NHTSA Complaint #11623439 — 2021 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER

After putting vehicle into park and shutting off the engine, the warning appears “shift to park” and will not allow the vehicle to completely shut off. For the past few months I have been able to maneuver the shifter and the car recognize it is in park, however this past weekend nothing would work and the vehicle stayed in accessory mode until the battery died. I have spoken to two local dealerships and they are aware of the problem. I am currently awaiting a local repair shop to research the issue and get back to me if they can repair it and what the cost will be. This began in September, I am unsure the exact date. Upon researching this, there are hundreds of vehicles that have had or are having this issue going back as far as 2018 at least. General Motors has been aware since then and only issued an inquiry to dealerships last November. This is clearly a defect in manufacturing that should have been recalled and remedied long before now. I am without a vehicle and out of pocket for a repair that should not have occurred.
