2017 GMC Acadia

1. THE BATTERY TOTALLY DIES AFTER SITTING FOR 3 DAYS. 2. SOMETIMES A WARNING MESSAGE APPEARS "SHIFT INTO PARK" WHEN THE SHIFTING HANDLE IS IN PARK AND SOMETIMES PREVENTS TURNING THE ENGINE OFF. SOMETIMES AFTER TRYING SEVERAL TIMES IT STOPS THE ENGINE BUT DASH LIGHTS REMAIN ON. DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THEY DO NOT HAVE A DEFINATIVE SOLUTION.

WITH VEHICLE STATIONARY, I ATTEMPTED TO PLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN "PARK" AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. THE DASHBOARD INFORMATION SCREEN DISPLAYED THE MESSAGE "SHIFT TO PARK" AND WOULD NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO FULLY SHUT DOWN (HEADLIGHTS REMAINED ON) EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFT KNOB WAS IN "PARK" AS WELL AS "P" DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN. THE ELECTRONIC EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS INOPERABLE AND THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE AT RISK OF ROLLING AWAY. THIS LEFT ME STRANDED WITH THE VEHICLE AND UNABLE TO REMOVE MYSELF FROM IT.

I HAD A DRIVER SEATBELT MALFUNCTION RIGHT AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I NOW HAVE A SECOND ROW, DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT MALFUNCTION. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE SEATBELT FOR OVER A YEAR. I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY WERE REDESIGNING THE SEAT BELT. THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN IT WAS AVAIL, AND ALSO THAT IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. STILL NO SEATBELT.

SHIFT TO PARK MESSAGE APPEARS WHEN VEHICLE HAS BEEN SHIFTED INTO PARK. CAR DOESN'T TURN OFF. TAKES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TRYING TO JIGGLE SHIFT LEVER, SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO PARK, OR CLICK SHIFT LEVER BUTTON BEFORE MESSAGE DISAPPEARS. DEALER REPLACED WIRING HARNESS FEB 2020, MESSAGE STARTED APPEARING AGAIN WITHIN THE LAST WEEK (JULY 5 2020)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE WHEN THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION CAUSING THE BATTERY TO BECOME DRAINED. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE WITH THE GEAR SHIFTER IN NEUTRAL. RANDY WISE BUICK GMC (2530 OWEN RD, FENTON, MI 48430, (810)936-4300 STATED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED AND THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO PARK SO YOU CAN TURN OFF VEHICLE AND EXIT CAR. CANNOT SECURE VEHICLE. WHAT IS IS GOING TO TAKE TO GET THIS PROBLEM RECALLED? SURELY SOMEONE WILL NOT HAVE TO DIE BECAUSE A VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO PARK? THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST GMC FOR THIS ISSUE. PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING AND HAVE THEM RECALL THIS PROBLEM.

IT IS ALSO MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS ISSUE CAN CAUSE ADDITIONAL SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE THAT ARE POTENTIALLY VERY SERIOUS.. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALER WHO VERIFIED IT IS THE SAME CORROSION ISSUE DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN.
