Your check engine light came on while driving, and the dealer found a faulty high-voltage disconnect relay in your battery system. The dealer couldn't repair it because the part was unavailable and on backorder from Chevrolet. The issue occurred at 80,000 miles.

Your car displays a "Shift to Park" warning message with audio alerts even when the vehicle is already in Park, making it difficult to reliably park and turn off the car. This electrical issue is covered under GM's Voltec Component Warranty according to Technical Bulletin 19-NA-206, but GM has refused to honor the warranty claim. Resolving this will likely require GM service to diagnose the park position sensor or transmission control module and apply the warranty repair covered under the technical bulletin.

1. Intermittent instruction to put vehicle in PARK when trying to start or shut down when in PARK already. 2. Intermittent NO REMOTE DETECTED when remote is in the car
Was approaching an intersection with a stoplight that was red. Another car stopped at light. Applied brakes, but car slowed down only slightly, no matter how hard the brake pedal was applied. It was like braking on black ice, even though the cars wheels were still going around. Rear ended the car at the light. Suspect that computer was telling the car to try to charge the battery using the forward motion of the car instead of stopping the car. All air bags deployed. Injuries were limited to bruises, abrasions, and general body soreness. Vehicle currently in possession of Allstate Ins. Have requested that brake system be inspected, and computer info be downloaded. Car was totaled. No injuries in other vehicle. No previous problems, no warning lamps or messages prior to accident. Car had been well maintained, including all recalls, and received routine maintenance (oil change, tire rotation) about three months before the incident. Problem has not been reproduced, nor is it likely to be since the vehicle is undrivable.
Car does not shift into park without multiple tries. I can’t turn off car if it’s not on park
2019 Volt - Shift to Park issue My 2019 Chevy Volt is having an issue when shifted to Park from Drive and all shift stick positions. If you shift to park to turn off engine you get a message on console that says "SHIFT TO PARK). You have repeatedly turn off/on engine/system to message to clear so you can leave vehicle off. System will not shut off until car reads that car is park. Something (sensor?) is not telling system that car is in Park.
'SHIFT TO PARK' ISSUE. AFTER POWERING OFF CAR I GET AN ALERT ON DASHBOARD THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS 'SEE IMAGE'. THIS HAPPENS EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS SET TO PARK. VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OFF UNTIL JIGGLING THE SHIFT HANDLE OR TURNING ON CAR AND RE SETTING SHIFT HANDLE TO PARK. RECURRING ISSUE.
