Shift to park message coming up on dash screen eventhough shifter was in park. Engine would not turn off. Had to shift several times for vehicle to recognize park. There was a recall on some 2019 Chevy Blazer and a technical service bulletin issued, but my VIN number is not on the recall list. The current mileage is 37752. I bought the vehicle new. Dealership relaced shifter control at a cost to me of $553.60. If there is a safety issue, should a recall cover all ?

When I am shifting my vehicle to park (gear shift in console area) and turn my vehicle off I will get an error code in my dashboard that I need to shift to park. My gear shift in the console is lite up P and my dashboard electronic system says P; but when I try to turn my car off it won't turn off and stays on again giving me the error code that need to shift to park. I then have to turn my car back on to then try and turn it off with the same error code coming on. I can try pushing the gear shift further with no success, shift to different gears back to park, and try waiting a few minutes after shifting to park before turning it off and still no success. This is a safety issue that my car is not really in park and will take off if I take my foot off the brake when this is all occurring. I at one point had to turn my vehicle on and back off with no success at least 5 times before I can finally get it to turn off. This problem has been confirmed by multiple Chevrolet dealerships with all of them saying they have seen many vehicles (same make and model with other models included) with this issue. Manufacturer knows about it.

8 out of 10 times I put the vehicle in park I receive a "shift to park" alert. I have to put it in another gear several times before it recognizes it is parked. Sometimes flicking the shifter push-in piece on the bottom will work. I am unsure if the car is officially parked when I don't get this message.

I cannot shut off my vehicle. When I turn off engine warning message and alert binging tells me to shift to park. The vehicle is in park but vehicle does not register that it-??s in park. I-??m stuck in vehicle which will not stop alerts and runs down battery. This is a hazardous situation. I can-??t tell if car is actually engaged in park or not. This started happening intermittently over the last month but now it happens 8 times out of 10 when I try to shut off the vehicle.

This error code and same issue is all over GM forums. Thousands are experiencing this same issue, having to spend over $1000 to get it fixed. Ridiculous this isn-??t a recall yet.

I took my vehicle to the dealership for the recommended oil change on 09/15/2023. I am extremely good about keeping up on the routine maintenance. Upon arrival, the technician asked if I knew that my check engine light was on. I stated no, it was not on during my drive in and has not been on previously whatsoever. I scheduled a diagnostic for 09/20/2023 and brought it back to the dealership with 68,191 being the mileage. It was determined that my thermostat needs to be replaced. I then began receiving the message Steering Assist is Reduced" which is very unsettling. I am finding that a lot of newer model 2019+ Chevy Blazer owners are struggling with the exact same temperature issue, even those with way fewer mileage than mine for example a person who just had 25K on theirs. This needs to be taken more seriously / addressed further by the manufacturer.

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.

Here are the problems I've been facing: 1. Shift to Park Error: My Blazer often displays a "Shift to Park" message, even when the vehicle is already in the park position. This happens randomly and has no discernible pattern. As a result, the vehicle won't turn off, and I'm forced to repeatedly shift back and forth and apply excessive force to engage the park mode. 2. Steering Assist Reduced Message and Cold Temperature Gauge: Another recurring issue is the appearance of a "Steering Assist Reduced" message. At the same time, the temperature gauge gets stuck at the cold position, and the check engine light remains on. This seems to be a common problem among Blazer owners and requires immediate attention through a recall. 3. Fuel-Related Acceleration Problem: I've noticed a fuel-related problem that affects acceleration. The vehicle experiences sudden slowdowns, with the RPMs dropping, even when I maintain a steady throttle position. Then, out of nowhere, the Blazer regains speed and accelerates. This unpredictable behavior is dangerous and needs to be addressed immediately. 4. Random Loss of Power Steering and Power Brakes: On several occasions, my Blazer has lost power steering and power brakes without any warning. It's incredibly unnerving and puts both the driver and others on the road at risk. It's important to note that my Blazer is well-maintained and has less than 60,000 miles on it. These issues should not be happening under these circumstances. I strongly believe that these problems require the attention of the manufacturer, and I urge them to initiate recalls to rectify these safety concerns.

When the vehicle has physically shifted to park and the push to start/stop has been engaged, the dashboard will light up that the vehicle needs to be shifted into park.

- Prior Lake, MN, USA

After shifting into park the DIC comes on and says shift into park. At first I was able to reset the transmission into drive and back to park and it would reset the DIC. However, today I was at a loss as what to do as it would not reset and the lights and horn were in a warning mode. Finally, I set the parking brake and the DIC message went off. I have not gone to the dealer but will make an appointment to do so. Our 2019 Blazer only has 18,500 miles on it when this happened. I have seen several complaints of this type when researching the problem. No simple solutions were offered other than a trip to dealer for an expensive fix.
