The contact later discovered that the rear brake lights and reverse lights were illuminated during the failure. A local dealer was contacted about the failure and made an appointment for a repair. 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.”

“The contact owns a 2017 GMC Acadia. The contact stated after parking and turning off the vehicle, the brake lights remained illuminated. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring. The dealer the vehicle was purchased from, was notified of the failure and informed the contact that she would be charged for the repair. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact an unknown recall that was related to the failure had expired. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.”

“1. COULD NOT PUT CAR INTO PARK OR TURN OFF. CAUSED BATTERY TO BE DEAD AS IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF WHEN PUT INTO PARK. 2. STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND JERKED REPEATEDLY. COULD NOT TURN INTO PARKING SPOT. THE STEERING WHEEL HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN AND COULD NOT STOP THE JERK. IT IS DANGEROUS AND SCARY ! 3. AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT LIGHT THE ROAD. IT IS AS THOUGH THERE ARE NO LIGHTS AT ALL. IT IS DANGEROUS TO NOT SEE THE ROAD AT NIGHT BECAUSE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT GIVE APPROPRIATE LIGHTING.”

“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.”

“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.”

“EXTERIOR HEADLIGHTS ARE INEFFECTIVE AND UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. POOR LIGHTING ON MY VEHICLE HAS CAUSED NEAR ACCIDENTS ON THE FREEWAY WITH DEER AND STALLED VEHICLES ON THE ON THE ROAD.”
