Description of the problem | 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. |
