    GM and dealership refusing to cover "fail shift to park" issue fix under Voltec warranty, trying to fight it we should do it together
    using information:
    1
    For example, GM stated on page 8 In Service Bulletin TSB 19-NA-206(Subject: Intermittent Shift to Park Message Displayed While Vehicle in Park)stated on page 8:Warranty Information Note: Specific to the Volt model, repairs are covered under the Voltec (Electric and Hybrid Vehicle) Warranty
    2.
    I found information that entire shifter to be replaced--also under warranty(Voltec warranty for the known "shift to park" issue). See below underscored:TrueDelta | Chevrolet Volt transmission Problems
    oltec warranty for the known "shift to park" issue. This is the first repair, and the wiring squib was replaced. The second one that was done a year later required the entire shifter to be replaced--also under warranty.

    did open case in GM support
    GM responded: that harness and switch replacement for my car 2017 Chevrolet Volt covered by GM Voltec (Electric and Hybrid Vehicle) Warranty, But dealership replaced entire shifter and that not covered.
    I have 2017 Volt and active Voltex warranty.
    What should I do?

    Speculation, this sounds like a safety issue. Perhaps contact the NHTSA or a lawyer?

    did the dealership fix the problem?

    i would contact the massachusetts department of public affairs. it sounds like what they did was unnecessary, and charged you for a part that did not need to be replaced.
    what was the repair cost?
