2018 GMC Acadia complaints

THE VEHICLE WOULD DISPLAY A DASHBOARD WARNING "SHIFT TO PARK." EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO "PARK" THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT REGISTER THAT IT WAS IN PARK. THIS WOULD PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM BEING TURNED OFF. A DRIVER WOULD THINK THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, AND TAKE THEIR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT REGISTER IT WAS IN PARK AND WOULD DISPLAY A WARNING ON THE DASH "SHIFT TO PARK." YOU WOULD THEN HAVE TO SHIFT BACK AND FORTH, FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR DRIVE AND THEN BACK INTO PARK FOR THE VEHICLE TO FINALLY REGISTER IT WAS IN PARK. THIS WOULD OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND SITTING ANYWHERE YOU WOULD PARK THE CAR.

WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF I RECEIVE THE MESSAGE SHIFT TO PARK. THE CAR IS ALREADY IN PARK AND I HAVE TO SHIFT MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE CAR TO REGISTER IT AS PARKED.

WHEN I TRY TO SHUT VEHICLE OFF IT SAYS SHIFT TO PARK. MY VEHICLE IS ALREADY IN PARK AND I CANNOT SHUT IT OFF. IT JUST CONTINUES DO DING AS WELL AND I CANNOT LOCK THE DOORS AND THE LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF.

WHENEVER I SHIFT FROM DRIVER OR REVERSE INTO PARK MY CAR ISN'T REGISTERING THAT I SHIFTED TO PARK AND IF GIVING ME THE MESSAGE OF 'SHIFT TO PARK'. I HAD TO SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO PARK AT LEAST 4 TIMES TO BE ABLE TO GET MY CAR TO RECOGNIZE THAT MY CAR WAS IN PARK AND SO I COULD TURN OFF MY CAR.

WHEN PUTTING MY VEHICLE IN PARK AND PRESSING THE ENGINE OFF BUTTON, I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE "SHIFT TO PARK", AND THE VEHICLE BEEPS AND WILL NOT TURN OFF THE ELECTRICAL, BUT THE CARE IS ALREADY IN PARK. I AM UNABLE TO TURN OFF MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY. I HAVE TO PRESS START AGAIN AND PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND BACK TO PARK, SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO REGISTER THAT IS IN PARK AND ALLOW ME TO SHUT OFF MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE MAY NOT ACTUALLY BE IN PARK WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK. I DO NOT WANT IT TO ROLL DOWN A HILL AND I WANT TO BE ABLE TO TURN OFF MY CAR WITHOUT BEING CONCERNED IT WILL CONTINUE TO RUN ELECTRICAL AND KILL MY BATTERY.

VEHICLE STATES "ACTION REQUIRED - SHIFT TO PARK" EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE IS IN PARK. ACCESSORIES STAY ON AND VEHICLE CONTINUOUSLY SOUNDS WARNING CHIME. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS SHIFTED TO PARK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 GMC ACADIA. WHEN PLACING THE VEHICLE INTO PARK, "ACTION REQUIRED, SHIFT TO PARK" APPEARED AND A WARNING CHIME SOUNDED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED INTO PARK AND SHUT OFF, THE BEEPING NOISE CONTINUED. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE WARNING NOISE AND INDICATOR TURNED OFF AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. BUDD BAER AUTO (71 MURTLAND AVE, WASHINGTON, PA 15301, 724-914-6670) WAS NOTIFIED AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 32,000.

WHEN THE CAR IS SHIFTED INTO PARK, THE DASHBOARD SHOWS A WARNING THAT THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK. THE CAR THEN WON'T TURN OFF COMPLETELY.

THE VEHICLE SHOWS A WARNING WITH A BELL TONE 'SHIFT TO PARK' WHEN THE CAR IS ALREADY IN PARK. IT STOPS ONLY AFTER WIGGLING GEAR SHIFTER NUMEROUS TIMES.

CAR WILL NOT RECOGNIZE I'VE SHIFTED TO PARK WHEN I TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. IT SAYS SHIFT TO PARK WHEN I ALREADY HAVE, AND I HAVE TO START THE CAR AND SHIFT AGAIN OVER AND OVER TO PARK FOR IT TO WORK. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY.

'SHIFT TO PARK' ERROR MESSAGE IS SHOWING WHEN MY VEHICLE IS ALREADY IN PARK AND I'M TRYING TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE LESS THAN A MONTH AGO AND IT CURRENTLY HAS 33K MILES ON IT. I'VE HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THIS ERROR TO GO AWAY. WHEN THE MESSAGE FLASHES I'VE EVEN EXPERIENCED THE VEHICLE ROLLING INDICATING IT IS IN FACT NOT IN PARK ALTHOUGH THE SHIFTER IS IN PARK POSITION. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY AND I WILL ALSO BE CONSULTING AN ATTORNEY AS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NO CLEAR FIX (MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SHIFTER REPLACED ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AGAIN) AND THE PART THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IS ON BACKORDER. PEOPLE'S VEHICLES LITERALLY CANNOT TURN OFF RESULTING IN BATTERIES DYING AMONG THE VERY OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS. HOW IS THIS LEGAL?

SHIFT TO PARK I SHIFT THE CAR INTO PARK AND TRY AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND IT STILL SAYS SHIFT TO PARK LIKE THE CAR ISNT IN PARK BUT IT IS. IT WONT ALLOW ME TO TURN THE CAR OFF. I HAVE TO SHIFT IT INTO DIFFERENT GEARS OR JIGGLE THE SHIFTER FOR IT TO REGISTER. I HAVE HAD TO RESORT TO REMOVING THE BATTERY CABLES OFF TO TURN IT OFF ONE TIME AS WELL. THE CAR WHEN IT DOES SHUT OFF FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION ISNT FULLY ENGAGED.

I JUST BOUGHT THIS 2018 ACADIA IN JULY AND IT IS NOW GIVING ME THE SHIFT TO PARK ALERT EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS IN PARK. IT TAKES SEVERAL TRIES OF RESTARTING AND SHIFTING TO GET IT TO TURN OFF, SO FAR. I'M AFRAID ONE TIME IT WILL BE STUCK THERE PERMANENTLY.THIS APPARENTLY IS A KNOWN AND FREQUENT ISSUE AND GMC NEEDS TO DO A RECALL.

FIRST OF ALL, THIS ISSUE IS BEING REPORTED BY HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF GMC ACADIA OWNERS. I RECEIVED THE "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE MONTHS AGO WHILE IT STILL WAS UNDER THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY AND THEN IT WENT AWAY UNTIL LAST WEEK. I GOT A "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE WHEN I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF EVEN THOUGH THE GEAR WAS IN THE SHIFT POSITION. THIS CAUSED A NUMBER OF SECONDARY ISSUES THAT ARE NOW COMPROMISING THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. ONCE I AM ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON AFTER IT DRAINS OR KILLS THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, I AM GETTING A NUMBER OF ISSUES. HOWEVER, THE ONES THAT CONCERN ME THE MOST ARE THE ROLLS EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK, LOSS OF POWER STEERING, LOSS OF AWD, LOSS OF STABILITRACK, LOSS OF ABS, BRAKING SYSTEM ERROR AND POWER SURGES. THESE ARE THE MOST CONCERNING BUT I AM ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH MY DASHBOARD, NAVIGATION, AND VEHICLE INSTRUMENTS. I CALLED THE GMC DEALER WHO HAD NO PROBLEM TELLING ME THE GEAR SHIFT BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY HAD NO IDEA WHEN THEY CAN FIX IT BECAUSE IT WAS ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER. WHAT REALLY DISTURBS ME IS THAT THERE ARE LAWSUITS GOING ON DEALING WITH THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE AND THAT LITERALLY IT COMPROMISES THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AND NEITHER GMC OR THE NHTSA HAVE ACTED ON THIS. I WAS DRIVING TODAY AND REALIZED HOW DANGEROUS IT WAS TO OPERATE A VEHICLE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. YOU CAN LITERALLY BE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE HAVE A POWER SURGE WHICH MAKES YOU LOSE CONTROL CAUSED BY A MALFUNC

MY 2018 GMC ACADIA HAS WARNING OF SHIFT TO PARK. WHEN IT IS IN PARK. AND WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO TURN OFF THE CAR. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IT IS STATIONARY.

2018 GMC ACADIA VIN [XXX] MY CAR HAS 41,000 MILES. WHEN I PARK AND TRY TO SHUT MY CAR OFF A MESSAGE POPS UP THAT SAYS "SHIFT TO PARK". IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO SHUT MY CAR OFF BECAUSE IT DOES NOT IDENTIFY THAT IT IS IN FACT IN PARK. TODAY IT TOOK ME 15 MINUTES OF TURNING MY CAR OFF AND ON AND SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF PARK TO GET IT OFF. TWO DAYS AGO MY CAR STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

GMC ACADIA "SHIFT TO PARK". THE SUVS FAIL TO DETECT WHEN THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER IS MOVED TO PARK. THE DASH BOARD SHOWA A MESSAGE ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS THAT SAYS SHIFT TO PARK EVEN THOUGH THE GEAR SHIFT LEVERS ARE ALREADY IN PARK. IN ADDITION TO LOSING THE ABILITY TO SHUT OFF AND LOCK THE SUVS, I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE SUV OFF AFTER ATTEMPTING TO DO SO SERVERAL TIMES.

GMC ACADIA WILL NOT REGISTER WHEN THE DRIVER SHIFTS THE GEARS INTO PARK. AN ERROR MESSAGE 'SHIFT TO PARK' IS SHOWN ON THE DASHBOARD EVEN THOUGH THE GEAR IS IN PARK. THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF BECAUSE OF THE ERROR MESSAGE. IT TAKES SEVERAL TURNS OF SWITCHING THE CAR ON AND OFF AND FLIPPING THROUGH ALL THE GEARS IN ORDER FOR THE MESSAGE TO DISAPPEAR SO THAT THE CAR TURNS OFF. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON JUNE 26 FOR REPAIRS AND HAS BEEN SITTING THERE OVER A MONTH BECAUSE THEY ARE UNABLE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 GMC ACADIA. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND "PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK" WAS DISPLAYED. AS A RESULT, THE BATTERY DIED. THE CONTACT CALLED RENO BUICK GMC CADILLAC AT 775-333-0000 (LOCATED AT 900 KIETZKE LN, RENO, NV 89502) AND SCHEDULED A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 37,000.

KNOWN DASH PROMPTING ME TO SHIFT INTO PARK WHEN THE INDICATOR LIGHTS SHOW ITS IN THE PARK POSITION SO THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF BUT DASHBOARD LIGHTS STAY ON AND WON'T STOP UNTIL BATTERY IS DEAD

WHILE STATIONARY, INSTRUMENTS SHOW A SHIFT TO PARK MESSAGE, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS IN PARK. ACADIA WOULD NOT FULLY TURN OFF UNTIL THIS MESSAGE IS NOT PRESENT. THE ONLY WAY FOUND TO HAVE THE MESSAGE CLEAR IS TO CONTINUALLY SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO PARK UNTIL IT RECOGNIZES THAT THE CAR IS INDEED IN PARK. THIS HAPPENS REPEATEDLY - 8 OUT OF 10 TIMES I DRIVE MY CAR.

AUTO DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT TRANSMISSION IS IN PARK.

CANNOT LEAVE CAR. "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE APPEARS EVEN WITH CAR IS PARKED. SOMETIMES TAKES 15 MINUTES TO PUT CAR IN PARK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 GMC ACADIA. WHEN THE CONTACT TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE'S WARNING SENSOR WENT OFF, THE RADIO REMAINED ON, AND THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS FAILED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO LOCK THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GREAT LAKES GMC BUICK (2824 N RIDGE RD E, ASHTABULA, OH 44004, (440) 319-3925) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A SENSOR FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE REMEDY WAS NOT AVAILABLE DUE TO A SHORTAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

THE VEHICLE KEEPS SAYING "SHIFT INTO PARK" WHEN PARKED. CAN NOT CORRECTLY SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF OR LOCK THE DOORS ALL THE DASH STAYS LIT UP. MUST RUN THROUGH THE GEARS SEVERAL TIMES. TURNING IT OFF AND ON UNTIL IT GOES AWAY.

WHEN I TRY TO SHUT OFF IGNITION I GET A WARNING ON THE DASH THAT SAYS TO PUT VEHICLE INTO PARK BEFORE SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK ALREADY. I HAVE TO SHIFT IN AND OUT OF PARK OR RIDE AROUND AGAIN AND THEN TRYING PARKING AGAIN TO GET IT TO SHUT OFF. ONCE I EVEN LEFT IT RUNNING AND WENT INTO THE STORE BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF DUE TO IT THINKING IT WAS NOT IN PARK AND IT WAS.

AFTER PARKING, MY ACADIA WOULD NOT SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. A MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASH, 'ACTION REQUIRED, SHIFT TO PARK'. A CONSTANT CHIME WAS SOUNDING ALSO. I RESTARTED THE CAR, SHIFTED OUT OF PARK, BACK INTO PARK, TRIED TO SHUT OFF AGAIN...SAME THING....4X'S!!! I WENT RIGHT OVER TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR AND EXPLAINED WHAT WAS HAPPENING ( COULDN'T SHUT OFF THERE EITHER). SERVICE MANAGER KNEW IMMEDIATELY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BUT SAYS THE PART (GEAR SHIFT) IS ON BACKORDER AND HAS NO IDEA FOR HOW LONG!!! WHAT??? WHY ISN'T THIS A RECALL? I'VE READ QUITE A FEW OF THIS SAME COMPLAINT SO I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS ISN'T A RECALL ALREADY ESPECIALLY IF THE GEAR SHIFT REQUIRED TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS ON BACKORDER, IT'S OBVIOUSLY A BIGGER ISSUE THEN 1 OR 2. SO FOR NOW , I JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND 'KEEP PLAYING WITH THE GEAR SHIFTER UNTIL IT GOES OFF' AS I WAS TOLD UNTIL THE PART COMES IN! HOW CRAZY IS THIS

ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS, BOTH PARKED TURNED OFF AND RUNNING DOWN HIGHWAY, THE DASH LIGHTS LIT UP AND ALARMS CHIMED. CAR WOULDN'T START, NO COLD A/C. THE "SERVICE POWER STEERING" MESSAGE DISPLAYED. CAR DIDN'T TURN AS WELL. COULDN'T SHIFT. AFTER DOING SO FOR A ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES IT WOULD GO BACK TO NORMAL. THE ATTACHED PHOTO WAS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD YOU'LL NOTICE IT DOESN'T MEASURE ANY RPM'S HOWEVER THE CAR IS MOVING ABOUT 40MPH

WATER LEAKING IN THREW BACK WINDOWS, SIDE WALLS , WATER COMING IN THERE PLASTIC IN DOORS BOTH FRONT AND BACK, WATER COMING IN BACK UP UNDER HEAD LINER. THIS ALL HAPPENING AFTER RAINFALL AND THE CAR WAS PARKED IN DRIVE. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 8,000 MILES ON IT PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN OCTOBER 2018 OFF SHOW ROOM FLOOR, I AM THE ONLY OWNER. I HAVE PICTURES TO SUPPORT ALL OF THIS AS WELL, INCLUDING WATER DAMAGE.

"SHIFT TO PARK" ERROR 90% OF THE TIME WHEN I ATTEMPT TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. IT IS IN PARK AND IT'S NOT RECOGNIZED AS BEING IN PARK. IT CAN TAKE ME ANYWHERE FROM 30 SECONDS TO 5 MINUTES TO JIGGLE IT THE RIGHT WAY TO GET IT TO REGISTER. PROBLEM IS UNTIL IT DOES REGISTER IN PARK I CAN'T SECURE THE VEHICLE. AND IT DINGS NONSTOP DRAINING THE BATTERY. I UNDERSTAND GM IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND DOESN'T HAVE A FIX. IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION IN MY OPINION. I'M STUCK IN A LEASE PAYING FOR A CAR THAT ISN'T SAFE FOR ME. IT JUST STARTED 6 DAYS AGO AND HAS ALREADY OCCURRED MORE THAN 2 DOZEN OCCASIONS.

1* PURCHASED MARCH 2018 (ACADIA DENALI) SINCE AUGUST 2018 IN MOTION WHEN I ACCELERATE IT SOUNDS LIKE A LOUD LAWNMOWER & CRACKLING SOUND IN REAR MUFFLER AREA. TOOK IT CHEVY PLACE IN GLENPOOL, OK. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. 2* ON 2 OCCASSIONS, IN MOTION, THE CAR ACCELERATED WITH A LOUD NOISE & AS IF IT WERE GETTING POWER & NOT MOVING THEN JERKS & SPEEDS UP ABOUT 15MPH FASTER & I COULDN'T STOP IT. I KEPT SLAMMING ON MY BREAKS, BUT THE BREAK WOULD ONLY GO IN SO FAR. I WAS FRIGHTENED WITH MY 2 YOUNG BOYS IN CAR SCREAMING. IT'S LIKE RIDING A HORSE & IT TAKES OFF & YOU CAN'T CONTROL IT. 3* ON ABOUT 8 OR 9 OCCASSIONS STATIONARY I GET OUT OF MY CAR & IT MAKES A REALLY LOUD ANNOYING SOUND LIKE A MACHINE/ROBOT POWERING DOWN. MY KIDS ALWAYS SAY, IT'S GOING TO BLOW UP 4* THE MOST ANNOYING, FOR PAST MONTH...STATIONARY, EVERY SINGLE DAY & TIME I TURN MY IGNITION OFF. IT HAS LOUD BEEPING SOUND & CHECK REAR SEAT FLASHING ON SCREEN THEN SHIFT INTO PARK FLASHES. THIS OCCURS EVERY SINGLE TIME I TURN MY CAR OFF. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO JUST LET IT GO ON ALL DAY BECAUSE I CAN'T GET IT STOP. I TURN CAR ON & OFF SHIFT BACK & FORTH & IT STILL WILL NOT GO OFF. SOMETIMES IT DOES AFTER LONG PERIODS OF TIME. I DON'T HAVE TIME TO STRUGGLE WITH GETTING A CAR INTO PARK EVERY SINGLE TIME I TURN MY IGNITION OFF. I HAVE TO BEAT IT FORWARD HARD WITH MY HAND TO THE POINT MY WRIST IS BRUISED. NOW I HAVE TO USE MY FOOT TO KICK GEAR SHIFTER INTO PARK. I'M AFRAID T'S GOING TO ROLL OUT & OR DOWN AND HIT SOMETHING, SOME

WHEN THE CAR IS SHIFTED INTO PARK, THE DASHBOARD SHOWS A WARNING THAT THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK. I HAVE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER BACK AND FORTH BEFORE THE CAR REGISTERS THAT IT'S IN PARK. HAPPENS ON NEARLY EVERY OCCASION THAT I TURN MY CAR OFF.

EXPLODED SUNROOF - THE SUNROOF EXPLODED WHEN I WAS NOT IN THE CAR. I HEARD THE GLASS FALLING IN TO THE SUN SHADE WHEN I CLOSED THE DOOR. TOOK ME SEVERAL DAYS TO RECOGNIZE AND FIGURE OUT WHAT THE SOUND WAS. NO ROCKS, NO SIGN OF ANYTHING FALLING ON THE ROOF TO DAMAGE. THE GLASS APPEARED TO BE PUSHED OUT AS CAN BE SEEN ON THE PHOTOS.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE A 2018 GMC ACADIA BEEN HAVING IT SINCE JULY 2018. TODAY I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PUSHED TO THE BUTTON TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF BUT IN THE DASH IT WAS DINGING AND SAID "SHIFT INTO PARK". I TURNED THE CAR ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD SHUT ALL THE WAY OFF. IT HAS DOWN IT EVERY TIME I WENT TO SHUT THE CAR OFF TODAY. COULDN'T LEAVE IT AT WORK IN THE PARKING LOT LIKE THAT SO I HAD TO KEEP TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF AND SHIFTING IT INTO REVERSE AND BACK TO PARK UNTIL IT SHUT OFF.

WHEN I GO TO PUT CAR IN PARK AND GO TO TURN IT OFF IT SAW SHIFT TO PARK ON THE INFORMATION SCREEN. THE SHIFTER IS IN PARK AND P FLASHES ON AND OFF ON THE SHIFTER. GMC HAS SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THIS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU THINK YOU'RE IN PARK AND GO TO GET OUT AND IT IS NOT.

IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY 401 NORTH ONTARIO CANADA, THE VEHICLE ERRATICALLY INCREASED SPEED AND BRAKES WERE NOIR EFFECTIVE, LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH CAUSED A MASSIVE ACCIDENT INVOLVING MULTIPLE CARS AND RESULTED IN MULTIPLE INJURIES. *DT

TL* THE CONTACT RENTED A 2018 GMC ACADIA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S FRIEND WAS DRIVING 40 MPH, THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE DROVE THROUGH A PARTITION AND CRASHED INTO A BRICK WALL. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. ALL FOUR OCCUPANTS IN THE VEHICLE WERE INJURED AND RECEIVED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT SUFFERED CHEST PAIN, ANOTHER OCCUPANT SUSTAINED A CUT ON THE HEAD, AND THE OTHER TWO OCCUPANTS SUFFERED FRACTURES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A TOW LOT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. .*BF .*BF 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

MY ACADIA STALLS DURING ACCELERATION USUALLY WHILE GOING ABOUT 40-50 MPH AND PRESSING GAS PEDAL TO INCREASE TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ITS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS

I FINANCED THIS VEHICLE IN MAY 2018 THROUGH A GMC DEALERSHIP. IT IS JANUARY 2019 I STARTED GETTING ALERTS ONCE I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE MOTOR OFF. THE WARNING ALERTS STATED ON THE DASHBOARD "ACTION REQUIRED -SHIFT TO PARK-" EVEN THOUGH IT IS IS PARK. THE ALERT IS LOUD AND WILL NOT GO OFF. I HAVE TO START THE CAR AGAIN AND ADJUST THE GEAR SHIFT A FEW TIMES BY MOVING IT TO DRIVE, NEUTRAL OR REVERSE BEFORE THE VEHICLE RECOGNIZES THAT IT IS IS PARK AND THE ALERT LEAVES THE SCREEN AND THE SOUND GOES OFF. SOMETIMES IT TAKES A FEW MOMENTS OF MOVING THE GEAR SHIFT BEFORE I AM ABLE TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE. THIS IS HIGHLY INCONVENIENT ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE IN A HURRY TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE. I AM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY IMMEDIATELY ASKED ME WAS THE CAR STILL UNDER 36,000 MILES. THANKFULLY IT IS. I ENTERED MY VIN NUMBER IN THIS DATABASE AND NO RECALLS HAVE CAME UP FOR MY MODEL ODDLY. BUT FOR A DIFFERENT MODEL OF THE GMA ACADIA 2018 THERE IS 2 RECALLS. IRONICALLY, THE SAME COMPLAINT HAS BEEN REPORTED.

WHEN I PUT THE IN PARK, IT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THE VEHICLE IS ALREADY ENGAGED. THE CONSOLE DISPLAYS TELLS ME TO PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND BEEPS. I HAVE TO KEEP MOVING THE GEAR SHIFT FROM REVERSE TO NEUTRAL TO PARK SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT RECOGNIZES THE VEHICLE IN ENGAGED IN PARK. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ABOUT 8 MONTHS OR SO. I HAVE MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TELL ME THEIR ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY PROBLEM, NOT EVEN RECOGNIZING MY PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE.

DRIVING AT NIGHT , IF IT IS RAINING, HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH. SO BAD IT'S LIKE THERE NOT ON. THESE PROJECTION LIGHTS ARE USELESS. I HAVE HAD TWO NEAR MISSES BECAUSE OR THIS PROBLEM THE OLDER STYLE LIGHTS WERE SO MUCH BETTER, MY TRUCK HAS THE OLDER STYLE H4 BULBS AND THEY ARE SO MUCH BRIGHTER.

THE SERVICE STABILTRAK NOTIFCATION KEEPS COMING ON AND SHUTTING OFF ON ITS OWN WHILE IN MOTION ON A STREET AND IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. IT HAS OCCURRED AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND SEVERAL TIMES WITH DIFFERENT PEOPLE DRIVING.THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY AND IT DOESN'T SHOW IT EVEN CAME ON AT ALL. WHEN IN MOTION ON A STRRET GOING 46MPH THE CAR TRIED TO AUTO CORRECT PULLING ME OUT OF MY LANE BY ITSLEF. IT WAS A STRAIGHT STREET WITH NO CURVES WHERE THIS OCCURRED. THANK GOD THERE WASNT A CAR IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME. THE SIDE MIRRORS RESET THEMSELVES ALL THE TIME. IF I MOVE THE SEAT AND THEN HIT THE MEMORY BUTTON SO IT WILL GO TO THE SET POSITION THE SEAT DOESN'T MOVE AT ALL. I HAVE HAD RENTAL CARS MORE THAN MY ACADIA THE PAST 2MONTHS WHILE THE DEALERSHIP TRYS TO GET THESE ISSUES FIXED. I LOVE THE CAR BUT AM GETTING MAD WITH ALL THESE ISSUES.

I PURCHASED THE WIRELESS CHARGER. I RECEIVED THE GM DOCUMENT STATING WHAT VERSION OF PHONE I NEEDED FOR THE CHARGER TO WORK. I PURCHASED A PHONE AND THE CHARGER DOES NOT WORK. THE DEALER RESEARCHED THE PHONE AND THERE ARE ONLY SPECIFIC MODELS MANUFACTURED IN THE SAME YEAR THAT WORK FOR THE CHARGER. I HAVE TESTED WITH 5 DIFFERENT MODEL PHONES AND ONLY ONE WORKED. THIS OPTION IS A WASTE OF MONEY AND NOT ADVERTISED APPROPRIATELY NOR DOES THE GM BROCHURES OR WEBSITE PROVIDE ADEQUATE INFORMATION TO NOTIFY THE CONSUMER OF THE ISSUE.

FRONT SUNROOF EXPLODED ON JULY 25, 2018. DRIVING DOWN ROAD HEARD LOUD GUN SHOT LIKE SOUND AND THE GLASS STARTED POURING IN. MOST THE GLASS WENT TO THE BACK SEAT WHERE MY 4 AND 5 YEAR OLD WERE IN THEIR CAR SEATS. WE WERE HEADED ON VACATION FORM ARKANSAS TO THE BEACH IN ALABAMA. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. TWO LANE HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE NO CARS IN SIGHT. WEATHER WAS CLEAR.

FRONT SEATS FEEL LOOSE AND LIKE THEY SHIFT. WHEN THEY SHIFT AND MOVE A POPPING NOISE IS HEARD. THE SHIFTING AND POPPING NOISE HAPPENS IN AND OUT OF CORNERS, GOING OVER DRIVEWAY/PARKING LOT APRONS. THE SENSATION IS UNPLEASANT AND IRRITATING. HAVE SPOKEN TO DEALER AND AUTO BODY SHOP. ASSOCIATES CLAIM SIMILAR PROBLEM EXISTING WITH YUKON'S. DOES GMC HAVE A SEATING PROBLEM OR RECURRING DEFECT?

WHEN YOU PUT THE SHIFTER IN PARK IT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE & CABIN ALARM STARTS TO BEEP. THE VEHICLE WILL ALSO LEAVE ITS HEADLIGHTS ON OVERNIGHT & DRAIN YOUR BATTERY. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT'S BEEN 2 WEEKS AND NO LETTER OF RESOLUTION FROM MANUFACTURER AS THE DEALER SAID.

DRIVING STRAIGHT ON FREEWAY WHEN REAR PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED WITH THE SOUND LIKE A GUNSHOT. THE GLASS IS SHATTERED OUTWARD STILL WITH PHOTOS TO SHOW THE OUTWARD EXPLOSION.

PASSENGER SEAT SITS LOW ON THE FLOOR WITH MY SHOULDERS UNDER THE WINDOW SHELF AND NOT ADJUSTABLE UP OR DOWN, THE SEATBELT IS ALSO NOT ADJUSTABLE AND HIT RIGHT UNDER MY CHIN. NO WAY OF GETTING AWAY FROM BEING INJURED OR DECAPITATED IN A CRASH. IM 5'5"
