Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Blazer owners report experiencing transmission issues, limiting their vehicle's operation to only drive and park modes. These problems may stem from faulty components within the transmission system or other vehicle systems. A thorough inspection of the transmission, including gears and shift cables, is crucial to identify the root cause. Additionally, some owners have reported seeing a "shift to park" message even when the vehicle is in park, indicating a possible malfunction in the park switch within the transmission control assembly. In cases of malfunctioning transmission, it is recommended to consult a certified mechanic or dealership for effective diagnosis and repair. However, due to the unavailability of necessary parts until spring 2024, owners are advised to stay updated with Chevrolet regarding the repair component's availability. Prompt attention to these transmission issues is essential for the safe and efficient operation of the Chevrolet Blazer.
