2017 GMC Acadia

I RECEIVE A 'SHIFT TO PARK' WARNING MESSAGE WHEN MY VEHICLE IS CLEARLY IN THE PARK POSITION AND IT PREVENTS MY CAR FROM BEING ABLE TO COMPLETELY TURN OFF. I HAVE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED AT THE GMC DEALERSHIP ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND IT IS NOW GIVING ME THE SAME ERROR. I AM NOW NO LONGER ABLE TO OPEN MY GARAGE DOOR FROM MY VEHICLE, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES IN WHICH THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE EITHER ONE OF MY KEY FOBS.

WHEN I PULL IN SOMEWHERE AND SHIFT MY CAR INTO PARK AND THEN GO TO PRESS THE BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF I GET AN ' ACTION REQUIRED MESSAGE' ON THE CLUSTER TO SHIFT TO PARK EVEN THOUGH IT IS IN PARK ALREADY AND IT SHOWS ON THE CLUSTER THAT IT IS IN PARK. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR THE RECALL AND HAVE IT SERVICED WHILE IT WAS THERE AND INFORMED THEM OF THE ISSUE AND TO GET THEM TO CHECK IT OUT. THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT SURE WHAT IT WAS BUT IT KEPT THROWING A LOW VOLTAGE CODE. BUT WHEN THE BATTERY WAS CHECKED IT WAS FINE. THEY FOUND A BOLT LOOSE OR MISSING ON A BATTERY CABLE AT THE JUNCTION BOX AND REPLACED IT AND SAID THAT THEY THOUGHT THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. BUT THE PROBLEM RETURNED A DAY LATER WHEN I WAS ON A TRIP TO NASHVILLE. WHILE IN NASHVILLE I AGAIN WENT TO THE AUTO PARTS STORE FOR MY DAUGHTER AND PULLED INTO PARK AND GOT THE SAME ' SHIFT TO PARK MESSAGE WHEN I WAS ALREADY IN PARK. THE CLUSTER ON THE DASH SHOWED THAT I WAS IN PARK. I GOT OUT TO GO AHEAD AND RUN INTO THE STORE AND WHEN I CAME OUT MY CAR HAD ROLLED BACKWARDS ACROSS THE PARKING LOT TO THE CURB. LUCKILY IT DID NOT HIT ANYTHING BUT THE CURB AND STOPPED. THIS PROBLEM IS SO DANGEROUS AND CONCERNING TO ME. IT IS GOING BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET CHECKED AGAIN . I DID FIND A YOUTUBE VIDEO EXPLAINING WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE SHIFTER AND WHY IT WAS NOT RECOGNIZING THAT THE CAR WAS IN PARK. LOOK IN THE SEARCH BAR FOR GMC ACADIA SHIFT TO PARK PROBLEMS. I FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL SO NO ONE ELSE S CAR ENDS UP HURTING SOMEONE. I HAVE NO VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING BECAUSE THE CAMERAS AT THE AUTO PARTS STORE WERE NOT OPERATIONAL AND NO ONE WAS AROUND WHEN IT HAPPENED TO SEE IT BUT ME. *TR

THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAD WAS THE SHIFT. I GOT IT FIXED. I HAVE IT ALL DOCUMENTED. NOW FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS MY CAR HAS FLASHED EVERY WARNING LIGHT POSSIBLE. I TOOK IT IN THE FIRST TIME AND WAS TOLD THE CODES DID NOT STORE AND TO KEEP DRIVING IT. I FINALLY GOT A VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM HAPPENING AND DROPPED IT OFF FOR A SECOND TIME. DURING THE PROBLEM ALL GAUGES GO TO ZERO AND THE GEAR SYMBOL DISAPPEARS. THE LAST TIME I DROVE THE CAR IT ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND I DID NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN JUNE 2017. FIRST, THE CAR CAME WITH THE WRONG DOOR HANDLE ON ONE OF THE DOORS THAT TOOK 3 MONTHS TO FIX BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP SCREWED UP THE PAINT ON THE DOOR AND HAD TO PAINT PRACTICALLY THE WHOLE CAR. AND INITIALLY THE DEALERSHIPS AND GMC CORPORATE GAVE ME THE RUNAROUND WITH WHO WAS PAYING FOR THE BILL WHICH THE CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH. THEN THE CAR HAD A SHIFT TO PARK ISSUE IN JULY 2019 WHICH GMC WOULD NOT REPLACE AT THEIR COST EVEN THOUGH THEY RELEASED A NOTICE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ABOUT IT BECAUSE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE BUT NEVER ISSUED A TRUE RECALL NOTICE BECAUSE THEY WANTED THE CONSUMER TO GET STUCK WITH THE BILL. AND SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY MIRRORS NOT STAYING PROGRAMMED AND THE AIR VENTING AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHING TO LETTING AIR IN FROM THE OUTSIDE WITHOUT ME CHANGING IT. THEN MY CAR BATTERY STARTED GOING OUT FEBRUARY 2020 WHICH SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS OF THIS CAR BEING PURCHASED. AND NOW MY RADIATOR (WHICH IS ESTIMATED AT CLOSE TO $1,000 TO REPLACE) IS LEAKING; AGAIN THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING THIS SOON UNLESS THIS CAR IS A LEMON. GMC WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY OF IT WITH THIS CAR AND THIS IS MORE PROBLEMS THAT ANYONE SHOULD EVER HAVE WITH A CAR WITHIN 3 YEARS OF PURCHASING IT BRAND NEW UNLESS IT IS A LEMON CAR WHICH AT THIS POINT, I THINK MINE IS.

I ATTEMPT TO PLACE MY ACADIA INTO PARK AND POWER DOWN MY VEHICLE ONLY TO GET A "SHIFT TO PARK" ERROR MESSAGE. I AM UNABLE TO POWER DOWN MY VEHICLE AND NOT FULLY PARK MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH I HAVE PARKED IT. THIS OCCURS DAILY AND HAS OCCURED 15-20 TIMES IN 1 ATTEMPT TO PARK. I HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO TURN CAR BACK "ON" AND THEN PUT CAR INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE DRIVING ABOUT A FOOT OR SO THAN ATTEMPT TO REPARK MY VEHICLE. ONLY TO HAVE TO REPEAT THIS STEP OVER AND OVER TIL IT FINALLY DISAPPEARS. GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE ASSOCIATE CLAIMS THEY ARE UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE. OF COURSE THIS ISSUE ONLY OCCURRED AFTER MY VEHICLE WARRANTY EXPIRED.
