My 2016 Chevrolet Volt is exhibiting the "shift to park" issue. More often than not, when I shift to park and attempt to shut my car off, it alerts me that I need to shift in order to park. I have to turn the car back on, then turn it off again, sometimes I move the shifter or flick the shifter button to fix it.
