“'shift to park' issue. After powering off car I get an alert on dashboard that looks like this 'see image'. This happens even though the vehicle is set to park. Vehicle will not turn off until jiggling the shift handle or turning on car and re setting shift handle to park. Recurring issue.”

NHTSA complaint #11413280, filed 2021-04, 40,000 miles

“I purchased this vehicle from East Bay BMW in Pleasanton, CA on April 8, 2023. On August 28, 2023, to September 4, 2023, I began to receive messages on the dashboard stating shift to park. The shift lever was in park but was not registering this. I had to wiggle the shift lever to get the message to go away and be able to turn my vehicle off. On September 5, 2023, I had the same issue but this time no matter what I did the message would not go away and I was not able to turn my car off for 10 minutes. …”

NHTSA complaint #11542776, filed 2023-09

“When shifted into park, persistent error message that car was not in park. Unable to shut off the car despite numerous manipulations of shift. Few similar preceeding incidents were resolved by shift to drive then back to park. Goes to dealer tomorrow. Car running endlessly is dangerous. What if I could not stay with the car, or the car was on the local ferry. No one has inspected it yet. First time problem occured was in November 2024. Most recent more serious problem occured Friday. I am afraid to use the car since, and have not driven it since.”

“Started in late summer/fall of 2022 getting 'shift to park' error. The vehicle is in park and unable to turn off the vehicle when I get this error. I have noticed the error is more prone to come on when the parking break is also engaged or if it's on any sort of hill but I cannot pinpoint the cause of the annoying error. Sometimes I could spend 5 minutes or more getting the error to clear--usually am able to clear by doing a combination of moving/turning on/off the parking break, the shift and/or turning on/off the car and/or opening the door.”

“2019 Volt - Shift to Park issue My 2019 Chevy Volt is having an issue when shifted to Park from Drive and all shift stick positions. If you shift to park to turn off engine you get a message on console that says SHIFT TO PARK). You have repeatedly turn off/on engine/system to message to clear so you can leave vehicle off. System will not shut off until car reads that car is park. Something (sensor?) is not telling system that car is in Park.”
