Consumer Description

Vehicle transmission does not recognize what gear it is in, a potential danger. Warning light appears randomly "shift to park" and vehicle will not shut down. Vehicle does not recognize that it is in park. Requires multiple attempts to manually shift gears. Multiple complaints for this issue found online. Contacted GM Customer Assistance and they are unresponsive to this problem. GM would not reimburse me for the repair and would not recognize this as a manufacturing problem (supposed to send $100 coupon to dealer, good for 1 year?) see 2 attachements
