NHTSA Complaint #11286763 — 2017 GMC ACADIA

WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRY TO SHUT OFF MY CAR, IT BEEPS AND TELLS ME THAT I HAVE TO SHIFT MY CAR INTO PARK. (ALTHOUGH MY CAR IS ALREADY PHYSICALLY IN PARK)THIS TAKES ME, AT TIMES, SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. SOMETIMES I CAN WIGGLE THE SHIFTER, OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND ON AND SWITCH I TO DRIVE AND REVERSE SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT LETS ME SHUT OFF MY CAR PROPERLY SO I CAN EXIT. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR SEVERAL WEEKS AGO AND IT JUST STARTED. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM STOPPED AND TRYING TO EXIT MY CAR. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE TRYING TO GO INTO WORK (IT MADE ME LATE!), WHEN I WAS OUT OF TOWN (4 ATTEMPTS JUST TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT!). ONE OF THESE TIMES I'M GOING TO LITERALLY BE STUCK TRYING TO GET MY CAR SHUT OFF. MY CONCERN IS THAT ALTHOUGH MY CAR IS PARKED, IT MAY NOT ACTUALLY BE "LOCKED" INTO PARK AND COULD POSSIBLY STILL BE IN NEUTRAL.
