2017 GMC Acadia Complaint Log

SHIFT TO PARK MESSAGE APPEARS.. IT WAS FIXED BY GMC WARRANTY REPAIR OVER A YEAR AGO AND NOW SAME PROBLEM IS HAPPENING AGAIN... WE HAVE TO WIGGLE THE SHIFTETSND PUSH WITH FORCE TO PUT SHIFTER IN PARK POSITION..

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.

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 INTO PARK' MESSAGE IN INFORMATION CENTER WHEN VEHICLE IS SHIFTED IN TO PARK FROM DRIVE. THE VEHICLE CAN NOT BE TURNED OFF.

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.

"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.

MY VEHICLE IS STARTING TO NOT RECOGNIZE THE SHIFTER BEING IN PARK, THEREFORE WILL NOT SHUT DOWN. THE SHIFTER IS MOVED TO PARK BUT THE CAR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE IT AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF. IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN NOW. I HAVE TO WIGGLE IT AROUND SEVERAL TIMES, AND SOMETIMES TAKE IT BACK OUT FOR ANOTHER SHORT DRIVE BEFORE IT FINALLY RECOGNIZES THAT THE CAR IS IN PARK WHEN I WANT TO GET OUT.

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.

WHEN YOU TRIED TO TURN OFF THE CAR IT SAYS SHIFT TO PARK EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS ALREADY IN PARK AND IT SHOWS ON THE DASHBOARD IT'S IN PARK AND SO YOU CANNOT TURN OFF THE CAR AND THE CAR CAN ROLL AT THE TIME . YOU HAVE TO START THE CAR ON AND OFF AND THEN THE HORN GOES OFF BECAUSE THE KEYS ARE IN THE CAR AND YOU HAVE TO MONKEY AROUND WITH THE SHIFT LEVER MOVING IT BACK-AND-FORTH PUSHING THE BUTTON BEFORE IT ACTUALLY CAR SHUTS OFF AND IT GOES INTO PARK. THIS IS THE GMC ISSUE WITH THEIR TRANSMISSION OR THEIR COMPUTER NO CUSTOMER SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS FIX . THIS SHOULD BE ESPECIALLY PAID FOR BY GMC WHEN SOMEBODY IS LEASING THE VEHICLE .

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.

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

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.

WON'T SHIFT TO 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.

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 GET "STEBILITITRC" WARNING EVERY TIME I STOP. THEY FIXED ONE PROBLEM AND NOW I HAVE ANOTHER. IT IS MY FAMILY CAR SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IT IS SAFE BUT GMC DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW WHATS WRONG OR HOW TO FIX IT EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF MANY ACADIAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

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.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK, THE CAR DISPLAYS A MESSAGE 'SHIFT TO PARK' AND WILL NOT LET YOU TURN THE CAR OFF. THIS IS CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO TURN CAR ON AND OFF AND MOVE IT FROM DRIVE TO PARK UNTIL IT REGISTERS.

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THIS VEHICLE HAS, WITH NO WARNING, EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING FOR 2-10 SECONDS PER EVENT. #1 JUNE - 2018 (APROX MILEAGE 30K+): WHILE EXITING THE FREEWAY OFFRAMP AND SLOWING BELOW 40MPH, MY WIFE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER STEERING FOR 1-2 SECONDS BEFORE REGAINING POWER STEERING. WENT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED TO BE OK, CND (COULD NOT DUPLICATE). #2 11-18-2018 (MILEAGE 46171): WHILE SLOWING AND TURNING LEFT INTO OUR DRIVE WAY THE CAR EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING FOR 5-10 SECONDS. I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP AND SNAP A PICTURE OF THE FOLLOWING ERROR MSG: ACTION REQUIRED, STEERING ASSIST IS REDUCED DRIVE WITH CARE. THIS TIME WE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH PICTURES AND AGAIN CND. #3 6-9-2019 (MILEAGE 64916): WHILE COMING OUT OF A LEFT HAND TURN, AT APROX 5MPH AND SLOWING, I BEGAN TO NAVIGATE A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING LOT WHEN I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS AND RETURN OF POWER STEERING. THE INCIDENT LASTED APRON 2-3 SECONDS, ENOUGH TIME TO HER MY PASSENGER TAKE A PICTURE OF THE FOLLOWING ERROR MSG: ACTION REQUIRED, STEERING ASSIST IS REDUCED DRIVE WITH CARE. I AM TAKING THIS VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH PICTURES OF THE WARNING AND MILEAGE FOR A SECOND TIME. I HAVE NOTICE THAT GM HAD RECALLED NUMEROUS VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM FROM 2017 TILL NOW. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V586. GM'S OWN NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS 18289. DO THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE ADDED TO INITIATE A FIX?

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

WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE, I GET AN ALERT "ACTION REQUIRED SHIFT TO PARK" AND THE VEHICLE IS ALREADY IN PARK. THIS STARTED WHEN I HAD APPROXIMATELY 35,900 MILES ON THE VEHICLE BUT BY THE TIME I GOT AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER, I WAS OVER 36,000 MILES SO THEY SAY IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY ANYMORE. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING, BUT GMC STILL HASN'T INITIATED ANY KIND OF RECALL WHEN THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT I'M SURE THEY KNOW ABOUT.

ACTION REQUIRED SHIFT TO PARK WHEN VEHICLE IS IN PARK WITH ENGINE OFF.

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

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.

WHEN PARKING THE VEHICLE, AFTER SHIFTING TO PARK, THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYS A WARNING SHIFT TO PARK AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO BE SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY ON A CITY STREET, IN OUR DRIVEWAY, AND ALSO IN A PARKING LOT. THIS PREVENTED ME FROM EXITING THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES EACH TIME, WILL I CONTINUED TO RESTART THE CAR, SHIFT FROM PARK TO ANOTHER GEAR AND THEN RESHIFT INTO PARK.

I own a 2017 Acadia Denali (purchased 10-4-17) We started having trouble with the vehicle in that a message appeared saying to shift the car into park. It would shut off but the lights and radio would stay on and you couldn't lock the vehicle. I took it to Ferman GMC in Wesley Chapel on May 28th of 2019. Supposedly they could not replicate the issue. The problem continued and we took it in again on May 31st of 2022. Again, they couldn't replicate what we were encountering. Now it's getting worse, happens almost every time we use the vehicle. So back to Ferman yet again (Oct 12th 2022). Now they are aware of said problem (code is b000a park switch circuit open). At this time they installed an SL-N-SWITCH and N-HARNESS at a cost of $63.13. Then labor, shop fees and taxes brought the total to $760.91, out of my pocket for a known problem. We have also come across a class action suit identifying this as a problem. And a TSB is also out there titled 'Vehicle displays shift to park message on DIC when in park. Vehicle may not shut off when put in park or may not start". There is a NHTSA ID number for this issue: 11353147

WE LEASED A 2017 GMC ACADIA BACK IN OCT. OF 2016. LAST WEEK MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME IN WET CONDITIONS DUE TO RAIN AND GOING AROUND 35 MILES PER HOUR WHERE SHE HYDROPLANED THE CAR. LUCKILY WHEN SHE HIT THE CURB, THE CAR CORRECTED ITSELF AND LUCKILY THERE WAS NOTHING MORE SERIOUS. WE TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL GARAGE TO INSPECT AND UPON REVIEW, HE STATED THAT ALL 4 TIRES HAVE DRY ROT AND SHOULD BE CHANGED IMMEDIATELY. HE ADVISED US TO GO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, THEY STATED THAT THE TIRES ARE WEAR AND TEAR AND ARE NOT COVERED HOWEVER I FEEL THESE ARE DEFECTIVE TIRES. WE HAVE 26K MILES ON THE CAR AND THIS OCT. WILL BE 3 YEARS SO WE ARE AVERAGING UNDER 10K A YEAR. I AM ATTACHING PICTURES SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE ARE SPEAKING OF AND ASK YOU TO ADVISE US AND OUR DEALERSHIP WHICH IS VAN BUREN BUICK GMC LOCATED IN NEW HYDE PARK, NY. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING WITH THESE TIRES AND ASK THAT YOU STEP IN AND ASSIST US. I HAVE 2 YOUNG DAUGHTERS AND DO NOT WANT SOMETHING MORE HAPPEN UNTIL THIS IS ADDRESSED.

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE IN A VERY SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT AND I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE OUR AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WE WERE TRAVELING ON A DIAGONAL STREET IN CHICAGO AND HE WAS GOING STRAIGHT. MY RIGHT FRONT FENDER HIT HIS RIGHT FRONT FENDER. HIS AIR BAGS DEPLOYED BUT OURS DID NOT. THE ER TOLD ME IT WAS LIKELY I HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT COULD TAKE UP TO NINE MONTHS TO HEAL FROM HAVING WHIPLASH IN MY SHOULDERS AND NECK. MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A CONTUSION. WE HIT REALLY HARD I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 25 MPH AND HE WAS PROBABLY DOING 45 MPH. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. MY AIR BAGS MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE MADE THE DIFFERENCE BUT I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED.

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.

WHEN I PUT MY CAR INTO PARK TO TURN OFF MY CAR, IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF AND SAID TO PUT CAR IN PARK. I HAVE TO WIGGLE THE SHIFTER, SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES. IT HAPPENED RIGHT BEFORE WHEN MY CAR WAS IN AROUND 35,000 MILES. THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY APPOINTMENTS THAT WEEK. I HAD TO GO TO CALIFORNIA THE NEXT WEEK. I WENT IN YESTERDAY, SINCE IT WAS OVER 36,000 MILES. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE. I TOLD THEM THE SITUATION. SAID L HAD TO PAY $488.

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.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2017 GMC ACADIA ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY SON IN THE VEHICLE WHEN IT SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES FOR NO REASON. WHEN I FIRST TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY DID NOT BELIEVE ME. THEY RESEARCHED THE ISSUE THEN INFORMED ME THAT GM WAS AWARE OF THE "PHANTOM BRAKING" PROBLEM AND ISSUED A BULLETIN TO THE DEALERS. THEY SAID THE WAY TO FIX IT WAS TO REBOOT THE COMPUTER. THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME A COPY OF THE BULLETIN THAT SHOWED THE ISSUE OR THE FIX. GM KNEW THIS WAS HAPPENING IN THEIR VEHICLES AND THEY DID NOT TELL THE CAR OWNERS. IT IS A MIRACLE THAT IT DID NOT CAUSE AND ACCIDENT AND THAT NO ONE WAS HURT OR KILLED. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR BUT THEY WILL NOT LET ME OUT OF MY LEASE EARLY.

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

WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL A SQUISHING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE SOUND WAS PRESENT WHILE MOVING AND WHILE STOPPED. MASTER CYLINDER WAS LEAKING BRAKE FLUID INTO BRAKE POWER BOOSTER

WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY OR FREEWAY APPROXIMATELY 35-70 MPH, MY GMC ACADIA WILL RANDOMLY DISABLE THE STEERING ASSIST, LANE KEEP ASSIST, AND FORWARD COLLISION AUTOMATIC BRAKING AS WELL AS DISABLE THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE. THE ERROR WOULD SHOW THAT THESE FEATURES WERE DISABLED ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN AROUND THE SPEEDOMETER AND COULD NOT MANUALLY BE RE-ENABLED WITH THE BUTTONS THROUGHOUT THE CAR. HOWEVER, WHEN PULLING OVER AND TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING IT, THE FEATURE WOULD RESET AS IF NOTHING HAS WENT WRONG. SOMETIMES IT WILL REVERT BACK TO THE SAME ISSUE(S) 5-10 MINUTES LATER, AND SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL FOR A FEW DAYS OR EVEN WEEKS BEFORE STARTING BACK OVER AGAIN WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS.

THE 2017 GMC ACADIA NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION CONTROL ASSEMBLY AND THE "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE. FOR REFERENCE THIS IS TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN "TSB 18-NA-297". SOMEBODY WILL EXIT THEIR VEHICLE THINKING THAT THEY ARE IN PARK, THE MESSAGE COMES UP AND THEY IGNORE IT AND GET RAN OVER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS A QUALITY ISSUE.

I HAD A DRIVER SEATBELT MALFUNCTION RIGHT AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I NOW HAVE A SECOND ROW, DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT MALFUNCTION. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE SEATBELT FOR OVER A YEAR. I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY WERE REDESIGNING THE SEAT BELT. THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN IT WAS AVAIL, AND ALSO THAT IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. STILL NO SEATBELT.

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.

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 BE ON THIS!

SHIFTER ASSEMBLY PROBLEM. WHEN TURNING CAR OFF, YELLOW LIGHT GOES ON AND CAR REMAINS ON AFTER SHIFTING TO PARK.

WHEN PLACING VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURNING OFF IGNITION, THE MESSAGE APPEARS 'SHIFT TO PARK'. EVERYTHING IS STILL ON IN THE VEHICLE, LIGHTS RADIO ETC. SOMETIMES I CAN WIGGLE THE SHIFT CONTROLLER AND IT WILL DISAPPEAR OR SOMETIMES I HAVE TO TURN IGNITION BACK ON AND TRY AGAIN TO TURN OFF. SOMETIMES TAKES SEVERAL TIMES TO GET MESSAGE TO DISAPPEAR.

I WAS DRIVING AND THE BLIND SIAD INDICATORS QUIT WORKING . I HAD A CAR IN THE BLIND SPOT. THE MODULES ON BOTH SIDES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED 751.00

ATTEMPTED TO USE THE HORN FOR THE FIRST TIME AND DISCOVERED IT DIDNT WORK. WHEN I RETURNED HOME, I TRIED AGAIN AND NOTICED I HAD TO USE AND EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF FORCE TO.GET IT TO WORK. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT OTHER ISSUES AND THEY SAID THE HORN WORKED, JUST LIKE SIMILAR VEHICLES ON THE LOT. I EXPRESSED THE SAFETY CONCERNS I HAD, ESPECIALLY IF MY WIFE WOULD HAVE NEEDED TO USE THE HORN IN AN EMERGENCY, BUTH THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. VEHICLE'S MANUFACTURE WARRANT IS SET TO EXPIRE IN LESS THEN 4000 MILES.

GEAR SHIFT WOULD GO INTO PARK BUT WOULD NOT TURN OFF ENGINE, LOCK DOORS, TURN OFF LIGHTS. WARNING LIGHT READ TO "PLACE IN PARK."

WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AROUND A CENTER MEDIAN, WHEN THE ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE SYSTEM BEGAN FLASHING IN THE HEADS UP DISPLAY, THE SEAT VIBRATED AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO.AN ABRUPT STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THERE WERE NO NEARBY VEHICLES OR PEDESTRIANS. THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES WERE LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT RELEASE UNTIL I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THIS HAS OCCURRED IN THE DRIVE THRU LANE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL GMC DEALER. STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD FIND WRONG. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 32,000 MILES AND THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY IS SET TO EXPIRE AT 36,000 MILES.

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

AS I WAS MERGING ONTO A TRAFFIC CIRCLE AT ROUGHLY 25 MPH, THE FORWARD COLLISION DETECTION SYSTEM TURNED ITSELF ON WHEN THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME, CAUSING MY CAR TO STOP VERY SUDDENLY AND ALMOST CAUSING A VERY BAD ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T TURN THE SYSTEM OFF UNTIL I TURNED IT OFF THE ENTIRE VEHICLE THEN TURNED IT BACK ON, CAUSING WELL OVER 45 SECONDS TO A MINUTE OF TRAFFIC. I TURNED OFF ALL ANTI COLLISIONS SYSTEMS AND DROVE THE CAR BACK TO MY HOME IMMEDIATELY AFTER.

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.

VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO PARK. I KEEP GETTING AN ERROR MESSAGE TO "SHIFT TO PARK" EVEN THOUGH I AM IN PARK, AND IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. I WILL HAVE TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND PARK ABOUT 25 TIMES BEFORE IT WILL RECOGNIZE THAT IS ACTUALLY IN PARK SO I CAN TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND I AM TRYING TO TURN IT 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.

VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO PARK SO YOU CAN TURN OFF VEHICLE AND EXIT CAR. CANNOT SECURE VEHICLE. WHAT IS IS GOING TO TAKE TO GET THIS PROBLEM RECALLED? SURELY SOMEONE WILL NOT HAVE TO DIE BECAUSE A VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO PARK? THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST GMC FOR THIS ISSUE. PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING AND HAVE THEM RECALL THIS PROBLEM.
