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.

      The Peckish Synapse

      One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...

      L8S For 2027

      By C/K Man · Posted

      'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.

      New Duramax rumor?

      New engines will still be using DEF. You just won't have the limp modes occurring when you run out of DEF now.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      I am not a NOCO fan for a charger I would leave on a battery 24/7. The reason is, it doesn't really float. It waits until the battery drops to a certain voltage and then charges it back up to 14V. It's better than no charger I guess.

      I would never do anything but lithium.   If the vehicle is stored, just turn the disconnect off. My batteries are completely disconnected form everything in the trailer when my disconnect is off. Trailers don't always come that way as some still keep the CO/LPG monitor on. When mine is off...it is off.   As far as storage temps, LiFePO4 are good down to -20°C. I would store them in a heated place if it goes below that. You can also get heating mats with a thermostat if power is available.   The way the heaters work, if it's below 0°C, if a charge comes in, it is directed entirely to the heater until the battery gets above 0°C and then it allows the charge to go to the battery.   For my Android tablet I use as a display, I can move it inside my house if I was ever in an area that got super cold.
