2017 GMC Acadia

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 GMC ACADIA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR CONDITIONER SPONTANEOUSLY TURNED ON TO THE HIGH SETTING ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RAY SKILLMAN SOUTHSIDE BUICK GMC (8424 US-31, INDIANAPOLIS, IN 46227, (317) 497-0711) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING AS DESIGNED AND A BENEFICIAL FEATURE THAT WAS ACTIVATED WITH THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. *TR

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OFF. IT KEEPS STATING THAT IT IS NOT IN PARK. HAVE MOVED SHIFTER BETWEEN GEARS REPEATEDLY, THE DASH DISPLAY SAYS IT IS IN PARK, THE CONSOLE SAYS IT IS IN PARK, BUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON FLAT SURFACES, AND INCLINES. THE END RESULT IS A VEHICLE THAT THINKS IT IS ON, WONT LOCK DOORS, AND KILLS THE BATTERY DUE TO REMAINING IN THE ON POSITION.

I HAVE SEVERAL THINGS THAT HAS WENT WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE SINCE I HAD BOUGHT IT TWO MONTHS AFTER I GOT IT IT WAS IN THE SHOP SOMETIMES WHENEVER I PARKED IT WOULD NOT RESTART BRAKE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON I'VE HAD MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME SERVICE BRAKE LIGHT HAS CAME ON I'VE HAD THE MIDDLE SEAT BELT REPLACED TWICE NOTHING STUCK IN IT IT JUST WILL NOT LATCH IT IS BACK IN THE SHOP NOW WHENEVER I PUT IT IN PARK IT IS TELLING ME TO SHIFT IT INTO PARK I HAD MY CAR FOR TWO YEARS AND WITH IN THE TWO YEARS IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 15 TIMES SO MUCH FOR HAVING A NEW CAR AND IN JOYING IT

OUR 2017 GMC ACADIA DENALI IS EXPERIENCING "ACTION REQUIRED" "SHIFT TO PARK" ALERT ON THE DASH. THE INDICATOR ON THE DASH SHOWS THE CAR IS IN "P" FOR PARK AND THE SHIFTER IS PLACED INTO THE PARK POSITION. THE ONLY RESOLVE FOR THIS ERROR TO GO AWAY IS PUSHING BACK AND FORTH ON THE SHIFTER UNTIL FINALLY SOMETIMES UP TO TEN MINUTES, THE SYSTEM RECOGNIZED THAT THE CAR IS ACTUALLY IN PARK. IF YOU DO NOT SPEND THE TIME TO TRY AND MAKE THE SYSTEM RECOGNIZE THAT SHIFTER IS IN THE PARKED POSITION THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO TRY ALERT YOU WITH DINGING INSIDE THE CAR AND THEN HONKING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO WHICH HAS BEEN REPORTED BY SEVERAL PEOPLE UPON OUR INVESTIGATION AFTER EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM. THE PART TO WHICH IS NEEDED TO FIX THIS ISSUE IS CURRENTLY ON BACKORDER PER OUR LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP TO WHICH THERE IS NO ESTIMATED TIME TO RECEIVE THE PART IN TO RESOLVE OUR ISSUE. WE ARE BEING TOLD IT COULD TAKE "WEEKS" PRIOR TO THIS PART BEING RECEIVED TO FIX THE ISSUE.

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.

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

WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THE CARS BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING UP WHEN SOMETHING TRIGGERS THE COLLISION SAFETY BREAK. SPECIFICALLY WHEN CROSSING RAIL ROAD TRACKS AFTER A TRAIN HAS PAST. AS A RESULT THE CAR STOPS COMPLETELY AND AUTOMATICALLY WHILE ON RAILROAD TRACKS AND WON'T ALLOW YOU TO MOVE. YOU HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, WAIT (ON RAILRAOD TRACKS) AND THEN ATTEMPT TO MOVE BUT IT MAY ACTIVATE IT AGAIN SO YOU HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN. MEANWHILE YOU ARE ON TRACKS, WITH CARS BEHIND YOU HONKING AND SCREAMING. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, REPORTED IT TO OUR DEALER, SERVICE AND GMC CORPORATE WHERE NOTHING WAS DONE. THEY SAID THEY WOULD PUT IN A "BLACK BOX" LIKE DEVICE BUT NEVER DID. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY AND ONE THAT GMC IS NOT ADDRESSING ADAQUATELY.
