Consumer Description

MY ACADIA ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE WON'T GO ANYWHERE. ACADIA DOORS KEEP UNLOCKING AND LOCKING WAS AT MY HOUSE IN DRIVEWAY. ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF EVERYTHING IS FINE. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT'S THE TRANSMISSION MODULE MAKING CAR THINK IT'S IN PARK BUT CAN'T FIX IT UNLESS MY ENGINE LIGHT IS ON WHEN I GET IT TO THEM. QUESTION FROM ME IS IF IT'S THINKING IT'S IN PARK WHAT IF I'M DRIVING 55 AND IT THINKS IT'S IN PARK I'LL WRECK. I FEEL MY FAMILY IS DRIVING IN A DANGEROUS VEHICLE THAT THE DEALERSHIP KNOWS WHAT'S WRONG AND WHERE THE PROBLEM RESIDES BUT WON'T FIX BECAUSE MY ENGINE LIGHT ISN'T ON. THAT DOESN'T MAKE A BIT OF SENSE TO ME
