I am joining the ever growing list of Chevy Traverse (2019) owners who are experiencing the "shift to park" problem. When I turn off the vehicle, a message appears on the screen that I must shift to park even though the car is in park. As of now, I can usually jiggle it into place or move the car out of park and try again, but this is a safety issue I can't ignore. The dealer tells me they know of the problem and I am scheduled to have it repaired (or so they say?) at a cost of $425 plus tax.

Shift into park message just started coming on even though car is in park. There are numerous complaints and lawsuits online regarding this. You have to jiggle the shifter to make it go away. Waiting for a response from local dealer regarding a quote to fix issue.

When the car is in park the vehicle does not believe the vehicle is in park and will not turn off. There is a service bulletin from GM about the issue but has not been recalled. You must press the start button and shift into a gear at least ten times before the shift to park error goes away.

Every time I put it in park the car will not turn off. I get a shift to park warning light and the car remains running. I was told at the dealership that it is frequent but GM will not recall it because they don-??t want to replace the parts. I can-??t get out of my car when I go places because it won-??t turn off!

2019 chevy traverse check engine light came on then went off for a couple of weeks. The engine light came back on and I took it in to dealership. They found code p0420 which is fail code catalytic converter. They call me to shop an showed me a leak on pipe near a weld which was cracked no sign of someone causing damage to it just a cracked weld. This pipe was directly under the passenger and driver which could have been causing the gasses to leak into the vehicle. This carbon monoxide could cause safety risks to passengers. I contacted General motors about this issue and they investigated it but said it was not covered so I paid out of my pocket for the repair which cost $1600.

On 10-31-2022 my Chevy app sent email that my vehicle was experiencing starter engine issues and that my vehicle could not start. Except my vehicle was starting and being driven at the time. Shortly after that my vehicle gave notification by dashboard that my steering assist was reduced and to drive carefully but I am not aware of having that feature or how it was reduced in the first place. On 11-1-2022 my vehicle was being reversed into parking and the camera view displayed the scene as if my course was clear but I was not and the vehicle collided with a pole. I-??m not sure how this is even possible but I no longer feel this vehicle is safe for me and my family.

When shifting to park, the car indicates that the car has not shifted and has not engaged the parking break. The car remains on and has rolled back as a result. The dealership refuses to acknowledge the problem and it is endemic with General Motors vehicles across the family of brands.

Auto stop continually stops but delays to turn on. Service esc goes on and off even after being fixed. Several Mechanics have -??fixed-?? this issue but it still happens. This is going to cause a serious accident.

Shift to park error And the car can-??t turn off

- Southgate, MI, USA

My Chevy Traverse LT has only 15,500 miles. A few weeks after my 3 year warranty expired I started getting an "Action Required Shift to Park" message and the car would not recognize it was in park. After numerous attempts it would eventually recognize and turn off properly. Not only is this frustrating but also dangerous. I called the dealer I purchased from and his only offer was to put it on the diagnostic machine told me that that would be deducted from the total. When I asked what the ballpark figure would be, he said he did not know which tells me that they could just charge me whatever they wanted. He said he knew about this problem and the bulletin that was issued and had fixed many. I'm assuming he should know a ballpark figure but the way he was doing it I wouldn't know until it was all said and done shameful way to do business for a known problem. I called Chevrolet Customer Service and was told it was covered under the power train warranty. Then I found a Chevy dealer in Smithville who acknowledged this is an ongoing problem, not covered by warranty and quoted me $500 to repair by replacing the sensor and harness. He got my business by being honest. I have been a loyal Chevy customer for 50+ years and now rethinking what make car I will get in the future. I am perplexed why Chevy doesn't issue a recall for this issue since a car needs to be in park and turned off.

On several occasions when trying to park my vehicle I would get a -??Shift to Park-?? error message on my dash. Despite turning the car back on and off, the error message did not go away. I had to do this several times before it-??d go away.

- Indianapolis, IN, USA

-??Shift to park-?? message when car is put in Park and car cannot be turned off. Reshifting fid not fix the problem. Drove it around a bit then was able to turn it off. Apparently this is a known defect. Dealer who fixed mine says he gets a few every week. Should be a recall since this is definitely a hazard. My car was 6 weeks out of warranty with 30844 miles on it do I had to pay nearly $500 for the repair. And after reading reports, it may recur.

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.
