When I go to put car in park and go to turn it off it saw shift to park on the information screen. The shifter is in park and p flashes on and off on the shifter. Gmc has said they do not have a fix for this. This is a safety issue if you think you're in park and go to get out and it is not.

I financed this vehicle in may 2018 through a gmc dealership. It is january 2019 I started getting alerts once I put my car in park and turned the motor off. The warning alerts stated on the dashboard "action required -shift to park-" even though it is is park. The alert is loud and will not go off. I have to start the car again and adjust the gear shift a few times by moving it to drive, neutral or reverse before the vehicle recognizes that it is is park and the alert leaves the screen and the sound goes off. Sometimes it takes a few moments of moving the gear shift before I am able to leave the vehicle. This is highly inconvenient especially when you are in a hurry to leave the vehicle. I am extremely frustrated because this is a brand new vehicle. I contacted the dealer and they immediately asked me was the car still under 36,000 miles. Thankfully it is. I entered my VIN number in this database and no recalls have came up for my model oddly. But for a different model of the gma acadia 2018 there is 2 recalls. Ironically, the same complaint has been reported.
When I put the in park, it does not recognize that the vehicle is already engaged. The console displays tells me to put vehicle in park and beeps. I have to keep moving the gear shift from reverse to neutral to park several times before it recognizes the vehicle in engaged in park. This has been happening about 8 months or so. I have mentioned it to the dealer and they tell me their are no recalls for my problem, not even recognizing my problem with the vehicle.
When you put the shifter in park it does not recognize & cabin alarm starts to beep. The vehicle will also leave its headlights on overnight & drain your battery. Took to dealer and they couldn't do anything about it. It's been 2 weeks and no letter of resolution from manufacturer as the dealer said.
