POWER TRAIN
Shift Control Assembly (Shift to Park Issue) I bought a 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer custom, and around 57,550 miles it started throwing a shift to park error message. This does not allow me to turn my car off complete as it does not recognize it’s in park. It has been looked at by Dealer and parts are back ordered no known fix for it. This is a well known issue from Chevrolet but they only cover it under bumper to bumper and not Powertrain, but everywhere I read it’s a Powertrain issue. This will drain my battery inhibiting my ability to use my vehicle which is only 2 years old. This could be a safety concern since the car isn’t recognizing it’s in park therefore not allowing it to shutdown and leaving electricity running through it all the time. Let alone a huge hassle for the drivers of the vehicle.

I get a "Shift to Park" error message even though the car is in the park position as all indicator says it's in park. If I wiggle the shifter it would go away and come back on when i drive it again. On November 1st I came home from work and it would go off at all, I tried everything, wiggling the shifter, put in drive and back in park took if for ride around the block and it still would go off even after 20 minutes. My husband had to remove one of the battery terminal so the battery would die. It did reset it for a few days but now it's back. I reported the issue to the dealer the first time it happen but they can't get me for 3 weeks. This is a hazer if it doesn't go off as I can't lock my car and my husband isn't always with me especially when I go to work.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
For about a month now my vehicle is telling me to put it in park when it is already in park. Have to restart multiple times and go through all the gears put it back in park turn it off and still get the "shift to park" error. It does not happen every time I use my vehicle, but it happens so much I am unsure if it is safe to use. Even though it shows it is in park I wonder is it really? I have called the dealer where I purchased it for them to look at it and they will not even schedule an appointment because they say the parts are on back order and they have no idea when they will get them. This is the first brand new car I have purchased and after having a lot of secondhand vehicles I went back to Chevy. I am very disappointed in Chevy it only has 23000 miles on it, and they are not doing anything to fix this, I would not recommend Chevy/GMC to anyone.

When putting vehicle in park and turning the car off, getting message to place vehicle in park and car "dinging." This started about 2 weeks ago and was intermittent, now it's every time I put the car in park and takes me about 5 minutes of turning the car on and off, placing in park before it finally registers the vehicle is in park.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
When I shift my vehicle into Park and attempt to turn off the car, the computer gives me an error message, "Shift to Park, " even when the vehicle is securely shifted into park. With this error message engaged, I am unable to turn the vehicle off and lock it. I end up spending several minutes trying to convenience the computer that the car is indeed in park, by shifting it so it registers.

Bought last year in November. Starting having "Shift to park" alert when car was in fact, in park. Took me 5 minutes to successfully turn my car off. It happens intermittently and at first it was just one and done, now (after about a week) it's almost every time I park. It's very frustrating. I called the dealership and they can't get me in for 2 weeks. Unsure if they will be able to diagnose/fix the problem.

SERVICE BRAKES
The car would tell me to "shift to park" when my car is in park. I was unable to turn my car completely off if this message was flashing on the dash. I have had to leave my car unlocked and with the system on for periods of time when I had to get out of my car. There wasn't a way to be able to lock my car when this system was on, not even when I had turned the car off. I am always unaware if my car is actually in park or not. Very worrisome to think that my car would roll into an object, or even a person just because my car wouldn't register that I was in park.

Noise only when cold at front tire passenger side Nosie at front tire passenger side while steering. Check engine lite code PO299 Turbocharger/supercharger underboost-engine power is reduced. Replaced tire at 24600 miles. While driving at 65 mph, the forward collision avoidance system activated, and the car stopped at 65 mph. It happened 5 times that car fully stopped, and numerus time I get forward collision activated but then nothing happens. Imagine on freeway from 65 to 0 brakes by itself.

Nearly every time I park my car and shut it off a message pops up on the message board that says SHIFT TO PARK even though it is in park. I have to restart my car MULTIPLE times and shift to another gear and back into park before the message goes away. This has been happening for a couple of weeks but is getting more frequent.

when parking vehicle, warning comes on to place vehicle in park although it already is. Engine will shut off, but dash will not and it continuously dings. This causes the battery to die. This happens every time I drive my trailblazer and the dealership states there is no quick fix but to continue trying to put it in park repeatedly until alert goes away. Through research GM and Chevy vehicles have had this same issue for many years with no recall. I demand a recall as this is a safety issue after being stranded due to battery dying if alert is unable to be cleared with workarounds.

We own a 2022 Chevy Trailblazer and we have experienced the “shift to park” issue more times than we can count. We receive the “shift to park” message on the dash screen after the car has been shifted to park and we attempt to turn the vehicle off. This problem has caused me to be late to my job on numerous occasions and late to an exam that determines my graduation at school. Many users report being able to just shift through the gears a couple times or wiggling the gear shift and it shuts off, but that is not always my case. I have, on a few occasions now, had to remove my gear shift knob and panel completely, locating the park switch and manually bending it to recognize that my car was in park. Doing this will typically subside the issue for about a week, but no longer than that. We have tried to have the dealership see the message when taking it in for other things, but it never seems to happen when they are watching. There were no other issues with this vehicle before this started happening. We purchased the vehicle in February with about 44,000 miles. This issue has instilled fear in me every time I go to shut my vehicle off never knowing if it will actually shut off or not. Dramatic or not, it has caused unwanted anxiety and too many mental breakdowns that were not needed. This needs to be addressed and fixed ASAP!

My 2022 Trailblazer has had a shift to park issue. It’s hazardous as I have to constantly park my car in reverse to get the “shift to park” message off my dashboard screen. My car doesn’t shut off properly with this issue. My car is only at 19,700 miles. It should not be having this issue.
