Shift to park warning light turns on when car is in park. headlights stay on.
Car gives a "action required, shift to park" and does not turn off although you have put the car in park. you have to put the car into reverse or drive and move it back to park multiple times before it senses it is in park and before it will let you turn off the vehicle. the car was stationary every time this happened in a parking spot.
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.
The vehicle states to 'shift to park' but the vehicle is in park already. the vehicle will not turn off and keeps the battery running. i must start up the car and shift it to drive, then pack to park multiple times before the car recognizes it is in park. this happens every time, but the amount of time it takes to turn on and off to reach 'park' is random.
Vehicle will not shift properly to park when turning the vehicle off. this causes the problem of moving when attempting to turn off the vehicle.
Car continues to tell you to shift to park after it has been placed in park. the car will not allow you to lock or exit the vehicle. to remedy you must shake the gear shift, or wait a period of time, start the car, place in drive and shift back to start. sometimes, you have to do this several times before the car will realize it is in park.

Tl* the contact's father owns a 2017 gmc acadia. while the contact's father was making a right turn, the front passenger side tire bent inwardly into the wheel well. as a result, the vehicle crashed into a curb. the vehicle received body damage. the air bags did not deploy. there were no injuries and a police report was filed. the vehicle was towed to a certified mechanic who diagnosed that the driveshaft fractured and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. summit chevrolet buick gmc (located at 318 grant ave, auburn, ny 13021, 315-258-2000) was contacted and informed the contact of nhtsa campaign number: 17v516000 (power train), but the vin was not included. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 17,000.
The "shift to park" message comes on after i park the car. i have to wiggle the gear shift back and forth to get it to go off or the car stays on electronically. the door locks go on/off (and up and down) while driving (purportedly due to the car going in and out of park while driving) which is a major safety concern. because it's out of warranty (47,000 miles) my dealership said it would be $700-$800 to fix the problem although gmc has put out a bulletin to tell the dealerships how to fix it. this should be a recall due to safety concerns. if the car isn't reading it's in park, it could roll and cause injury and damage. this has happened pretty regularly for 2 weeks going on 3 weeks.

My 2017 gmc acadia has a "shifter" problem. i put the car in park but i get an error message that states "shift to park" and the car doesn't completely turn off even though you turn the car off physically. some electronics stay on like the radio and headlights. you cannot completely shut the car down - again - even when you physically turn the car off. the car is in park and stopped.
