Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Blazer owners report experiencing issues with the "Shift to Park" warning, which is designed to prevent unintentional vehicle rollaways. This warning can be triggered even when the vehicle is in Park, leading to confusion for drivers. Additionally, low transmission fluid levels may cause the system to malfunction, resulting in the warning message being displayed. Some owners have noted that the warning chime persists even when the vehicle is correctly in Park, requiring them to jiggle the shifter handle to silence it. Fixing the "Shift to Park" message may necessitate replacing components such as the Park switch and its harness. There are also reports of defects in the gear shifter mechanism that could prevent proper alerts to shift into Park, increasing the risk of the vehicle rolling away if not secured. Furthermore, lawsuits have been filed against Chevy and GMC concerning this issue, with some consumers facing challenges in turning off and locking their vehicles after shifting into Park. Addressing these concerns is crucial for ensuring the safety and functionality of the Chevrolet Blazer.
