Some Buick Encore GX owners report experiencing the "Shift to Park" error message after turning off the engine, which often resolves itself after multiple restarts. This issue is commonly attributed to spread contacts on the park shift sensor within the shifter assembly, as well as potential faults in the shifter sensor or shifting module. Additionally, while low battery voltage can trigger this warning, it may not be the primary cause if the vehicle's electronics remain active. Owners encountering this issue are advised to check the park shift sensor for malfunctions, ensure secure battery connections, and consult a service center for professional diagnosis if the problem persists.
