My vehicle has been displaying a ''shift to park" message. The message appears when I put the vehicle in park. When I go to turn off the car the vehicle will not turn off. Sometimes If I giggle the gear shifter violently enough the car will turn off. I have had leave my car running on multiple occasions. Woken up to dead battery's because my car WILL NOT TURN OFF. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership on 3 occasions to be looked at. The first time it was noted and I was told they couldn't look at it. The second time My vehicle needed all new transmission work ( on a 2019 model car) but was told since they couldn't recreate the shift to park message they couldn't do anything about it. The 3rd time they were able to recreate the issue but wanted me to pay $1k+ for ''fix'' the problem. But the fix was just to turn off the display message. My vehicle will not turn off.

Put the car in park and turn off and I get a Shift To Park message although the car is already in park. After researching, this appears to be a very common problem on these vehicles.

Put the car in park and turn off and I get a Shift To Park message although the car is already in park. After researching, this appears to be a very common problem on these vehicles. Why is there not a recall to have this fixed? Although my car only has 28,000 miles, it is outside of the 3 year warranty. I transport children every day and it's frustrating when I can't get out of my car until I figure out how to get the message to go away. Shame on Chevrolet! Have an appointment with dealership in the morning!
