So I started getting a shift to park message on my 2019 trail boss when I turn my truck off. Has anyone else experienced this? Usually I can start my truck then turn it back off and it'll be fine but now it's getting to the point I have to actually back my truck up and pull it back forward and then turn it off to get the message off and fully turn off my truck.

I have this problem too, so thank you for your posts. The problem had been intermittent, and annoying. And murphy’s law, it didn’t show up when I took the truck to the dealer for the repair; no codes

I have a 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country that does this regularly.  The dealer told me they don't have a fix for it yet.  It is irritating.  Usually it will stop displaying the message after 15-30 seconds.  I start the truck and move the gear shift through the gears if it takes longer.  The truck has less than 10k miles and 13 months old.

My 2019 Sierra does this as well.  I figured I would search here and Google.  Google lead me to a class action suit for the Acadia, which has apparently had this issue since the 2017 model year.  It is annoying for sure, and I can't seem to find any rhyme or reason for it.

I had this same problem in my 2017 Acadia. I did not get it every time but was always worse when I parked on an incline .The dealer replaced a transmission sensor and the problem went away.

Looked into it myself after finding this thread.  There is a micro switch under the column that is bad.  I jumped it and the truck shuts off normally. Trying to find the replacement part now.

Thanks!!! https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/profile/255553-jeremiah-martin/ I have a few months looking to solve this problem yesterday it got real bad wouldn't stop at all from the shift to park message. So did what you mentioned removed the 3  7mm screws removed the bottom cover and jumped the micro switch with a small fuse, boom!!!! Fixed.  Looking for the replacement part but so far so good thanks again!!!

Mine has started to act up more recently.  4 times yesterday alone.  Since I am under warranty, I am going to point it out to the dealer and see if they can replace the micro switch.  If they can, I will report back with a part number.  If they can't, then I will jump mine as well.  This shouldn't be happening at 24K miles.

I just bought a 2019 Silverado 20k miles and have the same issue. Happened twice today and there does not seem to be a standard process to getting the message to go away (start and stopped the car one time and had to actually drive and park again another). Any updates on the micro switch or exactly how to access it for someone that doesn't work on cars a lot?

There is one 7mm (9/32) bolt under the center of the column cover, take that out.  Reach under the dash where the cover goes through the lower panel, and pull the two apart to separate the top half from the bottom.  With the truck running, lift up the top half and turn the wheel right and you will see another bolt.  Remove it and repeat for the other side.  You can see the switch from the left side of the column as pictured above.

 

Reverse the process to put it all back together.

Thanks Sean. I'm taking mine into the dealer on Friday to get it fixed and will see what happens. Let me know if you find the switch (where to purchase) and if it corrects the problem.

I found the steering column parts diagram, but it only appears that the shifting mechanism is sold as a single part. I went the jumper route this morning because it has gotten worse and I’m heading out of town for a week. Hasn’t happened a single time after I jumped the wires, which has been 5 trips around town today.

Before I jumped the wires, I had the switch loose and it did it as soon as I hit the stop button. Bridge the wires with the blade of my pocket knife and it immediately stopped.

Let us know if they do anything to fix it, or replace the switch.

Follow up- I took it into the dealer and they confirmed (and GMC is aware) that there is an issue with the micro-switch (shift lever switch). They replaced the one in my Silverado and said that it has a two year warranty on the part. Part number is 84800776 Description: Control 4.004 N. I have not had the issue since they replaced the micro-switch. Hopefully this helps anyone else that comes across this issue.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
