2017 GMC ACADIA Complaints

THE "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE COMES ON AFTER I PARK THE CAR. I HAVE TO WIGGLE THE GEAR SHIFT BACK AND FORTH TO GET IT TO GO OFF OR THE CAR STAYS ON ELECTRONICALLY. THE DOOR LOCKS GO ON/OFF (AND UP AND DOWN) WHILE DRIVING (PURPORTEDLY DUE TO THE CAR GOING IN AND OUT OF PARK WHILE DRIVING) WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY (47,000 MILES) MY DEALERSHIP SAID IT WOULD BE $700-$800 TO FIX THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH GMC HAS PUT OUT A BULLETIN TO TELL THE DEALERSHIPS HOW TO FIX IT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. IF THE CAR ISN'T READING IT'S IN PARK, IT COULD ROLL AND CAUSE INJURY AND DAMAGE. THIS HAS HAPPENED PRETTY REGULARLY FOR 2 WEEKS GOING ON 3 WEEKS.

TL* THE CONTACT'S FATHER OWNS A 2017 GMC ACADIA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S FATHER WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BENT INWARDLY INTO THE WHEEL WELL. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A CURB. THE VEHICLE RECEIVED BODY DAMAGE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVESHAFT FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. SUMMIT CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (LOCATED AT 318 GRANT AVE, AUBURN, NY 13021, 315-258-2000) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V516000 (POWER TRAIN), BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

SHIFT TO PARK ERROR WHEN CAR IS CORRECTLY IN PARK. THIS DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO SHUT OFF YOUR ENGINE. I HAVE HAD THE SHIFTER REPLACE TWICE ALREADY AT THE DEALERSHIP. I KNOW IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

I HAVE A 2017 ACADIA. WHEN THE CAR IS SHIFTED INTO PARK, THE DASHBOARD SHOWS A WARNING THAT SAYS "SHIFT TO PARK" EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS ALREADY IN PARK. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES AND SLAM THE SHIFTER INTO PARK UNTIL THE CAR FINALLY REGISTERS THAT IT'S IN PARK.. IF I LEAVE THE CAR LIKE THAT, ALL THE ELECTRICAL STUFF STAYS ON AND MY BATTERY WILL DIE. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK AND SEEMS TO BE IN GEAR OR AT LEAST IN NEUTRAL BECAUSE IT WILL ROLL. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND HAPPENS ON A DAILY OCCURRENCE.

MY 2017 GMC ACADIA HAS A "SHIFTER" PROBLEM. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK BUT I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT STATES "SHIFT TO PARK" AND THE CAR DOESN'T COMPLETELY TURN OFF EVEN THOUGH YOU TURN THE CAR OFF PHYSICALLY. SOME ELECTRONICS STAY ON LIKE THE RADIO AND HEADLIGHTS. YOU CANNOT COMPLETELY SHUT THE CAR DOWN - AGAIN - EVEN WHEN YOU PHYSICALLY TURN THE CAR OFF. THE CAR IS IN PARK AND STOPPED.

THE BREAK LIGHTS WOULD STAY ON AFTER PARKING THE CAR RESULTING IN A DEAD BATTERY IN ONE OCCASION. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED BREAK PARTS TWO TIMES AND EVEN KEPT THE CAR FOR ONE WEEK FOR SAFETY REASONS. THE PROBLEM IS BACK AND SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE ON 10/14/19.

WHEN I TURN MY CAR OFF, I AM GETTING A 'SHIFT TO PARK' ERROR CODE EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS IN PARK. IF YOU IGNORE IT, THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT IS STILL ON, LIGHTS AND RADIO WON'T TURN OFF. WHEN I GOT MY SON OUT OF HIS CAR SEAT THE CAR STARTED MOVING A LITTLE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS OFF AND IN PARK. YOU HAVE TO TURN THE CAR ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES AND SHIFT THE CAR AROUND TO DIFFERENT SETTINGS UNTIL IT JUST DECIDES IT'S FINALLY IN PARK. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND WHAT HAPPENS IF ONE DAY IT JUST DECIDES IT WON'T GO INTO PARK NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU TRY AND APPARENTLY THROUGH RESEARCH THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON ISSUE YET A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED.

VEHICLE WARNING LIGHT SAYS "SHIFT TO PARK" WHEN CAR IS STOPPED AND SHIFTER IS PUT INTO PARK. VEHICLE WILL NOT SHUT DOWN PROPERLY.

VEHICLE DISPLAYS SHIFT TO PARK MESSAGE WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK. IT DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO TURN THE CAR OFF.

VEHICLE STATES, 'SHIFT TO PARK,' WHEN TRYING TO TURN OFF ENGINE WHEN IT IS ALREADY IN PARK. TURN VEHICLE BACK ON AND HAVE TO SHIFT MULTIPLE TIMES OUT AND THEN BACK INTO PARK BEFORE CAR WILL RECOGNIZE IT IS IN FACT IN PARK TO SHUT DOWN ENTIRE ENGINE. HAVE REPLACED BATTERY ONCE ALREADY. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND FOOT IS ON BREAK WHEN TRYING TO TURN CAR OFF. HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE PURCHASE BUT, JUST GOT FED UP WITH IT.
