“Shift to Park” message while in park

Recently when parking my car I receive a message on the DIC that I need to shift to park after turning the engine off however the car is in park.
I looked it up and the first thing is a GM article saying that this occurs on blazer/ traverse and Acadia models.
Has anyone else experienced this problem is it something I can prolong getting fixed and how long does the repair take.

I have a 2019 Chevy Blazer RS

This happened to my 2017 Chevy Malibu. If I remember correctly, they had to replace the shifter assembly. The work was completed the same day. Make sure when you get that message your radio and such turns off after exiting the vehicle. My radio, and lights all stayed on. Nice to know three years later, this is still an issue with Chevy vehicles. :rolleyes: I have a 2019 RS Blazer now.

Update: I took it in and they were able to fix it within 2 hours at the dealership I got it from. I guess it’s a problem with the jumper harness under the shifter assembly that they have to replace.

My dealer had the part in stock to fix this issue according to the TSB. Unfortunately I had bring the TSB to their attention and thankfully I had it printed out because the service writer said the issue did not affect the Blazers. Tried to make it to be my fault saying things like "did you spill something in that area?"

My dealer had the part in stock but since i brought the car in the evening after work I had to pick it up the next day.

This is a known issue. There is a service bulletin on this issue. Take the car to your dealer and they will fix it.

I just had this exact thing happen on my 2019 Blazer. My dealership has no openings for 2 weeks!
For those that have had this problem fixed, how much did it cost?
