2017 GMC Acadia

WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THE CARS BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING UP WHEN SOMETHING TRIGGERS THE COLLISION SAFETY BREAK. SPECIFICALLY WHEN CROSSING RAIL ROAD TRACKS AFTER A TRAIN HAS PAST. AS A RESULT THE CAR STOPS COMPLETELY AND AUTOMATICALLY WHILE ON RAILROAD TRACKS AND WON'T ALLOW YOU TO MOVE. YOU HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, WAIT (ON RAILRAOD TRACKS) AND THEN ATTEMPT TO MOVE BUT IT MAY ACTIVATE IT AGAIN SO YOU HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN. MEANWHILE YOU ARE ON TRACKS, WITH CARS BEHIND YOU HONKING AND SCREAMING. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, REPORTED IT TO OUR DEALER, SERVICE AND GMC CORPORATE WHERE NOTHING WAS DONE. THEY SAID THEY WOULD PUT IN A "BLACK BOX" LIKE DEVICE BUT NEVER DID. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY AND ONE THAT GMC IS NOT ADDRESSING ADAQUATELY.

VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO PARK. I KEEP GETTING AN ERROR MESSAGE TO "SHIFT TO PARK" EVEN THOUGH I AM IN PARK, AND IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. I WILL HAVE TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND PARK ABOUT 25 TIMES BEFORE IT WILL RECOGNIZE THAT IS ACTUALLY IN PARK SO I CAN TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND I AM TRYING TO TURN IT OFF.

MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT UNLOCK FOR HOURS THEN IT FINALLY DID AND RAN FOR A BIT. THEN WHEN STARTED AGAIN WOULD NOT N. THEN WENT TO BRI G IT IN AND NOTHING WORKED CORRECT. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS AT 0 AND IT WAS SCARY! THE WHOLE VEHICLE WOULD NOT WORK RIGHT AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN THEY SAID IT WAS A SIDE SENSOR MODULE AND IT WAS $735 TO REPLACE. MY CAR IS NOT THAT OLD. THEY SAID WETNESS COULD HAVE GOT TO IT. WE LIVE IN MIN EDITS. MANY CARS GET WET. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THEY SHARE SOPOSE TO BE COMING OUT WITH A RECALL AND NEW BOXES THAT COVER THESE SENSORS. I WILL BE EXPECTING TO BE REIMBURSED WHEN THIS BECOMES A RECALL WHICH IT DEFIANTLY NEEDS TO BE! I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS VEHICLE. THE PRICE OF MINE SHOULD BE ON THIS!

THE 2017 GMC ACADIA NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION CONTROL ASSEMBLY AND THE "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE. FOR REFERENCE THIS IS TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN "TSB 18-NA-297". SOMEBODY WILL EXIT THEIR VEHICLE THINKING THAT THEY ARE IN PARK, THE MESSAGE COMES UP AND THEY IGNORE IT AND GET RAN OVER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS A QUALITY ISSUE.

VEHICLE HAD MULTIPLE (MORE THAN 2) WARNING LIGHTS FLASHING ON AND OFF, WHILE RPM AND MPH NEEDLE WOULD FLUCTUATE SIMULTANEOUSLY. THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHILE IN THE DRIVEWAY AND ALSO WHILE IN MOTION. VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WITH ACCELERATOR PEDAL FULLY PRESSED, ESPECIALLY ON AN INCLINE. WHILE THIS WAS OCCURRING I HAD TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY AND TURN AROUND IN AN ADJACENT SUBDIVISION. I COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE WAY OF A CAR IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO GO FORWARD ON THE STREET DUE TO A SLIGHT INCLINE. IT WOULD ALSO JERK INTO GEAR WHEN MOVING FROM REVERSE AND DRIVE. HAD THIS HAPPENED IN A TRAFFIC INTERSECTION, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE. AFTER 6 MONTHS OF BEING 'FIXED' IT HAS STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A WEEK THIS TIME WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO FIX IT. THE LAST TIME IT WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR AROUND 10 DAYS.

WHEN PLACING VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURNING OFF IGNITION, THE MESSAGE APPEARS 'SHIFT TO PARK'. EVERYTHING IS STILL ON IN THE VEHICLE, LIGHTS RADIO ETC. SOMETIMES I CAN WIGGLE THE SHIFT CONTROLLER AND IT WILL DISAPPEAR OR SOMETIMES I HAVE TO TURN IGNITION BACK ON AND TRY AGAIN TO TURN OFF. SOMETIMES TAKES SEVERAL TIMES TO GET MESSAGE TO DISAPPEAR.

ATTEMPTED TO USE THE HORN FOR THE FIRST TIME AND DISCOVERED IT DIDNT WORK. WHEN I RETURNED HOME, I TRIED AGAIN AND NOTICED I HAD TO USE AND EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF FORCE TO.GET IT TO WORK. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT OTHER ISSUES AND THEY SAID THE HORN WORKED, JUST LIKE SIMILAR VEHICLES ON THE LOT. I EXPRESSED THE SAFETY CONCERNS I HAD, ESPECIALLY IF MY WIFE WOULD HAVE NEEDED TO USE THE HORN IN AN EMERGENCY, BUTH THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. VEHICLE'S MANUFACTURE WARRANT IS SET TO EXPIRE IN LESS THEN 4000 MILES.
