2017 GMC Acadia

UPON TURNING VEHICLE OFF, "SHIFT TO PARK!" ILLUMINATES ON THE CLUSTER. VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OFF UNTIL IT IS RE-STARTED, SHIFTED IN AND OUT OF GEAR. SOMETIMES THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE MULTIPLE TIMES. THERE HAS BEEN ONE INSTANCE THE ERROR WOULD NOT CLEAR, AND I WAS FORCED TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE ON, AS I WENT INTO A DOCTOR APPOINTMENT. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING, NOT TO MENTION THE WASTED FUEL WITH STARTING/STOPPING THE VEHICLE 5-10 TIMES EACH TIME I TURN IT OFF. I'VE TAKEN VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IT IS TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD HERE. RIDICULOUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF AND THE ENGINE RAN FOR HOURS. EVENTUALLY, THE INTERNAL SYSTEM RECOGNIZED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND FINALLY TURNED ITSELF OFF. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT DONE ANYTHING TO ADDRESS THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THEY ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 18-NA-297 ON DECEMBER 13, 2018. THE CONTACT CALLED NUMEROUS UNKNOWN DEALERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO TRY TO BUY THE PART MENTIONED IN THE SERVICE BULLETIN, BUT THE PART WAS STILL ON BACKORDER. THE PART THAT WAS NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER ASSEMBLY (NUMBER: 13528228). THE COST OF THE PART WAS LESS THAN $150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF ITS INITIAL WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,500. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. *TR

THE CAR WILL NOT RECOGNIZE OR SHIFT TO PARK.. THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF WHILE THE SHIFTER IS IN PARK THINKING THAT THE CAR ISN'T IN PARK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE YOU BELIEVE IT IS IN PARK WHEN THE CAR IS SAYING IT ISN'T AND WILL NOT CLEAR THE ALERT UNLESS YOU CONTINUOUSLY TURN THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF AND TOGGLE THE SHIFTER. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE ISSUE BEING REPORTED

WHEN PARKING THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTING TO SHUT OFF, THE ACADIA GIVES THE MESSAGE "SHIFT TO PARK". THE VEHICLE IS CLEARLY IN PARK AND I MUST START THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND SHIFT TO REVERSE OR ANOTHER POSITION AND TURN OFF. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO LOCK THE VEHICLE AND KEEPS POWER TO THE VEHICLE (DRAINING THE BATTERY) UNTIL IT RECOGNIZES THAT IT IS INDEED IN PARK. THIS HAS CAUSED A STALL AND THE VEHICLE TO POSSIBLY STILL BE IN GEAR WHEN PARKED LEADING TO A ROLLING HAZARD. HAS TAKEN AS MANY AS 15 TIMES FOR THE VEHICLE TO REALIZE IT IS IN PARK. GENERAL MOTORS HAS ISSUED A TSB (18-NA-297) REGARDING THIS ISSUE, BUT IS PLACING THE COST OF THE FIX ON THE CONSUMER. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT HAS STARTED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

AT RANDOM TIMES, WHEN PARKING MY VEHICLE, AFTER PLACING IT IN 'PARK' AND SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF, THE DIC WARNS TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN 'PARK' EVEN WHEN THE SHIFT LEVER IS IN 'PARK'. I HAVE TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN, SHIFT THE VEHICLE FROM 'PARK TO 'DRIVE' AND THEN BACK TO 'PARK', SHUTCTHE VEHICLE OFF AND THE WARNING ON THE DLC GOES AWAY. THIS IS STARTING TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN, EVERY 3-5 START-STOP CYCLES.

SHIFT TO PARK RECALL - THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. MY ACADIA WAS IN PARK AND I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND I GOT AN ERROR CODE THAT SAID ACTION REQUIRED SHIFT TO PARK. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON PUT IT IN DRIVE AND BACK INTO PARK AND TURN THE CAR OFF THE STOP THE BEEPING. I SPOKE TO FLEMINGTON GMC AND THIS ISSUE IS NOT A RECALL. THIS MAKES NO SENSE TO ME THE ERROR CODE READS ACTION REQUIRED SHIFT TO PARK. WHICH CLEARLY MEANS THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK IF IT'S TELLING YOU TO SHIFT TO PARK WHEN YOU ALREADY PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF USING THE START STOP BUTTON. I AM STILL WAITING FOR A PHONE CALL FROM AMBER AT GMC AS I WAS SUPPOSE TO BE CALLED ON 9/3/19 REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
