Some Chevrolet Traverse owners report experiencing difficulties with shifting into Park, accompanied by a persistent warning light. This "Shift to Park" message serves as a safety feature to prevent accidental vehicle movement, but if it remains illuminated after restarting the vehicle, it is essential to seek assistance from a Chevrolet dealership or qualified mechanic. Common causes for this issue include faulty harness connectors on the shifter that may need repair or replacement. Additionally, some GM models, including the Chevrolet Traverse, have faced similar issues, prompting recalls for certain vehicles. GM has also issued a fix for the intermittent "Shift to Park" message problem affecting several models, including the Traverse. It is advisable for owners facing these challenges to have their vehicles inspected by a professional to diagnose and resolve the underlying issues.
