Had this problem on my 2016 about 2 years ago. I went to chevrolet telling them what the problem was after finding an online forum of hundreds of people talking about it, but they seemed to be clueless of the issue and long story short I paid over $500 for them to replace the part. Now 2 years later I just got the message again after parking my car and 10 mins later I've found your video which will save me some anger and money :D

I just got a 2020 Malibu and it started doing the shift to park problem and you made it easy to find out what to do to fix it

This is awesome! It's hard to find people who take the time to find the root-level cause of errors. I really appreciate you sharing your expertise with us!

God bless you for this video. This has been happening on my Malibu and I did the quick fixes and the medium fix but the problem continued to worsen after time. Got quoted $1300 for labor alone by Chevy dealership for a “6 hour job”. Saw this video, ordered the part for $140, and my dad and I replaced it in about an hour. Would’ve never been able to do that without this video, so thank you!!

Awesome video, no nonsense and right to the point. Valuable information thanks for sharing. You just gained another subscriber.

Thank you SO much. My beloved Chevy Malibu is at the shop right now, hopefully getting fixed. In the meantime, your workaround saved me from both a battery drain and a possible mental breakdown.

Thanks for the video. However, I cannot agree it is a good design when adding something that will fail. It has definitely changed my opinion about Chevrolet. Adding something that will definitely fail like this needs to be a crime.

This is just the surface on how automakers nickle and dime there customers. You should look under your car if it has a felt belly ban under the engine its there for a reason. Those pans can hold up to 5 quarts of oil in some cases (Ford Primarly) and have your car get out the warranty period so you have to pay to get it fixed

Thank you very much for this video! It saved me a bunch of money and sanity! I especially want to thank you for having a steady cam hand, and not long pauses!

I have to give this ONE thumb up and I am opening a bottle of Wine tonight to celebrate this good guy with such a clear, dynamic and educational video. Tomorrow I am going to fix the switch !!! Thank you so much for your time on this video. I am sure it will help bunch of Malibu owners. Cheers. ( PS my driver window says...open and close window...I guess that is similar problem ;)

I’ve had this issue occur historically, and it has reoccurred again. Fantastic video

I have a 2021 Chevy Malibu in the shop getting fix for the same problem you had it for two days not very happy thank you for the excellent video.

Thanks for creating and sharing this!!! My wife's 2017 Malibu has this exact problem but it is intermittent. Still under warranty so I think we will take this in and demand they install a new console for it. But this will be handy to know if/when the new one starts acting up.

The Volt shifter is set up exactly the same way as the Malibu and the tubing fix worked for me and was very easy to do. Thank you so much for showing me how to fix the Shift to park issue! This seems like a fix that will last. I afraid if I purchased another shifter the same problem will happen in about 20,000 miles.

I described the problem to my local Chevy dealer and they said they didn’t have an EV tech which meant I had to make an appointment with a dealer 4O miles away. Two weeks to get the appointment and it would be in the shop for at least a few days to diagnose and fix. 5 minutes on KZread and 15 minutes in the garage and $0 to fix. I haven’t had the problem again. Incredible, I’m watching your other videos just for fun.

Great Video. As you probably figured we own a 2016 Malibu with only 23k miles on it. Its been a good vehicle for my wife. This is the 2nd time we are having the shift to park problem. They fixed it under warranty once before. Just happened today again a few years later. Don't know if GM or the Chevy Dealer will honor their work. I may call but after watching your video maybe I should go for the bend it back down method here with the Micro Switch since you pointed it out so well in your video. Well enough that I became a Subscriber. I have done plenty of work on cars over many years. Didn't even know where to start before I saw your video so I just may give it a try this weekend. Still I would like a permanet fix being I keep our cars for a long time. Going to comb the Net to see if anyone makes a replacement Heavy Duty Micro Switch out there for this application. Heck there is surely a market for it.

Thank you @noNonsenseKnowHow your video was very informative and saved me a lot of money! The dealership quoted my wife “around” 500 with the parts and labor. Bought the part from the dealership for $162 in about 60 minutes later it was done! That was a good time to clean the middle of the car while it was apart. 😂

They haven't for the 2019, because it's still happening

Thanks so much for this well done video, NoNonSense. My 2016 Malibu is now working like a charm. I'll mention that my microswitch checked at 5 ohms resistance because of dirty contacts. I spent 30 years servicing electronics and found that an intermittent switch would deteriorate until the contact resistance was a few ohms and then random problems began. But ordering a new switch generally was only a short term fix. A new switch was often at one ohm or more. The solution was to put WD-40 on the switch and actuate it 20 or 30 times till the resistance dropped to 0.1 ohms or less. That's a lifetime fix. Loved your video and it's likely saved people tens of thousands of dollars. Two thumbs up!

No need to replace the entire shifter any longer.
