2019 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

Recall N212356540 does not include the second flex pipe and gasket. I have spoken with several owners & dealerships who state this pipe is bad as well. My personal vehicle has a hole in the 2nd flex pipe that's not covered by the recall. The fumes inside the vehicle are suffocating.

I am getting a shift to park message while 2019 Cheverolet Traverse is in park. I am receiving a message when the vehicle has been shifted to park. I disengage the park brake, back up and come forward again, and the message continue to appear. I have to repeatedly wiggle or bang against the shifter for an extended period of time until the alert message turns off. This is forcing me to remain in a hot vehicle with my young children in the car in 100 degree temperatures, until I am able to successfully power down my vehicle. This is a safety risk for all.

Shift to park alert comes on every time I put my car in park. Vehicle has no issues.

When car is shifted into park and then push to start/stop is pressed to turn off car “ shift to park” appears and shift must be wiggled for message to go away. Problem has just started in the last month (May 2024).

When in park, "Shift to Park" continues to alert causing trouble turning off the engine. I've read this is common among the 2019 Traverse and many have been recalled, but my specific VIN has not. Can you help so I can get this fixed?

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving and attempting to park the vehicle, the gear shifter failed to shift into park(P). The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a failed gear shifter and wiring harness. The contact was informed that the gear shifter and wiring harness needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure reoccurred. The contact stated that the gear shifter and wiring harness had been replaced twice and the failure was the third time that the failure had occurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

Open service Bulletin No.: 19-NA-206 for Gm cars where gear shift connector/harness doesnt engage and car believes its not parked. Car has tried to roll away due to this. GM sent out alert but wont pay to replace unless under warranty. Bulletin states this is for multiple models from 2016-2019.

Shift to park issue. Vehicle again has shift to park issue after it was already been repaired. Causing vehicle to be stranded or not being able to be shut off.

My car stalled on a four lane highway due to the alternator dying. I was able to pull over but was almost rear ended. I only had 40,000 miles on car at the time. I replaced the alternator with a factory direct from Chevy on 3/16/2022. On May 5, 2024, my car again stalled out due to alternator. At that time I was on another busy highway but had enough time to pull over. I had to have someone pick up my children and follow me home. I was terrified it would stall again and I would cause an accident.

When you put the car in park and turn off the car, it will often give you a warning to “put the car in park,” beeping incessantly. Not every time, but often enough that it is annoying. The beeping can range from a few seconds to 10 minutes. If you get out of the car, if will keep beeping until you return. This is clearly a defect, and one that is common with GM cars around that time, according to Google and to mechanics. I asked my dealer about it, and the only way to fix it is to replace the gear shaft. Cost is at least $800. Seems excessive for something that is a known defect. I did not pay to fix.
