The contact owns a 2017 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that the "shift to park" message was displayed on the instrument panel while attempting to park the vehicle.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not under recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
Head lights are very dim making driving the vehicle at night very unsafe. Took vehicle to GMC dealer, tech said that head lights are within GMC specs. Too insane to drive this vehicle at night an accident or even death can occur. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly; 4 - VIN corrected, error in one position only (indicated by ! in suggested VIN), multiple matches found; 14 - unable to provide information for all the characters in the VIN. #vpic#.
With my vehicle stationary and shifter in the park position, I turn my car off and the vehicle turns off but the instrument cluster says "action required - shift to park". This message also does not allow the day time running lights to turn off and if the lights don't turn off the battery drains if parked for long stretches. I have to turn the car on/off several times before it engages and the message disappears.
Low beams are too low. . . . Poor illumination. . . . High beams illuminate the top of trees.
The radio is dangerously bright when driving at night. The brightness is affected by the backup camera; once the backup camera is activated the radio brightness is increased and will not dim until you shut the car off. There is no easy way to shut the display off without navigating through the touchscreen menus, and if you adjust anything with the radio or hvac the display comes back on at full brightness. Vehicle has been to the dealer multiple times, with gm engineer visiting to see the issue. There are some Acadias with the same radio that isn't affected by this problem. Was told by the engineer that there is nothing that can be done and I have to just get used to the extra brightness. This "extra brightness" is too dangerous for me to drive at night, as it impairs my vision. I am now stuck with a $32000 vehicle that I cannot safely drive at night.
2017 GMC Acadias equipped with hid headlamps with low beams activated are blinding to oncoming drivers.
