The contact owns a 2010 GMC Acadia. While pulling into the driveway, the vehicle was placed in park. The contact attempted to open the liftgate and it closed by accident. The contact attempted to re-open the liftgate, but it did not open. The contact noticed a "liftgate open" message illuminated by the gears, which caused the interior lighting to remain illuminated while driving.
