Shift To Park message displays while vehicle is already in Park! Incident began increasing in frequency in late 2022. Vehicle would not Shut Off! Bulletin on problem came out in 2019, Chevy did not inform me of this Safety issue, Grandchildren in vehicle at least 2 times. Chevy charged me for the fix, Chevy was aware of problem before warranty expired !
I am experiencing the well know -€œshift to park-€ issue. When I move the shifter to the park position and turn off the vehicle, I receive a message stating -€œshift to park-€ and I-€™m unable to fully power the car off or lock the doors. This is only overcome by trying to wiggle the shifter. The issue is intermittent and the remedy is not always successful. It seems to be happening more frequently. The issue began around 40,000 miles. I have contacted the dealership to diagnose the issue but the repair has not been completed yet.
My 2019 blazer when stopped and put into the park position would say on the dash shift into park so you didn-€™t know if it was in park or not, also it would not turn off the motor would stop but none of the electric would turn off until the battery ran down. Not knowing if your car is in park or not is a big safety issue and GM is well aware of this problem on many of its vehicles.
Initially received Stabilitrak dash warning when brakes were applied for longer than 30 seconds (ie., stop light) for several days with no SEL. Then, while driving along a secondary highway at approximately 60mph, all dash lights lit up, power steering failed, power brake assist failed, and vehicle started stumbling. Pulled to side of road and vehicle shut off. Performed restart and was able to complete drive home (approx 3 miles). Upon arrival and shutting off vehicle, all dash lights illuminated then shut off. Vehicle would not start after (no click, no turnover, indicating failed battery). Attempted to charge/maintain battery but battery charger indicated sulfated battery. Multimeter showd 7.5V. Replaced battery and car started normally but all computer functions were reset to factory defaults. The failure of the power steering and brakes due to a faulty battery is an extreme safety issue. The fact that the battery is only 3 years old and internally corroded to the point it can't be charged is both disappointing and an additional safety hazard.

The TBS sensor or switch that tells the vehicle when it has been put in park is malfunctioning. It is not allowing me to park the vehicle correctly and forcing me to start and stop the car multiple times before registering that it is in park. Also, while driving it causes the doors to lock or unlock due to sensing the vehicle is in park or not. To my knowledge this is a widespread issue with GM from 2013-2020. The vehicle has less than 70,000 miles and should not be creating a safety concern for my wife or baby. This needs to be looked into and fixed via a recall. The consumer should not have to pay for the cheap part GM used and should not be failing within 3 years of purchasing the vehicle.
Eco stop/ start died three times since I bought car. I am unable to turn off this option and the accident feature starts to break when I-€™m not near another car. Any Electrical issues cause the car not to start.
When placing the vehicle in park and turning off the vehicle there is a message on the dashboard saying -€˜shift to park-€™ and the vehicle will not shut off, and you cannot lock the vehicle due to the error message.
1. The power steering (confirmed by dealership) is causing vehicle to pull very hard in one direction 2. Something fuel related does not allow my car to accelerate properly. Foot will be on the throttle and accelerating and without moving the throttle the vehicle will slow, RPMS will drop then suddenly begins to accelerate again. 3. Car states it-€™s not in park after I shift into park.
On mutiple occasions I have lost power steering and power brakes. The Brake and Traction Control lights will illuminate on the dash, but the physical buttons do not and are unresponsive.
