Consumer Description
I had purchased a brand new 2022 chevy equinox from a local dealer in July 2022. Since then, my car had to be towed twice for the infamous shift to park issue. Both times, I was left without a car for over a week. When the shift to park issue happens, the car cannot be turned off.

I was told since they could not replicate the issue, they could not do anything about it. This is a big problem for a few reasons: 1.) This shift to park issue is very well known for GM models. There were even multiple service bulletins instructing GM dealerships on how to fix the issue. I brought this up with the service team and the representative noted that this fix was probably what the car needed, but could not be done because the problem was not replicated in the dealership. 2.) The shift to park issue cannot be manually replicated. The service team is aware of this, but kept using this excuse. The two service representatives saw the issue themselves when the car was towed to their location. 3.) The service team said they could not run any diagnostics on the check engine light because the battery was d
