2018 GMC ACADIA Unknown Or Other Problems

When placing the car into park, dash indicated that the car was not in park. So, emergency brake had be utilized until the problem was determined by a GMC dealer rep. When asked, the rep did stated that this problem was happening with these vehicles. Safety of driver or others was definitely put at risk, car could have rolled out of my driveway or if parked elsewhere. Definitely felt unsafe operating this vehicle. This was happening on a regular basis prior to scheduling an appointment, approximately 2 weeks. Appointment was made at dealer and it was determined that floor shifter had to be replaced. Failure to be able to get the car in park indicated as above. This should be a recall and not a financial responsibility of owner.

When I put the vehicle in park to exit the vehicle I get an alert on the dash that says to put the vehicle in park. The vehicle is in fact parked but I can't shut it off or lock it. I have searched and found that there was a class action lawsuit but no recall. The dealership keeps telling me that there isn't a fix for the problem.

Water is leaking down back window from 3rd break light. Seal is bad/crushed was never put in right

When I put the vehicle in park and then turn off the engine, a warning comes on the dashboard saying “shift to park” and the electronics will not turn off or the lights and I cannot lock my doors. I cannot leave my vehicle until it goes off. Sometimes it is only a few seconds and can go up to a few minutes. I noticed this problem when I bought the vehicle in 2020 and is a recurring problem and is becoming unbearable that want to trade this vehicle in because I do not want to deal with it.

My 2018 GMC Acadia does not detect that it is in park. The vehicle does not shut off even though I put it in park. I have to wiggle the shifter and play around with it until it detects that it is in park. The dealer is aware of this issue and I did have the entire shifter replaced. This happened the first time at around 30k miles. It has been a little over a year and it is happening again. The fix only seams to be temporary. I am afraid that the car will not detect is in park and keep rolling. This could be a serious issue. GMC is aware of the issue and they have no fix for it. There are already various lawsuits and complaints about this shift to park issue.

The gear system fails to recognize when the car is in park. I have had the gear box replaced once on this car, and it is failing again. The car has 92000 miles. The problem is that I cannot shut the car off completely or lock it because the system does not recognize that the car is in park. My dealer told me last time that the problem is caused by a faulty sensor. Now it's happening again. This is a major issue and GMC needs to correct it. Thankfully I bought an extended warranty so they will have to fix it again, but this is absurd. No other car I've had has ever had this issue.

Had to replace the shifter, harness, and parking assist module to the tune of $1569.00! When it was put into park the system would not acknowledge it was in park...therefore I could not lock the vehicle and an alarm kept going off. My Acadia only has 12,000 miles on it...NO excuse for having to replace those parts with or without a warranty! Dealership said I am not the only one this has happened to...they have replaced a number of them!

Shift to park notification keeps coming on after shutting off the car. It obviously has been shifted in to park before turning off the engine, but the notification keeps popping up. I have had the shift harness replaced by a mechanic once alreafy. He says this is the GMC authorized fix. IT DID NOT FIX THe PROBLEM! Of course, he'll put another shift harness for me, but what are the odds that will solve anything. GMC needs to come up with a better solution! It is frustrating and time consuming trying to come up with whichever trick will work to make the notification to away. I am not a very happy customer!

when the car is in park it thinks its still in gear and there is an alarm that says "SHIFT TO PARK". Car cant be turned off. It rolls. its unsafe. It was repaired once for this in 2019. It came back 2 weeks ago. Dealer wont honor correcting the repair.

When the vehicle is in park, and I attempt to turn vehicle off, I get a messege saying to put vehicle in park. Vehicle will not turn off.

I'm getting the "Shift to Park" message when my vehicle is already in the Park position. This issue first started happening in 2019 and I took it to my local GMC service center to be looked at since it was still under warranty. It started happening again about 2 weeks ago. My extended warranty and powertrain has expired, so I'm concerned that the same dealership will charge me for this repair when I take it this week. If this is a known issue with this vehicle, as evidenced by the scores of complaints related to this issue, why isn't there a recall on this vehicle?

SHIFT TO PARK WARNING IS COMING ON, I AM NOT ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF. THE CAR IS ROLLING EITHER FORWARD OR BACKWARD WHILE IN THE PARKED POSITION. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR ON AND OFF MANY TIMES PLUS PUT IT IN FORWARD, REVERSE, NEUTRAL AND MOST OF THE TIME THAT STILL DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF, AND IT IS ROLLING FORWARD OR BACKWARD WHILE IT IS PARKED.

WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TURN OFF IT WILL RANDOMLY SAY "SHIFT TO PARK" IT STARTED DOING THIS IN AUG OR SEPT 2019 THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND I BROUGHT IT TO A DEALER TO "FIX". FAST FORWARD APRIL 2021 IT STARTED TO SAY SHIFT TO PARK AGAIN AND CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. CALLED DIFFERENT DEALERS EVEN THE ONE I BROUGHT THE CAR TO FIX PROBLEM (THAT WAS A JOKE), THEY KNOW ITS A PROBLEM AND SAYING SINCE THAT PART GOT FIXED IN 2019 WITH A BAD PART AND NOW THERE IS A A NEWER FIX THAT SHOULD WORK BETTER, BUT I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND PART AGAIN. AGAIN THEY KNOW IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON RESHIFT, PUSH THE SHIFTER HARDER, ETC TO...

MY 2018 GMC ACADIA WAS BOUGHT USED. IT HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE SHIFTER REGARDING "SHIFT TO PARK". WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PLACED IN PARK THE SENSORS OR COMPUTER DOES NOT RECOGNIZE IT AND YOU HAVE TO SHIFT IN AND OUT OF PARK TO GET IT RECOGNIZED. I CALLED MY LOCAL GMC DEALER IN TENNESSEE AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER RECALL AND MY VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THEY WANTED 400.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR ISSUE. UPON AN INTERNET SEARCH I LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. I FEEL AS A CONSUMER THAT GMC SHOULD GENERATE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE REGARDING "SHIFT TO PARK". THANK YOU

KEEP GETTING PARKING SHIFT GEAR WARNING EVEN WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED. HAPPENS FREQUENTLY

I WAS GETTING A SHIFT TO PARK ERROR MESSAGE WHEN PUTTING MY ACADIA IN PARK. I HAD IT REPAIRED ON 08/18/2018. THE SAME PROBLEM CAME UP AGAIN AND WAS REPAIRED TODAY 10/19/2020. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND VERY FRUSTRATING. MY WARRANTY EXPIRES ON 12/14/2020 AND BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE GM AUTHORITY WEBSITE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SO MYSELF AND OTHERS ARE NOT STUCK WITH PAYING FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THIS HAPPENS WHEN A VEHICLE IS PUT INTO PARK AND THEN THIS SHIFT TO PARK ERROR MESSAGE COMES UP. SOMETIMES YOU CANNOT EVEN SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. BOTH REPAIRS INVOLVED REPLACING THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY. THIS IS A GM PROBLEM AND SHOULD THEY SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL.

WHEN THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE SHIFTED TO "PARK", THE CAR NOTIFIES YOU ON SCREEN "SHIFT TO PARK" AND THEN BECOMES STUCK AND YOU HAVE TO KEEP WIGGLING, TRYING TO GET IT TO ACTUALLY PARK UNTIL THE NOTICE GOES AWAY. IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM AND HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO RECALL, YET THE 2017 2018 MODELS ARE ALL HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND THERE IS NO RECALL YET. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND WE ARE NOW BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHARGES TO HAVE IT BEING FIXED. THIS SHOULD NOT BE MY RESPONSIBILITY AS IT IS HUGELY AWARE TO ALL THE DEALERSHIPS AND THERE ARE COURT CASES BEING FILED BECAUSE OF THIS.

SHIFT TO PARK ISSUE NOT ENGAGING PROPERLY RESULTING IN LIGHTS AND ALARM STAYING ON AND NOT ALLOWING DOORS TO LOCK. OCCURS FREQUENTLY.

WHEN I SHIFT TO PARK, WHEN I'M OUT OF MY CAR IT STARTS ROLLING AND SAYING THAT I NEED TO SHIFT TO PARK, EVEN THOUGH I'M ALREADY IN PARK.

VEHICLE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE WHEN IT IS IN PARK. AT TIMES VEHICLE WILL NOT GO INTO PARK AND MAKES ME CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT GM IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE.

VEHICLE IS NOT RECOGNIZING THAT IT IS IN PARK THEREFORE RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE NOT SHUTTING OFF

2018 GMC ACADIA SHOWN 'SHIFT TO PARK' MESSAGE EVEN CAR IS STOPPED/ PARKED.

EVERY TIME I PARK AND TRY TO SHUT CAR OFF THE CAR REFUSES TO TURN OFF AND GIVES A MESSAGE THAT SAYS SHIFT TO PARK. REQUIRES 20+ ATTEMPTS OF RESTARTING, SHIFTING OUT OF PARK AND BACK INTO IT BEFORE SUCCEEDING. CAR IS CLEARLY IN PARK, NOT ROLLING BUT I'M UNABLE TO TURN OFF CAR FULLY. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING THE LAST MONTH OR TWO. I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW.

WHEN YOU SHIFT TO PARK THE VEHICLE DOES NOT GO INTO PARK. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE JUMPER HARNESS (84733196) ON MAY 1, 2020. THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE ON JULY 24, 2020 DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE SHIFTER (84699764) TRANS CONTROL. THIS OCCURS WHEN WE ARE STATIONARY ATTEMPTING TO PLACE THE VEHICLE INTO PARK FROM DRIVER OR REVERSE.

STOP VEHICLE/ SHIFT TO PARK / TOUCH BUTTON TO TURN OFF VEHICLE/ ENGINE TURNS OFF BUT DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER STATES SHIFT CAR TO PARK. I HAVE TO START THE VEHICLE SHIFT OUT OF PARK THEN BACK TO PARK SHUT OFF ENGINE SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT RECOGNIZES IT IS IN PARK.

CAR WON'T TURN OFF. THE DASH WARNING SAYS SHIFT TO PARK WHEN THE CAR IS ALREADY IN PARK. YOU HAVE TO SHIFT BACK TO DRIVE SEVERAL TIME FOR THE PARK TO ENGAGE AND THEN SHUT OFF.

SHIFT TO PARK KNOWN ISSUE HAS STARTED. I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 1 YR. 5 MONTHS. I KNOW THERE ARE LAWSUITS ON THIS ISSUE. CONTINUOUS ISSUE AND GETTING WORSE. THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY GM. IT IS EPIDEMIC IN THEIR ACADIAS. STATIONARY AND PUTTING IT INTO PARK. IT DOESN'T RECOGNIZE IT'S IN PARK! IT'S BEEN OCCURRING OFF AND ON OVER A WEEK, NOT TODAY, EVERY TIME I TRY TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE.

WHEN YOU TRY TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT STATES THAT ITS NOT IN PARK. IT WILL NOT SHUT OFF. YOU HAVE TO START THE CAR AND SHUT OFF MULTIPLE TIMES AND HOPE THAT WORKS. I'VE LOOKED IT UP AND THERE IS A LAWSUIT ABOUT IT BUT NO RECALL. IT DOES THIS EVERY TIME I DRIVE SOMEWHERE AND TRY TO TURN MY CAR OFF. *TR

I HAVE RECEIVED THE 'SHIFT TO PARK' ERROR MESSAGE ON THE DASH WHEN THE CAR IS ALREADY IN PARK. ONE TIME WITH THE CAR OFF, THE ERROR MESSAGE ON, THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL DESPITE IT BEING IN PARK. I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR, SHIFT THE SHIFTER DOWN THEN BACK TO PARK BACK DOWN AND BACK TO PARK BEFORE THE CAR WOULD RECOGNIZE THE SHIFTER WAS IN PARK. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS IN A PARKING SPOT AND IN MY GARAGE.

SHIFT TO PARK. SENSOR WON'T SHUT OFF. *TR

WHEN I SHIFT THE CAR TO PARK AFTER DRIVING I RECEIVE A "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE. THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK BUT WILL NOT REGISTER.

PUT CAR IN PARK WENT TO KILL IT AND IT WONT TURN OFF SAYS SHIFT TO PARK IT IS IN PARK HAD TO DO THIS LIKE 10 TIMES ..TWICE TODAY..MY CAR WONT TURN OFF FINALLY GOT IT OFF. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS 2018 ACADIA LEAD THAN 1 MTH.. I HAVE READ WHERE THIS IS A BIG MAJOR ISSUE.. WHAT DO I DO

WHEN I PUT MY CAR INTO PARK A SHIFT TO PARK MESSAGE APPEARS. I HAVE TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT SEVERAL TIMES TO FINALLY GET THE CAR TO SHUT OFF. SOMETIMES IT TAKES 10 MINUTES! IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TURN THE CAR OFF. I HAVE TO SIT THERE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE BECAUSE I'M AFRAID IT WILL ROLL AWAY.

THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES FAILS TO RECOGNIZE THAT IT HAS BEEN PUT INTO PARK, FLASHING A MESSAGE ON THE DASH INSTRUCTING ME TO 'SHIFT TO PARK' EVEN WHEN THE GEAR LEVER HAVE ALREADY BEEN MOVED TO THE 'P' POSITION.

2018 GMC ACADIA PARK ISSUE.THE VEHICLE KEEPS SAYING "SHIFT TO PARK" WHEN PARKED. CAN NOT SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF OR LOCK THE DOORS. THE DASH STAYS LIT UP. ALWAYS HAVE TO RUN THROUGH THE GEARS SEVERAL TIMES TAKING UP TO 15 MINUTES TO GET INTO PARK.

GMC ACADIA IS PLACED IN "PARK," CLEARLY SHOWN ON THE DASH BOARD WITH THE "P" HIGHLIGHTED RED. WHEN THE POWER BUTTON IS PRESSED, A "SHIFT TO PARK" ALERT POPS UP AND WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO LEAVE THE CAR. THIS CAUSED ME TO BE LATE TO WORK THIS MORNING. THEN TONIGHT, AFTER WORKING A 12 HOUR SHIFT AT THE HOSPITAL ON THANKSGIVING, I HAD TO SIT IN MY GARAGE FOR 20 MINUTES TRYING TO TURN MY VEHICLE OFF.

WILL NOT SHIFT TO PARK WHEN STATIONARY IN DRIVEWAY AND PUBLIC PARKING SPACE, MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO SHIFT TO PARK. APPOINTMENT MADE TO TRY AND FIX, HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN ONE WEEK.

MY 2018 GMC ACADIA DENALI WILL NOT REGISTER THAT IT IS IN PARK AND THEREFORE YOU CANT TURN OFF THE ELECTRICAL EVEN AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE. ALSO IT WILL ROLL AWAY AS I FOUND OUT THIS MORNING AS I WAS TRYING TO GET HELP FROM THE DEALESHIP.

I PUT MY 2018 ACADIA IN PARK IN MY GARAGE (A FLAT STATIONARY SPOT) AND I RECEIVE A MESSAGE THAT STATES 'PUT VEHICLE IN PARK', WHICH IT ALREADY IS IN PARK AND AS A RESULT THE ENGINE WON'T SHUT OFF. I HAVE HAD THIS OCCUR SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST MONTH, BUT MOST RECENTLY OCCURRED ON OCTOBER 24, 2019. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING IT IS POSSIBLY A BAD SHIFTER ASSEMBLY WHICH NOT ONLY WILL KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM SHUTTING OFF, IT CAN ALSO NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE IN PARK. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND I AM DISAPPOINTED TO DISCOVER THAT GMC IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE OCCURRING WITH THE VEHICLES. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE ESPECIALLY IF IT WILL FAIL TO HOLD YOUR VEHICLE IN PARK.

SHIFT TO PARK ICON COMES UP AND WILL NOT LET ME TURN OFF VEHICLE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. AND TO TOP IT OFF, I SENT IT TO A GMC DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE TO ORDER PARTS BUT SINCE GMC IS ON STRIKE THE PARTS WILL TAKE A LITTLE WHILE TO GET HERE.

SHIFT TO PARK SENSOR APPEARS WHEN CAR IS IN PARK. WILL NOT SHUT OFF. CAR BEEPS AND WILL NOT LOCK. WE HAVE TO START AND SHUT OFF THE CAR WHILE PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK AND OUT OF PARK TO GET THIS SENSOR TO SHUT OFF. SOMETIMES THIS WILL TAKE 15 MINUTES. CANNOT LEAVE THE CAR WITH LIGHT ON.

I WENT TO PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK AND IT SHOWED ME A SHIFT TO PARK MESSAGE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TWICE TO GET IT FIXED. TODAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME IT'S STUCK ON DRIVE AND LEFT ME STRANDED IN THE PARKING LOT. I HAD TO PUT THE EMERGENCY BREAK ON, DISCONNECT MY BATTERY AND LEAVE MY CAR FOR IT TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER TOMORROW OR MONDAY.

REF MY 2018 GMC ACADIA. WHEN I'M TRYING TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF A MESSAGE APPEARS SAYING "SHIFT TO PARK" EVEN THOUGH THE GEAR SHIFT IS IN PARK. THIS WONT LET THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF CAUSING A DRAIN IN BATTERY.

SHIFT TO PARK 2018 GMC ACADIA AWD ERROR MESSAGE SAYING VEHICLE ISN'T IN PARK; MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO MOVE SHIFT LEVER, TURN OFF AND ON, ETC FAIL TO TURN OFF THE ERROR MESSAGE SO THE CAR WILL COMPLETELY TURN OFF. CAR TURNS OFF BUT THE ALARM KEEPS BEEPING SAYING IT'S NOT IN PARK. VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR OVER 2 WEEKS WITH NO, ZERO, DATE OF REPLACEMENT TO ARRIVE. VEHICLE IS OWNED (NO FIANCING, NO LEASE). PAID FOR A $50K VEHICLE THAT I CAN'T DRIVE. NOT SAFE, NOT USEABLE.

WHEN PUSHING VEHICLE IGNITION BUTTON "START/STOP" TO TURN VEHICLE "OFF" IT WILL TURN THE ENGINE OFF BUT KEEP THE VEHICLE STILL "ON" USING THE BATTERY. IF I OPEN THE DOOR AND SHUT IT, THE HORN HONKS TO ALERT THAT THE VEHICLE IS STILL "ON" AND NOT COMPLETELY STOPPED. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE IGNITION BUTTON TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE VEHICLE IS OFF IS BY JERKING THE GEAR SHIFT UNTIL THE GREEN LIGHT GOES TO "OFF". IT DOES NOT DO IT EVERY TIME I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, BUT IT DOES IT ABOUT EVERY OTHER TIME. I WILL TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP VERY SOON FOR THEM TO LOOK AT THIS ALSO.

ONE DAY MY CAR STARTED TELLING ME SHIFT TO PARK WHILE IT WAS IN PARK. AS THE DAY PROGRESSED IT BECAME WORSE AND WORSE. RESULTING IN THE CAR NOT SHUTTING OFF. PUTTING IT INTO GEAR AND BACK TO PARK WAS NOT HELPING. THE LAST TIME IT TOOK NEARLY 30 MINUTES BEFORE I COULD GET THE CAR TO SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY AS IT KEPT STARING SHIFT TO PARK. CAR WAS NOT MOVING HAD ONLY GONE WITHIN CITY LIMITS WITH MAX SPEEDS OF 45MPH.

THE VEHICLE WOULD DISPLAY A DASHBOARD WARNING "SHIFT TO PARK." EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO "PARK" THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT REGISTER THAT IT WAS IN PARK. THIS WOULD PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM BEING TURNED OFF. A DRIVER WOULD THINK THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, AND TAKE THEIR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT REGISTER IT WAS IN PARK AND WOULD DISPLAY A WARNING ON THE DASH "SHIFT TO PARK." YOU WOULD THEN HAVE TO SHIFT BACK AND FORTH, FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR DRIVE AND THEN BACK INTO PARK FOR THE VEHICLE TO FINALLY REGISTER IT WAS IN PARK. THIS WOULD OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND SITTING ANYWHERE YOU WOULD PARK THE CAR.

WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF I RECEIVE THE MESSAGE SHIFT TO PARK. THE CAR IS ALREADY IN PARK AND I HAVE TO SHIFT MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE CAR TO REGISTER IT AS PARKED.

WHEN I TRY TO SHUT VEHICLE OFF IT SAYS SHIFT TO PARK. MY VEHICLE IS ALREADY IN PARK AND I CANNOT SHUT IT OFF. IT JUST CONTINUES DO DING AS WELL AND I CANNOT LOCK THE DOORS AND THE LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF.

WHEN PUTTING MY VEHICLE IN PARK AND PRESSING THE ENGINE OFF BUTTON, I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE "SHIFT TO PARK", AND THE VEHICLE BEEPS AND WILL NOT TURN OFF THE ELECTRICAL, BUT THE CARE IS ALREADY IN PARK. I AM UNABLE TO TURN OFF MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY. I HAVE TO PRESS START AGAIN AND PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND BACK TO PARK, SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO REGISTER THAT IS IN PARK AND ALLOW ME TO SHUT OFF MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE MAY NOT ACTUALLY BE IN PARK WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK. I DO NOT WANT IT TO ROLL DOWN A HILL AND I WANT TO BE ABLE TO TURN OFF MY CAR WITHOUT BEING CONCERNED IT WILL CONTINUE TO RUN ELECTRICAL AND KILL MY BATTERY.
