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 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.

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
