NHTSA Complaint #11330189 — 2018 GMC ACADIA

THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF WHEN PUT IN PARK WHEN THE CAR WAS STOPPED. THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OFF, BUT THE ELECTRICAL DEVICES (LIGHTS, RADIO, ODOMETER READINGS, ETC.) WOULD REMAIN ENGAGED. THE WARNING INDICATOR SAID THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN PARK AND IT WOULD TAKE 5-10 MINUTES OF TURNING THE ENGINE ON AND OFF, AND SHIFTING BACK AND FORTH IN AND OUT OF GEAR BEFORE THE CAR WOULD TURN OFF COMPLETELY. A SEARCH ON LINE INDICATED SEVERAL PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. THIS CAR IS 2 YRS OLD WITH LESS THAN 40K MILES. IT WAS MAINTAINED AS A COMPANY LEASED VEHICLE BY US BEFORE BEING PURCHASED BY US, SO WE KNOW IT HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED. WE ENDED UP HAVING TO HAVE THE SHIFT COLUMN REPLACED. *TR
