Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Malibu owners report experiencing a 'Shift to Park' warning, often attributed to a malfunction in the park switch within the shifter assembly. This issue is commonly resolved by replacing the micro switch, as recommended by GM, which may involve replacing the switch component along with the harness or the entire shifter assembly. Some owners have found the necessary switch listed as “Chevrolet Malibu Park P Gear REPAIR” on eBay, where two Omron micro switches can be purchased for $12.00. It is crucial for owners to ensure that the replacement switch is installed correctly to effectively resolve the warning.
