ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
There are currently approximately 22,000 miles on this vehicle. On approximately December 22, 2023, the car was operating normally, and has been since purchased with 3 miles on it, the car was being parked into a flat parking spot at a local store, when the car was stopped completely, the engine/start button was pushed, which normally put the car into park and shut the car down, this time, the car shut down but NEVER went into Park and started to drift forward approximately 2 feet before the driver was aware that the car was moving. Luckily there was enough room left when the car was parked if not it would have hit another car or someone else. The passenger door was opened upon shut down and the passenger was getting out and that was the only way the passengers knew the car was still moving. The car or incident has not been reported to the dealer as of now but will be in the near future. There were no warning lamps or messages however the brakes were hit immediately upon recognition and the D light was still illuminated. This issue has not been recreated nor has it happened before.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
I had a noise in my front driver side and the car felt like it would pull or sputter. I took it to GMC and they said the bearings are miss threaded in the transmission and it is causing problems with the sputtering and control of the car. They said this is a known problem in GMC but they do not have a recall on the car or the parts to repair it. This is a safety risk because if the transmission is slipping then I could loose control of the car and crash. It can also damage other parts to the car. No warning light or check engine light came on in the car.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Driver side blind spot monitor fails to detect vehicles. I first became aware of the problem as I was entering a freeway and nearly caused an accident. I scheduled service at my GMC dealership but had to wait two weeks for an appointment. The system stared working again just before the appointment and the dealer service department could not find a problem. My neighbor's 2021 GMC Acadia has the same issue. Does somebody have to die to correct a safety defect?

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
The cruise control does not down-shift the vehicle early enough. it does not react for the first 6mph over set point and then when it downshifts it only downshifts one gear. The vehicle exceeded 10mph over set point on a 6% grade and brakes had to be engaged because manual limit did not perform as intended at the moment. This might have been ok in the 90s but all other cars I had handled this much better in last 15 years.
