“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11330307, filed 2020-06, 40,000 miles“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.”
