Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2017 ACADIA. WHEN THE CAR IS SHIFTED INTO PARK, THE DASHBOARD SHOWS A WARNING THAT THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK! IT SAYS I CAN'T TURN OFF THE CAR UNTIL THE CAR IS IN PARK, EVEN THOUGH IT'S IN PARK. AFTER SPEAKING TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT MY DEALERSHIP, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND THEY BOUGHT IN EXTRA PARTS TO REPAIR THE CARS THAT COME IN. THIS FIRST HAPPENED 6 MONTHS AGO BUT ONLY OCCURED ONE TIME, NOW IT IS CONSISTANT AND I AM ONLY 700 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY SO I AM STUCK PAYING FOR IT OUT OF POCKET. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM.
