What owners wrote
2016 sle GMC acadia center gear shifting component level does not indicate what gear the vehicle is currently in. P,r,n,d,l all remain white in color despite being in a different gear; an improvement (perhaps a color change to the current gear) is needed. Gear indication is currently located on a 2 inch by 3 inch screen screen above the speedometer in the instrument cluster.
