NHTSA Complaint #11579602 — 2019 CHEVROLET BLAZER

While using my vehicle, twice in one day, my vehicle failed to recognize that it was in park. My 2019 Chevrolet Blazer essentially malfunctioned, and was unable to recognize that it was in park, which left me unable to leave the car to go into my office building. The car was in fact in park, but did not recognize this fact. I tried exiting the vehicle and closing the door, but the car still would not turn off. I was left to essentially babysit my car, while attempting to work the gear shifter back and forth between drive, reverse, and park, until it eventually finally accepted that it was set to park, and allowed me to fully power the car down. If I am unable to have the car recognize that it is in park, I am unable to leave it, as it can be started and driven without the FOB due to the potential safety hazard of the vehicle thinking it is not properly shifted into park. The battery will also be drained, effectively leaving me with an inoperable vehicle. In the image I attached, please view the bottom right corner of the dashboard which indicates "P" for park, while the vehicle still states that I am not shifted into park. I have a video of this incident, and it appears many consumers with select models of Chevrolet and GMC cars also have this issue. I find it appalling that many have already discovered this issue, yet no recall has been placed to fix this widely known issue (even by GM according to their bulleting regarding this).
