I have the shift to park error where my car is not recognizing that it is in park and will not shut off. I have been held hostage inside my car, late for work, etc because my car will not shut off because it is not registering that it-??s in park. Also, my breaks are unbareably loud with whatever switch they made to the -??new-?? brake material.

Get the message "shift to park" The car is parked but it is not recognizing that it is in fact parked. It makes it impossible to exit the vehicle and turn it off. To get the message disappear and exit the car the gear has to be wiggled. I checked this online and previous GMC vehicles were recalled because of this. And it has a possibility of hurting the transmission as well. This happens quite often. So there no exact date.

I'm not sure what this is but I'm not reporting damage I'm reporting the factory model. This vehicle seating is not appropriate for the body size of the front of the vehicle. I've had two other acadias and I didn't have this type of issue. The side of the vehicle where the mirror is located is so large is can cover the view of two cars. And even adjusting the seat doesn't help. You literally have to lean up to loom out the front windshield to make sure you are in the correct place. It's a safety hazard and whoever manufactured this particular car did not do so well

A week ago my car started having an alert on the dash saying -??shift to park-?? when I was already presumed to be in parked. I was worried because the car wouldn-??t turn off and stayed on dinging. I couldn-??t leave my car because it was on (possibly having battery die or doors won-??t lock, etc.) I researched it and it showed many GMC Acadias have done this and previous models has recalls. As a result, the vehicle could roll away once you get out of it, putting you and the people around in great danger. Also, you may not be able to restart the vehicle once the 'Shift to Park' message is displayed, making it a terrible inconvenience especially when you're in a hurry. I took my car in to be serviced and they said it was that I needed a -??new shifter assembly-?? so $670 later and after reading that this is what mechanics first step is, but essentially may not even fix the problem kind of terrifies me. A recent recall report says that GM does not currently have a fix for the Shift to Park issue just yet, however, it does have fixes for "Shift to Park" messages that can appear in affected Acadia vehicles that are already in PARK On October 3, 2018, GM released a TSB entitled "Message Displaying Shift to Park When in Park" which instructed technicians to correct the defect by replacing the transmission control shift assembly. While there are some fixes for "Shift to Park" messages, GM still has no fix for the actual Shift to Park issue. What do we do" Pay a large fee for a possible half fixed issue"

I am getting a warning message to -??shift to park-?? when I am already in park. I have to shift back and forth for the message to go away and am not confident if the suv is in gear or not. This apparently is happening with many GMC Acadias.

Vehicle will have a message on the dash that says -??drive with care steering assist is reduced-??, the fans will come on and stay on, and the temperature hand will quit working along with air conditioner. It has not been inspected, I am not sure if the steering assist being reduced could cause any harm to myself or others.

Have to keep putting it out of the park and after 5 or 10 minutes message finally goes off and it will let me lock doors. These last couple days it had done it every time I drive

The Rear Hood was opened to get groceries. All of a sudden the hood came down on my back. I had to push the hood up manually, and tried to close with remote or with button on the hood but the Rear hood would not close. I then had to manually close the hood. On August 11, 2021 I took the car to the dealer and they replaced both Rear Hood Struts that wear leaking fluid. This SUV is only 2 years old with 16000 miles and should not be having these type of safety issues that can potentially be life threatening.

When I put Shifter in PARK, the dash indicator states the car is in PARK. I then push the Start/Stop button to turn the car off, but the dash displays car is not in PARK. Sometimes the car will not shutoff or the car just beeps until I push the Stop/Start button. I cannot lock doors to leave the car. When this occurs or when left in this state the battery runs down, which leaves me stranded. This is certainly a safety issue on various levels. It the car really in Park! What if it on a hill and starts to roll into me or someone else.. Scary!!

We are experiencing the "SHIFT TO PARK" issue on our 2019 GMC Acadia at 44,000 miles. We have been told we need to pay $200 for the fix PLUS more than $200 for the battery which has undoubtedly been impacted by the first issue. Needless to say, we are not happy that we'll be charged for a known GMC issue and we are aware there are class action suits around this issue in various states. We have been loyal GMC owners, but we are now concerned about the safety issues this presents our family. Ironically, we are searching for a new truck at this time and this recent hardship will impact our brand choice now as well as in the future. Please let us know how this issue might be rectified.

After placing my car in park, and trying to cut off the engine, it alerts me to "shift to park"... I will have to restart my engine, put it in neutral and then back to park, and try again to shut off the car. Sometimes it works on the second attempt, but usually takes 3-4 times of cutting engine off and on, shifting from park to drive to park again. If you attempt to exit the vehicle, the horn will start to honk, and alarm goes off. The car is clearly in park, the shifter can not move forward any further, and the indicator says its in "park" it is only after you press the start/stop button that the alarm indicates it needs to be "shifted into park"

First time back in June 10th, 2020, I took it in because of "remote not detected" they could not duplicate the problem, few hours later, same day after I picked the car up it went haywire while parked. It threw itself into theft mode, would not let us manually lock the car, electrical was still on but engine was shut off, alarm, windshield wipers, and lights was going off while I had it towed to the dealership. This time they've told me, the A/C condensation fried the cpu module because the only thing keeping water out of the cpu was a tray. September 9th, 2020 I take it back into the dealership because again the car kept reading "no remote detected". they claimed it was my "dash cam" that caused the issue. October 14th, 2020 the car again went haywire while in motion. This time it threw itself into theft mode, alarm went off, wipers, was reading low fuel (full tank) steering assist turned on and off, brakes started locking mid busy street, steering wheel tightened also. I barely could turn it into a neighborhood street to get off the road. I had the vehicle towed back to the dealership again, through my triple a plan for the second time because I was "out of the area" that they could send a tow truck to. They tell me again condensation got into the cpu and wasn't even sure if it'll happen again if I continue to run the A/C. I picked the car up the next week and on October 25th, 2020 the car again would not read the keys. Every incident but October 25th, 2020 incident, I have let a supervisor from GM know of the situation, his name is [xxx] ext. I have recorded even phone records of every incident that's occurred.

After jump starting car because of dead battery decided to drive to dealer 1-2 miles awa.Y. my wife followed me in car. While driving during the 1-2 mile trip the stearing would lock up (quit working) and the breaks as well.this lasted several seconds and resulted in total lack of control at 35-45 mph on a city street. The alternator was working providing electricity to the cars systems. As batteries frequently fail I believe this is a clear and present danger to the occupant and other vehicals on the road.this occurred on Sunday October 17, 2020
