My vehicle has 2 issues that are known but only recalled for another year. My car will say shift to park when in park and will not power off. My vin shows no open recalls for this issue for my vehicle but there is a service bulletin for this issue with my year vehicle. The dealer will not cover the cost of repair since my vin is not listed in the recall. Also I just had to replace the vaper cannister purge pump and vaper cannister valve and extended warrenty was offered on the purge pump and valves for 2021 trailblazer for this known issue but not 2022. Dealerships refuse to address my concerns to assist/investigate/return phone calls to help to see how to add the 2022 trailblazer to the recall
