When shifting my vehicle into Park, the message “Shift to Park” appears even though the gear lever is already in the Park position. The vehicle does not always recognize that it is in Park, which prevents it from fully shutting off and poses a potential rollaway or battery drain risk. Often the radio/bluetooth components remain on. This issue creates a safety concern when parking, especially on inclines or in public areas and I live on a dangerous steep driveway. The problem was confirmed by Montgomery Chevrolet on October 28, 2024, after I paid $175 for a diagnostic that is not covered under warranty. They verified the “Shift to Park” malfunction and provided a repair estimate of $1,796.55. The vehicle and component are available for inspection upon request with videos and photos of the "shift to park" error log. This began appearing shortly before the dealer visit and has continued since. Video available upon request* Unable to upload

Around 65,000 miles I started to get a "Shift to Park" message when I tried to turn off the engine. The car was already in park. This is continuing to happen. I see that it has been an issue on this model since 2016. There needs to be a recall on this issue. You need to be able to turn off your car. Service Bulletins have been sent out but no recall.

When attempting to put my 2022 Chevy Traverse in "Park," the vehicle does not always recognize that it is in the Park position. As a result, the system will not allow me to fully turn off the engine or power down the vehicle. I often have to shift between gears and attempt to place it in Park multiple times before the vehicle senses it correctly. This issue occurs intermittently and poses both safety and usability concerns, as the vehicle may not be fully secured when I believe it is in Park.

Nearly every time I go to turn the power off the screen says "shift to park" but it's in park. The engine turns off and the vehicle SEEMS to be in park, but who knows? Then it keeps "dinging" and won't turn off. When I walk away with the keys it honks at me. I'm assuming it eventually turns off, I've been setting the parking brake. I checked google and lots of people are talking about this issue - I would recommend GM do a recall for this as it's super annoying and potentially a safety issue if the vehicle doesn't know what gear its in.

When parking vehicle and putting shifter in park, an audible alarm was dinging and the dash board was flashing shift to park. It was already in park. I did some things and it stopped. Many times I have my 7 grandchildren in the car with me. This has happened more than once and I feel its unsafe to exit my car until I get it to stop. I don’t know whats causing it. My husband said it happen to him too.

When putting vehicle in park the vehicle will say “Switch to park” even though vehicle is registering it’s in Park position. There are many other people online claiming this is a recall on 2022 Chevy traverses. It says this may be a faulty switch on the transmission.

I have a 2022 Chevrolet Traverse. OnStar suddenly stopped working in my vehicle. Chevy dealership diagnosed it and said that the telecommunications control module is bad and needs replaced. I haven’t even had this vehicle that long and suddenly the telecommunications control module is bad. This is a safety issue because when traveling and if something were to happen (accident, emergency) I have no access to my OnStar. Also, I am being told that I have to pay for this out of pocket and the part is on back order and will not be here until mid July (I have to wait another month and a half).

per the tech at the dealership the noise in my engine is coming from the front exhaust pipe near the hanger it is starting to rust and has made a small hole that is causing the excessive engine noise. gm has a special coverage bulletine for the 2021 traverse (n22238550) this is the same exact thing my 2022 travers is doing. This is so unsafe , you can smell fumes in the vehicle and the car is getting bad mileage and the engine is very loud. The dealer and chevy c/s said there is nothing they can do because the 2022 traverse are not included in the gm special coverage(n22238550). Gm needs to take response ability for the 2022 as well and fix the issue and replace the pipe and the catalytic converter. Hope someone will listen and take this serious and make gm do the right thing for the consumer.

leased vehicle brand new in 4/22 and have had nothing but issues since then.. new radio/navigation (would stay on with car off), torque tube replaced, chip malfunctions, grinding issue with truck steering wheel that pulls at times from this- truck red dash light blinking & truck dead stopping at 60mph on highway. truck has been to service center for months in & out. have been told many times they cannot duplicate the stopping issue so therefore cannot fix it. Electrical codes pulled & are active. The truck is NOT SAFE!! my 2 year old was in it when it dead stopped on the highway.

Vehicle has been owned for 15 months. This vehicle has been to Chevrolet dealer for the same problem over 7 times. Radio and instrument cluster has turned off and screen has stayed black. I’m august it made vehicle unsafe to drive and operate and had to be towed. Dealer replaced radio screen twice and problem still persists. Cruises control becomes unavailable at random times and won’t function until you power cycle vehicle. Phone and radio will not pair or function together at random times. Pedestrian warning would randomly brake vehicle when driving and no obstacles nor pedestrians were near by. Was almost involved in a collision due to this. Chevrolet dealer has been unable to diagnose electrical problem even after changing radio twice, amplifier once due to it having overheated and burned out, pedestrian module once. Continue to have same problems.current odometer reading is at 37,200

2022 Traverse won't start everyday, needs Jump start multiple times a day. "Battery Saver Active" is displayed on dashboard. Randomly noticed "service ECS", "service parking brake" messages on dashboard. This vehicle is not reliable and will have you stranded in middle of road, vehicle is driven only 6K miles.
