"my 2016 chevy malibu premier continues to show a “shift to park" message” even when i put the car in park! when this “shift to park" message” is on, i cannot turn off the vehicle. in order for the message to go off, i have to either back up, or pull the car forward a little in order to make the message goes off. this is starting to happen daily with this car. this is very frustrating."
