For about a month now my vehicle is telling me to put it in park when it is already in park. Have to restart multiple times and go through all the gears put it back in park turn it off and still get the "shift to park" error. It does not happen every time I use my vehicle, but it happens so much I am unsure if it is safe to use. Even though it shows it is in park I wonder is it really? I have called the dealer where I purchased it for them to look at it and they will not even schedule an appointment because they say the parts are on back order and they have no idea when they will get them. This is the first brand new car I have purchased and after having a lot of secondhand vehicles I went back to Chevy. I am very disappointed in Chevy it only has 23000 miles on it, and they are not doing anything to fix this, I would not recommend Chevy/GMC to anyone.

When I shift my vehicle into Park and attempt to turn off the car, the computer gives me an error message, "Shift to Park, " even when the vehicle is securely shifted into park. With this error message engaged, I am unable to turn the vehicle off and lock it. I end up spending several minutes trying to convenience the computer that the car is indeed in park, by shifting it so it registers.

Car is not registering when it is not in park. This should be covered under the warranty or a recall as it is a common issue for this vehicle.

I called the dealership and they can't get me in for 2 weeks. Unsure if they will be able to diagnose/fix the problem.

The car would tell me to "shift to park" when my car is in park. I was unable to turn my car completely off if this message was flashing on the dash.

The car would tell me to "shift to park" when my car is in park. I was unable to turn my car completely off if this message was flashing on the dash. I have had to leave my car unlocked and with the system on for periods of time when I had to get out of my car. There wasn't a way to be able to lock my car when this system was on, not even when I had turned the car off. I am always unaware if my car is actually in park or not. Very worrisome to think that my car would roll into an object, or even a person just because my car wouldn't register that I was in park.

Noise only when cold at front tire passenger side Nosie at front tire passenger side while steering. Check engine lite code PO299 Turbocharger/supercharger underboost-engine power is reduced. Replaced tire at 24600 miles. While driving at 65 mph, the forward collision avoidance system activated, and the car stopped at 65 mph. It happened 5 times that car fully stopped, and numerus time I get forward collision activated but then nothing happens. Imagine on freeway from 65 to 0 brakes by itself. Hard shifting and body shaking while accelerating. Hood is shaking while driving on freeway.

Nearly every time I park my car and shut it off a message pops up on the message board that says SHIFT TO PARK even though it is in park. I have to restart my car MULTIPLE times and shift to another gear and back into park before the message goes away. This has been happening for a couple of weeks but is getting more frequent.
