2017 GMC ACADIA Complaints

MY VEHICLE IS STARTING TO NOT RECOGNIZE THE SHIFTER BEING IN PARK, THEREFORE WILL NOT SHUT DOWN. THE SHIFTER IS MOVED TO PARK BUT THE CAR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE IT AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF. IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN NOW. I HAVE TO WIGGLE IT AROUND SEVERAL TIMES, AND SOMETIMES TAKE IT BACK OUT FOR ANOTHER SHORT DRIVE BEFORE IT FINALLY RECOGNIZES THAT THE CAR IS IN PARK WHEN I WANT TO GET OUT.

WHEN SHIFTING TO PARK AND SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF MESSAGE DISPLAYS SHIFT TO PARK. I HAVE HAD THE SHIFTER CABLE REPLACED AND 3 MONTHS LATER IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS ANOTHER ISSUE BUT GM CANNOT FIGURE THE ISSUE OUT.

EVERY TIME I PARK MY VEHICLE. IT IS IN PARK BUT A MESSAGE DISPLAYS TELLING ME TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND IT WILL NOT SHUT OFF.

SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM WARNING CAME ON LAST YEAR. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP SINCE I HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER PROBLEMS LIKE THIS. DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO FIX BECAUSE I HAD TAKEN A LIGHT HIT TO THE REAR FENDER AREA WHERE THE SENSOR IS ON 02/06/2016. FRIENDS TOLD ME THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES SO I LOOKED ONLINE AND WAS APPALLED AT THE COMPLAINTS! I AM RETIRED AND ON A FIXED INCOME AND CAN'T AFFORD THE $1,600 OR MORE RIGHT NOW. AS A SENIOR THIS WAS A REASON I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. NOW THAT IT DOES NOT WORK I HAVE TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL WITH BLIND SPOTS! THIS WARNING CAME ON AND FUNCTION STOPPED WORKING WHEN CAR WAS TURNED ON.

WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS IN PARK & I WAS GOING TO TURN IT OFF IT GAVE ME THIS MESSAGE ACTION TO PARK WHEN IN PARK. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP & NOTHING CAN BE DONE.

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE IN A VERY SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT AND I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE OUR AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WE WERE TRAVELING ON A DIAGONAL STREET IN CHICAGO AND HE WAS GOING STRAIGHT. MY RIGHT FRONT FENDER HIT HIS RIGHT FRONT FENDER. HIS AIR BAGS DEPLOYED BUT OURS DID NOT. THE ER TOLD ME IT WAS LIKELY I HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT COULD TAKE UP TO NINE MONTHS TO HEAL FROM HAVING WHIPLASH IN MY SHOULDERS AND NECK. MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A CONTUSION. WE HIT REALLY HARD I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 25 MPH AND HE WAS PROBABLY DOING 45 MPH. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. MY AIR BAGS MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE MADE THE DIFFERENCE BUT I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED.

WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE, I GET AN ALERT "ACTION REQUIRED SHIFT TO PARK" AND THE VEHICLE IS ALREADY IN PARK. THIS STARTED WHEN I HAD APPROXIMATELY 35,900 MILES ON THE VEHICLE BUT BY THE TIME I GOT AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER, I WAS OVER 36,000 MILES SO THEY SAY IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY ANYMORE. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING, BUT GMC STILL HASN'T INITIATED ANY KIND OF RECALL WHEN THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT I'M SURE THEY KNOW ABOUT.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK, THE CAR DISPLAYS A MESSAGE 'SHIFT TO PARK' AND WILL NOT LET YOU TURN THE CAR OFF. THIS IS CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO TURN CAR ON AND OFF AND MOVE IT FROM DRIVE TO PARK UNTIL IT REGISTERS.

I GOT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2016 IT HAS APPROX43000 MILES ON IT. LAST TUESDAY IT WOULD NOT START NOTHING WORKED TOWED TO THE GMX DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS A MAP LIGHT!!!! AND IT RAN THE BATTERY DOWN WELL TODAY IT DID THE SAME THING I DO NOT BELIEVE IT WAS THE BATTERY THE SAME DAY IT WENT OUT I RECEIVED A APPLICAION DOWNLOAD, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT WAS. I PAID ALOT OF MONEY FOR THIS VWHICLE AND I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE THIS PROBLEM CAUSES DEATH ' THE VEHICLE IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP-I CALLED TO REORT THIS PROBLEN TO GMC THE FIRST EVENING NOTING WAS DONE EITHER, CALLED GMC RO TOE DIDNT EVEN SHOW UP

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THIS VEHICLE HAS, WITH NO WARNING, EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING FOR 2-10 SECONDS PER EVENT. #1 JUNE - 2018 (APROX MILEAGE 30K+): WHILE EXITING THE FREEWAY OFFRAMP AND SLOWING BELOW 40MPH, MY WIFE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER STEERING FOR 1-2 SECONDS BEFORE REGAINING POWER STEERING. WENT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED TO BE OK, CND (COULD NOT DUPLICATE). #2 11-18-2018 (MILEAGE 46171): WHILE SLOWING AND TURNING LEFT INTO OUR DRIVE WAY THE CAR EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING FOR 5-10 SECONDS. I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP AND SNAP A PICTURE OF THE FOLLOWING ERROR MSG: ACTION REQUIRED, STEERING ASSIST IS REDUCED DRIVE WITH CARE. THIS TIME WE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH PICTURES AND AGAIN CND. #3 6-9-2019 (MILEAGE 64916): WHILE COMING OUT OF A LEFT HAND TURN, AT APROX 5MPH AND SLOWING, I BEGAN TO NAVIGATE A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING LOT WHEN I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS AND RETURN OF POWER STEERING. THE INCIDENT LASTED APRON 2-3 SECONDS, ENOUGH TIME TO HER MY PASSENGER TAKE A PICTURE OF THE FOLLOWING ERROR MSG: ACTION REQUIRED, STEERING ASSIST IS REDUCED DRIVE WITH CARE. I AM TAKING THIS VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH PICTURES OF THE WARNING AND MILEAGE FOR A SECOND TIME. I HAVE NOTICE THAT GM HAD RECALLED NUMEROUS VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM FROM 2017 TILL NOW. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V586. GM'S OWN NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS 18289. DO THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE ADDED TO INITIATE A FIX?
