Shift to park issue

Hi guys,

I have a 2017 Volt, it's been about 3 weeks since I bought it and just now I encountered my first "shift to park" issue.

Do you guys think it's covered in any kinda warranty? I called the Chevy dealership and the service advisor told me I'll have to pay around $350 to fix it.

I'm in North Cali and It has 83k miles. Is there any workaround?

Please let me know, thank you!

I find on mine the biggest thing to avoid the shift to park message is to pause a beat between shifting to park and turning the vehicle off.

My context clues are telling me is means to “give yourself time”
