Park the car shut off engine and a message comes up please shift to park. the car is in park but it's not being recognized by the computer or drivetrain? have to play with the shifter to be able to shut off car . only happens when parked and shutting off car.
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.
I shifted the gear into park, and a message appeared saying to "shift to park" and wouldn't allow the car to be turned off or its doors locked. this is a safety issue because the car is unable to shift into park and could roll back.
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.
Experienced the "vehicle not in park " when shifter was in park. engine would not turn off because electrical switch did not recognize the vehicle was in park. after many tries i was able to turn vehicle off. had vehicle serviced and shifter was replaced (3 weeks ago ). today shifter froze in park yet console indicated vehicle was in drive. did not remove foot off of brake because vehicle would move forward because it was in gear. could not shut off vehicle because it is a push button start/stop and foot must be off brake to stop engine. called dealer for help. finally we put emergency brake on and pushed stop button. the engine turned off but electrical system was still on. had vehicle towed to dealer. they will advise in a week or so they are short handed.
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.
Vehicle states "action required - shift to park" even though vehicle is in park. accessories stay on and vehicle continuously sounds warning chime. this problem occurs every time the vehicle is shifted to park and engine is shut down.
