2017 GMC ACADIA Complaints

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.

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.

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 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.

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

VEHICLE WHEN SHIFT TO PARK WOULD INDICATE THE SHIFT WAS NOT IN PARK. WHEN I GOT THE VEHICLE NEW IS WHEN IT STARTED. I HAVE PUT UP WITH IT BY PRESSING HARD ON THE GEAR SHIFT AND CHECKING IT BEFORE TURNING THE CAR OFF.

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.

"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.

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

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.
