I leased a Chevy Volt 2018, about 3 months after the first few charge, using the cable that came with the vehicle the car do not charge anymore, air conditioning not was working, I reposted the issues to the sales agent. He responded that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle, that I need to learn how to use it. A couple of months later when I was driving the the vehicle started to sake and the control pannel went crazy, I call again to the dealer. They tell me this time to bring the car inn. After the keep it for a day, they call me to said that they have to keep the car because the car have a difectec battery cell, they tell me that they need to order this celd and install it. They keep the car for a week. After the car work ok for a couple of months and after the air conditioning no not work, I call ageing to report the problem, but they give me the same answer. After I received a notice of a recall for the air conditioning, I took the car for service and I noticed that they never rotated the tires as they claimed. The problem with the air continue, so I took the car to a dealer closer to my home, they tell me that the car have a problem and they need to keed the vehicle. After they tell me that I have to paid because for the repairs about $1600 because of this problem I don't have a car and I'm about to loss my job. This car has been a nightmare. I ask the dealer to please to take back the car. I also ask Chevrolet corporation but not answer has been taken, this cause me to loss my jod snd created many problem to me and my family. The vehicle still on the shop for the last two weeks and they trll mr that maybe take longer. Cause they don't have the part and that is on back order.

While attempting to turn the car off- a message appears saying "action required- shift into park". the car is in park and the dash registers that it is in park, the gear shift is locked in park but the system doesn't sense that it is in park and won't let the car shut off. Has progressively gotten worse and more frequent.

Vehicle gives a "shift to park" message when it is already in park and I am attempting to turn it off. I have to shift the car back into drive or reverse and then shift it back to park many times before it allows me to turn off the vehicle. I took it to be repaired to my local dealership and they replaced the "shifter in-line wire harness jumper", as indicated on my invoice. Two days later, I am having the same problems again.

After shifting to park and pushing the power button to turn the car off, I get the message "shift to park.", and the car will not turn off. It does not recognize that the car is in park. The car was stationary. The Chevy dealer fixed the problem in October of 2019 and it worked until recently.

"shift to park" warning alert issued when shifter is already in park. This issue occurs intermittently at least 3X a day. Wiggling and/or reshifting to park sometimes resolves the issue. More effort and time to "play" with the shifter is required in the last month to make the warning go away. Online research resulted in multiple reports including videos on the issue with the shifter assy. This issue started occurring when the car was 1.5years old. This issue seems to be systemic with other similar GM models. Please consider issuing recall to fix this issue. Thank you.
