it took them a week to check the car and as a result the battery died and they missed the "Error Messages and CODES". Without the accurate codes, I was told I had to replace the battery and starter. When I picked up the car the air condition wasn't working, so I had to replace the compressor!!! I was very afraid to drive the car and I had it parked at home for some time. My husband and friends kept encouraging me to drive it etc. Eventually, I gave in and I started to drive the car, but still stressed and afraid and praying the car will not shut off again. The trauma of the car stopping so suddenly in the middle of the road and there was nothing I could have done - is very SCARY. I am just thankful that I was not on a highway when this happened - I could have been killed. However, I decided to drive the car and I now have 38,119 miles on the car. I had to take it to the dealership again on October 24, 2023, as when I park the car, although the shifter is in Park, the dashboard is telling me to put in in park and the Starter button will not turn off. I was advised by the dealership that I need to change the "Shifter Assembly" No one can tell me why the car stopped while driving in the middle of the road and I do not feel safe in this car anymore. I am just changing all the parts in this car one by one!!!
Two days ago I received an alert that says steering assistant reduced drive with caution then I noticed my temperature gage was all the way on cold and my a/c doesn't blow cold. My fan on the radiator blows constantly and doesn't turn off I was reading the chevy blazer forum and it seems to be a numerous amount of people with the same exact issue dating up to 4 days ago I do not see a fix for this issue. People have replaced sensors and thermostat but that does not seem to fix there issue I feel as though this is a known issue with no fix yet. Please I need some help here my warranty just ran out and I don't have $1000 to replace parts and this is my only vehicle and still owe $33,547
Hi My wife arrived home from work and put the truck in park. A message came up on the instrument panel saying shift to park and would not let her shut the vehicle off. I went out could not figure out what was going on because the truck was clearly in park. After moving the gear shift around the message went away and I was able to shut off the truck. A couple of days later when she got to work, it did it again. Moving the gear shift around turned it off. I took the truck to the dealer 10/18/23 and inquired about a recall for this because so many people are having the same issue, on several GM makes. No recall and I had to pay close to $572.99 for them to replace the gear shift assembly. We just bought the truck in Feb of 23 and paid cash. $300. At time of purchase the truck had 21000 miles. Today it has only 24000.
I looked online and a lot of Chevy products are having this issue. Something will pop up saying limited driving assistance then your cold hot gauge doesn-??t work is get stuck your air conditioning quits working your oil gauge quit working your battery how much voltage you have quits working it falls your whole window up where you can-??t see. This is an ongoing issue with most of GMC vehicles, especially blazers. This is a safety issue that could cause your car to blow up or your windows. The fog over where you can-??t see and you have a wreck and I could kill you.
When Driving the vehicle, usually around 1500 rpm, you feel the transmission start to stutter, and during this stuttering, the whole car shakes violently. this violent shaking occurs on the highway with speeds of 70mph and over. the shaking causes the steering wheel and lane centering function to become disoriented, hence almost causing me to get into an accident on the highway. This is not an isolated incident for my vehicle only. I am in a chevy 2019 blazer group on facebook and dozens of members have experienced this same exact issue. the members that got it repaired had to have the entire transmission replaced. apparently it is an issue with the gears not fitting properly and grinding causing shavings to get into the the transmission fluid causing the danger. I have addressed this issue with the chevy dealership i bought it from but the refused to document it or take accountability for the issue.
Steering assistance reduced drive with care! Will not let engine warm up. GMC does not know what is causing this to million of cars. Could evently blow engine and or cause a fatal wreck
The esc warning light comes in drains the battery from 14.3 down to 11.5 volts when auto stop kicks on. Gm has a recall on other vehicles for the same issue but my car is not listed
I have had problems with my 2019 chevrolet blazer since I bought it. Incidents as follows: computer screen stated f*ck off...took car to dealership and I was told they never saw anything like that. They suggested to set back to manufacturer radiodefault. SD card has been removed is what the vehicle was telling me. Took to dealer, I was told they could set radio back to factory settings...On star was not on star, at one point I said to on star...you are lying you are not really on star and the person on the other end laughed I have many police reports about this issue. Continental tire burst, so I replaced tire not knowing what caused this incident.I replaced with another continental tire.car bucks sometimes when shifting...took to dealer, I was told because of incline, there are no hills mountains or anything like this where I live.when I turn the car off a bell will sound...and displays shift to park...I am in park, so I will have to turn car off and restart 5 or 6 times. I have issue after issue since I purchased this vehicle in 2019 off the showroom floor.and today's date is 11-10-22 Also rear camera will come on when the vehicle is turned off this has been an ongoing problem. An app was downloaded on my vehicles computer, called manufacturer and I asked if a satellite flewover my my vehicle because the app was not on the screen before.she stated she never heard of that. An app on my computer screen was deleted as I sat in the car looking at the screen.
The TBS sensor or switch that tells the vehicle when it has been put in park is malfunctioning. It is not allowing me to park the vehicle correctly and forcing me to start and stop the car multiple times before registering that it is in park. Also, while driving it causes the doors to lock or unlock due to sensing the vehicle is in park or not. To my knowledge this is a widespread issue with GM from 2013-2020. The vehicle has less than 70,000 miles and should not be creating a safety concern for my wife or baby. This needs to be looked into and fixed via a recall. The consumer should not have to pay for the cheap part GM used and should not be failing within 3 years of purchasing the vehicle.
When placing the vehicle in park and turning off the vehicle there is a message on the dashboard saying -??shift to park-?? and the vehicle will not shut off, and you cannot lock the vehicle due to the error message.
When car is placed into park and try to turn off engine, warning chime with screen notification stating place car into park. When this happens, car is already in park.
