2017 CHEVROLET VOLT Complaints

AFTER PUTTING MY VOLT IN TO PARK AND TRYING TO TURN OFF THE CAR, A MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED STATING THAT THE CAR MUST FIRST BE PUT IN TO PARK. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND SHIFT IN AND OUT OF PARK TO CLEAR THIS MESSAGE. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIME TO THIS CAR IN THE PAST WEEK. *TR

WHEN I STOP THE CAR AND SHIFT TO PARK, I GET A MESSAGE ON THE CENTER CONSOLE THAT SAYS "SHIFT TO PARK" WHEN I TRY TO TURN OFF THE CAR. I HAVE TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT HANDLE AROUND IN ORDER FOR IT TO REGISTER AS PARKED. *TR

ACTION REQUIRED SHIFT TO PARK APPEARS ON THE DASH WHEN I ALREADY HAVE THE CAR IN PARK AND ATTEMPT TO SHUT IT OFF. THIS DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO TURN THE CAR OFF OR LOCK IT AND I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE SENSOR TO READ. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I ATTEMPT TO PARK AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND CAN TAKE UP TO 20 MINUTES TO GET IT TO STOP. IT MAKES ME FEEL UNSAFE TO BE IN MY CAR WHEN THE CAR DOES NOT READ THAT IT'S PARKED CORRECTLY, ESPECIALLY IF I AM PARKED AND CAN'T GET THE CAR TO TURN OFF. *TR

WHEN MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, BUT THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT LAG TO GET UP TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WITH THE WHEELS BEING POWERED BY THE ELECTRIC ENGINE, THE RESPONSE HAD ALWAYS BEEN INSTANT, UNTIL TODAY. AFTER ARRIVING AT MY DESTINATION, I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DASH READ "SHIFT TO PARK," EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS IN PARK.I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN, AND THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE CAR TO DRIVE, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. THE ACCELERATOR DID NOT PROPEL THE CAR AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED. I AGAIN SHIFTED TO PARK AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED THE CAR BACK UP, AND THE FUEL ENGINE TURNED ON THIS TIME, BUT I RECEIVED A MESSAGE SAYING THE CAR WAS NOT CHARGING. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT, BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF, AS IT USUALLY DOES AFTER THE BATTERIES ARE SUFFICIENTLY CHARGED. I DROVE ABOUT 3 MILES ON SURFACE STREETS AND THE FUEL ENGINE REMAINED ON THE ENTIRE TIME. THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF LAG IN RESPONSE TIME BETWEEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND THE BATTERIES CHARGING UP ENOUGH TO PROPEL THE CAR, CAUSING AN UNSAFE RESPONSE TIME IN MERELY GETTING THE VEHICLE GOING AFTER STOPPING AT A LIGHT AND TURNING ONTO A NEW STREET.

SHIFT ASSEMBLY MALFUNCTION. I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TRIED TO TURN THE CAR OFF BUT IT WON'T. IT STATES THAT MY CAR NEED TO BE PUT IN PARK WHEN IT ALREADY IS IN PARK. IT DOES THIS INTERMITTENTLY. MANY VOLTS AND MALIBU HAS THIS PROBLEM AND REPORTED ONLINE AND TO YOU GUYS. PLEASE HAVE GM PUT OUT A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

CAR WILL NOT SHUT OFF, SHIFT LEVER WILL NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO GO INTO PARK TO SHUT THE CAR OFF. I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

MY 2017 CHEVY VOLT IS HAVING AN ISSUE OF NOT LETTING ME SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. IT SAYS ACTION REQUIRED SHIFT TO PARK. UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S ALREADY IN PARK AND WILL NOT LET ME SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. TODAY IT DIDN'T LET ME SHUT IT OFF EVEN AFTER SHIFTING IT TO A GEAR THEN BACK, WIGGLING THE SHIFTER, I EVEN TRIED TO LEAVE THE CAR WITH THE KEYS AND IT WAS STILL ON WHEN I WENT BACK OUT. (I HAD LOCKED THE DOOR WITH THE REMOTE). AND THE LIGHTS WERE STILL ON. I GOT IN THE CAR AND BACKED IT OUT AND TRIED IT AGAIN AND THANKFULLY THIS TIME THAT WORKED. THIS IS TRULY A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND IT LOOKS LIKE OTHER ARE EXPERIENCING IT, TOO. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT ONLY GETS WORSE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING SO THIS DEFECT IS RECALLED. *TR

SHIFT TO PARK NOT RECOGNIZED AND CAR WON'T TURN OFF. TAKES MANY TRIES OF STARTING CAR AND TURNING OFF TO FINALLY GET CAR TO POWER DOWN. MANY TIMES I LEAVE IT RUNNING WHILE I GO IN STORE AS I DON'T HAVE TIME TO JACK WITH SHIFTER OVER AND OVER AGAIN. *TR

MY VOLT PRODUCES AN ERROR MESSAGE: "ACTION REQUIRED: SHIFT TO PARK" AFTER PLACING THE CAR IN PARK AND TAPPING THE POWER BUTTON. AS A RESULT, I CANNOT TURN OFF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT A SERIES OF TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF AGAIN WHILST SHIFTING BACK AND FORTH FROM DRIVE TO PARK. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS EXTRA ACTION WILL ONE DAY PRODUCE AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION INTO A PERSON OR STRUCTURE THAT MAY CAUSE DEATH, DAMAGE OR DISMEMBERMENT TO MYSELF OR OTHERS. I'VE FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS ONLINE THAT THE ISSUES STEMS FROM A KNOWN PROBLEM INVOLVING THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY BUT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE WITHOUT CHARGING A $160 DIAGNOSTICS FEE THAT MAY INCREASE BASED ON THE ISSUES AT HAND, WHICH I DECLINED. I'VE MENTIONED THAT THIS WAS HEAVILY CATALOGUED ON GM FORUMS AND MY SERVICE ADVISOR AGREED BUT MENTIONED THEY ONLY OFFER NO COST REPLACEMENTS WHEN THE ISSUES HAPPENS UNDER 36K MILES AND I AM AT 44K MILES. A RECALL SHOULD BE INITIATED FOR THE REASONS MENTIONED ABOVE. *TR

WITH THE VEHICLE STATIONARY AND IN PARK WHEN I TRY TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE A MESSAGE COMES ON THE SCREEN THAT SAYS "ACTION REQUIRED: SHIFT TO PARK" ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE IS ALREADY IN PARK. IT DOES NOT LET YOU TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. *TR
