Shift to park issue. When stopping the car and placing it in park it will flash a warning message stating that you need to "Shift to Park" even though the car is in park. As a result the car will effectively keep running for a period of time. My 2017 Volt began exhibiting this issue recently. I took it to the local Chevy dealer who charged me $106 to tell me what they already knew since there are multiple Service Bulletins for this issue. The car only has 34k miles on it but is past the 3 year limit so they also want to charge me to repair it but based on multiple online chatter the repair does not typically last for more than a year. Why is something like my car will not shut off not being treated as a safety concern??

- Garden Grove, CA, USA

It is an ongoing issue and that happens intermittently. When arriving to a stop (at times) the car still advances forward about a foot, even when the brake pedal is being used as far as it can. Also the vehicle claims to be losing propulsion, often, and seems strained when operating when the message appears.

I am experiencing the widely documented "shift to park" issue. [xxx] when I am parking the car, I shift into park and turn off the car power. But often a red warning light flashes in the center console instructing me to "shift to park". at that point, the shifter is locked and nudging it doesn't clear the error. So I have to restart the car, shift to reverse(or drive), shift back to park and then turn off the power and hope that the error goes away. According to regen2 in [xxx], its a lubrication issue of the central main shaft its not dangerous but annoying and prevents me from leaving the car while I try to clear the error.

After being parked for over 24 hours, when we started the vehicle we got a message shift to park. The car would not go into gear and was undriveable. We tried to contact onstar from the vehicle but thd connection kept breaking up. We got through on our cell and were forwarded to GM. They ordered road side assistancece. While waiting, we again started the vehicle. There was a bew message initializing: Wait to shift but the car did not go into gear. When roadside assistance arrived, they also tried without success. The car was towed to a dealership. In reading various forums, it appears this is a common problem and a major repair. I am curious as to why there has not been a recall fir this issue?

It is very difficult to shift into park. Nearly have to push hard to have the park setting engage. Unable to turn engine off when this happens. Also, the window will not go up smoothly. It goes up and down all on its own. It appears to have a mind of its own. You must open the window all the way before it will close. Cannot preform that function when it is only partially opened.

When shifting into park, and depressing the start button to turn off the car, I see a "action needed: Shift to park" message on the dash. Some times I can shift the car back into gear and shift back, or sometimes it just lets me turn it off. There are numerous reports of this issue on the internet requiring replacement of the shifter assembly, with a faulty sensor being the culprit in the full assembly. This affects both Chevy Malibu's and Chevy Volts in the same model generation.
