2017 gmc acadia would issue a warning saying vehicle failed to shift to park even though the vehicle was in park. this vehicle defect is known by gmc and their dealerships. a lawsuit is currently pending regarding this issue. gmc has failed to issue a recall and has failed to resolve the issue. we took our vehicle to the local gmc dealership august 2018 due to the issue. the issue started again in november 2019. when we called about it, they said the prior work wasn't covered and we would have to pay to have the "known defect" repaired again.
When the car is shifted into park, it often does not show that it is in park. it will roll, the lights will not go off, doors will not lock. to get it to work, you must restart the car and move the shifter in and out of the park position. while you are doing this the car will continue to roll with the brakes depressed. the service writer at the dealer stated that this is a common problem with this model. this has happened at least 10 times.

I have a 2017 acadia. when the car is shifted into park, the dashboard shows a warning that says "shift to park" even though the car is already in park. i have to turn the car off and on several times and slam the shifter into park until the car finally registers that it's in park.. if i leave the car like that, all the electrical stuff stays on and my battery will die. additionally, when this happens, the car is not in park and seems to be in gear or at least in neutral because it will roll. this is a safety hazard and happens on a daily occurrence.
