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.

From purchase to date, the headlights are terrible in good weather. In bad weather its very hard to drive safely in this vehicle. Visibility is severely limited for the driver at night.

Headlights are dim to the point of being dangerous. Dealer confirms that all 2017 acadia are like this. This is by no means the first complaint about this issue. An accident waiting to happen.
