I was told at the dealership that it had to do with the acceleration pedal position sensor. The car is less than…

Engine power reduced. Engine power reduced. At first it seemed to happen when it was raining, but on dry days no problems. The engine light comes on, and disappears a few hours later.

Error codes p2138 and p2127, both referencing…

A 'shift to park' displays when i am already on park when i try to turn off the car. So i am unable to turn off the car properly due to this. I took the car for a diagnostics at my local chevy dealer and the advisor told me that it's a manufacturer defect with the shift control.

When shifting into park, the shifter does not fully engage resulting in the inability to park the car or turn it off. The message on the dash says "shift into park" even though the shifter is actually in park. This happens everytime the driver tries to park the vehicle.
