2017 GMC Acadia

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.

WHEN SHIFTING THE VEHICLE TO PARK AND THEN SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE, I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE 'ACTION REQUIRED- SHIFT TO PARK'. THE VEHICLE IS ALREADY IN PARK! I'VE HAD TO JIGGLE THE SHIFTER, PRESS THE BRAKE WHILE JIGGLING THE SHIFTER, RESTART THE VEHICLE PUT IN REVERSE, THEN BACK IN PARK, AND JIGGLE SOME MORE. THE RADIO AND LIGHTS (BOTH INTERIOR & EXTERIOR) WILL NOT POWER OFF AND THE DOOR CHIMES NONSTOP. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND IT HAS BEEN A LITTLE OVER A MONTH SINCE THE LAST INCIDENT WHICH OCCURRED TWO DAYS AFTER I HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY BECAUSE I MISSED THE ERROR MESSAGE HEADING IN TO WORK. THE LAST 2 DAYS MY HUSBAND HAS DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY BECAUSE NOTHING WILL WORK TO POWER OFF RADIO & LIGHTS. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY TWICE NOW IN A NEW VEHICLE LEASED IN 2016. THE FIRST TIME WAS DUE TO BRAKE RECALL, MY VEHICLE BEING THE ONLY 2017 GMC ACADIA DENALI EFFECTED BY THAT RECALL. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD REMAIN ON BECAUSE THE BRAKE WAS BASICALLY STICKING, DRAINING THE BATTERY. THAT ISSUE ALSO DISABLED THE CRUISE CONTROL AS THAT FEATURE IS UNAVAILABLE WHEN BREAKING! THIS VEHICLE ALSO HAD REPAIR TO WIRING IN DRIVER SIDE DOOR DUE TO WATER GETTING INTO THE DOOR FRAME FROM OUTSIDE AND CORRODING WIRES CAUSING DETECTION ISSUES WITH THE KEY FOB. I COULD NOT UNLOCK MY DOORS WITHOUT REMOVING THE KEY TO MANUALLY UNLOCK. WHILE IN THE CAR WASH, THE VEHICLE LOST CONNECTION WITH MY KEY AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT MOVED ALL THE WAY BACK AS IT WOULD FOR EASY EXIT WHICH I HAD DISABLED. MESSAGE STATING KEY NOT DETECTED WOULDI WAS TOLD A NEEDED A NEW BATTERY IN MY FOB, DEALERSHIP REPLACED, CALLED & SAID EVERYTHING WAS WORKING AS IT SHOULD. THEY RAN THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE CAR WASH BEFORE I ARRIVED TO PICK UP THE CAR. WHEN I TRIED TO UNLOCK THE DOORS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE THE FOB. THANK GOODNESS THE SERVICE REP WAS THERE TO WITNESS THE MALFUNCTION.

UPON SHIFTING THE CAR TO PARK AND SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE, THE CONSOLE SAYS, "SHIFT TO PARK". THE CAR APPEARS TO ROLL SOME. I HAVE NOT BEEN ON AN INCLINE TO SEE IF IT IS TRULY IN PARK OR NOT. IT WILL NOT ALLOW THE ELECTRONICS TO SHUT OFF AND WILL NOT LET YOU LOCK THE CAR SO THE CAR CANNOT BE LEFT WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY AND TODAY I HAD TO SHUT OFF AND START THE CAR AND DRIVE IT 10-15 TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD RECOGNIZE IT WAS ACTUALLY IN PARK.

UPON TURNING MY IGNITION OFF, THE "SHIFT TO PARK" WARNING MESSAGE APPEARS, EVEN THOUGH THE DISPLAY SHOWS THAT I AM IN "P" AND THE BRAKE IS ON. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP,I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND POINTED TO THE MESSAGE ON MY DISPLAY. BEFORE THE TECHNICIAN EVEN LOOKED INTO MY CAR, HE ASKED "SHIFT TO PARK"? SO OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS GMC REPAIR CENTER. MY FRUSTRATION IS THAT IF IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT, WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED?

UPON TURNING VEHICLE OFF, "SHIFT TO PARK!" ILLUMINATES ON THE CLUSTER. VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OFF UNTIL IT IS RE-STARTED, SHIFTED IN AND OUT OF GEAR. SOMETIMES THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE MULTIPLE TIMES. THERE HAS BEEN ONE INSTANCE THE ERROR WOULD NOT CLEAR, AND I WAS FORCED TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE ON, AS I WENT INTO A DOCTOR APPOINTMENT. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING, NOT TO MENTION THE WASTED FUEL WITH STARTING/STOPPING THE VEHICLE 5-10 TIMES EACH TIME I TURN IT OFF. I'VE TAKEN VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IT IS TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD HERE. RIDICULOUS.
