The "shift to park" alert keeps coming on even when car is in park gear. One has to either put car in reverse and then shift slowly to park more than a few times for it to finally recognize it is in park. Otherwise, one cannot turn car off and brake stiffens and hard to turn car on again. This is frustrating and poses a hazard. This has been ongoing for months.
When I park, the shift to park warning comes on and the vehicle will not shut down.
Car showing that car is not in park and constantly kills battery. Shift to park warning, antilock brake warning, parking brake warning, and forward collision warning continue to come on. Dealer says now partially covered under extended warranty after deductible, but battery needs replacement for $375.

defect includes issues with the electronic stability control (ESC) system and the electronic-brake control module (EBCM). These issues can cause the driveline protection system to activate unexpectedly. when i initiate gas after a stop the "stabilitrak" alarms and sometimes emergency brake initiates. it is available for inspection upon request. your safety is at risk from alarm sounding repeatedly at recurring stops. you also sometimes have to release the emergency brake or parking brake as it is initiated unexpectedly. this happens at a stop to start or accelerate but while you are actively driving. the dealer cannot reproduce they tell the customer. inspected by dealer. stabilitrak error messages on dash when it occurs. this first appeared a year ago roughly 12.16.2023. it happens mostly when the outside temperature is cold like below 50 degrees.
Twice my car has activated the Forward Assisted Braking while crossing railroad tracks. Both times it was immediately after a train had passed and it was clear to proceed. Both times my car came to an abrupt halt on the tracks with other traffic behind me. I cannot proceed until I tap the brake. And I’m worried I could be rear ended if it happens again while crossing during normal traffic.
Everytime I set my car to park it says shift to park, also whe I pull it all the way to the letter L it’s really stiff it doesn’t set.
On 10-31-2022 my Chevy app sent email that my vehicle was experiencing starter engine issues and that my vehicle could not start. Except my vehicle was starting and being driven at the time. Shortly after that my vehicle gave notification by dashboard that my steering assist was reduced and to drive carefully but I am not aware of having that feature or how it was reduced in the first place. On 11-1-2022 my vehicle was being reversed into parking and the camera view displayed the scene as if my course was clear but I was not and the vehicle collided with a pole. I’m not sure how this is even possible but I no longer feel this vehicle is safe for me and my family.
"Shift to park!" Keeps coming up on my dash, and sometimes nothing works. I get this message every time I park just about.
PURCHASED 3/1/2019 PROBLEMS SINCE 4/18/2019 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONING. REMOTE LEFT IN VEHICLE WARNING WHEN NO KEY IN VEHICLE, REAR VIEW MIRROR OVERHEATING (OVER 110*) CELLPHONE CHARGING PORT OVERHEATING, BLIND SPOT DETECTION MALFUNCTIONING, FORWARD COLLISION DETECTION MALFUNCTIONING, NAVIGATION AND IPHONE AUDIO CONNECTIONS MALFUNCTIONING. MIRROR WAS REPLACED ONCE. REAR CAMERA WAS REPLACED TWICE. THIS WAS AFTER A GM SERVICE PERSON WAS SENT DOWN TO ROTOLO TO LOOK INTO IT. SINCE THEN NOTHING HAS BEEN REPAIRED. SERVICE REPS KEEP SAYING THEY CAN'T GET IT TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEMS. WE HAVE VIDEO AND PHOTOS OF ISSUES. MATT WOLF WAS THE GM INVESTIGATOR. HE NEVER RETURNS CALLS/EMAILS. YESTERDAY AFTER SEVERAL PHONE CALLS TO DIFFERENT GM DEPARTMENTS, I WAS INFORMED HE NO LONGER WORKS WITH THE COMPANY. THE LAST THING I WAS TOLD WAS TO WAIT FOR A CALL TO BRING THE VEHICLE INTO ROTOLO SO ANOTHER GM SERVICE PERSON WOULD BE SENT. THAT WAS OVER 2 MONTHS AGO. SINCE NO ONE HAS CALLED I SCHEDULED ANOTHER SERVICE FOR SAT. VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN AND HAS TO SIT PARKED. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. PROBLEMS ONGOING SINCE 4/2019.
TURNED ON THE CAR AND A SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM WARNING APPEARED ON THE DASH WARNING ME THAT THE SYSTEM WAS NOT WORKING. TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT. SAME WARNING. BLIND SPOT SYSTEM NOT WORKING AT ALL CURRENTLY.
WHILE DRIVING MY 2019 TRAVERSE, WHEN I AGGRESSIVE BREAKING AND DOING A U-TURN I CANNOT ACCELERATE AFTERWARDS, WHEN I PUSH THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR IT DOESN'T ACCELERATE. I'VE BEEN ALMOST HIT MULTIPLE TIMES BECAUSE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE AFTER DOING A U-TURN. I HAVE MULTIPLE VEHICLES AND I KEEP FORGETTING ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT WHEN I'M DRIVING IT. HAS HAPPENED SINCE THEY OWN THE CAR ABOUT EIGHT TIMES.
WHILE TRYING TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, IT HANGS UP MID-TRAVEL. APPLYING ADDITIONAL PRESSURE CAUSES THE PEDAL TO TRAVEL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE DEALER SAYS THIS IS "NORMAL". ACCELERATOR PEDAL TRAVEL SHOULD BE SMOOTH AND LINEAR; ANYTHING ELSE IS UNACCEPTABLE. JUST ASK TOYOTA.
MY VEHICLE HAS THE FUEL ECONOMY SHUTDOWN SYSTEM AND IT'S NOT WORKING. IT USED TO SHOT DOWN WHILE ON A STOP AND THEN RESTART WHENEVER THE BREAKS WERE NOT ENGAGED NOW IT'S NOT DOING ANYTHING. THE AUTO STOP DOESN'T WORK IT'S STAYS ON A HIGH IDLE AT ALL TIMES
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
