My vehicle just hit 39K miles, it has all of a sudden started giving me a Shift Into Park warning. The sensor is not registering that its in park and will not let you turn car off. There is a recall on the 2017-2018 vehicles for this issue and but many report an issue with the 2019, when I called GMC they would not fix. How to we go about having this included in the recalls?

My vehicle has a severe launch shudder in 1st gear from a stop, and while driving along when I’m in 4th gear, or during the 2-3 upshift or 3-2 downshift. It shakes the entire suv so bad I have to stop accelerating. The vehicle becomes uncontrollable which is a major safety risk.

Nothing has happened yet, however this recall has been known for almost a year and GM is not working to resolve the issue. They only state that there is no ETA on the remedy. The agent also lied to me about when the recall was issued. He told me February of 2024 and my letter was sent and dated June 2023.
