My 2017 is doing the exact same thing. Mostly the "Shift to Park". I took it to the dealership once and they updated the software but that didn't fix it. I tried resetting by disconnecting the 12 volt battery, but that didn't fix it either. It seems to me that it helps to forcefully put it into park, but that might be my imagination. I hesitate to take it back to the dealership because they'll probably not be able to replicate the problem and therefore not fix it.
Intermittent "Shift To Park" when shutting off
As I approach my 2-year purchase anniversary, I guess my car decided to celebrate by presenting another annoyance.
Yesterday I parked at my neighbors' house and shut the car off. It dinged and said "Shift To Park" so I restarted it, observed that the shift indicator was indeed showing "P" (on both the shifter and dashboard), and shut it off again. It was fine for several starts/shutdowns after that.
Then today, I pulled in my garage and it happened again. Right as I was about to restart it, it also said "remote not detected, press brake to restart". So I did. Once again, I observed that "P" was shown in both places, shut it down again, and it was fine. I got out of the car and used the outside button on the door handle to lock/unlock the car, so I know the remote proximity is working fine.
I'm not sure if I really need to be worried, as it could have just been that I didn't wait long enough between shifting to park and shutting down, but this is the first I've ever had this happen and I haven't really changed anything about how I drive it.
