2019 GMC Acadia

AFTER PLACING MY CAR IN PARK, AND TRYING TO CUT OFF THE ENGINE, IT ALERTS ME TO "SHIFT TO PARK" ... I WILL HAVE TO RESTART MY ENGINE, PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK TO PARK, AND TRY AGAIN TO SHUT OFF THE CAR. SOMETIMES IT WORKS ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT, BUT USUALLY TAKES 3-4 TIMES OF CUTTING ENGINE OFF AND ON, SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE TO PARK AGAIN. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, THE HORN WILL START TO HONK, AND ALARM GOES OFF. THE CAR IS CLEARLY IN PARK, THE SHIFTER CAN NOT MOVE FORWARD ANY FURTHER, AND THE INDICATOR SAYS ITS IN "PARK" IT IS ONLY AFTER YOU PRESS THE START/STOP BUTTON THAT THE ALARM INDICATES IT NEEDS TO BE "SHIFTED INTO PARK"

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT INTERMITTENTLY UPON PLACING THE GEAR SHIFTER INTO THE PARKING POSITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED RECOGNIZE THE MANEUVER. DUE TO THE DEFECT, THE SHIFT TO PARK WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON ONE OCCASION, THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED TO ROLL FORWARD WITH THE GEAR SHIFTER IN THE PARK POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE INSPECTED OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000.

FIRST TIME BACK IN JUNE 10TH, 2020, I TOOK IT IN BECAUSE OF "REMOTE NOT DETECTED" THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, FEW HOURS LATER, SAME DAY AFTER I PICKED THE CAR UP IT WENT HAYWIRE WHILE PARKED. IT THREW ITSELF INTO THEFT MODE, WOULD NOT LET US MANUALLY LOCK THE CAR, ELECTRICAL WAS STILL ON BUT ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF, ALARM, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, AND LIGHTS WAS GOING OFF WHILE I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS TIME THEY'VE TOLD ME, THE A/C CONDENSATION FRIED THE CPU MODULE BECAUSE THE ONLY THING KEEPING WATER OUT OF THE CPU WAS A TRAY. SEPTEMBER 9TH, 2020 I TAKE IT BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE AGAIN THE CAR KEPT READING "NO REMOTE DETECTED". THEY CLAIMED IT WAS MY "DASH CAM" THAT CAUSED THE ISSUE. OCTOBER 14TH, 2020 THE CAR AGAIN WENT HAYWIRE WHILE IN MOTION. THIS TIME IT THREW ITSELF INTO THEFT MODE, ALARM WENT OFF, WIPERS, WAS READING LOW FUEL (FULL TANK) STEERING ASSIST TURNED ON AND OFF, BRAKES STARTED LOCKING MID BUSY STREET, STEERING WHEEL TIGHTENED ALSO. I BARELY COULD TURN IT INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET TO GET OFF THE ROAD. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN, THROUGH MY TRIPLE A PLAN FOR THE SECOND TIME BECAUSE I WAS "OUT OF THE AREA" THAT THEY COULD SEND A TOW TRUCK TO. THEY TELL ME AGAIN CONDENSATION GOT INTO THE CPU AND WASN'T EVEN SURE IF IT'LL HAPPEN AGAIN IF I CONTINUE TO RUN THE A/C. I PICKED THE CAR UP THE NEXT WEEK AND ON OCTOBER 25TH, 2020 THE CAR AGAIN WOULD NOT READ THE KEYS. EVERY INCIDENT BUT OCTOBER 25TH, 2020 INCIDENT, I HAVE LET A SUPERVISOR FROM GM KNOW OF THE SITUATION, HIS NAME IS [XXX] EXT. I HAVE RECORDED EVEN PHONE RECORDS OF EVERY INCIDENT THAT'S OCCURRED.
