2017 GMC ACADIA Complaints

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.

LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT COMES ON AND BRAKE FLUID WAS ACTUALLY LOW WITH NO SIGNS OF LEAKS. FILLED BRAKE FLUID AND 3 DAYS LATER IS WAS LOW AGAIN AND STILL NO SIGNS OF A LEAK.

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

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

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 .

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
