2017 GMC ACADIA Electrical System Problems

THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAD WAS THE SHIFT. I GOT IT FIXED. I HAVE IT ALL DOCUMENTED. NOW FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS MY CAR HAS FLASHED EVERY WARNING LIGHT POSSIBLE. I TOOK IT IN THE FIRST TIME AND WAS TOLD THE CODES DID NOT STORE AND TO KEEP DRIVING IT. I FINALLY GOT A VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM HAPPENING AND DROPPED IT OFF FOR A SECOND TIME. DURING THE PROBLEM ALL GAUGES GO TO ZERO AND THE GEAR SYMBOL DISAPPEARS. THE LAST TIME I DROVE THE CAR IT ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND I DID NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF AND REPORTS ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY 'SHIFT TO PARK' EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFTER IS IN PARK. TRUCK WILL ROLL WHEN IT SHOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE. ALSO, UNLESS YOU CAN GET IT TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOU'RE IN PARK, HEADLIGHTS AND ALL ACCESSORIES STAY ON. AN ALARM SOUNDS IF YOU LEAVE THE VEHICLE. IT'S A MESS AND ALTHOUGH GMC KNEW ABOUT THE ISSUE IN MID 2018, REFUSES TO FIX IT WITHOUT PAYMENT. THIS SHOULD BE A MANDATORY RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE IGNITION FAILED TO TURN OFF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE RAN ON FOR 20 TO 30 MINUTES. KING O'ROURKE BUICK GMC LOCATED AT (756 SMITHTOWN BYPASS #102, SMITHTOWN, NY 1178, (631)482-7312, CONFIRMED THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE CONTACT WAS LATER INFORMED THAT THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND THAT THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COSTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.*DT*JB

MY VEHICLE IS RECEIVING A "SHIFT TO PARK" ERROR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PLACED IN PARK. THE SYSTEM DOES NOT REGISTER PARK, THEREFORE DOESN'T SHUT OFF AND CAN'T BE LOCKED OR VACATED. IT TAKES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO GET IT INTO PARK. THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE IN GM SERVICE BULLETIN 18-NA-297 BUT GMC HAS NOT RECALLED THIS DANGEROUS SHIFTER AND MY VEHICLE IS FAULTY.

WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO PARK. WAS ABLE TO SHUT OFF ENGINE BUT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. DEALER HAD TO REPLACE FLOOR SHIFTER AND ELECTRICAL HARNESS.

WHEN PARKING VEHICLE AFTER PLACING VEHICLE IN PARK AND PUSHING IGNITION OFF DASH WARNS SHIFT TO PARK AND VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OFF COMPLETELY. MUST RESTART VEHICLE SHIFT TO A DIFFERENT GEAR THEN SHIFT BACK TO PARK AND TURN VEHICLE OFF AGAIN.

SUNROOF WON'T OPEN, EVERY TIME I TRY TO OPEN THE SUNROOF IT MAKES A LOUD POPPING SOUND. WHEN I TRY TO TILT THE ROOF ONE SIDE GOES UP AND THE OTHER SIDE STAYS FLAT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED WITH THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER IN THE PARK POSITION, THE SHIFT TO PARK WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT WAS THEN UNABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF WHILE THE WARNING LIGHT WAS DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JIM FALK MOTORS OF MAUI LOCATED AT (260 HANA HWY #1, KAHULUI, HI 96732), WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SOUND WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO SAME DEALER TO BE INSPECTED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE LUG NUTS ON THE FRONT AND REAR WHEELS WERE IMPROPERLY INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. A CASE WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

SHIFT TO PARK WARNING LIGHT TURNS ON WHEN CAR IS IN PARK. HEADLIGHTS STAY ON.

WITH MY VEHICLE STATIONARY AND SHIFTER IN THE PARK POSITION, I TURN MY CAR OFF AND THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF BUT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SAYS "ACTION REQUIRED - SHIFT TO PARK". THIS MESSAGE ALSO DOES NOT ALLOW THE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS TO TURN OFF AND IF THE LIGHTS DON'T TURN OFF THE BATTERY DRAINS IF PARKED FOR LONG STRETCHES. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR ON/OFF SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT ENGAGES AND THE MESSAGE DISAPPEARS.

VEHICLE DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE IN PARK AND WILL NOT TURN THE VEHICLE OFF COMPLETELY. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, BUT LIGHTS AND EVERYTHING ELSE STAYS ON. IF YOU EXIT THE VEHICLE IT BEEPS AND THE HORN HONKS.

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD ONGOING ISSUES SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED IN JUNE OF 2017. THE 'SHIFT TO PARK' PROBLEM HAD TO BE FIXED TWICE, THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGES ITSELF FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS, THE HORN DOES NOT WORK WHEN NEEDED IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS, THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM IT'S DANGEROUS, THE BATTERY HAS DRAINED AND LEFT MY WIFE STRANDED 4 TIMES, AND THE VEHICLE HAS A VERY ROUGH IDLE AND IT ALMOST STALLS OUT. I ATTEMPTED TO WORK WITH GM TO HAVE THEM TAKE THE CAR BACK EARLY (LEASE) AND THE REQUEST WAS RECENTLY DENIED. THIS IS MY 3RD ACADIA AND IT BY FAR IS THE MOST DANGEROUS CAR I HAVE EVER DRIVEN. I AM NOW READING ABOUT A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM THAT COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO CATCH ON FIRE, A DRIVESHAFT THAT MAY SEPARATE WHILE DRIVING, AND A FAULTY BRAKING SYSTEM...

WHEN I PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF, MY SHIFT TO PARK MESSAGE COMES ACROSS AND I HAVE TO TURN MY VEHICLE BACK ON AND MOVE THE GEAR FROM PARK TO SOMETHING ELSE AND BACK TO PARK. SOMETIMES THIS HAS TO BE DONE A FEW TIMES BEFORE IT WILL COMPLETELY TURN OFF.

BATTERY DIED, HAD TO HAVE REPLACED. CAR WAS APPROXIMATELY AT 2 YEAR MARK WHEN IT DIED.

THE VEHICLE STATES TO 'SHIFT TO PARK' BUT THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK ALREADY. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OFF AND KEEPS THE BATTERY RUNNING. I MUST START UP THE CAR AND SHIFT IT TO DRIVE, THEN PACK TO PARK MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE THE CAR RECOGNIZES IT IS IN PARK. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME, BUT THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES TO TURN ON AND OFF TO REACH 'PARK' IS RANDOM.

"SHIFT TO PARK" ALERT APPEARS WHEN CAR IS IN "PARK" AND ATTEMPTING TO SHUT ENGINE OFF. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STAYS ON WITH BELL CHIMING UNTIL I CAN RESTART CAR AND RE-SHIFT AGAIN INTO "PARK". THIS MAY HAVE TO BE DONE MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE ALERT NO LONGER APPEARS. DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SHUT OFF ENGINE, BUT WHEN IT DOES USUALLY REQUIRES MULTIPLE RESTARTING/RE-SHIFTING TO GET ALERT TURNED OFF.

WHEN I SHIFT THE CAR TO PARK AND TURN IT OFF, I GET A WARNING ON THE DASH THAT INSTRUCTS ME TO "SHIFT TO PARK" EVEN THOUGH I ALREADY HAVE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OFF, AND AS A RESULT I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR ON AND OFF SHIFTING REPEATEDLY UP TO 20 TIMES TO FINALLY GET THE CAR TO RECOGNIZE IT'S IN PARK. THE VEHICLE IS TOTALLY UNSAFE AS IT WILL NOT STAY IN PARK!

WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK I GET A WARNING THAT SAYS MY CAR IS NOT IN PARK ACTION REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE BELL CONTINUES TO DING AND WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO LOCK THE CAR. MY FEAR IS GETTING OUT THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTING TO ROLL NOT KNOWING IF THE VEHICLE IS ACTUALLY IN PARK. THIS IS VERY SCARY NOT KNOWING IF IT IS SAFE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE.

I GET A 'SHIFT TO PARK' NOTIFICATION WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TRY TO TURN IT OFF. I'M CONFIDENT MY CAR IS IN PARK AS IT DOESN'T MOVE WHEN I RELEASE THE BRAKE, I HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR, PUT IT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE, THEN SHIFT INTO PARK AGAIN. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO DO THIS 5 TIMES BEFORE I'M ABLE TO TURN OFF MY CAR.

WHEN THE CAR IS INTENTIONALLY STOPPED AND SHIFTED INTO PARK, THE DASHBOARD SHOWS A WARNING THAT THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK. IT REQUIRES MOVING THE GEAR SHIFT IN AND OUT OF DRIVE UNTIL THE ELECTRONICS RECOGNIZE THE CAR IS IN PARK. UNTIL THEN, ALL THE CAR ELECTRONICS REMAIN ACTIVE. WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED AN ALARM SOUNDS BECAUSE THE ELECTRONICS THINKS THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK. THE GMC DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT CLAIMS THE PARTS NEEDED TO FIX IT ARE UNAVAILABLE. THIS FIRST HAPPENED OVER A YEAR AGO, BUT THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM. IT HAS STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN, AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM, BUT CLAIMS THE PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE.

AFTER 2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP OF A NEW GMC ACADIA MY SUV WOULD NOT SHUT OFF ONCE I PARKED MY CAR. IT WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DETECT THAT I SHIFTED INTO PARK AFTER ARRIVING AT MY DESTINATION. ALL THE ELECTRONICS WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN. I WOULD HAVE HAVE TO STAY IN THE CAR AND PLAY WITH THE SHIFTER UNTIL THE COMPUTER FINALLY READ THAT IT WAS IN PARK. AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THE SUV WAS FIXED WITH AN NEW PART THAT SEEMS TO HAVE RESOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR NOW BUT AS FAR AS I AM AWARE GMC IS STILL DOESN'T KNOW WHY THE PROBLEM IS BEING CAUSED SO I AM WAITING TO SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. AFTER GETTING IT FIXED NOW MY VEHICLE GIVES ME ANOTHER WARNING EVERY TIME MY "AUTO ENGINE OFF" IS ACTIVATED AT WHEN I COME TO A STOP. NOW I CONTINUOUSLY...

"SHIFT TO PARK" ISSUE AS DESCRIBED BY OTHERS. GM DEALER SAYS IT NEEDS TO REPLACE A $20.00 HARNESS + LABOR OF OVER $200.00. "SERVICE PARKING BRAKE" ISSUE THAT RANDOMLY PRESENTED ITSELF ONE DAY. I WAS UNABLE TO USE THE PARKING BRAKE. GM DEALER HAD TO "UPGRADE" MY EBCM FOR A WHOPPING $200.00. HOW DOES GM THINK THE CONSUMER SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS. THEY HAVE A MONOPOLY BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN FIX THIS!

WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO PARK, AN ERROR IS DISPLAYED STATING TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK, EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFTER IS IN P. IN ORDER TO GET THIS MESSAGE TO GO AWAY, I HAVE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER UP AND DOWN MULTIPLE TIMES. COULD TAKE UP TO 20 MIN TO GET THE ERROR TO GO AWAY. I CAN NOT LEAVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE ERROR IS OFF BECAUSE THE LIGHTS STAY ON AND WILL DRAIN THE BATTERY. I ALSO NOTICE THAT THE VEHICLE ROLLS A LITTLE MORE AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO GET ERROR MESSAGE OFF. THIS IS CONCERNING THAT IT MAY NOT REALIZE ITS IN PARK AND ROLL INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH OR ROLL AWAY. I TOOK TO MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A 'KNOWN' ISSUE AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, NOR IS THERE A RECALL. I JUST PAID OUT OF POCKET FOR...

WHEN SHIFTING THE VEHICLE TO PARK AND THEN SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE, I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE 'ACTION REQUIRED- SHIFT TO PARK'. THE VEHICLE IS ALREADY IN PARK! I'VE HAD TO JIGGLE THE SHIFTER, PRESS THE BRAKE WHILE JIGGLING THE SHIFTER, RESTART THE VEHICLE PUT IN REVERSE, THEN BACK IN PARK, AND JIGGLE SOME MORE. THE RADIO AND LIGHTS (BOTH INTERIOR & EXTERIOR) WILL NOT POWER OFF AND THE DOOR CHIMES NONSTOP. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND IT HAS BEEN A LITTLE OVER A MONTH SINCE THE LAST INCIDENT WHICH OCCURRED TWO DAYS AFTER I HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY BECAUSE I MISSED THE ERROR MESSAGE HEADING IN TO WORK. THE LAST 2 DAYS MY HUSBAND HAS DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY BECAUSE NOTHING WILL WORK TO POWER OFF RADIO & LIGHTS. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY TWICE NOW IN A NEW VEHICLE LEASED IN 2016. THE FIRST TIME WAS DUE TO...

UPON SHIFTING THE CAR TO PARK AND SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE, THE CONSOLE SAYS, "SHIFT TO PARK". THE CAR APPEARS TO ROLL SOME. I HAVE NOT BEEN ON AN INCLINE TO SEE IF IT IS TRULY IN PARK OR NOT. IT WILL NOT ALLOW THE ELECTRONICS TO SHUT OFF AND WILL NOT LET YOU LOCK THE CAR SO THE CAR CANNOT BE LEFT WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY AND TODAY I HAD TO SHUT OFF AND START THE CAR AND DRIVE IT 10-15 TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD RECOGNIZE IT WAS ACTUALLY IN PARK.

UPON TURNING VEHICLE OFF, "SHIFT TO PARK!" ILLUMINATES ON THE CLUSTER. VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OFF UNTIL IT IS RE-STARTED, SHIFTED IN AND OUT OF GEAR. SOMETIMES THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE MULTIPLE TIMES. THERE HAS BEEN ONE INSTANCE THE ERROR WOULD NOT CLEAR, AND I WAS FORCED TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE ON, AS I WENT INTO A DOCTOR APPOINTMENT. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING, NOT TO MENTION THE WASTED FUEL WITH STARTING/STOPPING THE VEHICLE 5-10 TIMES EACH TIME I TURN IT OFF. I'VE TAKEN VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IT IS TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD HERE. RIDICULOUS.

SHIFTER KEEPS LOCKING. HAPPENED 4 TIMES WHERE SHIFTER HAD GOTTEN STUCK IN SHIFT AND UNABLE TO CONTROL CAR. GEAR ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES AND NOTHING IS WORKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF AND THE ENGINE RAN FOR HOURS. EVENTUALLY, THE INTERNAL SYSTEM RECOGNIZED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND FINALLY TURNED ITSELF OFF. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT DONE ANYTHING TO ADDRESS THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THEY ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 18-NA-297 ON DECEMBER 13, 2018. THE CONTACT CALLED NUMEROUS UNKNOWN DEALERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO TRY TO BUY THE PART MENTIONED IN THE SERVICE BULLETIN, BUT THE PART WAS STILL ON BACKORDER. THE PART THAT WAS NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER ASSEMBLY (NUMBER: 13528228). THE COST OF THE PART WAS LESS THAN $150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF ITS INITIAL WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,500. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. *TR

THE CAR WILL NOT RECOGNIZE OR SHIFT TO PARK.. THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF WHILE THE SHIFTER IS IN PARK THINKING THAT THE CAR ISN'T IN PARK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE YOU BELIEVE IT IS IN PARK WHEN THE CAR IS SAYING IT ISN'T AND WILL NOT CLEAR THE ALERT UNLESS YOU CONTINUOUSLY TURN THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF AND TOGGLE THE SHIFTER. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE ISSUE BEING REPORTED

OUR 2017 GMC ACADIA DENALI SAYS TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK BEFORE TURNING IT OFF WHEN THE CAR IS ALREADY IN PARK AND ENGINE OFF. ALL ELECTRONICS STAY ON AND WILL KILL THE BATTERY.

WHEN PARKING THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTING TO SHUT OFF, THE ACADIA GIVES THE MESSAGE "SHIFT TO PARK". THE VEHICLE IS CLEARLY IN PARK AND I MUST START THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND SHIFT TO REVERSE OR ANOTHER POSITION AND TURN OFF. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO LOCK THE VEHICLE AND KEEPS POWER TO THE VEHICLE (DRAINING THE BATTERY) UNTIL IT RECOGNIZES THAT IT IS INDEED IN PARK. THIS HAS CAUSED A STALL AND THE VEHICLE TO POSSIBLY STILL BE IN GEAR WHEN PARKED LEADING TO A ROLLING HAZARD. HAS TAKEN AS MANY AS 15 TIMES FOR THE VEHICLE TO REALIZE IT IS IN PARK. GENERAL MOTORS HAS ISSUED A TSB (18-NA-297) REGARDING THIS ISSUE, BUT IS PLACING THE COST OF THE FIX ON THE CONSUMER. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT HAS STARTED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

SHIFT TO PARK RECALL - THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. MY ACADIA WAS IN PARK AND I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND I GOT AN ERROR CODE THAT SAID ACTION REQUIRED SHIFT TO PARK. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON PUT IT IN DRIVE AND BACK INTO PARK AND TURN THE CAR OFF THE STOP THE BEEPING. I SPOKE TO FLEMINGTON GMC AND THIS ISSUE IS NOT A RECALL. THIS MAKES NO SENSE TO ME THE ERROR CODE READS ACTION REQUIRED SHIFT TO PARK. WHICH CLEARLY MEANS THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK IF IT'S TELLING YOU TO SHIFT TO PARK WHEN YOU ALREADY PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF USING THE START STOP BUTTON. I AM STILL WAITING FOR A PHONE CALL FROM AMBER AT GMC AS I WAS SUPPOSE TO BE CALLED ON 9/3/19 REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

AT RANDOM TIMES, WHEN PARKING MY VEHICLE, AFTER PLACING IT IN 'PARK' AND SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF, THE DIC WARNS TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN 'PARK' EVEN WHEN THE SHIFT LEVER IS IN 'PARK'. I HAVE TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN, SHIFT THE VEHICLE FROM 'PARK TO 'DRIVE' AND THEN BACK TO 'PARK', SHUTCTHE VEHICLE OFF AND THE WARNING ON THE DLC GOES AWAY. THIS IS STARTING TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN, EVERY 3-5 START-STOP CYCLES.

GETTING A "SHIFT INTO PARK" MESSAGE WHEN THE CAR HAS ALREADY BEEN PUT INTO PARK. IT TAKES SEVERAL TIMES RESTARTING THE CAR AND MOVING THE SHIFT LEVER IN AND OUT OF PARK FOR IT TO RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS IN PARK.

KEEPS TELLING ME TO PUT VEHICLE IN PARK WHEN IT'S ALREADY IN PARK. ALSO NOT CONSISTENT ABOUT TELLING YOU TO CHECK BACK SEAT. SOMETIMES IT DOES AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. IT'S TURNED ON.

THE CAR WILL NOT RECOGNIZES IT IS IN PARK AND WILL NOT LET YOU SHUT IT OFF SOMETIMES. EVEN WORSE IT LETS YOU SHUT IT OFF BUT ISN'T ACTUALLY AL THE WAY OFF. SO THE BATTERY DIES. GM DEALER PUT NEW SHIFTER IN AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THEN THEY PUT A BOTHER NEW SENSOR IN AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 GMC ACADIA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR CONDITIONER SPONTANEOUSLY TURNED ON TO THE HIGH SETTING ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RAY SKILLMAN SOUTHSIDE BUICK GMC (8424 US-31, INDIANAPOLIS, IN 46227, (317) 497-0711) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING AS DESIGNED AND A BENEFICIAL FEATURE THAT WAS ACTIVATED WITH THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. *TR

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OFF. IT KEEPS STATING THAT IT IS NOT IN PARK. HAVE MOVED SHIFTER BETWEEN GEARS REPEATEDLY, THE DASH DISPLAY SAYS IT IS IN PARK, THE CONSOLE SAYS IT IS IN PARK, BUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON FLAT SURFACES, AND INCLINES. THE END RESULT IS A VEHICLE THAT THINKS IT IS ON, WONT LOCK DOORS, AND KILLS THE BATTERY DUE TO REMAINING IN THE ON POSITION.

I HAVE SEVERAL THINGS THAT HAS WENT WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE SINCE I HAD BOUGHT IT TWO MONTHS AFTER I GOT IT IT WAS IN THE SHOP SOMETIMES WHENEVER I PARKED IT WOULD NOT RESTART BRAKE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON I'VE HAD MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME SERVICE BRAKE LIGHT HAS CAME ON I'VE HAD THE MIDDLE SEAT BELT REPLACED TWICE NOTHING STUCK IN IT IT JUST WILL NOT LATCH IT IS BACK IN THE SHOP NOW WHENEVER I PUT IT IN PARK IT IS TELLING ME TO SHIFT IT INTO PARK I HAD MY CAR FOR TWO YEARS AND WITH IN THE TWO YEARS IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 15 TIMES SO MUCH FOR HAVING A NEW CAR AND IN JOYING IT

OUR 2017 GMC ACADIA DENALI IS EXPERIENCING "ACTION REQUIRED" "SHIFT TO PARK" ALERT ON THE DASH. THE INDICATOR ON THE DASH SHOWS THE CAR IS IN "P" FOR PARK AND THE SHIFTER IS PLACED INTO THE PARK POSITION. THE ONLY RESOLVE FOR THIS ERROR TO GO AWAY IS PUSHING BACK AND FORTH ON THE SHIFTER UNTIL FINALLY SOMETIMES UP TO TEN MINUTES, THE SYSTEM RECOGNIZED THAT THE CAR IS ACTUALLY IN PARK. IF YOU DO NOT SPEND THE TIME TO TRY AND MAKE THE SYSTEM RECOGNIZE THAT SHIFTER IS IN THE PARKED POSITION THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO TRY ALERT YOU WITH DINGING INSIDE THE CAR AND THEN HONKING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO WHICH HAS BEEN REPORTED BY SEVERAL PEOPLE UPON OUR INVESTIGATION AFTER EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM. THE PART TO WHICH IS NEEDED TO FIX THIS ISSUE IS CURRENTLY ON BACKORDER PER OUR LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP TO WHICH...

WHEN SHIFTING TO PARK AND SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF MESSAGE DISPLAYS SHIFT TO PARK. I HAVE HAD THE SHIFTER CABLE REPLACED AND 3 MONTHS LATER IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS ANOTHER ISSUE BUT GM CANNOT FIGURE THE ISSUE OUT.

SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM WARNING CAME ON LAST YEAR. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP SINCE I HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER PROBLEMS LIKE THIS. DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO FIX BECAUSE I HAD TAKEN A LIGHT HIT TO THE REAR FENDER AREA WHERE THE SENSOR IS ON 02/06/2016. FRIENDS TOLD ME THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES SO I LOOKED ONLINE AND WAS APPALLED AT THE COMPLAINTS! I AM RETIRED AND ON A FIXED INCOME AND CAN'T AFFORD THE $1,600 OR MORE RIGHT NOW. AS A SENIOR THIS WAS A REASON I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. NOW THAT IT DOES NOT WORK I HAVE TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL WITH BLIND SPOTS! THIS WARNING CAME ON AND FUNCTION STOPPED WORKING WHEN CAR WAS TURNED ON.

WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS IN PARK & I WAS GOING TO TURN IT OFF IT GAVE ME THIS MESSAGE ACTION TO PARK WHEN IN PARK. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP & NOTHING CAN BE DONE.

I GOT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2016 IT HAS APPROX43000 MILES ON IT. LAST TUESDAY IT WOULD NOT START NOTHING WORKED TOWED TO THE GMX DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS A MAP LIGHT!!!! AND IT RAN THE BATTERY DOWN WELL TODAY IT DID THE SAME THING I DO NOT BELIEVE IT WAS THE BATTERY THE SAME DAY IT WENT OUT I RECEIVED A APPLICAION DOWNLOAD, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT WAS. I PAID ALOT OF MONEY FOR THIS VWHICLE AND I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE THIS PROBLEM CAUSES DEATH ' THE VEHICLE IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP-I CALLED TO REORT THIS PROBLEN TO GMC THE FIRST EVENING NOTING WAS DONE EITHER, CALLED GMC RO TOE DIDNT EVEN SHOW UP

DASH DISPLAYS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT IN PARK WHEN IT IS FOR SURE.

WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THE CARS BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING UP WHEN SOMETHING TRIGGERS THE COLLISION SAFETY BREAK. SPECIFICALLY WHEN CROSSING RAIL ROAD TRACKS AFTER A TRAIN HAS PAST. AS A RESULT THE CAR STOPS COMPLETELY AND AUTOMATICALLY WHILE ON RAILROAD TRACKS AND WON'T ALLOW YOU TO MOVE. YOU HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, WAIT (ON RAILRAOD TRACKS) AND THEN ATTEMPT TO MOVE BUT IT MAY ACTIVATE IT AGAIN SO YOU HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN. MEANWHILE YOU ARE ON TRACKS, WITH CARS BEHIND YOU HONKING AND SCREAMING. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, REPORTED IT TO OUR DEALER, SERVICE AND GMC CORPORATE WHERE NOTHING WAS DONE. THEY SAID THEY WOULD PUT IN A "BLACK BOX" LIKE DEVICE BUT NEVER DID. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY AND ONE THAT GMC IS NOT ADDRESSING ADAQUATELY.

MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT UNLOCK FOR HOURS THEN IT FINALLY DID AND RAN FOR A BIT. THEN WHEN STARTED AGAIN WOULD NOT N. THEN WENT TO BRI G IT IN AND NOTHING WORKED CORRECT. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS AT 0 AND IT WAS SCARY! THE WHOLE VEHICLE WOULD NOT WORK RIGHT AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN THEY SAID IT WAS A SIDE SENSOR MODULE AND IT WAS $735 TO REPLACE. MY CAR IS NOT THAT OLD. THEY SAID WETNESS COULD HAVE GOT TO IT. WE LIVE IN MIN EDITS. MANY CARS GET WET. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THEY SHARE SOPOSE TO BE COMING OUT WITH A RECALL AND NEW BOXES THAT COVER THESE SENSORS. I WILL BE EXPECTING TO BE REIMBURSED WHEN THIS BECOMES A RECALL WHICH IT DEFIANTLY NEEDS TO BE! I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS VEHICLE. THE PRICE OF MINE SHOULD...

VEHICLE HAD MULTIPLE (MORE THAN 2) WARNING LIGHTS FLASHING ON AND OFF, WHILE RPM AND MPH NEEDLE WOULD FLUCTUATE SIMULTANEOUSLY. THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHILE IN THE DRIVEWAY AND ALSO WHILE IN MOTION. VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WITH ACCELERATOR PEDAL FULLY PRESSED, ESPECIALLY ON AN INCLINE. WHILE THIS WAS OCCURRING I HAD TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY AND TURN AROUND IN AN ADJACENT SUBDIVISION. I COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE WAY OF A CAR IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO GO FORWARD ON THE STREET DUE TO A SLIGHT INCLINE. IT WOULD ALSO JERK INTO GEAR WHEN MOVING FROM REVERSE AND DRIVE. HAD THIS HAPPENED IN A TRAFFIC INTERSECTION, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE. AFTER 6 MONTHS OF BEING 'FIXED' IT HAS STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A WEEK THIS TIME WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO FIX IT. THE LAST TIME...

WHEN CAR IS PUT INTO PARK A 'ACTION REQUIRED' COMES UP SAYING 'SHIFT INTO GESR' WHICH THE VEHICLE IS ALREADY IN PARK. THEREFORE, WILL NOT SHUT OFF CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN AND DIE.

SHIFT TO PARK ERROR MESSAGE WHEN GEAR SHIFT IS IN PARK AND VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. THE AUXILIARY POWER STAYS ON (RADIO AND USB) AND WILL NOT LET ME LOCK THE DOORS. THIS HAPPENS NEARLY EVERY DAY. MUST RESTART THE VEHICLE AND PUT INTO GEAR THEN INTO PARK MULTIPLE TIMES.
