2017 GMC Acadia

SHIFT TO PARK PROBLEM, THE DEALER TRIED FIXING IT 3 TIMES NOW AND HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE WHEEL. WHEN SOMETIMES TURNING THE CAR. I CAN FEEL SOMETHING IS LIKE STOCK ON TGE WHEEL MAKING ME FEEL LIKE THE WHEEL IS GONNA GET OFF. I TRUED CONTACTING THE DEALER AND CHEVY OFFICE FOR A BUYBACK BUT THEY AREN'T APPROVING IT COS THEY SAID I DONT HAVE ENOUGH REASON FOR THEM TO APPROVE IT. EVEN THO I KEEP TELLING THEM I AM NOT GONNA WAIT FOR ANYTHING BAD TO HAPPEN SINCE I HAVE A 5 MONTH OLD BABY WITH ME. TGE OBLY THING THEY SUGGESTING IS HAVING IT CHECKED. AND THAT'S IT.

BETWEEN 1300-1500 RPM THERE IS A HESITATION FOR ACCELERATION. IT SEEMS THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AT THIS RPM AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS COMPLAINT. THE 1ST TIME THIS OCCURRED THE TECHNICIAN REPORTED THE CAR WAS SEVERAL BULLETINS BEHIND AND WAS BROUGHT CURRENT. THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IF ANYTHING THE ISSUE BECAME MORE NOTICEABLE. A BRAKE SENSOR AND GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY HAVE ALSO BEEN REPLACED DUE TO DEFECT.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT INTO PARK(STOPPED) AND TURNED OFF THE CAR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS IN PARK. SO NOW IT SAYS "ACTION REQUIRED SHIFT TO PARK" (THE GEAR SHIFT IS IN PARK). THE ENGINE WILL BE OFF BUT THE LIGHTS, RADIO ANYTHING TIED TO THE BATTERY WILL NOT TURN OFF. THIS RUNS DOWN THE BATTERY IF YOU CANT GET THE CARD TO PARK. DEALER SHIP WILL NOT FIX

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER IN THE PARK POSITION, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. ON ONE SUCH OCCASION IT TOOK 24 ATTEMPTS TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BERGSTROM BUICK GMC OF GREEN BAY 3330 LOCATED AT 301 N TAYLOR ST #101, GREEN BAY, WI 54304, (800) 721-1840, TO BE DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE ENTIRE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED HOWEVER; THE FAILURE RECURRED. A SECONDARY REPAIR WAS PERFORMED WITH THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY WIRING HARNESS BEING REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. *DT*JB

WE PURCHASED A 2017 ACADIA AWD SLT ON DECEMBER 28, 2017. THERE WAS A RECALL ON GM BULLETIN #19-NA-206 FOR (SHIFT TO PARK) ISSUE. DEALER MICHAEL HOHL GMC 3700 S CARSON ST, CARSON CITY, NV 89701 ORDERED PART BUT WAS NOT INSTALLED UNTIL 1/13/20. DAY AFTER REPAIRS, FUELED CAR AND GAS GAUGE WOULD SHOW THREE QUARTERS FULL. THE FUEL RANGE ALSO BOUNCES UP AND DOWN AND IS NOT ACCURATE. IS THIS A GM RECALL ISSUE? MY CAR IS NOW OUT OF THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY TO REPAIR THIS GAS GAUGE PROBLEM. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT WE MIGHT RUN OUT OF FUEL DUE TO FAULTY GAS GAUGE READING OR WAS THIS A PROBLEM CREATED BY R/R IN-LINE SHIFTER WIRE HARNESS JUMPER. CAR WAS AT DEALER FOR REPAIR (IN WARRANTY) @ 27,762 UNDER MILEAGE AND IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO THREE YEAR TIME SPAN. NOW @27,784 MILES.

CAR GIVES A "ACTION REQUIRED, SHIFT TO PARK" AND DOES NOT TURN OFF ALTHOUGH YOU HAVE PUT THE CAR IN PARK. YOU HAVE TO PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE AND MOVE IT BACK TO PARK MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE IT SENSES IT IS IN PARK AND BEFORE IT WILL LET YOU TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENED IN A PARKING SPOT.

WITH MY VEHICLE STATIONARY AND SHIFTER IN THE PARK POSITION, I TURN MY CAR OFF AND THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF BUT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SAYS "ACTION REQUIRED - SHIFT TO PARK". THIS MESSAGE ALSO DOES NOT ALLOW THE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS TO TURN OFF AND IF THE LIGHTS DON'T TURN OFF THE BATTERY DRAINS IF PARKED FOR LONG STRETCHES. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR ON/OFF SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT ENGAGES AND THE MESSAGE DISAPPEARS.
