2018 GMC ACADIA Complaints

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.

DRIVES SIDE SEATBELT BASE RELEASE LATCH. SEATBELT WILL NO LONGER LATCH. SEAT BELT WAS NOT PULLED, OCCURRED WHILE CAR WAS IN PARK.

WHEN YOU SHIFT INTO PARK, THE CHIMES START GOING OFF AND THE DASHBOARD MESSAGE SAYS 'SHIFT INTO PARK'. I HAVE TO WIGGLE THE SHIFT UNTIL IT SHUTS OFF. SOMETIMES IT TAKES A LOT MORE WIGGLING THAN OTHERS. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT 90% OF THE TIME. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE WE PURCHASED IT.

GEAR SHIFTER MOVES TO PARK POSITION BUT INDICATORS AND ENGINE OFF SWITCH WILL NOT SWITCH TO PARK STATE WITHOUT JIGGLING SHIFTER HANDLE TIP.

WHEN I TRY TO TURN OFF MY VEHICLE, MY DASH DISPLAYS THE MESSAGE 'SHIFT TO PARK' EVEN THOUGH I'M ALREADY IN PARK. I HAVE TO JIGGLE THE SHIFTER NOB BACK AND FORTH TO GET IT TO RECOGNIZE IT IS IN PARK. IT'S HAPPENED ABOUT 80% OF THE TIME I TRY TO TURN MY CAR OFF FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.

THE VEHICLE FAILS TO DETECT WHEN I MOVE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTO PARK POSITION. I HAVE TO TRY TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON AND SOMETIMES HAVE TO DRIVE IN IN IT AGAIN AND THEN ATTEMPT TO SHIFT IT TO PARK AND SHUT IT OFF AGAIN. SOMETIMES IT WON'T SHUT OFF, AND THEN I'M STRANDED.

SHIFT TO PARK . WOULD NOT SHUT DOWN OR COULD NOT LOCK VEHICLE. WARNING LIGHT & BEEPING SOUND. *TR

THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF WHEN PUT IN PARK WHEN THE CAR WAS STOPPED. THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OFF, BUT THE ELECTRICAL DEVICES (LIGHTS, RADIO, ODOMETER READINGS, ETC.) WOULD REMAIN ENGAGED. THE WARNING INDICATOR SAID THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN PARK AND IT WOULD TAKE 5-10 MINUTES OF TURNING THE ENGINE ON AND OFF, AND SHIFTING BACK AND FORTH IN AND OUT OF GEAR BEFORE THE CAR WOULD TURN OFF COMPLETELY. A SEARCH ON LINE INDICATED SEVERAL PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. THIS CAR IS 2 YRS OLD WITH LESS THAN 40K MILES. IT WAS MAINTAINED AS A COMPANY LEASED VEHICLE BY US BEFORE BEING PURCHASED BY US, SO WE KNOW IT HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED. WE ENDED UP HAVING TO HAVE THE SHIFT COLUMN REPLACED. *TR

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.
