WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE, I GET AN ALERT "ACTION REQUIRED SHIFT TO PARK" AND THE VEHICLE IS ALREADY IN PARK. THIS STARTED WHEN I HAD APPROXIMATELY 35,900 MILES ON THE VEHICLE BUT BY THE TIME I GOT AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER, I WAS OVER 36,000 MILES SO THEY SAY IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY ANYMORE. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING, BUT GMC STILL HASN'T INITIATED ANY KIND OF RECALL WHEN THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT I'M SURE THEY KNOW ABOUT.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK, THE CAR DISPLAYS A MESSAGE 'SHIFT TO PARK' AND WILL NOT LET YOU TURN THE CAR OFF. THIS IS CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO TURN CAR ON AND OFF AND MOVE IT FROM DRIVE TO PARK UNTIL IT REGISTERS.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SERVICE AIR BAG SOON LIGHT IS ON AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 74,000 MILES AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR EARLIER MODEL YEAR ACADIAS UP TO 2013 AND IT IS WIDELY REPORTED THAT THE 2014S HAVE THE SAME ISSUE; THAT THE CONNECTOR HAS TO BE RESOLDERED FOR THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE TO GMC AND THEY ARE CHARGING APPROXIMATELY $400 TO FIX A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE. NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PAY $400 TO GET THIS FIXED BECAUSE IT IS NOT AN INCLUDED RECALL ON THE 2014S AND I DON'T WANT MY WIFE DRIVING A CAR WITHOUT AIRBAGS.

STEERING
ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THIS VEHICLE HAS, WITH NO WARNING, EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING FOR 2-10 SECONDS PER EVENT. #1 JUNE - 2018 (APROX MILEAGE 30K+): WHILE EXITING THE FREEWAY OFFRAMP AND SLOWING BELOW 40MPH, MY WIFE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER STEERING FOR 1-2 SECONDS BEFORE REGAINING POWER STEERING. WENT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED TO BE OK, CND (COULD NOT DUPLICATE). #2 11-18-2018 (MILEAGE 46171): WHILE SLOWING AND TURNING LEFT INTO OUR DRIVE WAY THE CAR EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING FOR 5-10 SECONDS. I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP AND SNAP A PICTURE OF THE FOLLOWING ERROR MSG: ACTION REQUIRED, STEERING ASSIST IS REDUCED DRIVE WITH CARE. THIS TIME WE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH PICTURES AND AGAIN CND. #3 6-9-2019 (MILEAGE 64916): WHILE COMING OUT OF A LEFT HAND TURN, AT APROX 5MPH AND SLOWING, I BEGAN TO NAVIGATE A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING LOT WHEN I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS AND RETURN OF POWER STEERING. THE INCIDENT LASTED APRON 2-3 SECONDS, ENOUGH TIME TO HER MY PASSENGER TAKE A PICTURE OF THE FOLLOWING ERROR MSG: ACTION REQUIRED, STEERING ASSIST IS REDUCED DRIVE WITH CARE. I AM TAKING THIS VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH PICTURES OF THE WARNING AND MILEAGE FOR A SECOND TIME. I HAVE NOTICE THAT GM HAD RECALLED NUMEROUS VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM FROM 2017 TILL NOW. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V586. GM'S OWN NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS 18289. DO THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE ADDED TO INITIATE A FIX?

POWER TRAIN
WHEN PARKING THE VEHICLE, AFTER SHIFTING TO PARK, THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYS A WARNING SHIFT TO PARK AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO BE SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY ON A CITY STREET, IN OUR DRIVEWAY, AND ALSO IN A PARKING LOT. THIS PREVENTED ME FROM EXITING THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES EACH TIME, WILL I CONTINUED TO RESTART THE CAR, SHIFT FROM PARK TO ANOTHER GEAR AND THEN RESHIFT INTO PARK.

WHEELS
WE LEASED A 2017 GMC ACADIA BACK IN OCT. OF 2016. LAST WEEK MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME IN WET CONDITIONS DUE TO RAIN AND GOING AROUND 35 MILES PER HOUR WHERE SHE HYDROPLANED THE CAR. LUCKILY WHEN SHE HIT THE CURB, THE CAR CORRECTED ITSELF AND LUCKILY THERE WAS NOTHING MORE SERIOUS. WE TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL GARAGE TO INSPECT AND UPON REVIEW, HE STATED THAT ALL 4 TIRES HAVE DRY ROT AND SHOULD BE CHANGED IMMEDIATELY. HE ADVISED US TO GO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, THEY STATED THAT THE TIRES ARE WEAR AND TEAR AND ARE NOT COVERED HOWEVER I FEEL THESE ARE DEFECTIVE TIRES. WE HAVE 26K MILES ON THE CAR AND THIS OCT. WILL BE 3 YEARS SO WE ARE AVERAGING UNDER 10K A YEAR. I AM ATTACHING PICTURES SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE ARE SPEAKING OF AND ASK YOU TO ADVISE US AND OUR DEALERSHIP WHICH IS VAN BUREN BUICK GMC LOCATED IN NEW HYDE PARK, NY. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING WITH THESE TIRES AND ASK THAT YOU STEP IN AND ASSIST US. I HAVE 2 YOUNG DAUGHTERS AND DO NOT WANT SOMETHING MORE HAPPEN UNTIL THIS IS ADDRESSED.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY WINDOWS WILL ROLL DOWN ON THEIR OWN WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. I CAN ONLY ROLL THE WINDOWS UP AND DOWN INTERMITTENTLY WHILE PARKED AND IN MOTION. WHILE DRIVING STABILITY CONTROL WILL TURN ITSELF OFF AND BLOW SOME SORT OF GAS THROUGH THE AIR CONDITIONING VENTS IN THE CAR, THEN IT WILL START SHUDDERING AND SLOWING DOWN THE CAR TO THE POINT I HAVE TO PULL OVER. AFTER THAT ISSUE STARTED, MY A/C WILL ONLY WORK INTERMITTENTLY AS WELL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I OWN A 2010 GMC ACADIA... I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE LOW BEAMS ON BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE NUMEROUS TIMES!!!!!!!! I'M A SINGLE MOTHER OF 3... NOT ONLY IS IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR YOUR HEADLIGHTS TO GO OUT AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT(ESPECIALLY WHEN MY CHILDREN ARE IN THE VEHICLE... NOT TO MENTION OTHER MOTORISTS CHILDREN) BUT ITS ALSO COSTLY!!!!! THIS ALL STARTED BACK IN AUG 2018... THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS!!! I'VE DONE MY DUES... WORKED HARD TO PAY MY VEHICLE OFF...ALL I WANTED WAS A GOOD AND RELIABLE VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY... AND IT'S FAR FROM SAFE!!!!

ENGINE
"SHIFT TO PARK" ERROR 90% OF THE TIME WHEN I ATTEMPT TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. IT IS IN PARK AND IT'S NOT RECOGNIZED AS BEING IN PARK. IT CAN TAKE ME ANYWHERE FROM 30 SECONDS TO 5 MINUTES TO JIGGLE IT THE RIGHT WAY TO GET IT TO REGISTER. PROBLEM IS UNTIL IT DOES REGISTER IN PARK I CAN'T SECURE THE VEHICLE. AND IT DINGS NONSTOP DRAINING THE BATTERY. I UNDERSTAND GM IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND DOESN'T HAVE A FIX. IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION IN MY OPINION. I'M STUCK IN A LEASE PAYING FOR A CAR THAT ISN'T SAFE FOR ME. IT JUST STARTED 6 DAYS AGO AND HAS ALREADY OCCURRED MORE THAN 2 DOZEN OCCASIONS.
