2019 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

When putting car in park it does not recognize it is in park. The car has to be reversed, pulled forward and turned off & if that doesn't work then out into neutral & turn off. This has to be done numerous times before it recognizes it is in park. It happens often.

Both rear toe links and alignment. Vehicle has had a slight clicking or clinking sound coming from back. (Very quiet). During high speeds, such as highway use, vehicle appears to move back and forth more than expected while driving, and feels like its "rough running" as if something on suspension system is working harder at a higher speed. Dealer said this can cause excessive swaying of vehicle at higher speeds and therefore can cause accidents at these high speeds, especially on a highway road system. History: Bought pre-owned vehicle back in June 2022. Within 6 weeks, took into dealer FIRST time to have diagnosed amd repaired (both rear toe links and alignment). Dealer did replace the toe links, and stated vehicle was required to have a 4-wheel alignment after replacing, but that we as the owners were liable for cost of alignment. Extended warranty said that alignment should have been covered, dealer again said "No, wasn't part of the warranty or repair". I confirmed that it was absolutely necessary to perform this alignment. 12 months later, we took vehicle into dealer again for same sounds (soft or quiet clinking in back of vehicle) who stated both rear toe links are loose (again) and vehicle is required to have a 4-wheel alignment. Our warranty will again cover the rear toe links, but NOT THE alignment. Per the labor guide that the dealer uses for repairs and per our warranty, if a 4 wheel alignment is REQUIRED in order to replace the rear toe links, the alignment is supposed to be covered under warranty. DEALER is stating No. Both dealer and warranty company have access to the same Labor Guide information. This is a problem, and we heard from one other Chevy traverse owner that they had the same repeating issue. Why isn't there a recall for this?? Owners shouldn't have to pay for constant repair of the same issue if this is occuring, even multiple times on a yearly basis. It's expensive, several hundred dollars alone.

Shift to park problem. When the car is in park there is an error message stating ‘shift to park.’ I am unable to get out of my car, the car does not turn off or lock and I am trapped in my car in Florida heat with a car beeping or honking if I leave it

I am joining the ever growing list of Chevy Traverse (2019) owners who are experiencing the "shift to park" problem. When I turn off the vehicle, a message appears on the screen that I must shift to park even though the car is in park. As of now, I can usually jiggle it into place or move the car out of park and try again, but this is a safety issue I can't ignore. The dealer tells me they know of the problem and I am scheduled to have it repaired (or so they say?) at a cost of $425 plus tax.

Error message pops up saying shift to park. With this message on, the car will not shut off.

Transmission says it’s not in park, but it is. This is an ongoing issue with GM vehicles but my vehicle is out of warranty and “doesn’t fit in the vin break” of the TSB. If this is a known issue, and it’s a safety issue, there needs to be a recall

When vehicle comes to a complete stop once auto stop engages vehicle turns off completely. Unable to start again after many attempts. Vehicle always needs to be towed back to the dealership.

The car has continued issues with the “Shift to Park” defect that prevents drivers from shutting off and locking their vehicles. This keeps happening when the car is in park and for some reason doesn't read that it is. This a tremendous issue with this vehicle that GM should be covering because it's for multiple models and a huge safety concern. Customers should not be spending any money out of pocket for this safety concern that needs to be rectified by GM. Car currently at the dealer to get issue fixed to be told that this is a huge known issue that GM refuses to issue a recall on and that they have seen many vehicles come in and they have to replace the unit at the customers cost which is not fair. I've only had this vehicle for one year and no reason I should have had this many issues with this vehicle and such a big one that isn't covered.

Shift to park feature has starting failing. Causing several issues, the vehicle won’t let you turn it off or lock it. It is does not register that it is in park making it a hazard. There has been a high rise of this exact issue.

Shift into park message just started coming on even though car is in park. There are numerous complaints and lawsuits online regarding this. You have to jiggle the shifter to make it go away. Waiting for a response from local dealer regarding a quote to fix issue.
