WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 45MPH I RECEIVED A LOW OIL PRESSURE SHUT OFF ENGINE. OIL WAS FINE SO WE TOOK IT TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED. LIGHT CAME BACK ON. THERE ARE NO CODES BEING STORED IN THE SYSTEM. EVERYONE IS GUESSING WHAT COULD BE WRONG WITH IT FROM A BAD OIL PUMP OR THE PAN NEEDS TO BE CLEANED. THERE IS A FORUM A BUNCH OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND SPENDING THOUSANDS AND GETTING NOWHERE. SOME HAVE HAD TO HAVE A WHOLE NEW ENGINE INSTALLED. GM SAYS THERE ARE NO BULLETINS AND THEY WILL GIVE ME A 100 $ FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED BY A TECH. JUST TO BE CHECKED IS 250 $ NOT INCLUDING ANY FIXES FOR THE ISSUE.

AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, SHIFTING INTO PARK AND TURNING OFF THE ENGINE, A WARNING MESSAGE APPEARS STATING TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO PARK. THE CAR IS IN PARK, BUT THERE MUST BE SOME TYPE OF SENSOR FAILURE. I AM PROHIBITED FROM COMPLETING SHUT DOWN OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL I CLEAR THE WARNING MESSAGE. WHEN THIS ISSUE FIRST AROSE, I COULD "JIGGLE" THE SHIFTER A BIT, AND THE MESSAGE WOULD CLEAR. NOW, ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER, I NEED TO START THE CAR, MOVE THE SHIFTER BETWEEN GEARS, AND THEN BACK INTO PARK. AFTER 2 - 3 TIMES REPEATING THE PROCEDURE, THE WARNING MESSAGE USUALLY CLEARS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE. A NEW SHIFTER HAS BEEN ORDERED. THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER.

MY VEHICLE IS STARTING TO NOT RECOGNIZE THE SHIFTER BEING IN PARK, THEREFORE WILL NOT SHUT DOWN. THE SHIFTER IS MOVED TO PARK BUT THE CAR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE IT AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF. IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN NOW. I HAVE TO WIGGLE IT AROUND SEVERAL TIMES, AND SOMETIMES TAKE IT BACK OUT FOR ANOTHER SHORT DRIVE BEFORE IT FINALLY RECOGNIZES THAT THE CAR IS IN PARK WHEN I WANT TO GET OUT.

WHEN I TRY TO SHUT OFF IGNITION I GET A WARNING ON THE DASH THAT SAYS TO PUT VEHICLE INTO PARK BEFORE SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK ALREADY. I HAVE TO SHIFT IN AND OUT OF PARK OR RIDE AROUND AGAIN AND THEN TRYING PARKING AGAIN TO GET IT TO SHUT OFF. ONCE I EVEN LEFT IT RUNNING AND WENT INTO THE STORE BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF DUE TO IT THINKING IT WAS NOT IN PARK AND IT WAS.
