Consumer Description

TURNED OFF VEHICLE WHEN ARRIVED HOME. OPENED THE DOOR AND REALIZED CAR WAS STILL RUNNING, KEYS WERE IN MY HAND. PUT KEY BACK IN IGNITION AND JIGGLED, NOTHING HAPPENED, CAR STILL RUNNING. TURNED KEY TO MIDDLE AND THEN TO START, TURNED OFF AGAIN AND CAR FINALLY SHUT OFF. I TRIED TO START AGAIN TO SEE IF HAPPENED AND THE YELLOW LIGHT (MALFUNCTION LIGHT) CAME ON. THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO SHUT OFF THE CAR. CALLED DEALER TO SCHEDULE SERVICE FOR THIS ISSUE AND RECALL 14030 THAT I JUST RECEIVED IN THE MAIL, THEY CAN'T GET ME IN UNTIL JULY 11TH. A FEW HOURS LATER I WENT OUT TO CAR TO PUT ACADIA MANUAL AND GROCERY BAGS BACK IN VEHICLE, UNABLE TO UNLOCK BACK DOOR WITH REMOTE. TRIED TO START CAR BUT NOTHING HAPPENS EXCEPT CLICKING NOISE AND THE YELLOW MALFUNCTION LIGHT COMES ON. ODOMETER READING ABOVE IS ESTIMATE BECAUSE THE CAR IS DEAD, UNABLE TO VIEW ACTUAL ODOMETER READING. *TR
