2018 CHEVROLET VOLT Complaints

WHEN THE CAR IS SHIFTED TO PARK AND TURNED OFF, A "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE APPEARS. THE CARE HAS TO BE RESTARTED, SHIFTED OUT OF PARK, AND BACK TO PARK AGAIN IN ORDER TO TURN THE CAR OFF. THE PROBLEM IS CURRENTLY SPORADIC.ABOUT 8 OCCURRENCES SINCE EARLY JUNE, 2020.

"SHIFT TO PARK" ERROR DISPLAYS AFTER SHIFTING THE CAR INTO PARK. WHEN THIS ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS, I AM UNABLE TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN I TRY TO TURN THE CAR OFF, IT SAYS I MUST SHIFT TO PARK, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS ALREADY IN PARK. AS A RESULT, I CAN'T TURN THE CAR OFF AND I CAN'T LEAVE IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO LOCK THE DOORS WHEN IN THIS STATE. *TR

AFTER SHIFTING TO PARK AND PUSHING THE POWER BUTTON TO TURN THE CAR OFF, I GET THE MESSAGE "SHIFT TO PARK.", AND THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF. IT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THE CAR IS IN PARK. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. THE CHEVY DEALER FIXED THE PROBLEM IN OCTOBER OF 2019 AND IT WORKED UNTIL RECENTLY. *TR

"SHIFT TO PARK" WARNING ALERT ISSUED WHEN SHIFTER IS ALREADY IN PARK. THIS ISSUE OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AT LEAST 3X A DAY. WIGGLING AND/OR RESHIFTING TO PARK SOMETIMES RESOLVES THE ISSUE. MORE EFFORT AND TIME TO "PLAY" WITH THE SHIFTER IS REQUIRED IN THE LAST MONTH TO MAKE THE WARNING GO AWAY. ONLINE RESEARCH RESULTED IN MULTIPLE REPORTS INCLUDING VIDEOS ON THE ISSUE WITH THE SHIFTER ASSY. THIS ISSUE STARTED OCCURRING WHEN THE CAR WAS 1.5YEARS OLD. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE SYSTEMIC WITH OTHER SIMILAR GM MODELS. PLEASE CONSIDER ISSUING RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN OFF CAR AFTER DRIVING AND AFTER SHIFTING THE CAR INTO PARK, A MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE SCREEN TO SHIFT THE CAR TO PARK. EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS ALREADY IN PARK THE MESSAGE REMAINS, AND THE CAR WON'T TURN OFF, OR WILL ONLY TURN OFF AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS AT SHIFTING THE CAR OUT OF AND BACK INTO PARK.

CAR SENDS NOTIFICATION TO "SHIFT TO PARK" WHEN SHIFTER IS IN THE PARK POSITION AND GEAR SELECTION INDICATOR DISPLAY INDICATES "P". CAR WILL NOT SHUT DOWN UNTIL SHIFT TO PARK CONDITION HAS BEEN SATISFIED BY FINESSING THE SHIFTER. THIS IS AN ISSUE OF SAFETY BECAUSE THE CAR CANNOT BE TURNED OFF.

I AM HAVING THE SHIFT TO PARK ISSUE. THE ENGINE WILL NOT TURN OFF ALTHOUGH THE CAR IS IN PARK. THIS ISSUE IS WELL KNOWN TO USERS AND TO DEALERS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL

WHEN I SHUT DOWN POWER IN PARK ON MY 2018 CHEVY VOLT (THE CAR IS STATIONARY) THE CAR WILL NOT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYS "SHIFT TO PARK". ESSENTIALLY, THE CAR IS NOT RECOGNIZING THAT THE CAR IS ALREADY IN PARK. I CAN NOT WALK AWAY FRO MY CAR BECAUSE IT REMAINS ON. IT TAKES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS UNTIL IT ULTIMATELY WILL SHUT OFF. THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON ISSUE AS REPORTED BY OTHER CHEVY OWNERS.

AFTER FULLY CHARGED MY CAR, I PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING GARAGE AND INTO AN AVAILABLE PARKING STALL AT WORK ON FRIDAY JANUARY 24TH 2020 AT APPROXIMATELY 1:50PM. I LET MY CAR CRUISE INTO THE STALL WHILE MY FOOT IS COVERING THE BRAKES. HALFWAY INTO THE PARKING STALL, THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. I APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT DID NOT HELP. IT STOPPED ONLY WHEN IT JUMPED THE FRONT CONCRETE STALL WITH 2 FRONT WHEELS AND HIT THE TREES THEN ROLLED BACK. I THEN IMMEDIATELY SHIFT THE GEAR TO PARK. THE DAY WAS SUNNY AND ROAD CONDITION WAS DRY. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT IT HIT THE TREES AND NOT OTHER CARS IF I WERE TO TAKE THIS OUT ON THE ROAD. THE ATTACHED PICTURES SHOWS TIRE MARKS AS I AM TRYING TO BRAKE AND THE TIRE WEARS.
