In owners' own words

Error code P0128. Engine temp sensor keeps going off and on. Temp gauge drops to 0 and doesnât read, AC goes out, check engine light comes on, steering assist is reduced drive with care notification comes up. This error code and same issue is all over GM forums. Thousands are experiencing this same issue, having to spend over $1000 to get it fixed. Ridiculous this isnât a recall yet. Power train

There is a current recall in place #19-NA-206 that I believe should include my vehicles vin number. There is an intermittent shift to park message that appears when the vehicle had been shifted into park and the ignition has been turned to off position. Making it unsafe as I am not sure if the vehicle is actually in park or not. Power train

8 out of 10 times I put the vehicle in park I receive a "shift to park" alert. I have to put it in another gear several times before it recognizes it is parked. Sometimes flicking the shifter push-in piece on the bottom will work. I am unsure if the car is officially parked when I don't get this message. Power train

Verbatim from NHTSA filings. Complaints are unverified owner reports.
