WHEN I TRY TO TURN OFF MY VEHICLE, MY DASH DISPLAYS THE MESSAGE 'SHIFT TO PARK' EVEN THOUGH I'M ALREADY IN PARK. I HAVE TO JIGGLE THE SHIFTER NOB BACK AND FORTH TO GET IT TO RECOGNIZE IT IS IN PARK. IT'S HAPPENED ABOUT 80% OF THE TIME I TRY TO TURN MY CAR OFF FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.

AIR BAGS
I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. IT SHOWS A "SERVICE AIR BAG" MESSAGE. THIS WAS COVERED BY A RECALL. GM SAYS THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED ON THIS VEHICLE. BUT GM ALSO ISSUED A SB INDICATING SOME RECALL REPAIRS MAY HAVE BEEN FAULTY. I BELIEVE THIS WAS FAULTY IN THE CASE OF MY VEHICLE. A GMC DEALER LOOKED AT IT AND INDICATED THAT THE WORK WAS NOT DONE PROPERLY. GMC IS REFUSING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

MY 2017 GMC ACADIA IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS DESCRIBED IN N172097060 - SPECIAL COVERAGE SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT MODULE WATER INTRUSION MY VIN IS APPARENTLY NOT INCLUDED IN THE COVERED VEHICLES EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE IN THE SAME PART IN THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR RANGE OF THE BULLETIN. 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.

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.

POWER TRAIN, STEERING
FIRST PROBLEM IS THAT THE POWER STEERING IS HARD TO TURN WHEN NOT MOVING OR WHILE DRIVING AT SLOWER SPEEDS AS IF THERE IS NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. SECOND PROBLEM IS THE TRANSMISSION OCCASIONALLY WILL NOT SHIFT FROM 1ST GEAR WHICH WILL CAUSE ME TO PULL OVER TO A COMPLETE STOP THEN ACCELERATE AGAIN ALLOWING IT TO SHIFT.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY'S ARE MELTED AND HEADLIGHTS DON'T WORK. SEEMS THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH GMC HEADLIGHTS IN YEARS PAST THAT THEY CONTINUE TO NOT ADDRESS. I AM FURIOUS THAT DESPITE REPORTS AND RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE FROM MANY YEARS AND MANY MAKES AND MODELS THEY HAVE NOT ADDRESSED AND CONTINUE TO AVOID RECALLING ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS GARBAGE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, THAT CAUSES HEADLIGHTS TO FAIL AND INCREASES RISK OF CAR FIRE. I WANT THIS REPAIRED BY THIS GARBAGE COMPANY AND SOMETHING DONE TO MAKE THEM STOP UTILIZING THESE UNSAFE AND FAULTY ASSEMBLIES.

STEERING
MY 2016 GMC ACADIA WAS BROUGHT IN FOR A BASIC CAR INSPECTION. THE CAR HAS 54,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD IT FAILED INSPECTION DUE TO THE LEAKING OF STEERING FLUID. I NEEDED A NEW GEAR ASSEMBLY. THE CAR HAD NO ISSUES PRIOR TO THIS AND I TAKE THE CAR REGULARLY TO GMC. FORTUNATELY, I DID NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, BUT I DRIVE 60 MILES A DAY TO WORK AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. THE TOTAL COST TO HAVE IT FIXED WAS ALMOST $3,000. I DID NOT HAVE THE EXTENDED BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY, SO I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET.AFTER READING MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM, I CALLED GMC CORPORATE TO MAKE AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT WITH THEM. IF YOU OWN THIS CAR AND ARE ANYWHERE FROM 40-70K MILES, PLEASE HAVE THIS CHECKED OUT. I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN AND I COULD HAVE EASILY CRASHED IF I DIDN'T HAVE MY CAR INSPECTED. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY. PEOPLE BUY THIS SPECIFIC CAR, BECAUSE THEY HAVE CHILDREN AND WANT A SAFE VEHICLE. THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THIS ISSUE IS AWFUL. I LOVE AMERICAN CARS, BUT I AM LOSING FAITH IN THEM. PLEASE REPORT THIS PROBLEM, SO THAT MAYBE GMC WILL BE FORCED TO RECALL THE ISSUE AND SAVE LIVES.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY OR FREEWAY APPROXIMATELY 35-70 MPH, MY GMC ACADIA WILL RANDOMLY DISABLE THE STEERING ASSIST, LANE KEEP ASSIST, AND FORWARD COLLISION AUTOMATIC BRAKING AS WELL AS DISABLE THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE. THE ERROR WOULD SHOW THAT THESE FEATURES WERE DISABLED ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN AROUND THE SPEEDOMETER AND COULD NOT MANUALLY BE RE-ENABLED WITH THE BUTTONS THROUGHOUT THE CAR. HOWEVER, WHEN PULLING OVER AND TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING IT, THE FEATURE WOULD RESET AS IF NOTHING HAS WENT WRONG. SOMETIMES IT WILL REVERT BACK TO THE SAME ISSUE(S) 5-10 MINUTES LATER, AND SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL FOR A FEW DAYS OR EVEN WEEKS BEFORE STARTING BACK OVER AGAIN WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS.

STARTING ABOUT A MONTH AGO WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND THEN TURN MY VEHICLE OFF A 'SHIFT TO PARK' WARNING COMES ON AND THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE CAR IS IN PARK AND I HAVE TO SHIFT TO A DIFFERENT GEAR AND BACK TO PARK TRYING TO GET IT TO REGISTER IT IS IN PARK. SOMETIMES IT TAKES MULTIPLE TIMES OF TRYING THIS BEFORE IT WILL RECOGNIZE IT. MY VEHICLE IS PAST THE 36,000 MILES WITH ABOUT 42,000 MILES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WATER IS COLLECTED WHERE THE AMPS ARE LOCATED NEAR THE DOOR HINGES AND SHORTS THEM OUT. NOTHING THAT HAS A SOUND WORKS AFTER THAT. SO NO RADIO, BACK UP SENSOR SOUNDS, SEAT BELT REMINDERS, BLINKERS, CELL PHONE SPEAKERS, ETC. COSTS ABOUT $1000 TO GET FIXED AND WILL ONLY HAPPEN AGAIN BECAUSE OF FAULTY DRAINAGE. IT HAPPENED AFTER RAINING FOR A COUPLE DAYS. CAR WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND THE SOUND HAS NEVER COME BACK ON. *TR
