Consumer Description

SHIFT TO PARK NOTICE. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN OFF VEHICLE AND SHIFTED INTO PARK, VEHICLE WILL GIVE A WARNING THAT VEHICLE IS NOT IN PARK. AT THIS POINT I HAVE NO IDEA IF THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK OR NOT. NOT SURE IF I AM JUST RECEIVING A FAULTY NOTICE OR IS THE VEHICLE NOT IN PARK AND COULD ROLL CAUSING INJURY! THIS IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE. GMC UNABLE TO REPAIR DUE TO NOT HAVING THE PART AVAILABLE. THIS MAY HAPPEN FOR TWO OR THREE TIMES. IT HAS HAPPENED THAT I HAVE HAD TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON UP TO SEVEN TIMES BEFORE IT REGISTERED AS IN PARK.
