POWER TRAIN, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)
The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while shifted to park(P), the vehicle failed to turn off with an error message displayed "Shift to Park" on the instrument panel. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired due to the cost. The vehicle was later taken to an independent mechanic for a second opinion where it was determined that the transmission control module and shifter harness needed to be replaced. Additionally, an inline shifter wiring harness jumper needed to be added. The contact was advised by the independent mechanic that the failure could be related to TSB: 19-NA-206; however, the vehicle was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

When putting car in park, it continues to show a shift to park error message and will not power down all the way. I have to restart the car and shift in and out of park several times before the car will shut off. Often times when stopping at lights/stop signs the car will shift super hard and jerk into gear when trying to start moving again. This occasionally happens when it should be shifting going up hills as well.

When shifting to Park error, the car will not turn off and on. This should be a recall! It affects many models and is well documented. They start with the sensor and eventually replace the whole transmission to try to fix the issue. This should not be on the customer! This is a Defect!

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
First time occurrence , while driving on highway when all of a sudden the vehicle begin to forcefully jerk then immediately after we heard loud thump. The “D” gear that’s seen in dash begin to flash and the car lost acceleration. Took truck to Chevy dealer, obviously not repaired. Second occurrence, driving on highway and all of a sudden again, the vehicle jerks, the “D” gear seen in dash begin to blink and truck lost acceleration. Warning lights appear at random times include park brake, then says park brake release, power steering reduced message, check engine light illuminates. We had to park the truck and pay for a rental car, as we didn’t feel safe to drive for 6 hours to our planned family vacation in Orlando. For this to happen and then happen again after extensive work at the Chevy dealer definitely put my family and I at severe risk each times because the car would not move while on a busy highway, dangerous to say the least. We have multiple service records and mentioned the initial occurrence that we thought was fixed but apparently there is a major issue . Disappointing that I don’t feel safe putting myself or my children in my own truck, for the fear of it happening again. Please help!
