2017 GMC Acadia Complaint Log

VEHICLE "SHIFT TO PARK" CAN NOT BE FIXED... VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT TO PARK, ROLLS OUT OF DRIVEWAY EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE SHIFTER IS PHYSICALLY IN "PARK"- VEHICLE WAS SERVICED FOR THIS MULTIPLE TIMES, AND UNDER WARRANTY. DANGEROUS *TR

ON SATURDAY, APRIL 11, 2020 THE EBCM, ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE, SET OFF A PARKING BRAKE DASHBOARD LIGHT CAUTION. THE PARKING BRAKES NO LONGER ENGAGED. BELIEVING IT WAS A CERTIFIED WARRANTY ISSUE, I HAD IT REPAIRED, APRIL14, 2020, AT BURDICK CHEVY GMC BUICK. TURNS OUT IT IS CONSIDERED A 'WEARABLE PART' AND NOT COVERED. TWO DAYS LATER, APRIL 16, 2020, I DISCOVERED THE EBCM MODULE RECALL ON SIMILAR VEHICLES, ATTACHED AP ARTICLE. SINCE APRIL 16 UNTIL APRIL 23, I ATTEMPTED WORKING WITH GMC, AND THE DEALER, OBTAINING REIMBURSEMENT TO NO AVAIL. THEREFORE AFTER READING THE THE ARTICLE, THE DEALERSHIP, AND FOUR DIFFERENT GMC REPRESENTATIVES, I REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION WHETHER THIS EBCM MODULE ISSUE IS THE SAME AS THE ARTICLE. THANK YOU.

GEAR SHIFT LEVER SHIFT TO PARK VEHICLE DOESN'T GO INTO PARK AND WON'T CUT OFF AND BECAUSE OF IT HAS A TENDENCY SOMETIMES TO ROLL BACK TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS EXPLAINED TO SOME TYPE OF HARNESSING PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. *TR

SECOND TIME INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME THING IN ONE YEAR. THE "SHIFT TO PARK" WARNING POPS UP AFTER I STOP AND PUT THE SHIFTER INTO PARK. HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT FACT. THE VEHICLE THINKS IT IS ANOTHER GEAR. EVEN AFTER GETTING OUT, MY RADIO STAYS ON AND AND MY HORN HONKS AS A WARNING. I TRIED TO LOCK THE DOOR AND IT UNLOCKS ITSELF IMMEDIATELY. MULTIPLE STARTING AND STOPPING ONLY WORKS ON OCCASION. TWO LOST DAYS TO THE REPAIR SHOP. IF I DIDN'T HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS LATEST PROBLEM, THIS VISIT YESTERDAY WOULD HAVE COST ME OVER $500! I FEAR THIS WILL BE A REPEATING ISSUE .

2017 WAS IN GARAGE FOR 1 WEEK. WHEN TRIED TO START VEHICLE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON. CHECKED BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WAS BELOW NORMAL LEVEL. CHECKED UNDER VEHICLE AND ALL BRAKES, NO SIGN OF ANY LEAKS .

THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFTER IS GETTING LOOSE AND A CONSTANT FROM THE CAR COMPUTER ASKING THE DRIVER TO SHIFT TO PARK WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF WHILE THE GEAR SHIFTER IS ON PARK AND THE CAR IS STATIONARY. *TR

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.

SHIFT TO PARK MESSAGE APPEARS WHEN VEHICLE HAS BEEN SHIFTED INTO PARK. CAR DOESN'T TURN OFF. TAKES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TRYING TO JIGGLE SHIFT LEVER, SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO PARK, OR CLICK SHIFT LEVER BUTTON BEFORE MESSAGE DISAPPEARS. DEALER REPLACED WIRING HARNESS FEB 2020, MESSAGE STARTED APPEARING AGAIN WITHIN THE LAST WEEK (JULY 5 2020)

RANDOMLY WHEN THE CAR IS PUT INTO PARK AND THE BUTTON IS PRESSED TO STOP THE ENGINE A MESSAGE COMES UP ON DASHBOARD STATING SHIFT TO PARK... SOMETIMES YOU CAN WIGGLE THE GEAR SHIFT AND THE MESSAGE GOES AWAY, SOMETIMES YOU MUST START, MOVE, AND STOP THE CAR AS MANY AS 15 TO 20 TIMES TO GET THIS TO GO AWAY. IF YOU EXIT THE CAR WHY THE MESSAGE IS ON DASHBOARD, THE HORN WILL CHIRP AT YOU, AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT STABLE, IF IT IS ON A DECLINE IT WILL ROLL, THE RADIO STAYS ON ETC. I FOUND A GM SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THIS, STATING THE PART TO BE REPLACED FOR THE ACADIA WAS 13528228. I HAVE SCHEDULED AN APPT WITH THE LOCAL GM DEALER TO HAVE THIS LOOKED AT. IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE VERY DANGEROUS GIVEN THE RIGHT SCENARIO, IF A KID OR SOMEONE HOPPED OUT OF THE CAR AND IT WASNT IN PARK. THE CAR HAS 36,000 MILES ON IT.

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.

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.

I ATTEMPT TO PLACE MY ACADIA INTO PARK AND POWER DOWN MY VEHICLE ONLY TO GET A "SHIFT TO PARK" ERROR MESSAGE. I AM UNABLE TO POWER DOWN MY VEHICLE AND NOT FULLY PARK MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH I HAVE PARKED IT. THIS OCCURS DAILY AND HAS OCCURED 15-20 TIMES IN 1 ATTEMPT TO PARK. I HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO TURN CAR BACK "ON" AND THEN PUT CAR INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE DRIVING ABOUT A FOOT OR SO THAN ATTEMPT TO REPARK MY VEHICLE. ONLY TO HAVE TO REPEAT THIS STEP OVER AND OVER TIL IT FINALLY DISAPPEARS. GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE ASSOCIATE CLAIMS THEY ARE UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE. OF COURSE THIS ISSUE ONLY OCCURRED AFTER MY VEHICLE WARRANTY EXPIRED.

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.

SHIFT INTO PARK INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN SHIFTED INTO PARK. CLUSTER WON'T SHUT OFF UPON EXIT.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN JUNE 2017. FIRST, THE CAR CAME WITH THE WRONG DOOR HANDLE ON ONE OF THE DOORS THAT TOOK 3 MONTHS TO FIX BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP SCREWED UP THE PAINT ON THE DOOR AND HAD TO PAINT PRACTICALLY THE WHOLE CAR. AND INITIALLY THE DEALERSHIPS AND GMC CORPORATE GAVE ME THE RUNAROUND WITH WHO WAS PAYING FOR THE BILL WHICH THE CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH. THEN THE CAR HAD A SHIFT TO PARK ISSUE IN JULY 2019 WHICH GMC WOULD NOT REPLACE AT THEIR COST EVEN THOUGH THEY RELEASED A NOTICE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ABOUT IT BECAUSE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE BUT NEVER ISSUED A TRUE RECALL NOTICE BECAUSE THEY WANTED THE CONSUMER TO GET STUCK WITH THE BILL. AND SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY MIRRORS NOT STAYING PROGRAMMED AND THE AIR VENTING AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHING TO LETTING AIR IN FROM THE OUTSIDE WITHOUT ME CHANGING IT. THEN MY CAR BATTERY STARTED GOING OUT FEBRUARY 2020 WHICH SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS OF THIS CAR BEING PURCHASED. AND NOW MY RADIATOR (WHICH IS ESTIMATED AT CLOSE TO $1,000 TO REPLACE) IS LEAKING; AGAIN THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING THIS SOON UNLESS THIS CAR IS A LEMON. GMC WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY OF IT WITH THIS CAR AND THIS IS MORE PROBLEMS THAT ANYONE SHOULD EVER HAVE WITH A CAR WITHIN 3 YEARS OF PURCHASING IT BRAND NEW UNLESS IT IS A LEMON CAR WHICH AT THIS POINT, I THINK MINE IS.

THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT TO PARK! IT SAYS SHIFT TO PARK! THIS IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE OF AN ISSUE. THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES I FIGURED IT MAY HAVE BEEN A FLUKE BUT LATELY IT IS ANYTIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN AND I NEED TO PARK.

WHEN SHUTTING DOWN THE VEHICLE A "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE CONSOLE AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DOES NOT SHUT DOWN. IN ORDER TO CLEAR THE PROBLEM, THE VEHICLE MUST BE RESTARTED AND THE SHIFTER MOVED BETWEEN GEARS AND BACK TO PARK, SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIME BEFORE SUCCESSFULLY SHUTTING DOWN. DEALER SAID THAT EVEN THOUGH THE CAR HAD ONLY 35000 MILES ON IT, IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AS THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN SERVICE MORE THAT 36 MONTHS. CHARGED ME $590.00 TO REPLACE THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY. OPENED A CASE WITH GMC, BUT THEY DECLINED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

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

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.

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.

The contact owns a 2017 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that on various occasions, the "Service Side Detection System" warning message was displayed, and the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the Blind Side Zone module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred, and the vehicle lost motive power again and failed to restart. The vehicle was then towed to Brennan Buick GMC (383 State Rte. 3, Plattsburgh, NY 12901) where it was diagnosed that the Blind Side Zone module needed to be replaced again. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred, and the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the "Service Side Detection System" warning message was displayed. The vehicle was not yet taken to an independent mechanic or local dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

SHIFT TO PARK - THIS IS ROUND TWO (2) THAT THIS HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED!! THIS IS ROUND TWO (2) OF TRANSMISSION CONTROL REPLACEMENT - WHICH WORRIES ME THAT OTHER TRANSMISSION ISSUES WILL OCCUR. ACADIA IS "CLEARLY" IN PARK - AND YES I LEARNT YOUR LITTLE TRICK TO WIGGLE AND OR TOUCH THE +/- BUTTON ON TOP OF THE SHIFT STICK TO GET IT TO COMPREHEND THAT IT IS INDEED IN PARK. BUT THAT ONLY WORKED A TOTAL OF THREE (3) TIMES. FIRST TIME WAS IN A PARKING LOT THAT THIS OCCURRED - SECOND TIME IN A GAS STATION. HAVING TO RESTART YOUR VEHICLE AND SHUT IT OFF 10 TIMES JUST FOR IT TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT IS IN PARK - IS HUMILIATING TO SAY THE LEAST WHEN YOU ARE AT A GAS STATION AS WELL AS FRUSTRATING. YOU NEED NOT TO IGNORE THIS - AS THE FIRST TIME I COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. SECOND TIME - I WAS ABLE TO - HOWEVER IF ONE IGNORES IT WILL END UP DRAINING THEIR BATTERY AND/OR ROLLING IF YOU ARE ON AN INCLINE. KINDLY STEP FORWARD AND FIX THIS ISSUE IF YOU WANT SATISFIED CUSTOMERS. AS I CAN PUT ONLY ONE DATE - I PUT THE FIRST ONE 01/13/2020 SECOND REPLACEMENT 03-21-2020 27,109 MILES. THANK YOU.

BETWEEN 1300-1500 RPM THERE IS A HESITATION FOR ACCELERATION. IT SEEMS THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AT THIS RPM AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS COMPLAINT. THE 1ST TIME THIS OCCURRED THE TECHNICIAN REPORTED THE CAR WAS SEVERAL BULLETINS BEHIND AND WAS BROUGHT CURRENT. THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IF ANYTHING THE ISSUE BECAME MORE NOTICEABLE. A BRAKE SENSOR AND GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY HAVE ALSO BEEN REPLACED DUE TO DEFECT.

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.

WE PURCHASED A 2017 ACADIA AWD SLT ON DECEMBER 28, 2017. THERE WAS A RECALL ON GM BULLETIN #19-NA-206 FOR (SHIFT TO PARK) ISSUE. DEALER MICHAEL HOHL GMC 3700 S CARSON ST, CARSON CITY, NV 89701 ORDERED PART BUT WAS NOT INSTALLED UNTIL 1/13/20. DAY AFTER REPAIRS, FUELED CAR AND GAS GAUGE WOULD SHOW THREE QUARTERS FULL. THE FUEL RANGE ALSO BOUNCES UP AND DOWN AND IS NOT ACCURATE. IS THIS A GM RECALL ISSUE? MY CAR IS NOW OUT OF THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY TO REPAIR THIS GAS GAUGE PROBLEM. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT WE MIGHT RUN OUT OF FUEL DUE TO FAULTY GAS GAUGE READING OR WAS THIS A PROBLEM CREATED BY R/R IN-LINE SHIFTER WIRE HARNESS JUMPER. CAR WAS AT DEALER FOR REPAIR (IN WARRANTY) @ 27,762 UNDER MILEAGE AND IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO THREE YEAR TIME SPAN. NOW @27,784 MILES.

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 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.

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 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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 GMC ACADIA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE BRAKE FLUID LOW AND BRAKE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUBURBAN CADILLAC OF TROY (248-643-0070, LOCATED AT 1810 MAPLELAWN DR, TROY, MI 48084) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AND CAUSED BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK INTO THE BOOSTER PUMP. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS NOT CALLED BACK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 37,500. *BF*JB *LN*JB

EXTERIOR HEADLIGHTS ARE INEFFECTIVE AND UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. POOR LIGHTING ON MY VEHICLE HAS CAUSED NEAR ACCIDENTS ON THE FREEWAY WITH DEER AND STALLED VEHICLES ON THE ON THE ROAD.

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.

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

"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.

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.

WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR INTO PARK THE COMPUTER DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS IN PARK, YOU MAY HAVE TO RESTART AND RE-PUT THE CAR BACK INTO PARK SEVERAL TIMES, ALSO THE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF, THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK, THE BATTERY WILL RUN DOWN AND THE CAR WILL ROLL. THE VEHICLE WAS IN A FULL PARKING LOT.

WHEN THE CAR IS SHIFTED INTO PARK, IT OFTEN DOES NOT SHOW THAT IT IS IN PARK. IT WILL ROLL, THE LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF, DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. TO GET IT TO WORK, YOU MUST RESTART THE CAR AND MOVE THE SHIFTER IN AND OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. WHILE YOU ARE DOING THIS THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL WITH THE BRAKES DEPRESSED. THE SERVICE WRITER AT THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES.

THE SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT SYSTEM FAILED LAST YEAR AND CAUSED THE CAR TO DIE AND LEAVE ME STRANDED. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY AND THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE SIDE BLIND ZONE SYSTEM WAS FAULTY AND REPLACED THE MODULE AND SENSORS. A LITTLE OVER A YEAR LATER AND THE SYSTEM IS DOING THE SAME THING. I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE MODULE AND SENSORS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE MY PROBLEM, GMC HAS CREATED A FAULTY SENSOR SYSTEM AND NOW CONSUMERS ARE HAVING TO DISH OUT 700 PLUS DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIR. THERE IS A 'BULLETIN' THAT CONVENIENTLY DOES NOT COVER AL VIN NUMBERS MINE INCLUDED! HOW CAN THAT BE POSSIBLE IF IT'S THE SAME FAULTY SYSTEM? I WOULD LIKE THIS REPAIR TO MADE BY THE MANUFACTURER AND THERE SHOULD BE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THIS MATTER. THE VEHICLE DIED AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT, THANK GOD! I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED AND REPAIRED

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

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 GMC ACADIA. WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND STALLED. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BRENENGEN CHEVROLET CADILLAC (531 THEATER RD, ONALASKA, WI 54650, (608) 783-8900). THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING, THE ENGINE WAS MISFIRING, AND THE MOTOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER CALLED GM AND WAS WAITING FOR MORE INFORMATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 57,720.

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.

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 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!

When I’m driving a warning comes on my DIC screen that says “ACTION REQUIRED STEERING ASSIST IS REDUCED DRIVE WITH CARE”. The AC does not work and the temp gauge goes to cold with the radiator fan blowing at full speed. My car has done this since I purchased it used in 2019 and when I call dealer they say there is no recall and 1200-1800 to replace a sensor and thermostate. I have not had the issue fixed yet.

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.

PREMATURE TREAD WEAR ON ALL 4 TIRES. CAR HAS 34400 MILES ON IT. TOOK CAR IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND ASKED SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO LOOK AT TIRES. I WAS TOLD THIS IS A PROBLEM SEEN A LOT WITH 2017 ACADIAS. SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT MICHELIN WOULD PAY TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES BUT WOULD SPLIT THE COST WITH ME, MEANING I HAVE TO PAY 500-600 DOLLARS FOR NEW TIRES WHEN GMC AND MICHELIN KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE. THESE ARE 60000 MILE TIRES AND SHOULD NOT BE WORN THIS BADLY AT 34400 MILES. I LEASE THIS CAR AND HAVE A YEAR LEFT. I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE TIRES. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT MICHELIN'S OFFER TO SPLIT COST IS ONLY GOOD UNTIL 36000 MILES WHICH DOESN'T GIVE ME MUCH TIME TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO OR PURSUE A MORE SATISFACTORY RESOLUTION. IF I DON'T REPLACE THE TIRES IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO, I WILL HAVE TO PAY FULL COST TO REPLACE THEM LATER. IF I TURN THE CAR IN EARLY, I HAVE 13 PAYMENTS LEFT TO ROLL INTO A NEW LEASE WHICH INCREASES MY MONTHLY PAYMENT SIGNIFICANTLY. MICHELIN AND/OR GM NEED TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND PUT ALL NEW TIRES ON AT NO COST TO ME.

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.
