In owners' own words

I got into my vehicle and it said âsteering assist reduced. Drive with careâ. the A/C stops working and refuses to cool as well as the cooled seats. The thermostat for the coolant reads âCâ despite driving it 40+ miles in 83 degree weather. Tried disconnecting battery upon research and finding out many other people are having the same problem. The light turned off and came right back on the following morning Electrical system

After the vehicle has been put into parked and attempted to shut off, a message displays âAction Required Shift To Parkâ. Although the vehicle is in parked there is some kind of sensor that is not reading it is in park. Vehicle first started doing this when parked on an incline but frequently happens since the first occurrence. One temporary solution is to shift into different gear or shake the gear shift.
