My Acadia engine light came on when I put it in drive won't go anywhere. Acadia doors keep unlocking and locking was at my house in driveway. Engine light went off everything is fine. Took it to dealership and they said it's the transmission module making car think it's in park but can't fix it unless my engine light is on when I get it to them. Question from me is if it's thinking it's in park what if I'm driving 55 and it thinks it's in park I'll wreck. I feel my family is driving in a dangerous vehicle that the dealership knows what's wrong and where the problem resides but won't fix because my engine light isn't on. That doesn't make a bit of sense to

While driving the car it lost power, all the dash light went off, then the power steering shut down, while driving 45 miles an hr. Once able to pull over, the car shut down and could not start back up. The key would not come out of ignition. Had it towed to the local dealer the car was bought from. They reported it was the engine control module which they replaced but the car still will not turn on. Now the say it is an electrical short and can't find it.. this car is dangerous to drive as this is the second time this has happened and we feel that they are just giving us the run around. This car has been in the shop multiple times and never fixed properly

All wheel drive turned off while driving up straight up a hill with 2-3 feet of snow. Could not get the car to move in any gear except reverse. If there had been uphill traffic, I would have been rear ended because it stopped moving.
