2018 GMC Acadia

I WENT TO PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK AND IT SHOWED ME A SHIFT TO PARK MESSAGE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TWICE TO GET IT FIXED. TODAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME IT'S STUCK ON DRIVE AND LEFT ME STRANDED IN THE PARKING LOT. I HAD TO PUT THE EMERGENCY BREAK ON, DISCONNECT MY BATTERY AND LEAVE MY CAR FOR IT TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER TOMORROW OR MONDAY.

VEHICLE ENGINE WAS RUNNING WHEN I CAME TO A STOP AND SHIFTED TO PARK. I RECEIVED AN ERROR INDICATING "ACTION REQUIRED - SHIFT TO PARK." I DID NOT LET OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAUSE I WAS UNSURE IF THE VEHICLE HAD ACTUALLY SHIFTED INTO PARK. WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL APPLIED, I ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND DRIVE, THEN SHIFT BACK TO PARK, AND RECEIVED THE SAME ERROR. WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE, I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, BUT THE ELECTRONICS WOULD NOT POWER OFF AND THE ERROR CONTINUOUSLY DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. I STARTED THE ENGINE AND REPEATED THIS PROCESS MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THE BRAKE PRESSED BEFORE CHANGING GEARS AGAIN, SHIFTING INTO PARK, THEN APPLYING THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. IT WAS ONLY THEN THAT I TURNED MY ENGINE OFF AGAIN, AND THE ERROR FINALLY NO LONGER DISPLAYED. SINCE THE ERROR WAS NO LONGER DISPLAYING, I COULD ONLY HOPE THAT MY VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY IN PARK, BUT FELT REASSURED THAT THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE WAS ENGAGED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS SAFETY CONCERN THAT SEEMS TO BE AFFECTING MANY OF THESE VEHICLES.

WE HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE GEAR SHIFT, SINCE THREE WEEKS AGO WE CAN'T TURN OFF THE ENGINE AS A NORMAL PROCEDURE BECAUSE THE SENSOR OF THE GEAR SHIFT DOESN'T DETECT THE SHIFT IS IN 'P' PARKING, WE CONTINUALLY RECEIVE A MESSAGE FROM THE SCREEN. 'PUT YOUR SHIFT IN 'P', BUT IN THIS PRECISE MOMENT THE SHIFT WAS IN PARKING MODE, SO WE CAN'T TURN OF THE ENGINE. WE RECEIVE A NOTIFICATION FROM THE MECHANICAL WORKSHOP THAT THE ISSUE COULD BE THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS, BUT THEY DOESN'T GIVE US WHEN COULD BE CHANGED, SO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE MORE THAN TWO WEEKS WITHOUT USE THE VEHICLE, THEY DO NOT RECEIVE A OFFICIAL FEEDBACK FOR THE PLANT YET.

AFTER SHIFTING MY ACADIA INTO PARK AND SHUTTING IT OFF, "SHIFT TO PARK" WARNING COMES US SOUNDING AN ALARM THAT WON'T GO OFF UNLESS I START THE CAR AND SHIFT IN AND OUT OF PARK SEVERAL TIMES. IT GETS HARDER TO GET THE WARNING TO GO AWAY EACH TIME I DRIVE IT. I HAVE HAD TO RESULT TO NOT DRIVING IT TO AVOID THE BATTERY DRAINING OR HAVING TO UNHOOK THE BATTERY. THE CAR ONLY HAS 19000 MILES SO THE DEALER IS WILLING TO REPLACE IT BUT THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. ALSO, OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED THAT THE PROBLEM RETURNS EVEN AFTER THE REPAIR.

SHIFT TO PARK 2018 GMC ACADIA AWD ERROR MESSAGE SAYING VEHICLE ISN'T IN PARK; MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO MOVE SHIFT LEVER, TURN OFF AND ON, ETC FAIL TO TURN OFF THE ERROR MESSAGE SO THE CAR WILL COMPLETELY TURN OFF. CAR TURNS OFF BUT THE ALARM KEEPS BEEPING SAYING IT'S NOT IN PARK. VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR OVER 2 WEEKS WITH NO, ZERO, DATE OF REPLACEMENT TO ARRIVE. VEHICLE IS OWNED (NO FIANCING, NO LEASE). PAID FOR A $50K VEHICLE THAT I CAN'T DRIVE. NOT SAFE, NOT USEABLE.

SHIFT TO PARK NOTICE. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN OFF VEHICLE AND SHIFTED INTO PARK, VEHICLE WILL GIVE A WARNING THAT VEHICLE IS NOT IN PARK. AT THIS POINT I HAVE NO IDEA IF THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK OR NOT. NOT SURE IF I AM JUST RECEIVING A FAULTY NOTICE OR IS THE VEHICLE NOT IN PARK AND COULD ROLL CAUSING INJURY! THIS IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE. GMC UNABLE TO REPAIR DUE TO NOT HAVING THE PART AVAILABLE. THIS MAY HAPPEN FOR TWO OR THREE TIMES. IT HAS HAPPENED THAT I HAVE HAD TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON UP TO SEVEN TIMES BEFORE IT REGISTERED AS IN PARK.

WHEN PUSHING VEHICLE IGNITION BUTTON "START/STOP" TO TURN VEHICLE "OFF" IT WILL TURN THE ENGINE OFF BUT KEEP THE VEHICLE STILL "ON" USING THE BATTERY. IF I OPEN THE DOOR AND SHUT IT, THE HORN HONKS TO ALERT THAT THE VEHICLE IS STILL "ON" AND NOT COMPLETELY STOPPED. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE IGNITION BUTTON TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE VEHICLE IS OFF IS BY JERKING THE GEAR SHIFT UNTIL THE GREEN LIGHT GOES TO "OFF". IT DOES NOT DO IT EVERY TIME I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, BUT IT DOES IT ABOUT EVERY OTHER TIME. I WILL TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP VERY SOON FOR THEM TO LOOK AT THIS ALSO.

FRONT TIRES HAVE STARTED COMING APART; SUCH AS, TEARING OR RIPPED TREAD. SIMILAR TO LOOKING LIKE THEY WERE "GOUGED" WITH SOMETHING. TIRES ARE ROTATED WITH EACH OIL CHANGE ON A REGULAR BASIS. PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW WITH 440 MILES, AND CURRENTLY HAVE 33,XXX MILES ON THESE TIRES. JUST RECENTLY NOTICED THIS ON THE 2 FRONT TIRES, SO DATE "HAPPENED" IS DATE IT WAS FIRST NOTICED. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY KIND OF ACCIDENT, OR OFF ROAD, OR DRIVEN RECKLESSLY.
