2017 GMC Acadia

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
