The contact owned 2024 GMC Terrain. The contact stated that while stopped, the gear shifter independently shifted from drive(D) to park(P). The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle several times and the vehicle operated normally. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed, and it was determined that the transmission needed to be flushed because debris were found inside the transmission. The transmission was flushed and the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and opened a case. The approximate failure mileage was 11,050.

The Electric Power Steering (EPS) gear assembly / rack and pinion failed completely. Yes, the component is available for inspection upon request; it is currently located at the servicing dealership.

This did fail on me driving down the Highway! Yes. The problem was officially diagnosed and confirmed by the franchise dealership. They
