Consumer Description

TOOK OUR ACADIA IN ON 9/25 AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS (STARTED THE WEEK OF 8/26) OF THE SHIFT TO PARK INDICATOR LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. THE DEALERSHIP HAD IT FOR SEVERAL WEEKS (P/U 10/16) BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T GET THE PARTS DUE TO THE GM STRIKE. WE HAVE HAD IT BACK THREE WEEKS AND IT HAS BEGUN AGAIN WITH THE SHIFT TO PARK LIGHT. WE KEEP THE PARKING BREAK ON JUST IN CASE, DON'T TRUST IT. HAVE ANOTHER SERVICE APPOINTMENT ON 11/15. WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
