Transmission Gear Indicator Problems of Chevrolet Volt

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.

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Volt. While driving approximately 25 mph, the check engine indicator illuminated. The contact stated that the gas engine turned on while there was a significant amount of battery range left. As a result, the contact had to coast the vehicle downhill to the side of the road. The contact attempted to place the gear into drive; however, the gear shifter did not recognize that the vehicle was in drive. Instead, the gear shifter indicated that the vehicle was in the park position. The vehicle failed to move forward or in reverse. The contact was unable to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to allen gwynn Chevrolet (located at 1400 s brand blvd, glendale, CA 91205, 818-528-8597) where it was diagnosed that the gear shifter needed to be replaced; however, the repair was no longer covered under warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and opened a case. The approximate failure mileage was 35,066.

The instrument cluster gear indicator registers the vehicle as in park, but when attempting to power down the vehicle an error message occurs directing the driver to shift the vehicle into park. When exiting the vehicle the doors will not lock.
