I BOUGHT A 2017 GMC ACADIA, AND HAVE NOT EVEN MADE A PAYMENT ON IT YET. IT JUST PASSED THE 36000 MILE MARK. I HAVE BEEN GETTING A SHIFT TO PARK WARNING EACH TIME I PARK TO SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SAYS IT IS IN PARK, BUT IT KEEPS SENDING THE WARNING. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND THEN DRIVE SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT WILL TURN OFF WITHOUT THE WARNING. *TR

BEGINNING IN MAY, 2020, MY ACADIA STARTED SAYING "SHIFT TO PARK" WHEN I WOULD TRY TO SHUT IT OFF, ALTHOUGH IT IS IN PARK. IT HAS INCREASINGLY GOTTEN WORSE AND IT NOW HAPPENS EVERY DAY. THIS MORNING. I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR, MOVE BACKWARDS, FORWARDS, SHUT OFF CAR AND REPEAT 7 TIMES BEFORE IT FINALLY LET ME SHUT THE CAR OFF WITHOUT THE WARNING. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I STARTED HAVING STEERING PROBLEMS WHEN I WOULD SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A TURN ON A CITY STREET. THE STEERING WAS VERY TIGHT. UNSAFE CONDITION WITHOUT WARNING. I HAD THE POWER STEERING UNIT REPLACED, THEN I WAS TOLD THE RACK AND PINION HAD METAL IN THEM AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO FLUSH OUT THE METAL. I PICKED UP THE CAR TODAY AFTER A COST OF $2,200. DROVE HOME ON CITY STREETS, SAME PROBLEM ONLY TIGHTER TURNING. CALLED THE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD TO RETURN THE CAR. JUST LUCK I HAVE ANOTHER CAR TO DRIVE. SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF WHEN PUT IN PARK WHEN THE CAR WAS STOPPED. THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OFF, BUT THE ELECTRICAL DEVICES (LIGHTS, RADIO, ODOMETER READINGS, ETC.) WOULD REMAIN ENGAGED. THE WARNING INDICATOR SAID THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN PARK AND IT WOULD TAKE 5-10 MINUTES OF TURNING THE ENGINE ON AND OFF, AND SHIFTING BACK AND FORTH IN AND OUT OF GEAR BEFORE THE CAR WOULD TURN OFF COMPLETELY. A SEARCH ON LINE INDICATED SEVERAL PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. THIS CAR IS 2 YRS OLD WITH LESS THAN 40K MILES. IT WAS MAINTAINED AS A COMPANY LEASED VEHICLE BY US BEFORE BEING PURCHASED BY US, SO WE KNOW IT HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED. WE ENDED UP HAVING TO HAVE THE SHIFT COLUMN REPLACED. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SHIFT TO PARK KNOWN ISSUE HAS STARTED. I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 1 YR. 5 MONTHS. I KNOW THERE ARE LAWSUITS ON THIS ISSUE. CONTINUOUS ISSUE AND GETTING WORSE. THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY GM. IT IS EPIDEMIC IN THEIR ACADIAS. STATIONARY AND PUTTING IT INTO PARK. IT DOESN'T RECOGNIZE IT'S IN PARK! IT'S BEEN OCCURRING OFF AND ON OVER A WEEK, NOT TODAY, EVERY TIME I TRY TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE.

CONVERTERS CONTINUE TO GO OUT. I'VE REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES THEN WITH IN A FEW MONTHS SAME CODES PULL AGAIN. THEY REPLACE IT AGAIN. NOW THEY REFUSE TO GIVE ME ANY WARRANTY ON THEM SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED SO MANY TIMES IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. THERE'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING ELSE CAUSE THE SAME CODES TO PULL BUT GMC SHOP KEEPS SAYING SAME THING. *TR

MY CAR KEEPS GIVING NOTICE OF IT NOT BEING IN PARK, WHEN ITS CLEARLY SHIFTED INTO PARK. IT WONT SHUT DOWN, LET YOU LOCK DOORS. JUST BEEPS UNTIL IT FINALLY REALIZES ITS IN PARK. EVEN AFTER CONTINUOUSLY RE SHIFTING INTO PARK. WORSE IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED AS MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE! *TR

AIR BAGS
SO WHEN I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR TWO MONTHS NOW AND THIS MORNING WHEN I LEFT FOR WORK THE "SERVICE AIRBAG" LIGHT AND WARNING DISPLAY CAME IN Y. I HAVE ATTEMPTED EVERYTHING TO HAVE IT GO OFF THAT WAS RECOMMENDED BY OTHER ACADIA OWNERS. NOTHING HAD WORKED ...I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE EXACT SAME THING AND FEEL THAT BECAUSE TO BE ADDRESSED BY GM. I DO NOT THINK THAT I ADD A SINGLE MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER SHOULD BE OUT 590 TO 600 DOLLARS FOR SOMETHING THAT IS OBVIOUSLY A MALFUNCTION THAT GM CANNOT GET RIGHT. PERIOD IS IN THE PRIOR VEHICLES. *TR

AFTER START UP (WHILE DRIVING OR WITH VEHICLE AT REST) SERVICE AIRBAG NOTIFICATION POPS UP AND REMAINS ON DASH CENTER NOTIFICATION AREA ALONG WITH AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT ON DASH. DEALER WANTS OVER $1,000 TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER RECALL OR WARRANTY SPECIAL COVERAGE. THIS TYPE OF VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE SHOULDN'T BE LIMITED BY A 3 YEAR/36,000 MILE WARRANTY. OWNERS MANUAL STATES THAT AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER CLAIMS THAT THE SYSTEM FAULT WILL NOT PREVENT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, BUT I WOULDN'T TRUST THAT GIRL ON THE PHONE TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE HER OWN WIPER BLADES, LET ALONE EXPLAIN THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. GMC NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING AT ALARMING RATES WITH THEIR 2014 GMC ACADIAS. THIS IS NOT LIMITED ONLY TO THE 2013 AND OLDER GMC ACADIAS. *TR

WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A TURN REGARDLESS IF I TURN RIGHT OR LEFT IT'S VERY HARD TO STEER. SOMETIMES IT MAKES A WHINING NOISE THAT IT'S NEVER MADE BEFORE UNTIL NOW AND AS OF THIS PAST WEEKEND ANY TIME I TRY TO TURN ITS EXTREMELY HARD. I ALMOST GOT HIT SEVERAL TIMES JUST TRYING TO GET MY CAR HOME FROM A FRIEND'S HOUSE. MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID AND IT'S FULL. *TR

I RECEIVE A 'SHIFT TO PARK' WARNING MESSAGE WHEN MY VEHICLE IS CLEARLY IN THE PARK POSITION AND IT PREVENTS MY CAR FROM BEING ABLE TO COMPLETELY TURN OFF. I HAVE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED AT THE GMC DEALERSHIP ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND IT IS NOW GIVING ME THE SAME ERROR. I AM NOW NO LONGER ABLE TO OPEN MY GARAGE DOOR FROM MY VEHICLE, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES IN WHICH THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE EITHER ONE OF MY KEY FOBS.
