Filed Aug 10, 2026


When I shut off the engine, it says “Shift to park” and the car will not turn off. To get it to turn off, I have to turn the car back on (usually multiple times), until it recognizes that it IS in park.

Filed Aug 4, 2026


I was driving down the highway when the 3 bolts holding the exhaust under the car broke off. My exhaust was dragging down the highway until I could safely get pulled over. The bolts are welded in of course so you can’t just put new bolts in you have to replace the whole catalytic converter, which is a pain to do unless you take it to the dealer and pay $2000.

2021 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER

Filed Jul 31, 2026


I am submitting this report regarding my 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer because it has been experiencing the Shift to Park issue described in the GM bulletin 19-NA-206. Even when the vehicle is shifted into Park, it intermittently displays a Shift to Park message and does not recognize that the transmission is in Park. This issue has been ongoing and has not resolved despite normal use of the vehicle. It is frustrating to deal with on a regular basis, and it appears to be the same condition…
