About five months ago, my GMC Acadia started displaying a warning when I would put the car in park, and try to turn it off. The engine would shut off, but the electrical portion of the car would stay on, and would not turn off, because the warning displaying said "SHIFT TO PARK".

About five months ago, my GMC Acadia started displaying a warning when I would put the car in park, and try to turn it off. The engine would shut off, but the electrical portion of the car would stay on, and would not turn off, because the warning displaying said "SHIFT TO PARK". I have tried every conceivable way to try to get this to go off, but nothing works. My car has stay on for upwards of two and a half hours, to the point where my battery died in the car and left me stranded. There have been numerous accounts of this, as I had read them on forums, yet still no resolution has been published. I have tried taking it to be inspected, but nothing ever comes up. I have two very small children, and if I were to be in public and be stranded because my car wouldn't turn off.... I would be livid.. Also, because of this warning, it prevents the doors from being locked. That is another major concern for me, considering the day in age we're in.

Constant issue of doors not locking or unlocking with key fob. Doors do not lock when put in drive or unlock when put in park. Buttons on the door to lock/unlock do not work. Have had at the dealership 4 times and still the issue hasn't been fixed. They replaced BCM and Harness and the issue still comes and goes.

"Steering Assist reduced drive with care" displayed on screen when I was driving. The temp gauge stayed on C, the a/c did not work and engine fan came on full blast. After a couple days of this, it went back to normal. Coolant was checked and full at correct level.

2019 Acadia will be shifted into park and parking break applied. Vehicle will then be turned off. When opening the door a message appears on the dash stating "Place vehicle into Park". It takes multiple times of turning on the car, Shifting into another gear, then shifting back to park for the vehicle to realize it is in Park to allow vehicle to shut off. It has happened multiple times. We then received an email from on-star there is a diagnostic code SAC001 (Battery Service) needs to be addressed. This is unacceptable for a vehicle to be this new and have electrical issues.

Once vehicle is in park and ignition is shut off, a message will show to "shift in park" when it is in park. When this message appears, it takes several times to shift the car back and forth in order for it to register that it is in park. This occurs occasionally...sometimes more frequent than other times.

Once vehicle is in park and ignition is shut off, a message will show to "shift in park" when it is in park. When this message appears, it takes several times to shift the car back and forth in order for it to register that it is in park. This occurs occasionally...sometimes more frequent than other times. It just did it today and it hadn't done it in a couple of weeks. The vehicle will not turn completely off or lock until you can get the stick to register it is in park. Sometimes it takes me a second to get the message to go away, other times it takes several mins. Really aggravating! These models are not cheap. This has occurred for well over a year now. I purchased the car November 2019.

After shifting the car into Park and pressing the start button to stop the engine, the message "Shift to Park" appears, and the engine does not shut off. This issue happens intermittently, but it has sometimes taken several minutes of shifting and re-shifting to get the car to turn off.
