2017 GMC ACADIA Complaints

I BOUGHT A 2017 GMC ACADIA, AND HAVE NOT EVEN MADE A PAYMENT ON IT YET. IT JUST PASSED THE 36000 MILE MARK. I HAVE BEEN GETTING A SHIFT TO PARK WARNING EACH TIME I PARK TO SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SAYS IT IS IN PARK, BUT IT KEEPS SENDING THE WARNING. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND THEN DRIVE SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT WILL TURN OFF WITHOUT THE WARNING. *TR

BEGINNING IN MAY, 2020, MY ACADIA STARTED SAYING "SHIFT TO PARK" WHEN I WOULD TRY TO SHUT IT OFF, ALTHOUGH IT IS IN PARK. IT HAS INCREASINGLY GOTTEN WORSE AND IT NOW HAPPENS EVERY DAY. THIS MORNING. I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR, MOVE BACKWARDS, FORWARDS, SHUT OFF CAR AND REPEAT 7 TIMES BEFORE IT FINALLY LET ME SHUT THE CAR OFF WITHOUT THE WARNING. *TR

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

WHEN I'M IN PARK, THE VEHICLE TELLS ME I NEED TO SHIFT TO PARK BEFORE I CAN TURN IT OFF. *TR

WHEN CAR IS IN PARK AND THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE IS PRESSED A ACTION REQUIRED SHIFT TO PARK MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE IT IS IN PARK AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF. *TR

MY CAR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT IT HAS BEEN PUT IN PARK IT DINGS AND TELLS ME TO PUT IN PARK FORTUNATELY BY SHIFTING AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF . I AM AFRAID OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN I CAN NOT SHUT IT OFF . THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN MAY 2020.HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. *TR

I RECEIVE A 'SHIFT TO PARK' WARNING MESSAGE WHEN MY VEHICLE IS CLEARLY IN THE PARK POSITION AND IT PREVENTS MY CAR FROM BEING ABLE TO COMPLETELY TURN OFF. I HAVE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED AT THE GMC DEALERSHIP ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND IT IS NOW GIVING ME THE SAME ERROR. I AM NOW NO LONGER ABLE TO OPEN MY GARAGE DOOR FROM MY VEHICLE, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES IN WHICH THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE EITHER ONE OF MY KEY FOBS.
