2017 GMC ACADIA Power Train Problems

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.

SHIFT TO PARK PROBLEM, THE DEALER TRIED FIXING IT 3 TIMES NOW AND HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE WHEEL. WHEN SOMETIMES TURNING THE CAR. I CAN FEEL SOMETHING IS LIKE STOCK ON TGE WHEEL MAKING ME FEEL LIKE THE WHEEL IS GONNA GET OFF. I TRUED CONTACTING THE DEALER AND CHEVY OFFICE FOR A BUYBACK BUT THEY AREN'T APPROVING IT COS THEY SAID I DONT HAVE ENOUGH REASON FOR THEM TO APPROVE IT. EVEN THO I KEEP TELLING THEM I AM NOT GONNA WAIT FOR ANYTHING BAD TO HAPPEN SINCE I HAVE A 5 MONTH OLD BABY WITH ME. TGE OBLY THING THEY SUGGESTING IS HAVING IT CHECKED. AND THAT'S IT.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER IN THE PARK POSITION, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. ON ONE SUCH OCCASION IT TOOK 24 ATTEMPTS TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BERGSTROM BUICK GMC OF GREEN BAY 3330 LOCATED AT 301 N TAYLOR ST #101, GREEN BAY, WI 54304, (800) 721-1840, TO BE DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE ENTIRE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED HOWEVER; THE FAILURE RECURRED. A SECONDARY REPAIR WAS PERFORMED WITH THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY WIRING HARNESS BEING REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. *DT*JB

CAR GIVES A "ACTION REQUIRED, SHIFT TO PARK" AND DOES NOT TURN OFF ALTHOUGH YOU HAVE PUT THE CAR IN PARK. YOU HAVE TO PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE AND MOVE IT BACK TO PARK MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE IT SENSES IT IS IN PARK AND BEFORE IT WILL LET YOU TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENED IN A PARKING SPOT.

VEHICLE GIVES A SHIFT TO PARK WARNING EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK. VEHICLE CANNOT BE SHUT OFF AND REQUIRES MULTIPLE RESTARTS AND SHUT OFFS AND MOVING OF VEHICLE TO GET VEHICLE TO RECOGNIZE IT IS IN PARK AND TO SHUT OFF.

WHEN THE CAR IS SHIFTED FROM A DRIVING GEAR OR NEUTRAL INTO PARK, SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL NOT REGISTER THAT IT HAS ACTUALLY SHIFTED INTO PARK. A WARNING SHOWS UP ON THE DASH THAT SAYS "ACTION REQUIRED, SHIFT TO PARK" EVEN THOUGH IT IS IN PARK. THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF DURING THIS WARNING, SO YOU HAVE TO SHIFT IT BACK AND FORTH FROM DRIVE TO PARK UNTIL IT FINALLY REGISTERS PARK. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS THE NEXT TRY, SOMETIMES IT WILL TAKE 50. THERE HAVE BEEN TWO OCCASIONS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PARK ON A SLOPE THAT THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL, ONLY A FOOT OR TWO, BUT THEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AUTOMATICALLY TURNED ON THE BRING THE CAR TO A STOP. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND A FIX AT THIS TIME.

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...

VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT PROPERLY TO PARK WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF. THIS CAUSES THE PROBLEM OF MOVING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE.

2017 GMC ACADIA WOULD ISSUE A WARNING SAYING VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT TO PARK EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK. THIS VEHICLE DEFECT IS KNOWN BY GMC AND THEIR DEALERSHIPS. A LAWSUIT IS CURRENTLY PENDING REGARDING THIS ISSUE. GMC HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL AND HAS FAILED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP AUGUST 2018 DUE TO THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE STARTED AGAIN IN NOVEMBER 2019. WHEN WE CALLED ABOUT IT, THEY SAID THE PRIOR WORK WASN'T COVERED AND WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THE "KNOWN DEFECT" REPAIRED AGAIN.

WHEN THE SHIFTER IS PLACED INTO PARK THE SCREEN SHOWS "PLACE SHIFTER INTO PARK" THE RADIO STILL WORKS, SCREEN WILL NOT TURN OFF, AND THE CAR CANNOT BE LOCKED MAKING IT UNSAFE, EASY TO GET INTO OR STOLEN.

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.

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...

CAR CONTINUES TO TELL YOU TO SHIFT TO PARK AFTER IT HAS BEEN PLACED IN PARK. THE CAR WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO LOCK OR EXIT THE VEHICLE. TO REMEDY YOU MUST SHAKE THE GEAR SHIFT, OR WAIT A PERIOD OF TIME, START THE CAR, PLACE IN DRIVE AND SHIFT BACK TO START. SOMETIMES, YOU HAVE TO DO THIS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE CAR WILL REALIZE IT IS IN PARK.

SHIFT TO PARK WARNING COMES ON 3 TIMES IN 5 DAYS. CAR WON'T TURN ON OR OFF FOR SHORT PERIOD.

WHEN CAR IS PARKED. A MESSAGE POPS UP TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, EVEN THOUGH IT IS IN PARK. THIS PREVENTS ME FROM LOCKING MY DOORS! IT DINGS, HONKS, ETC BECAUSE MESSAGE WHEN OUT IN PARK MESSAGE IS ON!

UPON STOPPING VEHICLE AND SHIFTING IN TO PARK I GET A 'SHIFT TO PARK' NOTIFICATION ON THE DRIVERS' INFORMATION SCREEN ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK. SOMETIMES IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OF SHIFTING FROM AND BACK TO PARK FOR THE SCREEN TO CLEAR.

I HAVE A 2017 GMC ACADIA SL-2 ALL TERRAIN WITH 16,000 MILES THAT WAS IN FOR SERVICE A MONTH AGO FOR THE 'SHIFT TO PARK' PROBLEM FOR 2 WEEKS. GM WOULD NOT REPLACE THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY INSTEAD A HARNESS WAS INSTALLED. ONE WEEK LATER IT WAS BACK IN FOR SERVICE AND HAS BEEN IN THERE FOR LAST 10 DAYS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I DO HAVE A LOANER WHICH I APPRECIATE BUT I WANT MY CAR REPAIRED. I AM TOLD THE GM STRIKE IS AFFECTING THE DELAY IN GETTING PARTS TO THE DEALER. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND ASCERTAINED THAT THERE ARE 2 DIFFERENT SHIFT ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENTS. THE FIRST FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM WAS PART NO. 84159722. THE SECOND REPLACEMENT NUMBER IS 13528228 WHICH REPLACES THE 84159722. MY CAR NEEDS PART NO. 13528228 SO WE HAVE NO FURTHER ISSUE WITH THE SHIFT TO PARK PROBLEM. (IF IN FACT THIS IS A...

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.

2017 GMC ACADIA HAS 'SHIFT TO PARK' ERROR FOR THE LAST 6 MTHS. WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE CAR IS IN PARK AND WILL NOT TURN CAR OFF COMPLETELY. IT HAS CAUSED OTHER ISSUES WITH THE CAR LIKE BATTERY/CAR HESITATING TO START IN THE MORNING. ALSO THE RADIO/BLUETOOTH NOT DISCONNECTING AFTER TURNING CAR OFF. YOU HAVE. THIS IS A LONG PROCESS TO GET THE CAR TO REALIZE IT IS IN PARK. AFTER TURNING CAR ON AND OFF, SHIFTING CAR OUT OF PARK AND BACK INTO PARK. AND ALSO WIGGLING THE SHIFT GEAR. THIS AFTER KNOWING IT IS AN ON HOING ISSUE FOR WELL OVER A YEAR IS STILL NOT A RECALL AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT MADE A FIX FOR THIS.

THE "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE COMES ON AFTER I PARK THE CAR. I HAVE TO WIGGLE THE GEAR SHIFT BACK AND FORTH TO GET IT TO GO OFF OR THE CAR STAYS ON ELECTRONICALLY. THE DOOR LOCKS GO ON/OFF (AND UP AND DOWN) WHILE DRIVING (PURPORTEDLY DUE TO THE CAR GOING IN AND OUT OF PARK WHILE DRIVING) WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY (47,000 MILES) MY DEALERSHIP SAID IT WOULD BE $700-$800 TO FIX THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH GMC HAS PUT OUT A BULLETIN TO TELL THE DEALERSHIPS HOW TO FIX IT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. IF THE CAR ISN'T READING IT'S IN PARK, IT COULD ROLL AND CAUSE INJURY AND DAMAGE. THIS HAS HAPPENED PRETTY REGULARLY FOR 2 WEEKS GOING ON 3 WEEKS.

MY 2017 GMC ACADIA HAS A "SHIFTER" PROBLEM. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK BUT I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT STATES "SHIFT TO PARK" AND THE CAR DOESN'T COMPLETELY TURN OFF EVEN THOUGH YOU TURN THE CAR OFF PHYSICALLY. SOME ELECTRONICS STAY ON LIKE THE RADIO AND HEADLIGHTS. YOU CANNOT COMPLETELY SHUT THE CAR DOWN - AGAIN - EVEN WHEN YOU PHYSICALLY TURN THE CAR OFF. THE CAR IS IN PARK AND STOPPED.

VEHICLE WARNING LIGHT SAYS "SHIFT TO PARK" WHEN CAR IS STOPPED AND SHIFTER IS PUT INTO PARK. VEHICLE WILL NOT SHUT DOWN PROPERLY.

VEHICLE STATES, 'SHIFT TO PARK,' WHEN TRYING TO TURN OFF ENGINE WHEN IT IS ALREADY IN PARK. TURN VEHICLE BACK ON AND HAVE TO SHIFT MULTIPLE TIMES OUT AND THEN BACK INTO PARK BEFORE CAR WILL RECOGNIZE IT IS IN FACT IN PARK TO SHUT DOWN ENTIRE ENGINE. HAVE REPLACED BATTERY ONCE ALREADY. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND FOOT IS ON BREAK WHEN TRYING TO TURN CAR OFF. HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE PURCHASE BUT, JUST GOT FED UP WITH IT.

WHEN CAR IS PLACED IN PARK, THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY SAYS THAT THE CAR MUST BE SHIFTED TO PARK, ALTHOUGH IT IS HAS BEEN PUT IN PARK. THE CAR MUST BE RESTARTED, AND RESHIFTED TO PARK, MULTIPLE TIMES. (AS MANY AS A DOZEN TIMES.) WHEN THE ERROR MESSAGE APPEARS THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS DO NOT SHUT DOWN. THE CAR CANNOT BE LOCKED. UNSURE WHETHER CAR IS/ IS NOT ACTUALLY IN PARK, OR WHETHER THERE IS A DANGER OF CAR ROLLING AWAY.

I AM GETTING A MESSAGE SHIFT TO PARK! ON 2017 GMC ACADIA AFTER PUTTING MY VEHICLE IN PARK UNABLE TO LOCK CAR AND LIGHTS AND RADIO REMAIN ON. IT TOOK ME MORE THAN AN HOUR TO GET MY VEHICLE TO STOP DISPLAYING MESSAGE. I AM VERY CONCERNED AND APPALLED AT THE SAME TIME UPON INVESTIGATING I HAVE DISCOVERED GMC IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT. I REALLY WISHED IT WOULD HAVE BEEN REVEALED AND I COULD HAVE CHOSEN ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT IS VERY BAD BUSINESS PRACTICES MY VEHICLE IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD AND I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS.

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...

2017 ACADIA IS DISPLAYING 'SHIFT TO PARK' MESSAGE WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON AND SHIFT TO OTHER GEARS AND BACK TO PARK UPWARDS OF 5/10 TIMES PRETTY MUCH EVERY TIME I TRY TO TURN THE CAR OFF.

UPON TURNING MY IGNITION OFF, THE "SHIFT TO PARK" WARNING MESSAGE APPEARS, EVEN THOUGH THE DISPLAY SHOWS THAT I AM IN "P" AND THE BRAKE IS ON. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP,I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND POINTED TO THE MESSAGE ON MY DISPLAY. BEFORE THE TECHNICIAN EVEN LOOKED INTO MY CAR, HE ASKED "SHIFT TO PARK"? SO OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS GMC REPAIR CENTER. MY FRUSTRATION IS THAT IF IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT, WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED?

"SHIFT TO PARK" ERROR WHEN CAR IS ALREADY IN PARK. ISSUE STARTED ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO; HOWEVER, IT IS BECOMING WORSE AND MORE FREQUENT. MOST OF THE TIME, PRESSING THE SHIFTER BUTTON IN/OUT WILL TURN THE CAR OFF BUT NOT IT CAN TAKE UP TO 5 MINUTES OF TURNING THE CAR ON/OFF AND SHIFTING GEARS TO GET THE CAR TO RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS IN PARK. (THE DASHBOARD DOES RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS IN PARK WITH THE "P" BESIDE THE MILEAGE BUT THE SENSOR DOES NOT.) IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE CAR CAN NOT BE TURNED OFF AND LOCKED. DESPITE ONLY HAVING THE CAR FOR A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS, THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE COSTS NEEDS TO BE COVERED OUT OF POCKET SINCE IT WAS A LOANER.

I REPORTED A PROBLEM OVER A YEAR AGO, AND DESPITE SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALER, THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL WHILE SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEARS. THIS RESULTS IN A VERY HARSH SHIFT. THE MAIN SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT WHILE YOU ARE TRYING TO ACCELERATE, YOUR VEHICLE GOES INTO NEUTRAL AND YOU NEARLY STOP. NOT ONLY HAVE I BEEN SLAMMED INTO MY SEAT WHEN IT FINALLY CATCHES IN THE NEXT GEAR, BUT I'VE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE DEALER CLAIMS IT'S "DOING WHAT ITS SUPPOSE TO".

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

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.

WHEN YOU SHIFT INTO PARK, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT REGISTER AS BEING IN PARK. THERE IS AN INDICATOR ON THE GAUGE PANEL SAYING "SHIFT TO PARK." THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, THE ENGINE CANNOT BE TURNED OFF WHILE IN THIS CONDITION AND IT DOES NOT REGISTER THE TRANSMISSION AS BEING IN PARK. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS SHIFTED INTO PARK ONCE THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED.

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.

WHEN VEHICLE IS SHIFTED INTO PARK INFORMATION CENTER SAYS VEHICLE IS NOT IN PARK AND VEHICLE WILL NOT SHUT OFF. I HAVE TAKING THE VEHICLE INTO GMC SERVICE AND THEY SAID IT WAS OKAY TO DRIVE IT AND TAKE IT HOME. SINCE THEN WE HAVE HAD TO GET THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO THE SERVICE DEALERSHIP THAT SAID IT WAS OKAY TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DIED SEVERAL TIMES AND WOULD NOT START. THERE IS A NATION WIDE PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL ANT THE SHIFTING NOT STAYING IN PARK.

I HAVE A 2017 ACADIA. WHEN THE CAR IS SHIFTED INTO PARK, THE DASHBOARD SHOWS A WARNING THAT THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK! IT SAYS I CAN'T TURN OFF THE CAR UNTIL THE CAR IS IN PARK, EVEN THOUGH IT'S IN PARK. AFTER SPEAKING TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT MY DEALERSHIP, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND THEY BOUGHT IN EXTRA PARTS TO REPAIR THE CARS THAT COME IN. THIS FIRST HAPPENED 6 MONTHS AGO BUT ONLY OCCURED ONE TIME, NOW IT IS CONSISTANT AND I AM ONLY 700 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY SO I AM STUCK PAYING FOR IT OUT OF POCKET. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM.

SHIFT TO PARK NOT RECOGNIZED WHEN VEHICLE STATIONARY IN PARK. VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OFF OR LOCK DURING THIS TIME.

SHIFT TO PARK WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, IT SAYS SHIFT TO PARK AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO RUN AND HORN HONKS LETTING YOU KNOW YOU ARE EXITING THE CAR WITH IT RUNNING, AFTER PUTTING IT IN DRIVE, NEUTRAL, ETC AND SHIFTING IT BACK TO PARK, THE MESSAGE STILL DISPLAYS.

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.

2017 GMC ACADIA DISPLAYS "SHIFT TO PARK" WHEN ALREADY IN PARK AND DOESN'T ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO TURN OFF THE ELECTRONICS. PROBLEM WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED UNDER WARRANTY WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER IN JULY OF 2018. NOW EXACTLY 1 YEAR LATER, NOW OUT OF WARRANTY, THE "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE IS HAPPENING AGAIN AFTER THE CONTROLLER WAS REPLACED LAST YEAR TO FIX THE PROBLEM. NOW THAT CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH ITS SUCH A COMMON COMPLAINT NOW THAT GMC IS AWARE OF, THE DEALER IS ASKING ME TO PAY OVER $500 TO FIX IT AGAIN. HOW DO I KNOW IT WILL FIX IT THIS TIME? THE LAST "FIX" ONLY LASTED A YEAR. GMC NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THEIR MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

A "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE SHOWS UP AFTER I HAVE ALREADY PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO TURN MY VEHICLE OFF COMPLETELY. I HAVE 53,500 MILES ON MY ACADIA AND HAD TO HAVE A NEW BATTERY PUT IN LAST WEEK. A GMC DEALERSHIP STATES THE PART TO FIX THE SHIFT LEVER IS ON BACK ORDER BUT THAT THEY HAVE HEARD THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2017 ACADIA. IT IS FRUSTRATING THAT GMC IS AWARE THERE IS AN ISSUE AND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A LAWSUIT FILED REGARDING THIS HOWEVER THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED.

OUR ACADIA ON A 50% BASIS IS COMPLAINING TO THE DRIVER TO "SHIFT TO PARK". THIS IS EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SHIFTED TO PARK. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY SAID THEY ORDERED THE PART BUT BECAUSE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THERE IS NONE AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW AND NO IDEA WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE.

WHEN SHIFTING VEHICLE INTO PARK, THE VEHICLE STILL SAYS SHIFT TO PARK AND WILL NOT TURN OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD NOT REMAIN IN THE PARK POSITION AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT POWER OFF. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NORMAN GALE BUICK GMC (1247 NJ-10, CEDAR KNOLLS, NJ 07927, (973) 975-4039) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PART WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SEPTEMBER OF 2019. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 26,000.

UPON SHIFTING THE VEHICLE INTO PARK THE ONBOARD DISPLAY WILL NOT SHOW THE VEHICLE IN PARK. AFTER REVIEWING MULTIPLE FORUMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT SHIFTING INTO PARK

SHIFT TO PARK ISSUE. WHEN YOU PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS IN PARK AND DISPLAYS ON THE INFORMATION SCREEN TO SHIFT TO PARK. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO TURN IT OFF BECAUSE IT THINKS THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK WHEN IT ACTUALLY IS. THIS WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY FOR ME IN 2018 WITH 14K MILES (REPLACED SHIFTER ASSEMBLY) AND NOW I HAVE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AT 39K MILES. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND HAVE THE OLD SHIFT ASSEMBLY (P/N 84159722) REPLACED WITH THE NEW SHIFT ASSEMBLY IT CREATED IN OCTOBER OF 2018 (P/N 13528228) WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT 14K MILES, IT WAS REPLACED WITH THE OLD PART NUMBER 84159722 WHICH IS DEFECTIVE AS I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN AT 39K MILES. NOW MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I AM GOING...

AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, SHIFTING INTO PARK AND TURNING OFF THE ENGINE, A WARNING MESSAGE APPEARS STATING TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO PARK. THE CAR IS IN PARK, BUT THERE MUST BE SOME TYPE OF SENSOR FAILURE. I AM PROHIBITED FROM COMPLETING SHUT DOWN OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL I CLEAR THE WARNING MESSAGE. WHEN THIS ISSUE FIRST AROSE, I COULD "JIGGLE" THE SHIFTER A BIT, AND THE MESSAGE WOULD CLEAR. NOW, ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER, I NEED TO START THE CAR, MOVE THE SHIFTER BETWEEN GEARS, AND THEN BACK INTO PARK. AFTER 2 - 3 TIMES REPEATING THE PROCEDURE, THE WARNING MESSAGE USUALLY CLEARS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE. A NEW SHIFTER HAS BEEN ORDERED. THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER.

EVERY TIME I PARK MY VEHICLE. IT IS IN PARK BUT A MESSAGE DISPLAYS TELLING ME TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND IT WILL NOT SHUT OFF.
