2017 Chevrolet Volt complaints

'SHIFT TO PARK' MESSAGE APPEARS SOMETIMES WHEN TRYING TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. HAVE TO PRESS THE START/STOP BUTTON NUMEROUS TIMES UNTIL IT TURNS OFF EVENTUALLY.

CAR ALERT "ACTION REQUIRED: SHIFT TO PARK" WHEN TRYING TO TURN OFF CAR. HAVE TO SHIFT TO DRIVE THEN BACK TO PARK FOR THE CAR TO REGISTER IT'S IN PARK

THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT TO PARK AND SHUT OFF. THE SHIFTER IS NOT MAKING CONTACT WITH THE ELECTRICAL SWITCH THAT TELLS THE COMPUTER IT IS IN THE PARK POSITION. IT TAKES MULTIPLE TRIES TO SHUT THE CAR OFF. GM NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL TO REPLACE THE SHIFTER FOR ALL VOLT OWNERS.I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ON 6/27/20 AND THEY REPLACED A WIRING HARNESS WHICH DID NOTHING.

THE 2017 VOLT, WHEN PUT INTO PARK, DOES NOT DETECT IT'S IN PARK AND GIVES A "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE. THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF. I CANNOT LEAVE THE CAR. I AM STUCK ROLLING THE CAR FORWARD AND BACK MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL IT FINALLY REGISTERS IT'S IN PARK AND TURNS OFF. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTANTLY AND UNPREDICTABLY. I READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS A KNOWN AND WIDESPREAD ISSUE IN THE 2017 VOLT THAT GM IS REFUSING TO ADDRESS. THEY ARE ALSO REFUSING TO COVER IT UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGHT SHIFTING IS PART OF THE PROPULSION SYSTEM. I HAVE MISSED MEETINGS BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO LEAVE MY CAR. I FEAR BEING STRANDED WITH A CAR THAT WON'T TURN OFF. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING REGULARLY BUT UNPREDICTABLY FOR ALL OF SUMMER 2020.

WHEN THE CAR IS SHIFTED INTO PARK THE CAR WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN PUT IN PARK. ONCE THE MESSAGE APPEARS YOU CAN NOT TURN THE CAR OFF AND IT SOMETIMES REQUIRES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS OF SHIFTING THE CAR INTO DRIVE BACK INTO PARK OVER AND OVER UNTIL THE CAR WILL RECOGNIZE IT IS IN PARK. THE PROBLEM OCCURS RANDOMLY SOMETIMES WITH EVERY CYCLE

SHIFTER PROBLEM -- WHEN YOU SHIFT TO PARK, CAR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE IT IS IN PARK AND WILL NOT LET YOU TURN CAR OFF. CAR REGISTERS ERROR MESSAGE "YOU MUST SHIFT TO PARK" EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE ALREADY IN PARK.

WHEN THE CAR IS SHIFTED INTO PARK THE CAR WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN PUT IN PARK. ONCE THE MESSAGE APPEARS YOU CAN NOT TURN THE CAR OFF AND IT SOMETIMES REQUIRES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS OF SHIFTING THE CAR INTO DRIVE BACK INTO PARK OVER AND OVER UNTIL THE CAR WILL RECOGNIZE IT IS IN PARK. THE PROBLEM OCCURS RANDOMLY SOMETIMES WITH EVERY CYCLE ON THE ENGINE FOUR TIMES STRAIGHT AND SOMETIMES IT WILL GO THE SAME NUMBER OF CYCLES WITHOUT OCCURRING. I HAVE HAD POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE SINCE APRIL 2020 AND THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED IN AT LEAST 20% OF MY DRIVE CYCLES.

CAR IS NOT TURNING OFF WHEN STOPPED. DISPLAYS "ACTION REQUIRED" SHIFT TO PARK. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN AROUND AND CHEVROLET HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM.

WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR (BY PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK AND PUSHING THE POWER BUTTON), I RECEIVE AN ERROR - 'SHIFT TO PARK'. AFTER I POWER OFF THE CAR, I GET AN ALERT ON MY DASHBOARD THAT SAYS "ACTION REQUIRED - SHIFT TO PARK".

SHIFT TO PARK MESSAGE APPEARS WHEN YOU SHIFT TO PARK AND YOU TURN OFF THE ENGINE. SO EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE IN PARK THE ENGINE WILL NOT TURN OFF. VERY FRUSTRATING!

SHIFT TO PARK ISSUE. WHEN I PLACE THE CARE IN PARK A WARNING COMES ON STATING 'ACTION REQUIRED' AND WON'T SHUT OFF. I HAVE TO SHIFT TO DRIVE AND BACK A FEW TIMES FOR IT TO GO OFF.

AFTER DRIVING AND WHEN STOPPED, WHEN CAR IS PLACED IN PARK, THERE IS A NOTICE ON THE DASH THAT STATES, "ACTION REQUIRED" "SHIFT TO PARK", EVEN THOUGH THE GEAR INDICATOR SHOWS THE CAR IS INDEED IN PARK. BECAUSE OF THIS, THE CAR WON'T SHUT OFF AND SENDS OUT WARNING BEEPS FROM THE HORN. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE DRIVER DOES NOT KNOW IF THE CAR IS IN PARK OR NOT, AND DOES NOT KNOW IF THE CAR IS SECURE FROM ROLLING.

MY 2017 CHEVY VOLT IS EXPERIENCING THE APPARENTLY INFAMOUS 'SHIFT TO PARK' ISSUE. NEARLY EVERY SINGLE TIME I PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PRESS THE POWER BUTTON TO POWER DOWN THE VEHICLE. A MESSAGE POPS UP ON THE DISPLAY THAT SAYS 'ACTION REQUIRED: SHIFT TO PARK.' I THEN HAVE TO DEPRESS THE TRIGGER MECHANISM ON THE GEAR SHIFT AND JIGGLE THE WHOLE SHIFTER BEFORE THE CAR REGISTERS IT IS IN PARK AND POWERS DOWN PROPERLY. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM AMONG MULTIPLE CHEVY CARS BUT THEY HAVE NOT YET ISSUED A RECALL. MY CAR IS JUST OUTSIDE OF THE 'BUMPER TO BUMPER' WARRANTY, SO IT WILL COST A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT MY FAULT. WHILE I AM NOT AWARE OF ANYONE HAVING ISSUES WITH SHIFTING TO ANYTHING OTHER THAN PARK, IT IS VERY CONCERNING THAT THIS MECHANISM IS KNOWN TO BE FAULTY. IF SOMEONE ELSE WERE TO DRIVE MY CAR AND NOT REALIZE THEY NEED TO JIGGLE THE SHIFTER, THEY MIGHT LEAVE MY CAR ON AND DRAIN THE BATTERY. EVERY SINGLE TIME I TAKE THIS TO GET AN OIL CHANGE OR OTHER MISC SERVICE, I HAVE TO SHOW THE TECHNICIAN HOW TO GET THE CAR TO TURN OFF. THIS ISSUE IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AND WELL KNOWN. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OF THE SHIFT MECHANISM SO THAT ALL OF US CAN FEEL SAFE AND REASSURED WHILE DRIVING.

MUST SHIFT TO PARK; CAR WILL NOT SHUT OFF. ALREADY IN PARK, AND PUSHED VERY HARD TO MAKE ELECTRICAL CONTACT. SHIFT OUT AND BACK TO PARK SEVERAL TIMES TO MAKE CONTACT AND ALLOW CAR TO SHUT OFF. AT FIRST, ONLY ONCE A WEEK, NOW ALMOST EVERY DAY.

VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OFF WHILE IN PARK AND A 'SHIFT TO PARK' NOTICE IS DISPLAYED. VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE SHIFTED IN AND OUT OF PARK SEVERAL TIMES FOR IT TO REGISTER. HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS BULLETIN # 19-NA-206 ISSUED - A RECALL SHOULD BE MANDATORY AS THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE LEFT RUNNING UNATTENDED. IT IS A VIOLATION OF CALIFORNIA VEHICLE CODE 22515(A) NO PERSON DRIVING, OR IN CONTROL OF, OR IN CHARGE OF, A MOTOR VEHICLE SHALL PERMIT IT TO STAND ON ANY HIGHWAY UNATTENDED WITHOUT FIRST EFFECTIVELY SETTING THE BRAKES THEREON AND STOPPING THE MOTOR THEREOF.

I PRESS THE POWER BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE CAR, IT DOESN'T SHUT OFF. IT ANNOUNCES "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD. EVEN I'VE ALREADY SHIFTED INTO PARK. THIS STARTED OUT HAPPENING ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK, BUT NOW IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN EVERY DAY.

I'M GETTING A SHIFT TO PARK ERROR ON MY DISPLAY WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRY TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. IT DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THAT THE CAR IS IN PARK, EVEN THOUGH ON THE DISPLAY, IT SHOWS THE CAR IS IN PARK. I'VE GOT TO WIGGLE THE SHIFTER FOR A BIT FOR IT TO RECOGNIZE THE CAR IS IN PARK. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2017 VOLT.

THERE IS A "SHIFT TO PARK" WARNING THAT POPS UP ON THE GAUGE CLUSTER WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE CAR OFF WHILE IN PARK. WARNING DOES NOT ALLOW CAR TO TURN OFF. PUTTING ON PARKING BREAK DOES NOT CAUSE WARNING TO GO AWAY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS WARNING HAS POPPED UP IN THE 2 YEARS OF OWNING THE CAR. THE SHIFTER WAS ALREADY REPLACED ONCE AND ONLY SEEMS TO BE A TEMPORARY FIX.

BECM FAILURE. 1) SHIFT INTO PARK MESSAGE DISPLAYED. 2) FAILURE TO CHARGE, ORANGE LIGHT DISPLAYED. 3) SWITCH TO GAS WITH INTERMITTENTLY WITH BATTERY CAPACITY EXISTING. ERRATIC/FLUCTUATING BATTERY LEVELS DISPLAYED. 4) FAILURE TO DRIVE. 5) AC FAILURE.

I AM NOT ABLE TO TURN OFF MY 2017 CHEVY VOLT. I JUST GOT IT USED LAST FALL (2019) AND HAVE HAD IT LESS THAN1 YEAR. WHEN I HIT THE ON/OFF BUTTON MY CAR STATES SHIFT TO PARK ALTHOUGH I AM IN PARK. IT STARTED OUT ONLY HAPPENING HERE AND THERE IN FEB 2020 AND NOW ITS ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR. IT'S ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS MY CAR HAS TO JUST BE LEFT ON AT TIMES IN MY GARAGE OR AT WORK SINCE CANT SIT AND WAIT FOR FOR IT TO WAN TO SHUT OFF. .IN ORDER TO FIX IT WILL COST ME ALMOST 1K AND THIS ISSUE JUST HAPPENS TO START RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. I HAVE SEEMS SO MANY OTHER VOLT OWNERS ( HUNDRED IS NOT THOUSANDS) WITH THE SAME ISSUES AND READY MANY FORUMS DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE. I'M SHOCKED THIS HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET.

SHIFT TO PARK PROBLEMS. ON OCCASION, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO INTO PARK WHEN THE SHIFTER IS IN PARK. I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE TO PARK. I HAVE TO EITHER START THE CAR, SHIFT INTO DRIVE, THEN BACK TO PARK, OR I SHAKE THE SHIFTER UNTIL IT ACKNOWLEDGES THE PARK.

AFTER YOU POWER OFF YOUR CAR, YOU'LL GET AN ALERT ON YOUR DASHBOARD THAT STATES "ACTION REQUIRED" "SHIFT TO PARK". I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON FORUMS AS SUCH. IN SOME CASES SELF RESOLVES WITH A LITTLE SHAKE IN THE SHIFTER. IN OTHER CASES TAKES A FEW MINUTES TO ENGAGE PROPERLY. THIS IS ON GOING AND SEEMS TO BE INCREASING IN FREQUENCY.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE A WARNING AND ALARM PERIODICALLY COMES UP THAT THE VEHICLE CAN NOT BE TURNED OFF BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE SHIFTED INTO PARK EVEN THOUGH IT IS ALREADY IN PARK IT SOMEHOW DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AND PREVENTS THE VEHICLE FROM BEING TURNED OFF. RESTARTING AND SHUTTING BACK DOWN WILL EVENTUALLY CLEAR THE ISSUE OR SOMETIMES JUST "TAPPING" THE SHIFTER IN THE DIRECTION OF PARK SEEMS TO CLEAR THE ALARM

DASH BOARD DISPLAYS 'SHIFT TO PARK' ALTHOUGH THE CAR IS IN PARK ALREADY. THE ENERGY MARKER APPEARS FULL ALTHOUGH 0MILES REMAIN, AFTER 'AFTER SHIFT TO PARK' APPEARS CAR STAYS STATIONARY AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE NOR REVERSE. ENGINE DOES NOT START WHEN THE HOOD IS OPEN AND CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO LOSES POWER AND DOES NOT MOVE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AS WELL.

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

VEHICLE WILL NOT SHUT OFF STATING MUST SHIFT TO PARK WHEN IT IS IN PARK.

SHIFT TO PARK DEFECT. KNOWN ISSUE, MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ALREADY FILED.

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

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

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

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

WHEN I SHIFT THE CAR INTO PARK AND TRY TO TURN IT OFF, IT REFUSES TO TURN OFF AND SAYS "ACTION REQUIRED: SHIFT TO PARK" THIS IS ANNOYING AS THE CAR IS ALREADY CLEARLY IN PARK. THIS HAS STARTED TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME I TRY TO PARK. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT GM REFUSES TO OFFER A RECALL ON. WELL, I AM JUST GOING TO KEEP REPORTING THE ISSUE UNTIL THEY DO. *TR

GM IS FAILING TO KEEP SUPPLY OF PARTS FOR DISCONTINUED CHEVROLET VOLT. NO ELECTRICAL ENGINE HARNESS AVAILABLE FOR THIS VEHICLE. THIS DATES BACK TO PRE-COVID 19 SHUTDOWN. PARTS IN SHORTAGE 84082861 84034291. *TR

SHIFT TO PARK ERROR MESSAGE WHEN TURNING OFF CAR. CHECK THE FORUMS VERY COMMON ISSUE. RECALL SHOULD BE MANDATED.

THE SHIFT TO PARK SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE. EVEN THOUGH CAR IS SHIFTED TO PARK ALREADY, CAR DOES NOT SENSE IT AND IS NOT ABLE TO BE TURNED OFF. ONE WOULD HAVE TO JIGGLE THE SHIFTER AROUND VIGOROUSLY IN ORDER TO GET IT TO SENSE IT. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY. *TR

ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS, THE CAR SIGNALS "SHIFT TO PARK" WHEN IT IS IN PARK. THIS WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO LOCK THE CAR OR LEAVE MY CAR. THIS SEEMS UNSAFE TO ME. ON ONE OCCASION IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO EVEN TURN OFF MY CAR. THE TIME IT TAKES FOR THE SIGNAL TO GO AWAY HAS VARIED, BUT IT ALWAYS ENTAILS HAVING TO CHANGE GEARS OR DRIVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD A LITTLE BIT. THIS HAS OCCURRED IN IDLE POSITION, AT HOME, ON STREETS, IN MALL PARKING LOTS, MANY VARIOUS LOCATIONS. *TR

WHEN I SHIFT MY CAR INTO PARK AND PUSH THE POWER BUTTON TO TURN OFF, A MESSAGE DISPLAYS ON THE GAUGE CLUSTER TO "SHIFT TO PARK" AND THE CAR DOES NOT LET ME TURN IT OFF. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THROUGH GOOGLING I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER GEN 2 VOLT OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN I MENTIONED IT TO MY SERVICE WRITER AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY KNEW THE ISSUE WAS RELATED TO THE SHIFT LINKAGE/WIRING HARNESS BUT REFUSE TO FIX IT DESPITE BEING A KNOWN COMMON ISSUE. *TR

MESSAGE DISPLAYING SHIFT TO PARK WHEN IN PARK (SHIFT TO PARK ISSUE). SEE SERVICE BULLETIN 18-NA-297. EVEN THOUGH THE VOLT IS NOT PART OF THIS SERVICE BULLETIN, THIS IS THE EXACT PROBLEM OCCURRING. THE PROBLEM IS NOT OCCURRING EVERY TIME, BUT IS GETTING MORE FREQUENT. *TR

FOR THE PROPULSION MANY TIMES WHILE DRIVING IT OCCASIONALLY SLOWS DOWN OR SPEEDS UP KIND OF LIKE A BUCKING HORSE. FOR THE ELECTRICAL THE BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY TO MY CELL PHONE AND ALSO MY FOB OFTEN DISCONNECT AND THEN I CAN'T LOCK OR UNLOCK MY CAR. FOR THE OTHER ISSUE I HAVE A SHIFT TO PARK PROBLEM THAT LOCKS MY CAR AND I CAN'T SWITCH GEARS OR TURN THE CAR ON OR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN IT ALL OF A SUDDEN TURNS BACK ON BUT THE ISSUE IS THAT WHEN IT SAYS SHIFT TO PARK IT IS ACTUALLY IN THE PARK POSITION. *TR

WHEN I WOULD PUT MY CAR IN PARK, THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF. IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME AND I THOUGHT I WASN'T PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, OR I THOUGHT MAYBE I DID SOMETHING ELSE WRONG. IT WAS FRUSTRATING AS I THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY. THEN ONE DAY 'I WAS SO FRUSTRATED , I SLAMMED THE GEAR SHIFT INTO PARK AND IT ACTUALLY TURNED OFF. THAT WAS AN 'AH HA' MOMENT. SHORTLY AFTER THAT I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET MY CAR CHECKED FOR THE PROBLEM. THAT'S WHEN I GOT UPSET'THE GUY SAYS 'OH,IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME TO THIS MODEL'. SO THEN MY HUSBAND SAYS'SHOULDN'T YOU PAY FOR IT IF IT'S A KNOWN DEFECT. THE SERVICE ENGINEER SAYS IT'S NOT STILL ON WARRANTY AND IS NOT A RECALL. SO WE PAID THE $500.00 TO GET IT FIXED. BUT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL- IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE NOW THAT I KNOW THE CAR WAS NOT TURNED OFF MANY TIMES'SOMETIMES I ONLY KNEW IT WASN'T OFF BECAUSE MY RADIO WOULD PLAY WHEN I LOCKED THE DOOR'AND THE DOOR WOULDN'T LOCK. THIS SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE ON THE HIGHEST LEVEL..I PAID THE MONEY BUT TRULY IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BY GM BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE. SO THEN THE SERVICE GUY SAYS TO CALL GM, EVEN GAVE US THE NUMBER WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE GENERAL MOTORS BUT YOU NEEDED A CUSTOMER CODE SO THAT DID NO GOOD (855-462-2737). SO NOW I'M ASKING YOU GUYS TO LOOK INTO SOMETHING THE SERVICE DEPT AT DELILLO CHEVROLET SAYS 'WE SEE THIS A LOT'. THE PROBLEM WOULD HAPPEN WHEN I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS IN PARK'IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS IN PARK BUT IT WASN'T. THEY CALLED IT: SWITCH IN SHIFTER CONTA

COMMONLY KNOWN ONLINE AS THE "SHIFT-TO-PARK" ISSUE, WHEN THE DRIVER ATTEMPTS TO PARK THE VEHICLE BY SLIDING THE SHIFT MECHANISM INTO PARK THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE POSITION AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF. A MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE DASH DISPLAY INSTRUCTING "ACTION REQUIRED....SHIFT TO PARK." VEHICLE IS STATIONARY ON LEVEL GROUND. PROBLEM BEGAN AS INTERMITTENT, BUT CONTINUES TO BECOME MORE FREQUENT. *TR

MY 2017 CHEVY VOLT HAS AN ISSUE WHEN I SHIFT TO PARK AND PRESS THE OFF BUTTON THE CAR WONT TURN OFF AND THE DASH READS SHIFT TO PARK. THE CAR IS IN PARK SO I HAVE TO SHIFT BACK AND FORTH MANY TIMES BEFORE THE CAR FINALLY KNOWS ITS IN PARK. VERY UNSAFE HAVING A CAR THAT WONT TURN OFF. PLEASE FORCE GM TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS. ITS A KNOWN ISSUE. *TR

WHEN I ATTEMPT TO SHUT THE CAR OFF, I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE TELLING ME TO "SHIFT TO PARK" HOWEVER, THE SHIFT SELECTOR IS ALREADY IN PARK, THE CAR IS JUST FAILING TO DETECT IT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS CAR. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. IT APPEARS THE SHIFT SELECTOR SENSOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY OR FAILS OVER TIME. *TR

AFTER SHIFTING INTO PARK I RECEIVED A MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN SAYING THAT THE CAR MUST BE SHIFTED INTO PARK BEFORE IT WOULD BE POWERED DOWN. I WAS UNABLE TO POWER DOWN THE CAR. THIS IS KNOWN AS THE "SHIFT TO PARK ISSUE." THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. *TR

AFTER I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND I PRESS THE POWER BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE CAR, IT DOESN'T COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. IT ANNOUNCES I MUST "SHIFT TO PARK" EVEN THOUGH I HAVE ALREADY SHIFTED INTO PARK. NEXT COMES A SERIES OF TURNING THE CAR ON/OFF AGAIN, UNTIL EVENTUALLY THE CAR SHUTS OFF PROPERLY. I HAVE THIS ON VIDEO IF NEEDED. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT MANY PEOPLE ONLINE HAVE DESCRIBED.
