2019 Chevrolet Traverse

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while attempting to park the vehicle and shifting into PARK, the shift to PARK warning light was illuminated.

The contact called Reliable Chevrolet (9901 Coors Blvd NW, Albuquerque, NM 87114: (505) 216-2993) & Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet (7201 Lomas Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87110: (505) 633-2215) and the dealers were made aware of the failure. The contact was informed that 5 days were needed to diagnose the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.

My 2019 Chevrolet Traverse LT with ~28,600 miles on it within the past month has been providing me with a 'Shift to Park' error on the Driver Information Center (DIC) when I have already shifted it to Park and shut the car off (engine no longer running). The shifter assembly is not recognizing that I in fact do not have it in gear and the car is in Park. The error does not go away until I re-start the car, put it in gear, shift back to park, wait a few seconds, and then shut the car off again.

Intermittent "Action Required" alert on the display to "Shift to Park" after already shifting into park and turning off the car. Sometimes after jiggling the gearshift it will stop. Sometimes have to turn the car back on and shift into reverse and park again. Sometimes have to do this several times. Appears, after research online, this is a known issue under TSB 19-NA-206, September 2019. I have scheduled to take to the dealership for inspection. But it also sounds like the recommended repair is only a band-aid that will require a further repair.

When car is put into park and I turn off the car with the push button, I get a message of “shift to park”. The car is in park but the car doesn’t think it’s in park and won’t fully shut down. Warning chimes continue. Tapping the shifter control forward to the radio seems to kick it back in and the car shuts down with no more warning chimes. Looked this up online and there are numerous people complaining about this and it happening to them. Sounds like the whole shifter assembly needs replacing. It doesn’t matter if I’m close to home or a thousand miles away, what happens when I can’t tap the shifter to get it to shut down completely? Safety and mechanical issue that has to be addressed and fixed. Thank you.

Car began to not shift to park when attempting to park. Dealer said it was a common problem and it is a huge safety issue as if the car is not engaging in park it could be in an unsafe condition on an incline and begin to roll. There maybe other issues I'm not even aware of but I feel gm should recall this defect if it especially a known issue among many vehicles.

When placing the car in park, a "shift into park" warning appears on the dashboard even though the vehicle is actually in park. The problem appears to be a shift relay that is not making contact with the metal tab that depresses the sensor telling the computer the vehicle is in fact in park. Not thinking the car is in park can cause a driver to panic the car is going to roll into another car, fixed object or another person. This problem has been confirmed multiple times and there is currently a GM bulletin out on the problem. The fix is to replace the entire shift assembly at the owner's cost - $500. The only warning message received is '"shift into park".

MY6 VEHICLE IS TAKING 6 OR 7 TIMES TO SHUT OFF WHEN IN PARK. IT KEEPS SAYING "PUT VEHICLE IN PARK" AND IT ALSO SAYS ADVISORY PROBLEM. I CALLED CIOICA CHEVROLET IN PRINCETON NJ ON APRIL 5, 2021, AND THEY SAID I HAVE TO WAIT FOR AN APPOINTMENT BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL BOOKED UP AND IT WILL BE A VERY LONG WAIT, I ASK IF O COULD DROP IT OFF AND GET A LOANER CAR AND THEY SAID NO, I AM HOPING THIS DONT GET WORSE AND THEN I WILLBE VERY MAD, THEY ALSO TOLD ME THEY ABOUT 9 TRAVERSE IN WITH THE SAME PROBLE. PLEASE GET THE TO TAKE THE IN AND GIVE ME A LOANER

2019 TRAVERSE WAS TRAVELING DOWN ROAD ABOUT ONE MILE FROM STARTING LOCATION CAR SHUT OFF AND ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON THAN NOTICED SMOKE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT., FLAMES SHORTY AFTER. FD WAS CALLED AND ARRIVED AND PUT OUT FIRE. A FLUID TRAIL WAS NOTICED BEHIND CAR LEADING TO OUR HOUSE (1 MILE AWAY). NO ISSUES WITH THE CAR UP TO THIS POINT. CAR WAS TOWED AND INSURANCE CALLED, NOTIFIED GM THE NEXT DAY AFTER SEEING A RECALL ON LEAKING TRANSMISSION (THIS VIN IS NOT ON THAT LIST). GM BASICALLY SAID THAT ONCE WE CALLED THE INSURANCE COMPANY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR US. INSURANCE COMPANY (ALLSTATE) SAID THEY WILL LOOK INTO THIS. CAR WAS A LEASE AND WE HAVE NO RECOURSE. IT SEEMS FISHY TO ME THAT SOME MODELS HAVE A RECALL AND THIS APPEARS TO BE SOME KIND KIND OF LEAK FROM THAT AREA. IF GM DOESN'T CARE HOW WILL THEY KNOW IF THIS RECALL NEEDS TO INVOLVE OTHER MODELS AND VIN'S OF THIS CAR. I UNDERSTAND THAT WE LEASED THE CAR SO WE LOSE AND CAN'T RECOUP ANYTHING NOR WILL THEY WORK WITH US TO LOWER THE COST OF A REPLACEMENT. WHAT IF MY YOUNG CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR OR MY MOTHER IN LAW WHO HAS A TOUGH TIME GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE CAR, SOMEONE COULD OF BEEN INJURIED OR WORST. SOMEONE NEEDS TO CAER ABOUT THIS. THIS HAPPENED IN NORWALK CT ON EAST ROCKS RD 06851. SUNNY CLEAR DAY CAR WAS MOVING FORWARD WHEN IT LOST POWER. NO RECENT WORK ON CAR, NO ACCIDENTE NORWALK CT FIRE INCIDENT REPORT 21-001007

WHEN I PUT THE STICK SHIFT IN PARK, IT SIGNALS THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN PARK. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TRAVERSE. THEY PUT IN A BRA TO HELP IT STAY IN PARK, THE BRA FAILED AND THEY ADJUSTED IT AGAIN. I CAN START AND STOP THE CAR BUT CAN'T TURN THE CAR OFF. THIS HAPPENS IN ANY ENVIRONMENT, ON A HILL, FLAT LAND IN/OUT OF GARAGE. IS TIS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE
