2017 GMC ACADIA HAS 'SHIFT TO PARK' ERROR FOR THE LAST 6 MTHS. WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE CAR IS IN PARK AND WILL NOT TURN CAR OFF COMPLETELY. IT HAS CAUSED OTHER ISSUES WITH THE CAR LIKE BATTERY/CAR HESITATING TO START IN THE MORNING. ALSO THE RADIO/BLUETOOTH NOT DISCONNECTING AFTER TURNING CAR OFF. YOU HAVE. THIS IS A LONG PROCESS TO GET THE CAR TO REALIZE IT IS IN PARK. AFTER TURNING CAR ON AND OFF, SHIFTING CAR OUT OF PARK AND BACK INTO PARK. AND ALSO WIGGLING THE SHIFT GEAR. THIS AFTER KNOWING IT IS AN ON HOING ISSUE FOR WELL OVER A YEAR IS STILL NOT A RECALL AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT MADE A FIX FOR THIS.

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.

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.
