What owners wrote
The very first advanced diagnostic report by 'onstar" emailed to me on 04/07/2017, was less than 30 days after the final sale of my vehicle. I called the service team for the first time on april 7, 2019 @4:13pm. (see phone records) I am unsure of the mileage however; I do confirm it was within the 30 days of me purchasing the car and I spoke with a service rep by the name of guy. At the time of sale, the car had 15 miles total.
Car will advise to "shift to park" when vehicle is already in park. Vehicle will not shut off. Shifter assembly issues and needs to be replaced. Thousands of customers have been affected according to chevrolet forums and youtube videos
