2017 GMC Acadia complaints

UPON STOPPING VEHICLE AND SHIFTING IN TO PARK I GET A 'SHIFT TO PARK' NOTIFICATION ON THE DRIVERS' INFORMATION SCREEN ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK. SOMETIMES IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OF SHIFTING FROM AND BACK TO PARK FOR THE SCREEN TO CLEAR.

PARK TO SHIFT ISSUE WHERE CAR WILL NOT GO INTO PARK AND YOU CANNOT TURN OFF ENGINE TO LEAVE VEHICLE WITHOUT LEAVING CAR ON OR UNLOCKED. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHEN TRYING TO PARK AND SECURE VEHICLE. HAS HAPPENED IN GARAGE WHERE IT HAS TAKEN OVER 20 ATTEMPTS TO TURN ON AND OFF CAR OVER AND OVER FILLING GARAGE WITH FUMES TRYING TO GET CAR TURNED OFF IN SHIFT AND THEN ABLE TO TURN OFF CAR AND LOCK.

PREMATURE TREAD WEAR ON ALL 4 TIRES. CAR HAS 34400 MILES ON IT. TOOK CAR IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND ASKED SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO LOOK AT TIRES. I WAS TOLD THIS IS A PROBLEM SEEN A LOT WITH 2017 ACADIAS. SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT MICHELIN WOULD PAY TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES BUT WOULD SPLIT THE COST WITH ME, MEANING I HAVE TO PAY 500-600 DOLLARS FOR NEW TIRES WHEN GMC AND MICHELIN KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE. THESE ARE 60000 MILE TIRES AND SHOULD NOT BE WORN THIS BADLY AT 34400 MILES. I LEASE THIS CAR AND HAVE A YEAR LEFT. I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE TIRES. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT MICHELIN'S OFFER TO SPLIT COST IS ONLY GOOD UNTIL 36000 MILES WHICH DOESN'T GIVE ME MUCH TIME TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO OR PURSUE A MORE SATISFACTORY RESOLUTION. IF I DON'T REPLACE THE TIRES IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO, I WILL HAVE TO PAY FULL COST TO REPLACE THEM LATER. IF I TURN THE CAR IN EARLY, I HAVE 13 PAYMENTS LEFT TO ROLL INTO A NEW LEASE WHICH INCREASES MY MONTHLY PAYMENT SIGNIFICANTLY. MICHELIN AND/OR GM NEED TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND PUT ALL NEW TIRES ON AT NO COST TO ME.

I GET A 'SHIFT TO PARK' NOTIFICATION WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TRY TO TURN IT OFF. I'M CONFIDENT MY CAR IS IN PARK AS IT DOESN'T MOVE WHEN I RELEASE THE BRAKE, I HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR, PUT IT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE, THEN SHIFT INTO PARK AGAIN. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO DO THIS 5 TIMES BEFORE I'M ABLE TO TURN OFF MY CAR.

I HAVE A 2017 GMC ACADIA SL-2 ALL TERRAIN WITH 16,000 MILES THAT WAS IN FOR SERVICE A MONTH AGO FOR THE 'SHIFT TO PARK' PROBLEM FOR 2 WEEKS. GM WOULD NOT REPLACE THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY INSTEAD A HARNESS WAS INSTALLED. ONE WEEK LATER IT WAS BACK IN FOR SERVICE AND HAS BEEN IN THERE FOR LAST 10 DAYS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I DO HAVE A LOANER WHICH I APPRECIATE BUT I WANT MY CAR REPAIRED. I AM TOLD THE GM STRIKE IS AFFECTING THE DELAY IN GETTING PARTS TO THE DEALER. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND ASCERTAINED THAT THERE ARE 2 DIFFERENT SHIFT ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENTS. THE FIRST FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM WAS PART NO. 84159722. THE SECOND REPLACEMENT NUMBER IS 13528228 WHICH REPLACES THE 84159722. MY CAR NEEDS PART NO. 13528228 SO WE HAVE NO FURTHER ISSUE WITH THE SHIFT TO PARK PROBLEM. (IF IN FACT THIS IS A 'FIX.')

BEGINNING IN MID-OCTOBER 2019, WHEN I ATTEMPT TO TURN OFF MY ACADIA, I GET A MESSAGE THAT SAYS, "ACTION REQUIRED. SHIFT TO PARK". IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO TURN MY CAR OFF OR EXIT THE VEHICLE AND LOCK IT. IN ORDER TO CIRCUMNAVIGATE THE ERROR, I MUST TURN MY CAR BACK ON, SHIFT TO DRIVE, SHIFT TO PARK AND TURN MY CAR BACK OFF. AT THE MINIMUM, I MUST COMPLETE THESE STEPS THREE TIMES TO GET MY CAR TO A SPOT WHERE IT WILL ALLOW IT TO TURN OFF. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN I AM IN PARK, ATTEMPTING TO EXIT MY VEHICLE.

WHEN THE CAR IS INTENTIONALLY STOPPED AND SHIFTED INTO PARK, THE DASHBOARD SHOWS A WARNING THAT THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK. IT REQUIRES MOVING THE GEAR SHIFT IN AND OUT OF DRIVE UNTIL THE ELECTRONICS RECOGNIZE THE CAR IS IN PARK. UNTIL THEN, ALL THE CAR ELECTRONICS REMAIN ACTIVE. WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED AN ALARM SOUNDS BECAUSE THE ELECTRONICS THINKS THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK. THE GMC DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT CLAIMS THE PARTS NEEDED TO FIX IT ARE UNAVAILABLE. THIS FIRST HAPPENED OVER A YEAR AGO, BUT THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM. IT HAS STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN, AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM, BUT CLAIMS THE PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE.

2017 GMC ACADIA HAS 'SHIFT TO PARK' ERROR FOR THE LAST 6 MTHS. WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE CAR IS IN PARK AND WILL NOT TURN CAR OFF COMPLETELY. IT HAS CAUSED OTHER ISSUES WITH THE CAR LIKE BATTERY/CAR HESITATING TO START IN THE MORNING. ALSO THE RADIO/BLUETOOTH NOT DISCONNECTING AFTER TURNING CAR OFF. YOU HAVE. THIS IS A LONG PROCESS TO GET THE CAR TO REALIZE IT IS IN PARK. AFTER TURNING CAR ON AND OFF, SHIFTING CAR OUT OF PARK AND BACK INTO PARK. AND ALSO WIGGLING THE SHIFT GEAR. THIS AFTER KNOWING IT IS AN ON HOING ISSUE FOR WELL OVER A YEAR IS STILL NOT A RECALL AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT MADE A FIX FOR THIS.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2017 GMC ACADIA ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY SON IN THE VEHICLE WHEN IT SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES FOR NO REASON. WHEN I FIRST TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY DID NOT BELIEVE ME. THEY RESEARCHED THE ISSUE THEN INFORMED ME THAT GM WAS AWARE OF THE "PHANTOM BRAKING" PROBLEM AND ISSUED A BULLETIN TO THE DEALERS. THEY SAID THE WAY TO FIX IT WAS TO REBOOT THE COMPUTER. THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME A COPY OF THE BULLETIN THAT SHOWED THE ISSUE OR THE FIX. GM KNEW THIS WAS HAPPENING IN THEIR VEHICLES AND THEY DID NOT TELL THE CAR OWNERS. IT IS A MIRACLE THAT IT DID NOT CAUSE AND ACCIDENT AND THAT NO ONE WAS HURT OR KILLED. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR BUT THEY WILL NOT LET ME OUT OF MY LEASE EARLY.

THE "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE COMES ON AFTER I PARK THE CAR. I HAVE TO WIGGLE THE GEAR SHIFT BACK AND FORTH TO GET IT TO GO OFF OR THE CAR STAYS ON ELECTRONICALLY. THE DOOR LOCKS GO ON/OFF (AND UP AND DOWN) WHILE DRIVING (PURPORTEDLY DUE TO THE CAR GOING IN AND OUT OF PARK WHILE DRIVING) WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY (47,000 MILES) MY DEALERSHIP SAID IT WOULD BE $700-$800 TO FIX THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH GMC HAS PUT OUT A BULLETIN TO TELL THE DEALERSHIPS HOW TO FIX IT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. IF THE CAR ISN'T READING IT'S IN PARK, IT COULD ROLL AND CAUSE INJURY AND DAMAGE. THIS HAS HAPPENED PRETTY REGULARLY FOR 2 WEEKS GOING ON 3 WEEKS.

TL* THE CONTACT'S FATHER OWNS A 2017 GMC ACADIA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S FATHER WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BENT INWARDLY INTO THE WHEEL WELL. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A CURB. THE VEHICLE RECEIVED BODY DAMAGE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVESHAFT FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. SUMMIT CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (LOCATED AT 318 GRANT AVE, AUBURN, NY 13021, 315-258-2000) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V516000 (POWER TRAIN), BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

SHIFT TO PARK ERROR WHEN CAR IS CORRECTLY IN PARK. THIS DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO SHUT OFF YOUR ENGINE. I HAVE HAD THE SHIFTER REPLACE TWICE ALREADY AT THE DEALERSHIP. I KNOW IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

MY 2017 GMC ACADIA HAS A "SHIFTER" PROBLEM. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK BUT I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT STATES "SHIFT TO PARK" AND THE CAR DOESN'T COMPLETELY TURN OFF EVEN THOUGH YOU TURN THE CAR OFF PHYSICALLY. SOME ELECTRONICS STAY ON LIKE THE RADIO AND HEADLIGHTS. YOU CANNOT COMPLETELY SHUT THE CAR DOWN - AGAIN - EVEN WHEN YOU PHYSICALLY TURN THE CAR OFF. THE CAR IS IN PARK AND STOPPED.

I HAVE A 2017 ACADIA. WHEN THE CAR IS SHIFTED INTO PARK, THE DASHBOARD SHOWS A WARNING THAT SAYS "SHIFT TO PARK" EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS ALREADY IN PARK. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES AND SLAM THE SHIFTER INTO PARK UNTIL THE CAR FINALLY REGISTERS THAT IT'S IN PARK.. IF I LEAVE THE CAR LIKE THAT, ALL THE ELECTRICAL STUFF STAYS ON AND MY BATTERY WILL DIE. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK AND SEEMS TO BE IN GEAR OR AT LEAST IN NEUTRAL BECAUSE IT WILL ROLL. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND HAPPENS ON A DAILY OCCURRENCE.

THE BREAK LIGHTS WOULD STAY ON AFTER PARKING THE CAR RESULTING IN A DEAD BATTERY IN ONE OCCASION. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED BREAK PARTS TWO TIMES AND EVEN KEPT THE CAR FOR ONE WEEK FOR SAFETY REASONS. THE PROBLEM IS BACK AND SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE ON 10/14/19.

VEHICLE WARNING LIGHT SAYS "SHIFT TO PARK" WHEN CAR IS STOPPED AND SHIFTER IS PUT INTO PARK. VEHICLE WILL NOT SHUT DOWN PROPERLY.

WHEN I TURN MY CAR OFF, I AM GETTING A 'SHIFT TO PARK' ERROR CODE EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS IN PARK. IF YOU IGNORE IT, THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT IS STILL ON, LIGHTS AND RADIO WON'T TURN OFF. WHEN I GOT MY SON OUT OF HIS CAR SEAT THE CAR STARTED MOVING A LITTLE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS OFF AND IN PARK. YOU HAVE TO TURN THE CAR ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES AND SHIFT THE CAR AROUND TO DIFFERENT SETTINGS UNTIL IT JUST DECIDES IT'S FINALLY IN PARK. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND WHAT HAPPENS IF ONE DAY IT JUST DECIDES IT WON'T GO INTO PARK NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU TRY AND APPARENTLY THROUGH RESEARCH THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON ISSUE YET A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED.

VEHICLE DISPLAYS SHIFT TO PARK MESSAGE WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK. IT DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO TURN THE CAR OFF.

I CANNOT ALWAYS SHUT OFF THE MOTOR IT TELLS ME I DO NOT HAVE IT IN PARK CAR WAS STATIONARY

VEHICLE STATES, 'SHIFT TO PARK,' WHEN TRYING TO TURN OFF ENGINE WHEN IT IS ALREADY IN PARK. TURN VEHICLE BACK ON AND HAVE TO SHIFT MULTIPLE TIMES OUT AND THEN BACK INTO PARK BEFORE CAR WILL RECOGNIZE IT IS IN FACT IN PARK TO SHUT DOWN ENTIRE ENGINE. HAVE REPLACED BATTERY ONCE ALREADY. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND FOOT IS ON BREAK WHEN TRYING TO TURN CAR OFF. HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE PURCHASE BUT, JUST GOT FED UP WITH IT.

WHEN CAR IS PLACED IN PARK, THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY SAYS THAT THE CAR MUST BE SHIFTED TO PARK, ALTHOUGH IT IS HAS BEEN PUT IN PARK. THE CAR MUST BE RESTARTED, AND RESHIFTED TO PARK, MULTIPLE TIMES. (AS MANY AS A DOZEN TIMES.) WHEN THE ERROR MESSAGE APPEARS THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS DO NOT SHUT DOWN. THE CAR CANNOT BE LOCKED. UNSURE WHETHER CAR IS/ IS NOT ACTUALLY IN PARK, OR WHETHER THERE IS A DANGER OF CAR ROLLING AWAY.

AT TIMES WHEN SHIFTING CAR FROM DRIVE TO PARK THE CAR WILL NOT SEAT INTO PARK AND PROVIDES A MESSAGE SHIFT TO PARK. CAR IS IN A STATIONARY POSITION BUT AT TIMES WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO TURN OFF POWER TO CAR BECAUSE OF THE SHIFT TO PARK ISSUE.

I AM GETTING A MESSAGE SHIFT TO PARK! ON 2017 GMC ACADIA AFTER PUTTING MY VEHICLE IN PARK UNABLE TO LOCK CAR AND LIGHTS AND RADIO REMAIN ON. IT TOOK ME MORE THAN AN HOUR TO GET MY VEHICLE TO STOP DISPLAYING MESSAGE. I AM VERY CONCERNED AND APPALLED AT THE SAME TIME UPON INVESTIGATING I HAVE DISCOVERED GMC IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT. I REALLY WISHED IT WOULD HAVE BEEN REVEALED AND I COULD HAVE CHOSEN ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT IS VERY BAD BUSINESS PRACTICES MY VEHICLE IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD AND I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS.

AFTER 2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP OF A NEW GMC ACADIA MY SUV WOULD NOT SHUT OFF ONCE I PARKED MY CAR. IT WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DETECT THAT I SHIFTED INTO PARK AFTER ARRIVING AT MY DESTINATION. ALL THE ELECTRONICS WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN. I WOULD HAVE HAVE TO STAY IN THE CAR AND PLAY WITH THE SHIFTER UNTIL THE COMPUTER FINALLY READ THAT IT WAS IN PARK. AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THE SUV WAS FIXED WITH AN NEW PART THAT SEEMS TO HAVE RESOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR NOW BUT AS FAR AS I AM AWARE GMC IS STILL DOESN'T KNOW WHY THE PROBLEM IS BEING CAUSED SO I AM WAITING TO SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. AFTER GETTING IT FIXED NOW MY VEHICLE GIVES ME ANOTHER WARNING EVERY TIME MY "AUTO ENGINE OFF" IS ACTIVATED AT WHEN I COME TO A STOP. NOW I CONTINUOUSLY GET "STEBILITITRC" WARNING EVERY TIME I STOP. THEY FIXED ONE PROBLEM AND NOW I HAVE ANOTHER. IT IS MY FAMILY CAR SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IT IS SAFE BUT GMC DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW WHATS WRONG OR HOW TO FIX IT EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF MANY ACADIAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

"SHIFT TO PARK" ISSUE AS DESCRIBED BY OTHERS. GM DEALER SAYS IT NEEDS TO REPLACE A $20.00 HARNESS + LABOR OF OVER $200.00. "SERVICE PARKING BRAKE" ISSUE THAT RANDOMLY PRESENTED ITSELF ONE DAY. I WAS UNABLE TO USE THE PARKING BRAKE. GM DEALER HAD TO "UPGRADE" MY EBCM FOR A WHOPPING $200.00. HOW DOES GM THINK THE CONSUMER SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS. THEY HAVE A MONOPOLY BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN FIX THIS!

WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO PARK, AN ERROR IS DISPLAYED STATING TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK, EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFTER IS IN P. IN ORDER TO GET THIS MESSAGE TO GO AWAY, I HAVE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER UP AND DOWN MULTIPLE TIMES. COULD TAKE UP TO 20 MIN TO GET THE ERROR TO GO AWAY. I CAN NOT LEAVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE ERROR IS OFF BECAUSE THE LIGHTS STAY ON AND WILL DRAIN THE BATTERY. I ALSO NOTICE THAT THE VEHICLE ROLLS A LITTLE MORE AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO GET ERROR MESSAGE OFF. THIS IS CONCERNING THAT IT MAY NOT REALIZE ITS IN PARK AND ROLL INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH OR ROLL AWAY. I TOOK TO MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A 'KNOWN' ISSUE AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, NOR IS THERE A RECALL. I JUST PAID OUT OF POCKET FOR NEW TIRES BECAUSE GM KNEW THE TIRES PLACED WERE 'WEARING' TOO SOON BASED ON MILEAGE. NOW, I AM BEING TOLD I WILL HAVE TO PAY ABOUT $600 TO GET THIS FIXED. GM KNOWS OF ISSUES AND NOT FIXING THEM IS WRONG. THIS IS NOT A NEW ISSUE, HAS BEEN LISTED AS COMPLAINTS FOR THE PAST YEAR, YET GM HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX AND CONTINUE TO MAKE THE VEHICLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES. FRUSTRATING THAT I HAVE TO SPEND THE MONEY TO FIX AN ISSUE THEY KNOW ABOUT! THIS NEEDS PUSHED BACK TO GM TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE AND MAKE THIS RIGHT. THE SHIFTER ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND FIXED.

VEHICLE SAYS SHIFT TO PARK AND WON'T TURN OFF, EVEN THOUGH IT IS ALREADY IN PARK.

2017 ACADIA IS DISPLAYING 'SHIFT TO PARK' MESSAGE WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON AND SHIFT TO OTHER GEARS AND BACK TO PARK UPWARDS OF 5/10 TIMES PRETTY MUCH EVERY TIME I TRY TO TURN THE CAR OFF.

MICHELIN PREMIER LTX M/S 235/55R20 DRY ROT OR CRACKING BETWEEN TREADS ALL 4 TIRES 30,000 MILES DOESN'T SEAM RIGHT.

WHEN SHIFTING THE VEHICLE TO PARK AND THEN SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE, I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE 'ACTION REQUIRED- SHIFT TO PARK'. THE VEHICLE IS ALREADY IN PARK! I'VE HAD TO JIGGLE THE SHIFTER, PRESS THE BRAKE WHILE JIGGLING THE SHIFTER, RESTART THE VEHICLE PUT IN REVERSE, THEN BACK IN PARK, AND JIGGLE SOME MORE. THE RADIO AND LIGHTS (BOTH INTERIOR & EXTERIOR) WILL NOT POWER OFF AND THE DOOR CHIMES NONSTOP. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND IT HAS BEEN A LITTLE OVER A MONTH SINCE THE LAST INCIDENT WHICH OCCURRED TWO DAYS AFTER I HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY BECAUSE I MISSED THE ERROR MESSAGE HEADING IN TO WORK. THE LAST 2 DAYS MY HUSBAND HAS DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY BECAUSE NOTHING WILL WORK TO POWER OFF RADIO & LIGHTS. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY TWICE NOW IN A NEW VEHICLE LEASED IN 2016. THE FIRST TIME WAS DUE TO BRAKE RECALL, MY VEHICLE BEING THE ONLY 2017 GMC ACADIA DENALI EFFECTED BY THAT RECALL. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD REMAIN ON BECAUSE THE BRAKE WAS BASICALLY STICKING, DRAINING THE BATTERY. THAT ISSUE ALSO DISABLED THE CRUISE CONTROL AS THAT FEATURE IS UNAVAILABLE WHEN BREAKING! THIS VEHICLE ALSO HAD REPAIR TO WIRING IN DRIVER SIDE DOOR DUE TO WATER GETTING INTO THE DOOR FRAME FROM OUTSIDE AND CORRODING WIRES CAUSING DETECTION ISSUES WITH THE KEY FOB. I COULD NOT UNLOCK MY DOORS WITHOUT REMOVING THE KEY TO MANUALLY UNLOCK. WHILE IN THE CAR WASH, THE VEHICLE LOST CONNECTION WITH MY KEY AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT MOVED ALL THE WAY BACK AS IT WOULD FOR EASY EXIT WHICH I HAD DISABLED. MESS

UPON TURNING MY IGNITION OFF, THE "SHIFT TO PARK" WARNING MESSAGE APPEARS, EVEN THOUGH THE DISPLAY SHOWS THAT I AM IN "P" AND THE BRAKE IS ON. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP,I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND POINTED TO THE MESSAGE ON MY DISPLAY. BEFORE THE TECHNICIAN EVEN LOOKED INTO MY CAR, HE ASKED "SHIFT TO PARK"? SO OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS GMC REPAIR CENTER. MY FRUSTRATION IS THAT IF IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT, WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED?

UPON SHIFTING THE CAR TO PARK AND SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE, THE CONSOLE SAYS, "SHIFT TO PARK". THE CAR APPEARS TO ROLL SOME. I HAVE NOT BEEN ON AN INCLINE TO SEE IF IT IS TRULY IN PARK OR NOT. IT WILL NOT ALLOW THE ELECTRONICS TO SHUT OFF AND WILL NOT LET YOU LOCK THE CAR SO THE CAR CANNOT BE LEFT WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY AND TODAY I HAD TO SHUT OFF AND START THE CAR AND DRIVE IT 10-15 TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD RECOGNIZE IT WAS ACTUALLY IN PARK.

"SHIFT TO PARK" ERROR WHEN CAR IS ALREADY IN PARK. ISSUE STARTED ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO; HOWEVER, IT IS BECOMING WORSE AND MORE FREQUENT. MOST OF THE TIME, PRESSING THE SHIFTER BUTTON IN/OUT WILL TURN THE CAR OFF BUT NOT IT CAN TAKE UP TO 5 MINUTES OF TURNING THE CAR ON/OFF AND SHIFTING GEARS TO GET THE CAR TO RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS IN PARK. (THE DASHBOARD DOES RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS IN PARK WITH THE "P" BESIDE THE MILEAGE BUT THE SENSOR DOES NOT.) IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE CAR CAN NOT BE TURNED OFF AND LOCKED. DESPITE ONLY HAVING THE CAR FOR A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS, THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE COSTS NEEDS TO BE COVERED OUT OF POCKET SINCE IT WAS A LOANER.

UPON TURNING VEHICLE OFF, "SHIFT TO PARK!" ILLUMINATES ON THE CLUSTER. VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OFF UNTIL IT IS RE-STARTED, SHIFTED IN AND OUT OF GEAR. SOMETIMES THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE MULTIPLE TIMES. THERE HAS BEEN ONE INSTANCE THE ERROR WOULD NOT CLEAR, AND I WAS FORCED TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE ON, AS I WENT INTO A DOCTOR APPOINTMENT. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING, NOT TO MENTION THE WASTED FUEL WITH STARTING/STOPPING THE VEHICLE 5-10 TIMES EACH TIME I TURN IT OFF. I'VE TAKEN VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IT IS TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD HERE. RIDICULOUS.

WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL A SQUISHING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE SOUND WAS PRESENT WHILE MOVING AND WHILE STOPPED. MASTER CYLINDER WAS LEAKING BRAKE FLUID INTO BRAKE POWER BOOSTER

SHIFTER KEEPS LOCKING. HAPPENED 4 TIMES WHERE SHIFTER HAD GOTTEN STUCK IN SHIFT AND UNABLE TO CONTROL CAR. GEAR ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES AND NOTHING IS WORKING.

I REPORTED A PROBLEM OVER A YEAR AGO, AND DESPITE SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALER, THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL WHILE SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEARS. THIS RESULTS IN A VERY HARSH SHIFT. THE MAIN SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT WHILE YOU ARE TRYING TO ACCELERATE, YOUR VEHICLE GOES INTO NEUTRAL AND YOU NEARLY STOP. NOT ONLY HAVE I BEEN SLAMMED INTO MY SEAT WHEN IT FINALLY CATCHES IN THE NEXT GEAR, BUT I'VE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE DEALER CLAIMS IT'S "DOING WHAT ITS SUPPOSE TO".

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF AND THE ENGINE RAN FOR HOURS. EVENTUALLY, THE INTERNAL SYSTEM RECOGNIZED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND FINALLY TURNED ITSELF OFF. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT DONE ANYTHING TO ADDRESS THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THEY ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 18-NA-297 ON DECEMBER 13, 2018. THE CONTACT CALLED NUMEROUS UNKNOWN DEALERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO TRY TO BUY THE PART MENTIONED IN THE SERVICE BULLETIN, BUT THE PART WAS STILL ON BACKORDER. THE PART THAT WAS NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER ASSEMBLY (NUMBER: 13528228). THE COST OF THE PART WAS LESS THAN $150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF ITS INITIAL WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,500. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. *TR

THE CAR WILL NOT RECOGNIZE OR SHIFT TO PARK.. THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF WHILE THE SHIFTER IS IN PARK THINKING THAT THE CAR ISN'T IN PARK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE YOU BELIEVE IT IS IN PARK WHEN THE CAR IS SAYING IT ISN'T AND WILL NOT CLEAR THE ALERT UNLESS YOU CONTINUOUSLY TURN THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF AND TOGGLE THE SHIFTER. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE ISSUE BEING REPORTED

OUR 2017 GMC ACADIA DENALI SAYS TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK BEFORE TURNING IT OFF WHEN THE CAR IS ALREADY IN PARK AND ENGINE OFF. ALL ELECTRONICS STAY ON AND WILL KILL THE BATTERY.

WHEN PARKING THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTING TO SHUT OFF, THE ACADIA GIVES THE MESSAGE "SHIFT TO PARK". THE VEHICLE IS CLEARLY IN PARK AND I MUST START THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND SHIFT TO REVERSE OR ANOTHER POSITION AND TURN OFF. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO LOCK THE VEHICLE AND KEEPS POWER TO THE VEHICLE (DRAINING THE BATTERY) UNTIL IT RECOGNIZES THAT IT IS INDEED IN PARK. THIS HAS CAUSED A STALL AND THE VEHICLE TO POSSIBLY STILL BE IN GEAR WHEN PARKED LEADING TO A ROLLING HAZARD. HAS TAKEN AS MANY AS 15 TIMES FOR THE VEHICLE TO REALIZE IT IS IN PARK. GENERAL MOTORS HAS ISSUED A TSB (18-NA-297) REGARDING THIS ISSUE, BUT IS PLACING THE COST OF THE FIX ON THE CONSUMER. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT HAS STARTED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

WHEN YOU SHIFT INTO PARK, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT REGISTER AS BEING IN PARK. THERE IS AN INDICATOR ON THE GAUGE PANEL SAYING "SHIFT TO PARK." THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, THE ENGINE CANNOT BE TURNED OFF WHILE IN THIS CONDITION AND IT DOES NOT REGISTER THE TRANSMISSION AS BEING IN PARK. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS SHIFTED INTO PARK ONCE THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED.

SHIFT TO PARK RECALL - THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. MY ACADIA WAS IN PARK AND I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND I GOT AN ERROR CODE THAT SAID ACTION REQUIRED SHIFT TO PARK. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON PUT IT IN DRIVE AND BACK INTO PARK AND TURN THE CAR OFF THE STOP THE BEEPING. I SPOKE TO FLEMINGTON GMC AND THIS ISSUE IS NOT A RECALL. THIS MAKES NO SENSE TO ME THE ERROR CODE READS ACTION REQUIRED SHIFT TO PARK. WHICH CLEARLY MEANS THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK IF IT'S TELLING YOU TO SHIFT TO PARK WHEN YOU ALREADY PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF USING THE START STOP BUTTON. I AM STILL WAITING FOR A PHONE CALL FROM AMBER AT GMC AS I WAS SUPPOSE TO BE CALLED ON 9/3/19 REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

AT RANDOM TIMES, WHEN PARKING MY VEHICLE, AFTER PLACING IT IN 'PARK' AND SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF, THE DIC WARNS TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN 'PARK' EVEN WHEN THE SHIFT LEVER IS IN 'PARK'. I HAVE TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN, SHIFT THE VEHICLE FROM 'PARK TO 'DRIVE' AND THEN BACK TO 'PARK', SHUTCTHE VEHICLE OFF AND THE WARNING ON THE DLC GOES AWAY. THIS IS STARTING TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN, EVERY 3-5 START-STOP CYCLES.

MY CAR WILL GIVE ME AN ALERT WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK THAT SAY'S " SHIFT TO PARK" EVEN THOUGH I HAVE PUT IT IN PARK. THEN THE CAR WILL NOT SHUT OFF. I WILL TRY SHIFTING IT OVER AND OVER TO TRY TO GET IT TO ENGAGE SO I CAN SHUT IT OFF.

WHEN VEHICLE IS SHIFTED INTO PARK INFORMATION CENTER SAYS VEHICLE IS NOT IN PARK AND VEHICLE WILL NOT SHUT OFF. I HAVE TAKING THE VEHICLE INTO GMC SERVICE AND THEY SAID IT WAS OKAY TO DRIVE IT AND TAKE IT HOME. SINCE THEN WE HAVE HAD TO GET THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO THE SERVICE DEALERSHIP THAT SAID IT WAS OKAY TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DIED SEVERAL TIMES AND WOULD NOT START. THERE IS A NATION WIDE PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL ANT THE SHIFTING NOT STAYING IN PARK.

GETTING A "SHIFT INTO PARK" MESSAGE WHEN THE CAR HAS ALREADY BEEN PUT INTO PARK. IT TAKES SEVERAL TIMES RESTARTING THE CAR AND MOVING THE SHIFT LEVER IN AND OUT OF PARK FOR IT TO RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS IN PARK.

KEEPS TELLING ME TO PUT VEHICLE IN PARK WHEN IT'S ALREADY IN PARK. ALSO NOT CONSISTENT ABOUT TELLING YOU TO CHECK BACK SEAT. SOMETIMES IT DOES AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. IT'S TURNED ON.

I HAVE A 2017 ACADIA. WHEN THE CAR IS SHIFTED INTO PARK, THE DASHBOARD SHOWS A WARNING THAT THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK! IT SAYS I CAN'T TURN OFF THE CAR UNTIL THE CAR IS IN PARK, EVEN THOUGH IT'S IN PARK. AFTER SPEAKING TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT MY DEALERSHIP, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND THEY BOUGHT IN EXTRA PARTS TO REPAIR THE CARS THAT COME IN. THIS FIRST HAPPENED 6 MONTHS AGO BUT ONLY OCCURED ONE TIME, NOW IT IS CONSISTANT AND I AM ONLY 700 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY SO I AM STUCK PAYING FOR IT OUT OF POCKET. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM.

THE CAR WILL NOT RECOGNIZES IT IS IN PARK AND WILL NOT LET YOU SHUT IT OFF SOMETIMES. EVEN WORSE IT LETS YOU SHUT IT OFF BUT ISN'T ACTUALLY AL THE WAY OFF. SO THE BATTERY DIES. GM DEALER PUT NEW SHIFTER IN AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THEN THEY PUT A BOTHER NEW SENSOR IN AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN.
