The car cannot be shutoff and remains running until several actions of shifting the car in and out of the park position.

  The cruise control system intermittently fails to engage indicating an error with the system. After several random occasions it was finally determined that the issue is related to the brake pedal sensor not determining that the brake pedal has been fully released. It requires having to manually pull the brake pedal up to properly set the sensor to allow the cruise control system to engage. This does not present any clear danger in itself, however, after having the vehicle inspected the manufacturer service center states that the entire pedal assembly has to be replaced because of worn parts and that the pedal may continue to get worse. While the mileage has taken the vehicle out of warranty that covers this issue the car is primarily driven on the interstate with minimal wear and tear on the pedal assembly.

• 12/24/2025· STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  The vehicle intermittently warns about a Power Steering issue with no other indications to the problem. There are no physical issues detected while driving. The error displays at random times and will reset intermittently. This started occurring at the same time the car constantly indicates that it is not in park when trying to shutoff the vehicle even though it is clearly shifted into park.

  Issue: When the vehicle is put into park and the ignition is turned off, the vehicle may not recognize that it is in park and a message will appear. This can make it difficult to turn off the ignition and remove the key. The “Shift to Park” message appears in the Driver Information Center of my 2022 Chevy Trailblazer. The cause of this is a malfunction in the park switch inside the shifter assembly of my Chevy Trailblazer. My local Chevy dealer advised me that some vehicles are getting recalls for this issue, however my vehicle has not. There are currently two Class Action Lawsuits pending on this issue - one in Tennessee and one in Ohio. I would just like my repair to fall under a recall since there are so many issues throughout the United States on this part it does not seem fair that I should have to pay almost $500.00 (Parts and labor) for something Chevy knows is defective.

  The three bolts at the flange attaching the muffler to the upper muffler sheared off due to rust and the whole rear muffler fell off when driving the car on an interstate. Car is 3 years old and at the time had 65,000 miles. The bolts used are of poor quality, and to make matters worse, there is no exhaust hanger near this flange so the muffler is supported at the front by just this flange. Poorly designed by GM.

  Shift Control Assembly (Shift to Park Issue) I bought a 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer custom, and around 57,550 miles it started throwing a shift to park error message. This does not allow me to turn my car off complete as it does not recognize it’s in park. It has been looked at by Dealer and parts are back ordered no known fix for it. This is a well known issue from Chevrolet but they only cover it under bumper to bumper and not Powertrain, but everywhere I read it’s a Powertrain issue. This will drain my battery inhibiting my ability to use my vehicle which is only 2 years old. This could be a safety concern since the car isn’t recognizing it’s in park therefore not allowing it to shutdown and leaving electricity running through it all the time. Let alone a huge hassle for the drivers of the vehicle.

  I get a "Shift to Park" error message even though the car is in the park position as all indicator says it's in park. If I wiggle the shifter it would go away and come back on when i drive it again. On November 1st I came home from work and it would go off at all, I tried everything, wiggling the shifter, put in drive and back in park took if for ride around the block and it still would go off even after 20 minutes. My husband had to remove one of the battery terminal so the battery would die. It did reset it for a few days but now it's back. I reported the issue to the dealer the first time it happen but they can't get me for 3 weeks. This is a hazer if it doesn't go off as I can't lock my car and my husband isn't always with me especially when I go to work.

• 10/24/2025· POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  I am reporting a recurring “Shift to Park” malfunction with my 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer. When I shift the vehicle into Park and attempt to turn it off, the dashboard displays a “Shift to Park” message, and the vehicle remains in Accessory Mode rather than shutting down completely. The vehicle continues drawing electrical power and the battery drains overnight. This condition poses several serious safety risks: 1.The vehicle may not consistently detect or hold the Park position, creating a potential roll-away hazard. 2.It prevents the driver from shutting off or locking the vehicle, leading to security and electrical safety concerns. 3.If the vehicle remains powered in an enclosed area, it increases the risk of carbon-monoxide exposure. I understand this issue has been widely reported by owners of late-model GM vehicles, and appears related to a defective park/position switch or shifter assembly. I request a thorough investigation, appropriate repair, and confirmation whether this defect falls under a service bulletin or recall.

  Vehicle is little over one month old and has less than two thousand (2000) miles. Adaptive Cruise has been acting erratically. At times going at highway speed on expressway adaptive cruise would apply hard brakes 1. when approaching a overhead bridge. 2. passing a vehicle in the adjacent lane and 3. changing lane.

  For about a month now my vehicle is telling me to put it in park when it is already in park. Have to restart multiple times and go through all the gears put it back in park turn it off and still get the "shift to park" error. It does not happen every time I use my vehicle, but it happens so much I am unsure if it is safe to use. Even though it shows it is in park I wonder is it really? I have called the dealer where I purchased it for them to look at it and they will not even schedule an appointment because they say the parts are on back order and they have no idea when they will get them. This is the first brand new car I have purchased and after having a lot of secondhand vehicles I went back to Chevy. I am very disappointed in Chevy it only has 23000 miles on it, and they are not doing anything to fix this, I would not recommend Chevy/GMC to anyone.

  The exhaust and muffler completely detached from the catalytic converter/exhaust manifold while driving down the road. If we were driving at a higher rate of speed, the exhaust pipe could've caught on any imperfection on the roadway and shot the rear end of the vehicle up and then potentially caused an accident/death. This has happened to many I have discovered upon further research and is a common problem with the vehicle according to the dealership. Vehicle has been towed to the dealership to be inspected and/or repaired. Zero warning signals, lamps, or messages.

  My car has been well maintained and always taken for service according to recommendations from the manufacturer. My brakes have ALWAYS squealed since I first bought it new but apparently there’s nothing they can do about it so I’ve just dealt with it. Now a more serious concern I am having after manufacturer warranty is my dash is displaying a shift to park message every time I shift into park and turn off my car. I also might add that this has been going on with others! Chevy doesn’t think it’s a concern when it is a very serious issue. I have children and once when I went to get gas after almost being on empty my car wouldn’t turn off because of that error and I couldn’t get gas. I tried turning it off and on multiple times to fix but it just didn’t want to work when I needed it most. I have to aggressively charge gears go get it to work most of the time. It’s a serious issue that has been brought to their attention and shouldn’t be happening to a vehicle under 50,000 miles and well maintained. These issues need to be addressed there’s no reason I should have to pay to fix an issue this extensive and costly in a 2022 vehicle.

  My brakes squeal on occasion. At slow speeds when stopping the brake pedal goes soft. The suv pulls to the left slightly and a metal on metal sound begins to emit from the drivers side braking system. The sound changes to something I can only describe as from a video game or a raptor from The Jurassic Park movies. I have videos of the sound, although they do it no justice. The dealership couldn't reproduce the sound. It happens when it wants. No warning lamps come on. It feels like the car won't stop on time when this happens. The vehicle is available for inspection.

  The bolts attaching my muffler to my exhaust pipe sheared off of my 30,000 mile 2022 chevy trailblazer at highway speed, launching them into my muffler. My exhaust pipe dropped-at 70 miles an hour it could have ripped off, and I am lucky the bolts went into my muffler and not something more vital. Also, If the pipe or muffler had fallen, I-or someone behind me- could have run over it causing potential control issues. I am seeing that this is a common problem on various consumer forums. There was NO warning- didn't even get a check engine light after the fact- things just got REALLY loud. I was fortunate to be close to an exit (as I was in a construction zone) and was able to get a tow to the nearest dealership.

Again I call again complaining about the brakes they say they will look again this time they say they have looked to see if there is any recalls and don’t see any so they grease the brakes they said if this don’t fix it then I would say that you just have very good brakes that’s what good brakes sound like. I’m fixing to have a baby and I’m worried that this could be potentially harmful with me one of these days not being able to stop because the brakes go bad.

  Shifter does not recognize its in park, from what I read this affects thousands. Why am I having to sit in my car for minutes at a time? is Chevy not required to handle the fixing of that switch.
