What owners wrote
On june 20, 2019, I bought a 2019 chevy traverse with the understanding that the vehicle was in good condition with no defects. On july the 18 we took vehicle to the service department, due to there was a very strong odor when inside the car. It was causing bloody noses and breathing issues for my family. The smell was so strong that it could be tasted. The dealership took about 15 to 20 minutes to diagnose car as nothing wrong with it. We took it home.
When turning off the traverse, a "shift to park" message is being displayed despite the vehicle being in park which does not allow the internal electronics (such as the radio) to turn off when exiting the vehicle. Sometimes shifting out of and back into park or hitting the buttons on the shifter fix the problem. Research shows there are at least 2 GM service bulletins which cover a number of their different vehicles.
