'23 Sierra SLT Electronic shifter problem

[Danny22]

I just bought a new 2023 Sierra SLT with the electronic shifter. Seems I have a problem when shifting into reverse to back out of the garage that sometimes when I let go of the shifter, it goes into Netrual and not stay in Reverse. Am I doing it wrong or is there a problem?
Thanks for the help.

My first guess would be started moving shifter before button was depressed enough.

You might be right. Normally I press the brake to start the engine, keeping my foot on the brake then select R, if I let go of the shifter, it falls back to N. Yesterday after starting, I took my foot off the brake, put it back on, then pushed the button, then selected R, took my hand off and it stayed in  R. I'll have to try this again to see if that's my problem.

On a second note, the Google map only shows what I have saved in my favorites from my account and gas stations. I've tried selecting others like restaurants and saving it, but it seems not to stay after shut down. I'm looking for points of interest when traveling.

Thanks for the help.

Just bought a 2023 GMC Sierra slt with the console. This shifter is the absolute dumbest idea ever. You push the shifter forward to go into reverse and vice versa. What imbecile at GM thought this up. Very counter intuitive. I may dump this turd and get a Ford for the first time ever. I guess GM has gone woke and is in transition.

I like my shifter which is the same one as yours. I’m not sure I understand the woke part because of the shifter. Not to be argumentative , but I hate the woke ****** too

I have a 2024 with the same problem. It will not stay in reverse unless I hold it in.

I have a new 25 silverado 1500 with 1200 miles and it has a console shifter that does the same thing. You start the truck , mash the brake , push the shifter forward to engage reverse and as soon as you let go of the shifter , it pops into neutral.

I have had to push the shifter forward and hold it there to keep "reverse" engaged . It may take several attempts to get the shifter to stay in reverse . And yes , I push the button on the shifter to engage to gear selector . This is very annoying, and I would be upset if it was my personal truck not my company truck.

Hold the button in while pushing forward into reverse. It will stay in reverse then.
