I'm getting a Shift to Park message on my dashboard when the car is in park position telling me to take action with a loud dinging sound. I need to know if this is a GM issue? Thanks

When shifting into Park, system fails to detect that car is in park and gives the Alert/Error message informing driver to “Shift to Park”. This error prevents the car from turning off or locking. Further, driver is unable to differentiate between if the car is actual in park or not, which is a major safety issue. A car not recognizing being in Park, can pose a huge risk to the driver and any around the car when it is in this state.

Right before my warranty went off I had my car in for service. I also mentioned the shift to park light coming on after putting my car in park. They could not duplicate the problem. On the next service I mentioned it was happening more and more. They wanted to charge me a minimum of $500 just to look at it but also informed me it was a known issue. Because my warranty was now expired by a few hundred miles they wanted me pay if I wanted them to look. Absolutely not. Known issue with hundreds of the same complaint=‘s RECALL Fix our cars Chevy!!!

Error code P0128. Engine temp sensor keeps going off and on. Temp gauge drops to 0 and doesn’t read, AC goes out, check engine light comes on, steering assist is reduced drive with care notification comes up. This error code and same issue is all over GM forums. Thousands are experiencing this same issue, having to spend over $1000 to get it fixed. Ridiculous this isn’t a recall yet.

My vehicle was diagnosed with a faulty thermostat, specifically that the thermostat was sticking and needs replaced. My vehicle is at approximately 59,150 miles as of 12/27/2023. Prior to the diagnosis of the faulty thermostat, I intermittently received a warning message "Steering assist reduced - drive with caution", the thermostatic fan would run at full speed, and the P0128 check engine code was illuminated. These symptoms began approximately at the beginning of December 2023. The problem was confirmed by a certified GM dealership service department.

I took my vehicle to the dealership for the recommended oil change on 09/15/2023. I am extremely good about keeping up on the routine maintenance. Upon arrival, the technician asked if I knew that my check engine light was on. I stated no, it was not on during my drive in and has not been on previously whatsoever. I scheduled a diagnostic for 09/20/2023 and brought it back to the dealership with 68,191 being the mileage. It was determined that my thermostat needs to be replaced. I then began receiving the message Steering Assist is Reduced" which is very unsettling. I am finding that a lot of newer model 2019+ Chevy Blazer owners are struggling with the exact same temperature issue, even those with way fewer mileage than mine for example a person who just had 25K on theirs. This needs to be taken more seriously / addressed further by the manufacturer.

When I placed my car in park, I received a SHIFT TO PARK warning. I was unable to shut the car off. I had to return home because I was unable to leave my car. Upon returning home, I was still unable to turn off my car. I had to keep restarting, going in reverse, back in drive, then to park. Kept receiving the message for over an hour. I was trapped in my car, unable to turn it off or lock it. Took it to dealership and they are aware of the problem, but no recall has been issued. How can this be legal?? I had to repair the car due to the fact that I felt unsafe to go any where. My bumper to bumper expired in 2022 and this is not covered on the 6 year warranty. My car only has 37,196 miles. Is there anything you can do? Also if a recall is issued, will I be notified?

The vehicle will not shut off when placed into Park. A message is displayed saying Shift to Park and I have to try jiggling and slamming the shifter to hopefully get the car to turn off. I have found that this is a known issue by GM as documented in GM Service Bulletin 19-NA-206 Of course this problem started after the GM Warranty had expired and now I am being forced to pay hundreds of dollars to get it repaired when this is a basic design flaw My car is scheduled to go into the local dealer for repair on 11/16/23 as the problem has worsened over time and now I fear not being able to turn off and lock my car

I leased this car October 2019 and I had to tow the car to the dealership on December 12, 2019 for an electrical issue, as the car would not start. In June 2023 with 35,700 miles, I was driving the car when an error messages flashed on the dashboard. First message was to put the car in shift/neutral and immediately I was unable to move the shifter, the break got hard under my foot and the car "STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD". Then it kept flashing the following messages "SERVICE ESC" and "INFORMATION - ALL WHEEL DRIVE OFF" and the starter light remained "GREEN". I towed the car to the dealership, however, it took them a week to check the car and as a result the battery died and they missed the "Error Messages and CODES". Without the accurate codes, I was told I had to replace the battery and starter. When I picked up the car the air condition wasn't working, so I had to replace the compressor!!! I was very afraid to drive the car and I had it parked at home for some time. My husband and friends kept encouraging me to drive it etc. Eventually, I gave in and I started to drive the car, but still stressed and afraid and praying the car will not shut off again. The trauma of the car stopping so suddenly in the middle of the road and there was nothing I could have done - is very SCARY. I am just thankful that I was not on a highway when this happened - I could have been killed. However, I decided to drive the car and I now have 38,119 miles on the car. I had to take it to the dealership again on October 24, 2023, as when I park the car, although the shifter is in Park, the dashboard is telling me to put in in park and the Starter button will not turn off. I was advised by the dealership that I need to change the "Shifter Assembly" No one can tell me why the car stopped while driving in the middle of the road and I do not feel safe in this car anymore. I am just changing all the parts in this car one by one!!!

Two days ago I received an alert that says steering assistant reduced drive with caution then I noticed my temperature gage was all the way on cold and my a/c doesn't blow cold. My fan on the radiator blows constantly and doesn't turn off I was reading the chevy blazer forum and it seems to be a numerous amount of people with the same exact issue dating up to 4 days ago I do not see a fix for this issue. People have replaced sensors and thermostat but that does not seem to fix there issue I feel as though this is a known issue with no fix yet. Please I need some help here my warranty just ran out and I don't have $1000 to replace parts and this is my only vehicle and still owe $33,547

Hi My wife arrived home from work and put the truck in park. A message came up on the instrument panel saying shift to park and would not let her shut the vehicle off. I went out could not figure out what was going on because the truck was clearly in park. After moving the gear shift around the message went away and I was able to shut off the truck. A couple of days later when she got to work, it did it again. Moving the gear shift around turned it off. I took the truck to the dealer 10/18/23 and inquired about a recall for this because so many people are having the same issue, on several GM makes. No recall and I had to pay close to $572.99 for them to replace the gear shift assembly. We just bought the truck in Feb of 23 and paid cash. $30.000. At time of purchase the truck had 21000 miles. Today it has only 24000.

Here are the problems I've been facing: 1. Shift to Park Error: My Blazer often displays a "Shift to Park" message, even when the vehicle is already in the park position. This happens randomly and has no discernible pattern. As a result, the vehicle won't turn off, and I'm forced to repeatedly shift back and forth and apply excessive force to engage the park mode. 2. Steering Assist Reduced Message and Cold Temperature Gauge: Another recurring issue is the appearance of a "Steering Assist Reduced" message. At the same time, the temperature gauge gets stuck at the cold position, and the check engine light remains on. This seems to be a common problem among Blazer owners and requires immediate attention through a recall. 3. Fuel-Related Acceleration Problem: I've noticed a fuel-related problem that affects acceleration. The vehicle experiences sudden slowdowns, with the RPMs dropping, even when I maintain a steady throttle position. Then, out of nowhere, the Blazer regains speed and accelerates. This unpredictable behavior is dangerous and needs to be addressed immediately. 4. Random Loss of Power Steering and Power Brakes: On several occasions, my Blazer has lost power steering and power brakes without any warning. It's incredibly unnerving and puts both the driver and others on the road at risk. It's important to note that my Blazer is well-maintained and has less than 60,000 miles on it. These issues should not be happening under these circumstances. I strongly believe that these problems require the attention of the manufacturer, and I urge them to initiate recalls to rectify these safety concerns.

After shifting into park the DIC comes on and says shift into park. At first I was able to reset the transmission into drive and back to park and it would reset the DIC. However, today I was at a loss as what to do as it would not reset and the lights and horn were in a warning mode. Finally, I set the parking brake and the DIC message went off. I have not gone to the dealer but will make an appointment to do so. Our 2019 Blazer only has 18,500 miles on it when this happened. I have seen several complaints of this type when researching the problem. No simple solutions were offered other than a trip to dealer for an expensive fix.

When shifting to Park, and pressing the button to turn the car off, received an error "Shift to Park" despite being in Park and the car would not turn off. When researching the issue, many others have reported the same issues with other models of Chevrolet and GM vehicles. This is a known issue and GM has issued a service bulletin, but not a recall. I went to Reedman Toll Chevrolet in Langhorne, PA where I purchased the vehicle. They are also familiar with this issue as many others have experienced the same error. This was also an expensive fix for me out of pocket. It cost $660.

I looked online and a lot of Chevy products are having this issue. Something will pop up saying limited driving assistance then your cold hot gauge doesn’t work is get stuck your air conditioning quits working your oil gauge quit working your battery how much voltage you have quits working it falls your whole window up where you can’t see. This is an ongoing issue with most of GMC vehicles, especially blazers. This is a safety issue that could cause your car to blow up or your windows. The fog over where you can’t see and you have a wreck and I could kill you.

When I shift my car to park and turn it off the dashboard will alert me and say I need to shift to park. The car doesn’t recognize I just shifted into it, but it automatically unlocks my doors so part of it knows I’m in park. I’m not sure if I let my foot off the brake if it’ll start rolling & I haven’t attempted since it’s usually in my garage. It is currently at the Chevy Dealer to be “analyzed” but it seems to be a known problem they don’t want to recall.
