I started my 2018 Malibu and noticed something weird. The gear indicator on the dash was blank, and the letters by the shifter were all white instead of lighting up properly. I thought it was just a glitch, so I put it in drive, but it seemed to shift a lot more than normal. When I tried to turn it off, it kept saying ‘Shift to Park’ and wouldn’t fully turn off. After a few tries, it seemed to fix itself. Then, cruise control wouldn’t activate, but after turning the car off and on again, it worked fine. Any ideas on why this happened?
Sounds like a classic case of a computer glitch. Sometimes, these systems just need a reset to clear errors.
I’ve had similar issues with my car before. It could be a loose connection or a minor software bug. Glad it’s working now!
Definitely check for any software updates at the dealership. They might have fixes for known issues like that.
Glad to hear it’s working again! If it happens frequently, consider getting it checked out just to be safe.
