2017 GMC Acadia

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO SHUTOFF, IS MESSAGE APPEARS ON DASH THAT SAYS "SHIFT TO PARK". THIS PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALER THE 1ST TIME IT HAPPENED ON JUNE 11., 2018. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE SHIFTER. ON JULY 31, 2020 AGAIN THE SHIFT TO PARK MESSAGE APPEARED. THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN REPLACED THE SHIFTER, (THAT SHORTED OUT) AND THIS TIME INSTALLED A WIRING HARNESS THAT HAD A RESISTER INSTALLED IN THE HARNESS TO PREVENT DAMAGED TO THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY FROM THE OVER CURRENT THAT GOES TO THE SHIFTER. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THEY HAVE HAD NUMEROUS VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THE COM[ANY SHOULD DO A RECALL. HOW LONG BEFORE IT DOES IT AGAIN AND A ANOTHER $631.36 REPAIR BILL.

1. THE BATTERY TOTALLY DIES AFTER SITTING FOR 3 DAYS. 2. SOMETIMES A WARNING MESSAGE APPEARS "SHIFT INTO PARK" WHEN THE SHIFTING HANDLE IS IN PARK AND SOMETIMES PREVENTS TURNING THE ENGINE OFF. SOMETIMES AFTER TRYING SEVERAL TIMES IT STOPS THE ENGINE BUT DASH LIGHTS REMAIN ON. DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THEY DO NOT HAVE A DEFINATIVE SOLUTION.

VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO PARK SO YOU CAN TURN OFF VEHICLE AND EXIT CAR. CANNOT SECURE VEHICLE. WHAT IS IS GOING TO TAKE TO GET THIS PROBLEM RECALLED? SURELY SOMEONE WILL NOT HAVE TO DIE BECAUSE A VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO PARK? THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST GMC FOR THIS ISSUE. PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING AND HAVE THEM RECALL THIS PROBLEM.

MY 2017 GMC ACADIA IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS DESCRIBED IN N172097060 - SPECIAL COVERAGE SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT MODULE WATER INTRUSION MY VIN IS APPARENTLY NOT INCLUDED IN THE COVERED VEHICLES EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE IN THE SAME PART IN THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR RANGE OF THE BULLETIN. IT IS ALSO MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS ISSUE CAN CAUSE ADDITIONAL SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE THAT ARE POTENTIALLY VERY SERIOUS.. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALER WHO VERIFIED IT IS THE SAME CORROSION ISSUE DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON PLACING THE GEAR SHIFTER INTO THE PARK POSITION, THE SHIFT TO PARK WARNING MESSAGE ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE, AN AUDIBLE CHIME WAS HEARD INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE AT KARL CHEVROLET OF STUART (324 SW 8TH ST, STUART, IA 50250) WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED FOR THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THERE WAS CURRENTLY NO FIX FOR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.*BF CONSUMER STATED HARNESS WAS REPLACED.*JB

STARTING ABOUT A MONTH AGO WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND THEN TURN MY VEHICLE OFF A 'SHIFT TO PARK' WARNING COMES ON AND THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE CAR IS IN PARK AND I HAVE TO SHIFT TO A DIFFERENT GEAR AND BACK TO PARK TRYING TO GET IT TO REGISTER IT IS IN PARK. SOMETIMES IT TAKES MULTIPLE TIMES OF TRYING THIS BEFORE IT WILL RECOGNIZE IT. MY VEHICLE IS PAST THE 36,000 MILES WITH ABOUT 42,000 MILES. *TR

BEGINNING IN MAY, 2020, MY ACADIA STARTED SAYING "SHIFT TO PARK" WHEN I WOULD TRY TO SHUT IT OFF, ALTHOUGH IT IS IN PARK. IT HAS INCREASINGLY GOTTEN WORSE AND IT NOW HAPPENS EVERY DAY. THIS MORNING. I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR, MOVE BACKWARDS, FORWARDS, SHUT OFF CAR AND REPEAT 7 TIMES BEFORE IT FINALLY LET ME SHUT THE CAR OFF WITHOUT THE WARNING. *TR
