Summary

“Shift to park” message when car is put in Park and car cannot be turned off. Reshifting fid not fix the problem. Drove it around a bit then was able to turn it off. Apparently this is a known defect. Dealer who fixed mine says he gets a few every week. Should be a recall since this is definitely a hazard. My car was 6 weeks out of warranty with 30844 miles on it do I had to pay nearly $500 for the repair. And after reading reports, it may recur.

Summary

Intermittently after I put the Trans. in park and shut off the engine I get a message to shift trans. to park. I repeat the process of starting and stopping engine and shifting in and out of park several more times. I can't leave the vehicle until the message stops appearing. If I get out and shut the door the radio keeps playing and doors will not automatically lock. I'm concerned that I have an electrical short and might catch fire. I park in a garage at home and could lose my home or life if it caught fire I have an appointment with my dealer 2/7/2022. As of this date I have not reported the issue to anyone. The problem started just before Christmas and stopped for several weeks and now it's back again. There are no pre-warnings before the issue occurs.

Summary

Left rear light side-marker assembly is not functional after 3 years in service and less than 29,000 miles. The side marker indicator inside the vehicle flashes rapidly (in quick succession) when the left blinker is applied. This indicated to me that a bulb was out. Initially, all lights were working when inspecting and inside flasher was quickly blinking. After checking multiple times, the left rear blinker finally stopped working altogether. This left rear indicator mark prevents others from knowing which direction I'm turning unless I stick my left arm out the window. The vehicle was taken in to dealership. Dealership said it needed the light assembly replaced at a cost of ~$867. We may have this done outside of an OEM dealership due to cost.

Summary

When I put the car in PARK, turn the vehicle off, with my foot on the brake; the dashboard relentlessly signals to put the vehicle in Park. It will not stop this notice until I stop/start the car a few times or repeatedly press the gear shift lever. It happens intermittently, but at least 3-4 times a week. As a woman, the idea of going shopping and coming out to a dead car battery from this problem is always in the front in my mind and some stranger “helping” me, instead mugs me. I am terrified that it will cause an electrical fire under my carport and burn my house down with us inside. I haven’t had my Premiere long and absolutely love it and I have been a Chevy fan for years, but I have always felt Chevrolet took care of their customers. Is it going to take a terrible loss for these Traverse to be recalled?

Summary

My 2019 Chevrolet Traverse LT with ~28,600 miles on it within the past month has been providing me with a 'Shift to Park' error on the Driver Information Center (DIC) when I have already shifted it to Park and shut the car off (engine no longer running). The shifter assembly is not recognizing that I in fact do not have it in gear and the car is in Park. The error does not go away until I re-start the car, put it in gear, shift back to park, wait a few seconds, and then shut the car off again.

Summary

I get a “shift to park” message after I have turned my car off even though it is in park. The warning does not shut off so I have to remain in my car and turn the car on/off and switch it into gear and out of gear in an attempt to get the warning to stop. At times, I have had to leave the parking spot and drive around more then park again to get the warning to stop. My car is three years old. This should NOT be happening on a three year old car. My car not recognizing what gear it’s in certainly isn’t safe.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that upon placing the vehicle into PARK, the shift to park warning message would appear on the instrument panel. Due to the failure, the contact had to readjust the gear shifter or restart the vehicle to correct the failure; however, those options do not correct the failure every time. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was given an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and informed her that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

I kept getting a shift to park error. The dealership diagnosed it as a problem with the gear shift wiring harness. It was a few thousand miles passed warranty so I had to pay about $300 out of pocket for it. It's been less than 2 weeks since it was "fixed" and I am now having the same issue.

Summary

Intermittent "Action Required" alert on the display to "Shift to Park" after already shifting into park and turning off the car. Sometimes after jiggling the gearshift it will stop. Sometimes have to turn the car back on and shift into reverse and park again. Sometimes have to do this several times. Appears, after research online, this is a known issue under TSB 19-NA-206, September 2019. I have scheduled to take to the dealership for inspection. But it also sounds like the recommended repair is only a band-aid that will require a further repair.

Summary

On Thursday 9/9/21, I found my car's alarm going off while parked in a parking lot. I was able to silence the alarm and enter the vehicle and turn it on. As I was driving toward the exit of the parking lot the windshield wipers went on, on their own and I was unable to turn them off. Then I lost control of my steering, several warnings and alerts went off on the dashboard and the car powered off in the middle of the road without any warning. Shortly after was able to turn the car on again and reverse and get it into a spot in the parking lot where again I lost steering, several alerts came on the dashboard and the car powered down again. I had my two young children in the car and we could have been hit, if this occurred on a highway this could have been deadly! I was able to start the car again, drove it around the parking lot safely for a few minutes and then the incident occurred a third time in the exit lane of the parking lot. We called for a tow truck. The car would not turn on again for several hours. When it did turn on it was moved to a safe location where it powered off spontaneously a 4th time. When the car was picked up by the tow truck the following morning the car alarm was going off again and the doors were locking and unlocking spontaneously on their own. Onstar sent a diagnostic report indicating an issue with the Engine and Transmission System. The vehicle was towed to Millenium Chevrolet in Hempstead. They were not able to check the car until Monday 9/13/21. They replaced the battery, but were unable to identify the source of the problem. After the battery was replaced, we were alerted that the horn was not working and the doors were locking and unlocking spontaneously.

Summary

When car is put into park and I turn off the car with the push button, I get a message of “shift to park”. The car is in park but the car doesn’t think it’s in park and won’t fully shut down. Warning chimes continue. Tapping the shifter control forward to the radio seems to kick it back in and the car shuts down with no more warning chimes. Looked this up online and there are numerous people complaining about this and it happening to them. Sounds like the whole shifter assembly needs replacing. It doesn’t matter if I’m close to home or a thousand miles away, what happens when I can’t tap the shifter to get it to shut down completely? Safety and mechanical issue that has to be addressed and fixed. Thank you.

Summary

Car began to not shift to park when attempting to park. Dealer said it was a common problem and it is a huge safety issue as if the car is not engaging in park it could be in an unsafe condition on an incline and begin to roll. There maybe other issues I'm not even aware of but I feel gm should recall this defect if it especially a known issue among many vehicles.

Summary

After shifting my 2019 Chevrolet Traverse into park, an “Action Required” message appears on the dash that says, “Shift to Park”. But, the car is already in park. Due to this action required message the car will not properly shut off.The only way I am able to shut the car off is by restarting it and shifting into reverse or drive, back to park. Sometimes it takes up to six times of going through this process to get the car to shut off. This issue has been going on for over a month. I arrived at the dealership for a scheduled oil change and the car did the same as I parked in their garage. I had a tech come out to see what was going on. He told me that Chevrolet was aware that this was happening in at least 4 models, including my Traverse. He immediately knew what the fix was. It was explained to me that there was a bulletin, but not a recall for this issue. The dealership said they could fix it for $140, and because I was 7,000 out of my bumper to bumper I had no choice but to pay the amount. If Chevrolet knows this is an issue then they should be covering the cost to repair it. It is bulletin #19-NA-206. They installed a SL-N-Switch and an N-Harness. They also removed transmission range selector and removed and replaced wiring harness on the selector to a newer design, that’s supposed to stop the issue.

Summary

My 2019 Chevy Traverse was purchased new in August of 2018. It has approx 34,500 miles on it as of 7/26/21. Tire size: 255/55 R 20 107H. The vehicle has been in for regular maintenance/service at the original dealership since it was purchased. Around March 2021, I noticed the outside tread on all 4 tires becoming brittle and breaking off. There are small chunks of the tread missing and some type of thread showing where the chunks have come off. I went to my local Costco and the associate in the tire department told me that I should not be driving on it because the tires could blow. I wanted a second opinion and went to my local Discount Tire. The associate told me that what was happening was called "chunking" and it was not common (actually rare to happen) and I should call Continental Tire. No alarms/warning lamps have gone off due to this issue.

Summary

When placing the car in park, a "shift into park" warning appears on the dashboard even though the vehicle is actually in park. The problem appears to be a shift relay that is not making contact with the metal tab that depresses the sensor telling the computer the vehicle is in fact in park. Not thinking the car is in park can cause a driver to panic the car is going to roll into another car, fixed object or another person. This problem has been confirmed multiple times and there is currently a GM bulletin out on the problem. The fix is to replace the entire shift assembly at the owner's cost - $500. The only warning message received is '"shift into park".

RESEARCH SHOWS THERE ARE AT LEAST 2 GM SERVICE BULLETINS WHICH COVER A NUMBER OF THEIR DIFFERENT VEHICLES. SERVICE IS SCHEDULED WITH THE DEALER TO FIX, BUT MILEAGE PUTS IT JUST OUT OF WARRANTY, SO WE'LL SEE HOW MUCH THEY CHARGE FOR THIS MANUFACTURING/DESIGN DEFECT.

DEALER STATED THAT CODE IS FOR CYLINDER MISFIRE NOT SURE HOW MANY. RESEARCHED AND FOUND SERVICE UPDATE N192281810 THAT READS MISFIRE DUE TO CARBON TRACKING RELEASED DATE OF MARCH 2019. IT IS THE DEALERS RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THIS DURING THE SERVICE PORTION OF THE NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD. MY VEHICLE IS NOW PAST THAT AND IS MISFIRING AND READING OUT THIS CODE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL VEHICLES REGARDLESS OF MILES DUE TO FAULTY COILS, COIL PACK OR SPARK PLUGS. IN THE ABOVE MENTIONED SERVICE UPDATE IT STATES THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH SEVERAL VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BY GM. ATS, CTS, CAMARO AND TRAVERSE. WHEN DOING FURTHER RESEARCH THERE IS NOT A WAY TO FIND OUT IF DEALER DID THE SERVICE WHEN GM SENT OUT THE SERVICE UPDATE. I LOOKED BACK AT ALL MY RECORDS FOR SERVICES THAT THE DEALER DONE SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND SEE NO INDICATION THAT THIS SERVICE WAS PERFORMED.

I TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID THAT THE BRAZING/WELDING POINT ON THE FUEL RAIL WAS FAULTY AND THE FUEL INJECTOR HAD BROKEN OFF AND WAS SPRAYING FUEL ALL UNDERNEATH THE CAR. IT WAS "TWO OR THREE TURNS AWAY FROM A CATASTROPHIC EVENT". THE CAR WAS HAD FUEL SPRAYED ALL NEAR THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND WAS GETTING DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME (MINUTES/HOURS) BEFORE THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE OR EXPLODED WITH THE AMOUNT OF LOOSE FUEL PRESENT AND I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS I WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IN TIME. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE FUEL RAIL AND SEVERAL OTHER PARTS. AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME. THERE WERE STILL FUEL VAPORS COMING INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE AND NEAR THE HOOD OF THE ENGINE. I TOOK IT BACK AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID ALL OF THE INSULATION AROUND/ IN THE ENGINE WAS SATURATED IN FUEL STILL. SO THEY WASHED THE INSULATION AND PUT IT BACK IN THE VEHICLE. IT STILL SMELLS LIKE FUEL VAPORS IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE.

Summary

2019 TRAVERSE WAS TRAVELING DOWN ROAD ABOUT ONE MILE FROM STARTING LOCATION CAR SHUT OFF AND ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON THAN NOTICED SMOKE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT., FLAMES SHORTY AFTER. FD WAS CALLED AND ARRIVED AND PUT OUT FIRE. A FLUID TRAIL WAS NOTICED BEHIND CAR LEADING TO OUR HOUSE (1 MILE AWAY). NO ISSUES WITH THE CAR UP TO THIS POINT. CAR WAS TOWED AND INSURANCE CALLED, NOTIFIED GM THE NEXT DAY AFTER SEEING A RECALL ON LEAKING TRANSMISSION (THIS VIN IS NOT ON THAT LIST). GM BASICALLY SAID THAT ONCE WE CALLED THE INSURANCE COMPANY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR US. INSURANCE COMPANY (ALLSTATE) SAID THEY WILL LOOK INTO THIS. CAR WAS A LEASE AND WE HAVE NO RECOURSE. IT SEEMS FISHY TO ME THAT SOME MODELS HAVE A RECALL AND THIS APPEARS TO BE SOME KIND KIND OF LEAK FROM THAT AREA. IF GM DOESN'T CARE HOW WILL THEY KNOW IF THIS RECALL NEEDS TO INVOLVE OTHER MODELS AND VIN'S OF THIS CAR. I UNDERSTAND THAT WE LEASED THE CAR SO WE LOSE AND CAN'T RECOUP ANYTHING NOR WILL THEY WORK WITH US TO LOWER THE COST OF A REPLACEMENT. WHAT IF MY YOUNG CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR OR MY MOTHER IN LAW WHO HAS A TOUGH TIME GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE CAR, SOMEONE COULD OF BEEN INJURIED OR WORST. SOMEONE NEEDS TO CAER ABOUT THIS. THIS HAPPENED IN NORWALK CT ON EAST ROCKS RD 06851. SUNNY CLEAR DAY CAR WAS MOVING FORWARD WHEN IT LOST POWER. NO RECENT WORK ON CAR, NO ACCIDENTE NORWALK CT FIRE INCIDENT REPORT 21-001007

THERE ARE CONTINUOUS DEFECTS AND CONCERN FOR SAFETY REGARDING MY 2019 CHEVY TRAVERSE. I PURCHASED A NEW 2019 TRAVERSE REDLINE ON MARCH 22, 2019 AND THE PROBLEMS BEGAN WITHIN TWO WEEKS AND LESS THAN 400 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING MY NEW VEHICLE ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD AND BEGAN TO SLOWLY PRESS THE BRAKE WHILE APPROACHING A STOP SIGN WHEN THE 'SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST' ALERT APPEARED, THE BRAKES MADE A GRINDING AND CLICKING NOISE WHILE SHAKING AND FELT LIKE THE BRAKE PEDAL NEEDED TO BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO STOP. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPLACED A VACUUM BOOSTER SENSOR WHICH THEY SAID WAS FAULTY. THEN TWO MONTHS LATER, WITH ONLY 1800 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN WHERE THE 'SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST' ALERT APPEARED, THE BRAKES MADE THE SAME NOISES AND SHAKING. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO BRING IT IN FOR SERVICE. DURING THIS SECOND OCCURRENCE, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SUGGESTED IT MUST HAVE BEEN A 'BAD BATCH' OF PARTS AND OFFERED TO REPLACE THE SENSOR AGAIN. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE AND DURING THE LESS THAN TWO MILE DRIVE HOME, THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED FOR THE THIRD TIME. I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. AFTER REPLACING THE SAME PART FOR A THIRD TIME, THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN. ULTIMATELY, THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS & ENGINEER ARE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE ISSUE AND MERELY SUGGESTED REPLACING THE SAME PART FOR THE FOURTH TIME. WHILE THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS OFFERED TO CONTINUALLY REPLACE THE SAME PARTS, THEY ALSO ARE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE AND STATED I NEED TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND PERHAPS THERE WILL BE A NEW PART UPDATED IN THE FUTURE.
