2017 GMC Acadia

When shutting down the vehicle a "shift to park" message appears on the console and the electrical system does not shut down. in order to clear the problem, the vehicle must be restarted and the shifter moved between gears and back to park, sometimes several time before successfully shutting down. dealer said that even though the car had only 35000 miles on it, it wasn't covered under warranty as the vehicle had been in service more that 36 months. charged me $590.00 to replace the shifter assembly. opened a case with gmc, but they declined to do anything about it.

Multiple occasions when driving vehicle, then attempting to shift from drive to park and actually in park an error comes on 'shift to park' comes on, i've taken it to dealership and they blame me on some light bulbs i changed, well i changed them back and still error occurs. unfortunately when that happens i can't lock my vehicle for some time until multiple times of turning on and off the vehicle. (2) while driving forward, my rear camera would be displaying live everything behind me, which was very distracting, took it to the dealership, i think they fixed it
