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.

When trying to turn the car off, the instrument panel will say "shift to park" even though the car is already in park. Then, the car will not turn off. This has happened multiple times, over many days, when the car is stationary, in any location, when you are attempting to turn the car off.

"shift to park" error displays after shifting the car into park. When this error message occurs, I am unable to turn off the vehicle.
- New Orleans, LA, USA
"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.

I am having the shift to park issue. The engine will not turn off although the car is in park. This issue is well known to users and to dealers. There should be a recall

Android auto is less safe than using a phone on the dash. It is very buggy, always laggy. Today it was unresponsive for an entire hour. Even after rebooting the phone and the car while traffic was stopped it would not come back. When it does work it is so slow it is a distraction. The voice commands as completely unreliable. They only work half the time at best. This forces you to touch the screen and try those commands which are also unreliable. The update in August of 2019 did not make anything better. Please do not trust anyone's lives to a google automated car until they can get such a simple piece of software as android auto to function at an automotive level of reliability and safety. This includes not letting the cars on the roads to endanger other people. It doesn't matter if the car is stationary, on city streets or the highway.

Chevrolet service case [xxx] 5/20/19 for same issue described below service at victor Chevrolet victor Chevrolet replaced brake calipers problem was minimized for a short time. 8/27/19 -- brought the vehicle to victor Chevrolet for the second time for the same problem * clunk in rear of car as it stops. Previously, the problem started small and got progressively worse with time. The clunk moves the car slightly forward; it moves more as the problem worsens. * car has 6700 miles now. It had about 4500 miles last time (victor Chevy can confirm or correct) 8/30/19 -- called victor Chevrolet service. Nikki told me that they tested another Volt and it has the same issue, so this isn't a problem. I said it becomes progressively worse, and needs be fixed, as it is a safety issue. At the very least, I ought never to have to pay for fixing the issue or related problems regardless of the status of my warranty. Nikki said I need to call and talk to service manager (gary). I said he needs to research and give me more information; I will call Chevy meanwhile and consult with them. 8/30/19 -- called Chevy (C/S) 800 888 1020 -- Julian will escalate to senior advisor team. They say two business days. That means Wednesday. Today is Friday. Case number [xxx] goals: 1) keep communication in writing as much as possible so no misunderstandings 2) fix the issue. Sounds like maybe there is a recall needed if many Volts have the same problem. Perhaps Chevy corporate can research the problem and minimize trips to service (ugh. Such a hassle to drop off a car) 3) if issue can't be fixed, obtain in writing from Chevy a waiver so that any future repairs directly or indirectly related to this problem are warranty covered information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Car will not turn off after being put in park and power button pushed to off. The displays reads "put car in park to turn off", but the car is already in park. The local Chevrolet dealer said the gear assembly needs to be replaced.
