Starting vehicle after 10 hours of vehicle not running, the vehicle cranks/has a delayed start for approximately 4 to 8 seconds. Battery, alternator and start was check and all was in working order. I was told the issue may be a defective fuel pump, due to the engine losing fuel pressure after not running for an extended period of time.
The car will not turn off and reports on the dashboard display �shift to park� even though the shifter is in park. Truck will roll when it shouldn't be possible. Also, unless you can get it to acknowledge you're in park, headlights and all accessories stay on. An alarm sounds if you leave the vehicle. It's a mess and although GMC knew about the issue in mid 2018, refuses to fix it without payment. This should be a mandatory recall.

I attempt to place my Acadia into park and power down my vehicle only to get a "shift to park" error message. I am unable to power down my vehicle and not fully park my vehicle even though I have parked it. This occurs daily and has occured 15-20 times in 1 attempt to park. I have to attempt to turn car back "on" and then put car into drive or reverse driving about a foot or so than attempt to repark my vehicle. Only to have to repeat this step over and over til it finally disappears. GMC customer service associate claims they are unaware of the issue. Of course this issue only occurred after my vehicle warranty expired.

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.
Between 1300-1500 rpm there is a hesitation for acceleration. It seems the transmission shudders at this rpm at different speeds.

A brake sensor and gas pedal assembly have also been replaced due to defect.

Shift to park problem, the dealer tried fixing it 3 times now and having a problem with the wheel. When sometimes turning the car. I can feel something is like stock on tge wheel making me feel like the wheel is gonna get off.

Even tho I keep telling them I am not gonna wait for anything bad to happen since I have a 5 month old baby with me. Tge obly thing they suggesting is having it checked. And that's it.
When I’m driving a warning comes on my dic screen that says “action required steering assist is reduced drive with care”. The ac does not work and the temp gauge goes to cold with the radiator fan blowing at full speed.
