2018 GMC Acadia

MY 2018 GMC ACADIA WAS BOUGHT NEW. IT HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE SHIFTER REGARDING "SHIFT TO PARK". WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PLACED IN PARK THE SENSORS OR COMPUTER DOES NOT RECOGNIZE IT AND YOU HAVE TO SHIFT IN AND OUT OF PARK TO GET IT RECOGNIZED. MY CAR HAS ROUGHLY 42OOO MILES ONLY AND WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I CALLED MY LOCAL GMC DEALER IN NEW JERSEY AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER RECALL, IT IS A KNOWN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND MY VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THEY WANTED 400.00+ TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR ISSUE. UPON AN INTERNET SEARCH I LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. I FEEL AS A CONSUMER THAT GMC SHOULD GENERATE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE REGARDING "SHIFT TO PARK". THANK YOU

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN A STAND STILL AND TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WOULD START TO BING, LIGHTS WOULD STAY ON, AND DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK. THE SHIFT TO PARK MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GET REPAIRED WHERE THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION MODE SWITCH WAS REPLACED, HOWEVER THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (CHESROWN CHEVROLET BUICK GMC LOCATED AT 1701 COLUMBUS PIKE, DELAWARE, OH 43015) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFTIER ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS OF YET. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE, HOWEVER NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 38,000. *DT THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE DISPLAY "SHIFT INTO PARK" ERROR. WHEN PLACING IT IN PARK. THE VEHICLE'S HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED, AS WELL AS THE RADIO. ALSO, THE DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK. THE CONSUMER STATED THE SECTION OF THE SHIFTER THAT BOLTS INTO THE FLOOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. JS

WHEN TRYING TO PUT IN PARK WON'T SHUT OFF SAYS SHIFT TO PARK, STARTED AROUND 25,000 MILES HAVE TO BE SURE VEHICLE IS LEVEL AND NOT ON AN INCLINE. VEHICLE ALSO SURGES AT TIMES LOOSING POWER WHEN YOU'RE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. ALSO, AT TIMES WHEN YOU GO TO START VEHICLE IT WILL HESITATE AND DISCONNECTS FROM BATTERY THUS RESETTING EVERYTHING. HAD TO REPLACE BATTERY AT 25,000 . THE REAR WIPER WILL GO ON IT'S ON WITHOUT TURNING IT ON.

"SHIFT TO PARK" ISSUE. WHEN OUR 2018 GMC ACADIA IS PLACED IN PARK, THE DIC DISPLAYS THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN PARK WHEN IT IS INDEED IN PARK. NEVER SURE IF TRANSMISSION IS TRULY IN THE PARK POSITION AND CANNOT ROLL, BUT THERE IS NO CONFIRMATION OF THIS. THIS INDICATION FAILURE PREVENTS US FROM LEAVING THE VEHICLE FOR A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF TIME UNTIL WE (IF EVER) SEE THE PROPER "PARK" INDICATION.

EVERY TIME I PARK AND TRY TO SHUT CAR OFF THE CAR REFUSES TO TURN OFF AND GIVES A MESSAGE THAT SAYS SHIFT TO PARK. REQUIRES 20+ ATTEMPTS OF RESTARTING, SHIFTING OUT OF PARK AND BACK INTO IT BEFORE SUCCEEDING. CAR IS CLEARLY IN PARK, NOT ROLLING BUT I'M UNABLE TO TURN OFF CAR FULLY. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING THE LAST MONTH OR TWO. I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW.
