2012 GMC Acadia Complaint Log

Every single GMC I have ever ran into there is an Acadia, the air conditioner never works. Maybe you guys should reconsider the assembly of your air-conditioning It’s exhausting spending money having air for all of five minutes and then it’s right back to the heat.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MALFUNCTIONS WHILE DRIVING. ALL GAUGES STOP RESPONDING AND AUTOMATIC CONTROLS BECOME DISABLED. ALL DASHBOARD GAUGES BECOME DISABLED AND UNRESPONSIVE AND LOOSES INFORMATION. THE DASHBOARD LIGHT BRIGHTENS TO DAY MODE. AUTOMATIC LIGHT SYSTEM, CRUISE CONTROL, AUTOMATIC LOCK SYSTEM, BLINKER INDICATOR, RADIO, DVD PLAYER, SEAT BELT SIGNAL, DRIVER DOOR BUTTONS, AND HOLOGRAPHIC DISPLAY BECOME DISABLED. INFORMATION READS PARK ASSIST OFF, SERVICE AIR BAGS, CHECK GAUGES AND ALL FAULT LIGHTS DISPLAY. ISSUES OCCUR WHILE DRIVING AND RELATIVELY. THE ONSET, FREQUENCY AND DURATION OF ISSUES FLUCTUATE AT RANDOM.

I HAVE 2 ONGOING ISSUES, 1ST IS THE CAR WILL BE DRIVING FINE THEN GET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND HAVE A CODE FOR CYLINDER MISFIRE. CAR WAS AT DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES WITH ISSUE AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE WHILE UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. MYSTERIOUSLY THE INTAKE HAS TO COME APART AND BE REWORKED SINCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, AND STILL HAS SAME ISSUES. THE 2ND AND MORE CONCERNING ISSUE IS THE POWER STEERING. INITIALLY TOOK IN AND TOLD THE RACK AND PINION NEEDS CHANGED. STILL HAD SAME ISSUE AND TOLD POWER STEERING NOW NEEDS TO BE CHANGED, SO WE DID. SOUND AND STILL STIFF AFTER 2 RACKS AND 2 PUMPS. MECHANIC REFUSED TO WORK IT AGAIN. TOOK TO DEALER YESTERDAY. SAYS NEEDS NEW POWER STEERING PUMP. SO DEALER TOOK FOR A TEST DRIVE AND SAID IT'S STILL DOING IT AND NEEDS ANOTHER RACK AND PINION. AT WHAT POINT IS GMC THAT HAS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE WITH STEERING GOING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I CAN'T KEEP THROWING MONEY AT THIS THING AND I CAN'T FEEL UNSAFE IN IT. WHAT CAN I DO?

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TURNS OUT TO BE CADILLAC CONVERTER.

WHEN IT IS PARKED AND IDLING IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL. WHEN I AM DRIVING IT IT SHIFTS HARD AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTS SLIPPING. I TOOK IT TO A REPUTABLE MECHANIC FOR AN ASSESSMENT OF THE PROBLEM AND HE SAID HIS COMPUTER SAID THAT IT WAS THE TRACTION CONTROL MODULE IN THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT IT WOULD COST ABOUT $1500 TO REPAIR IT INCLUDING LABOR. HE CALLED THE DEALER TO SEE IF IT WAS IN STOCK AND THEY SAID THEY HAD MANY OF THEM. I WOULD ASSUME THAT THEY WOULD NOT STOCK A $700 PART IN THAT QUANTITY IF THEY WERE NOT HAVING QUITE A FEW PROBLEMS WITH THIS PART. OTHER SUV'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND I WAS WONDERING WHY MINE WAS NOT. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD LOOK INTO THIS MATTER FOR ME AND GET BACK TO ME WITH AN EXPLANATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AS I MAY BE GETTING STUCK SOMEWHERE WITH MY WIFE AND CHILDREN IN THE CAR..

MY 2012 ACADIA ONLY HAS 112,000 MILES ON IT, AND I AM HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES. IT STARTED AS A VIBRATION (WASHBOARD SOUND) FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS WHEN YOU WERE TRAVELING AT 55 TO 65 MPH. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED REGULAR. AFTER HAVING IT IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME VIBRATION, I WAS FINALLY TOLD IT COULD BE THE TRANSMISSION. IT IS SAD THAT I HAVE SUCH A NICE VEHICLE AND WILL HAVE TO TRADE BECAUSE GM WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION. TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION IT WILL COST AT LEAST $5,000.00. THIS COULD KEEP ME FROM PURCHASING ANOTHER GMC. THE PROBLEM IS ON GOING UNITL I DECIDE, REPAIR OR TRADE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING FUNCTIONALITY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED TO OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND STEERING GEAR VALVE HOUSING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NIELSEN CHEVROLET (1 US-46, DOVER, NJ 07801) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A FEE FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,750.*DT*JB

THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE BLEW OUT CAUSING ME TO RUN INTO THE DITCH. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE VEHICLE BUT ALL THE REAR AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN THE BACK BUT NOT IN THE FRONT. THE FRONT SEATBELTS LOCKED BUT NOT THE BACK....

THE BACK LIFE GATE DOES NOT STAY OPEN. IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY OPEN WITH PRESS OF BUTTON: HOWEVER, IT WILL NOT STAY OPEN AND WILL FALL DOWN FAST WITHOUT ANY INDICATION. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

MY VEHICLES HATCHBACK/ TRUNK LIFTS UP BUT WILL NOT STAY OPEN. AFTER OPENING IT MAKES A HORRIBLE NOISE AND FALLS. IT ACTUALLY FELL ON ME.

THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS FAILING PER DUBLIN GMC. THAT IS THE CAUSE OF THE STUTTERING. IN ADDITION, THE REAR LIFT GATE HAS FAILED AND WILL NOT STAY OPEN IN EITHER POWER OR MANUEL MODE. APPARENTLY MY VEHICLE MANUFACTUR DATE IS OUT SIDE THE RECALL MONTHS FOR THIS RECALL (PER DUBLIN GMC AND SELF CHECK ON THIS WEBSITE) RECALL # 5420 AND NHST #15V415000. HOW DO I GET THE MFG TO PAY FOR THIS POTENTIALLY LETHAL FAILURE (IT ALMOST GOT ME WHEN IT FAILED AS I WAS TAKING GROCERIES OUT OF BACK)

FRONT BLOWER MOTOR FOR DEFROST/HEATING/COOLING SYSTEM INTERMITTENTLY STOPS WORKING. SEEMS TO STOP WORKING MORE OFTEN IN RAIN, SNOW, AND COLD. HAS BEEN A SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE DEFROST DOESN'T WORK AND WINDSHIELD FOGS UP. VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE. BELIEVE THAT SOME OLDER ACADIA MODEL YEARS HAVE A RECALL ON THE BLOWER MOTOR BECAUSE IT GETS WET DURING RAIN AND SNOW AND NO LONGER WORKS. THE 2012 ACADIA HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. POTENTIALLY GETTING WET THROUGH A FAULT IN THE SUNROOF?? (08312020REAR BLOWER CONTINUES TO WORK.)

TAILGATE FALLS DOWN AFTER OPENING. WILL NOT STAY UP WITHOUT HOLDING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR STARTED TO CHANGE COLOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MIRROR WAS DISCOLORED FROM THE BOTTOM TO HALFWAY UP THE MIRROR. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GROPPETTI AUTOMOTIVE FAMILY VISALIA BUICK GMC (1313 E. MAIN ST. VISALIA, CA 93292; (866)248-5241) WHO STATED THAT THE MIRROR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING OR SHUDDERING UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. MOST FREQUENTLY NOTICEABLE AROUND THE SHIFT POINTS BETWEEN 2ND&3RD, OR 3RD & 4TH, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS DOWNSHIFTING TO CLIMB A HILL. THERE IS A STRONG VIBRATION AND RPM BOUNCE A BIT BEFORE IT FINALLY ENGAGES AFTER A COUPLE SECONDS. I HAVE RECENTLY LEARNED THAT ACADIAS HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, NOTABLY THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND WAVE PLATE.

A P0306 CODE APPEARED. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE EXPRESSED THAT MY ENGINE WAS 'POROUS'. WHEN I START MY ENGINE THERE'S A ROUGH START. WHEN IT'S IDLE THE CAR SHAKES.

TRANSMISSION STUTTER

THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY'S ARE MELTED AND HEADLIGHTS DON'T WORK. SEEMS THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH GMC HEADLIGHTS IN YEARS PAST THAT THEY CONTINUE TO NOT ADDRESS. I AM FURIOUS THAT DESPITE REPORTS AND RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE FROM MANY YEARS AND MANY MAKES AND MODELS THEY HAVE NOT ADDRESSED AND CONTINUE TO AVOID RECALLING ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS GARBAGE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, THAT CAUSES HEADLIGHTS TO FAIL AND INCREASES RISK OF CAR FIRE. I WANT THIS REPAIRED BY THIS GARBAGE COMPANY AND SOMETHING DONE TO MAKE THEM STOP UTILIZING THESE UNSAFE AND FAULTY ASSEMBLIES.

I STARTED HAVING STEERING PROBLEMS WHEN I WOULD SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A TURN ON A CITY STREET. THE STEERING WAS VERY TIGHT. UNSAFE CONDITION WITHOUT WARNING. I HAD THE POWER STEERING UNIT REPLACED, THEN I WAS TOLD THE RACK AND PINION HAD METAL IN THEM AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO FLUSH OUT THE METAL. I PICKED UP THE CAR TODAY AFTER A COST OF $2,200. DROVE HOME ON CITY STREETS, SAME PROBLEM ONLY TIGHTER TURNING. CALLED THE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD TO RETURN THE CAR. JUST LUCK I HAVE ANOTHER CAR TO DRIVE. SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. *TR

The contact owns a 2012 GMC Acadia. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked in the driveway and the contact and his wife were taking groceries out of the vehicle, the rear liftgate suddenly fell and hit the contact’s wife on the back of the head. The contact’s wife had a severe headache with dizziness. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the liftgate struts failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 97,000.

A/C SYSTEM - ON OUR DUAL CONTROL TEMPERATURE SETTING, THE DRIVER'S SIDE CONSTANTLY BLOWS HEAT NO MATER HOW COOL THE SETTING MAY BE. THE PASSENGER SIDE COOLING WORKS PROPERLY BUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS ALWAYS HOT.

BOUGHT THIS GMC USED WITH 32000 MILES. PERFORMED REGULAR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. THE CAR JUST HIT 102,000 MILES AND THE ENGINE SEIZED UP. I WAS DRIVING IT HOME AND STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND THE CAR JUST DIED. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY. THERE WAS NO WARNING AS I HEARD NO NOISE, DID NOT SEE ANY BUILD-UP OR SMOKE COMING FROM THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP AND A 2ND MECHANIC BOTH VERIFIED THE ENGINE ISSUE. IT JUST BLOWS MY MIND THAT A VEHICLE THAT JUST HIT 100,000 MILES WOULD HAVE AN ENGINE DO THIS. THE COST TO REPLACE THE ENGINE IS ABOUT $8,000-$9,000.

THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED COMING UP MY DRIVEWAY. THERE WAS NO COLLISION AND MY VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ONLY 8 MILES PER HOUR. I HAVE ASKED FOR EXPLANATION FROM THE MANUFACTURER ON HOW THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IF THEY DID NOT MALFUNCTION. THEY REFUSE TO PROVIDE AN EXPLANATION OR PROOF MY VEHICLE WAS TESTED.

REPLACED HEADLIGHTS - DROVE DOWN THE ROAD MY VEHICLE STARTED BOUNCING MECHANIC TOOK IT BACK IN THE STRUTS FAILED WHEN THE TIRES WERE REMOVED AND THE VEHICLE WAS UP

ON 2/6/20 AFTER GETTING INTO MY VEHICLE AND TURNING ON THE IGNITION VEHICLE WOULDN'T START SO THE SAME DAY I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO A CERTIFIED DEALER IN UNION. AT THE DEALER THEY FIRST STATED THE GROUND WIRE TO STARTER WAS CHEWED UP SO THEY REPLACED THE STARTER AND THEN A FEW HOURS LATER THEY STATED NO COMUNICATION WITH ECM & BCM. THEY THEN STATED THEYFOUND WATER INTRUSION ON PASSAGE SIDE FUSE BLOCK THAT SHORTED OUT THE ECM AND BCM. AT DEALER THEY REPLACED FUSE BLOCK, ECM AND BCM. WELL AFTER $2027.05 LATER THEY WAS ABLE TO GET MY VEHICLE RUNNING AGAIN BUT NOW THE CAR RADIO AND MY ONSTAR IN VEHICLE DON'T WORK, ALSO TRACTION CONTROL,,STABILITRAK , ABS & AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHTS ARE ON. TWO WEEKS LATER MY CAR BATTERY DIED SO I REPLACED DEAD BATTERY WITH A NEW ONE. MY THING IS THIS IF ALL THESE ARE ISSUES THAT PEOPLE ALL OVER ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT I TRULY THINK ALL THESE ISSUES SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED A.S.A.P. BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. BY THE WAY I JUST BROUGHT 2012 GMC ARCADIA ON NOV.27,2019 AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE GOING OUT OF MY POCKET TRYING TO GET ALL THESE ISSUES FIXED.

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT ON, SPONTANEOUSLY CAME ON, AND REMAINS ON AT ALL TIMES. REPAIR ESTIMATE FROM GMC DEALER: PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG $991.50 R REAR SENSOR $500.85

WHILE DRIVING MY GMC ACADIA THE CAR STARTED LOOSING POWER, IT THEN GAVE A MESSAGE THAT SAID TRACTION CONTROL OFF/ON IT ALSO HAD STABILITY TRACK MESSAGE.

WELL GM STRIKES AGAIN. I JUST SUBMITTED A TRANSMISSON WITH MY 2014 SILVERADO BUT IT LOOKS LIKE MY 12 ACADIA HAS THE SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUE. WE BOUGHT THIS ACADIA USED AND WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNING THE TRANSMISSION FAILED DUE TO A KNOWN ISSUE BY GM. I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED TODAY BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTERED SIGNIFICANTLY ENOUGH THAT THE CAR WOULDNT GO. I AM EXTREMELY ANNOYED. I THINK ITS TIME WE GO TO ANOTHER MANUFACTURER...THE 35R CLUTCH WAVE PLATE IS JUNK AND SENDS METAL THROUGHOUT TRANS AND DESTROYS IT.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS CONSTANTLY NEED REPLACED, MELTING/SHATTERING/CRACKING ON HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES (BOTH) MOST LIKELY ELECTRICAL ISSUE CAUSING IT TO HEAT UP

REAR LIFT GATE SLAMS DOWN WHEN YOU TRY TO OPEN IT. STARTED ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO 11/01/2019. MY PREGNANT GRAND DAUGHTER COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. WE HAD JUST RETURNED HOME FROM SHOPPING WHEN WE OPENED THE LIFT GATE TO REMOVE PACKAGES WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

OUR 2012 ACADIA LIFTGATE SPONTANEOUSLY FAILED WHEN MY HUSBAND LIFTED THE LIFTGATE, COMING DOWN TOWARDS HIS HEAD WITH SPEED AND FORCE. LUCKILY HE WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY GET HIS HANDS UP BEFORE IT CRASHED DOWN ON HIS HEAD. HAD THIS BEEN A CHILD, SOMEONE WITH SLOWER REFLEXES, OR HAD HIS REFLEXES FAILED HIM HE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I HAVE BEEN AN RN FOR 15 YEARS, 6 OF WHICH I SPENT ON A TRAUMA UNIT CARING FOR PROBLEM WITH CLOSED HEAD INJURIES AND SO I UNDERSTAND THE DEVASTATING EFFECTS FIRST HAND. THE PHYSICS TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE ARE ELEMENTARY. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO DEALERSHIP THE DAY WE TOOK IN FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD BASIC WEAR AND TEAR. NO NOT A SPONTANEOUS ISSUE LIKE THIS THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS HARM OR DEATH. I OPENED A CASE WITH GMC AND THROUGH GMC FACEBOOK MESSENGER ONLY TO BE CONTINUOUSLY CORRALLED BACK TO THE DEALER. GMC MUST DO BETTER FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS WHO ARE HUMAN BEINGS WITH FAMILIES AND LOVED ONES. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY. DATE OF ISSUE WAS FALL OF 2019. I HAVE BEEN GOING BACK WITH GMC TO NO AVAIL AND NOW BELIEVE I MUST TAKE THIS ISSUE FURTHER AS I DO NOT WANT ANYONE ELSE'S INJURY ON MY CONSCIOUS AND GMC CLEARLY HAS NO CONCERN FOR THIS.

WARNING "SERVICE AIR BAGS" POPS UP; DEALER SAYS NEEDS PASSENGER PRESENCE ASSEMBLY $200 AND LABOR $500. SAYS AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. ALSO HAPPENED 1 YR AGO BUT MESSAGE WENT AWAY UNTIL RECENTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AT START-UP, THE ENGINE MISFIRE WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. A SECONDARY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC CONFIRMED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

WATER COLLECTS INSIDE THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE DOORS AND BODY. EVENTUALLY CAUSES NO SOUND FROM ALL SPEAKERS EXCEPT THE SMALL TWEETERS ON THE A PILLARS. THEN THE WARNING BEEPING FROM BACKUP SENSOR CANNOT BE HEARD. THIS PUTS PEDESTRIANS IN DANGER ESPECIALLY WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENS AND DRIVERS ARE NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM YET. THEY ARE EXPECTING IT TO BEEP IF SOMEONE LIKE A CHILD SUDDENLY CROSSES BEHIND THE VECHILE. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON ALL GM LAMBDA MODELS SINCE 2008. HERE ARE LINKS TO FORUM DISCUSSIONS FROM MANY OTHER OWNERS.

I BOUGHT MY CAR AT THE END OF APRIL. JUNE 27. 2019 WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAD THE STABILITRAK ISSUE. AT 102206 MILES, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE RR AND RF SPEED SENSORS AND RIGHT FRONT AND RIGHT REAR PASSENGER WHEEL BEARINGS. TODAY SEPTEMBER 9, 2019 AND AT 103003 MILES IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING BOTH TIMES, AND BOTH TIMES THE BRAKES GRIND AND I COULD FEEL LOOSENESS IN THE GAS PETAL AND IT SQUEAKS LIKE AN OLD SPRING BED. I AM A DISABLED VETERAN AND I ONLY USE THE CAR TO GET TO VA APPTS, GROCERY STORE AND GENERAL ERRANDS. I CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEND ANOTHER $1,200 TO GET THIS FIXED. I HAVE READ ONLINE MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS. THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THIS STABILITRAK SYSTEM AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT TO DO TO FIX IT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT STEPS WILL BE TAKEN TO FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE I CONTACT A LEMON LAW LAWYER.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MADE MY VEHICLE MADE A WEIRD NOISE AND LOST ALL POWER. TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN. I SPENT 10K ON A NEWER VEHICLE AND THIS HAPPENS. DEALERSHIP IT GONNA BE ANYWHERE FROM $5,500-7,000 TO FIX IT. I CAM'T AFFORD TO FIX THAT. HOW IS GM STILL MAKING THIS MOTOR WITH A TIMING CHAIN ISSUE AND HOW IS THIS YEAR NOT ON RECALL FOR THIS THE YEARS BEFORE WERE ON RECALL FOR IT. MY VEHICLE JUSTS SITS ON TRAILER. JAS BEEN THERE FOR 2 MONTHES. NOTHING LIKE PAYIN ON A DEAD HORSE

THE CAR SPUTTERS AND HESITATES WHEN CHANGING GEARS. I TOOK IT TO A GMC DEALER AND FOUND OUT THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND TRANSMISSION WERE BAD. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING WITH THE GMC ACADIA. I RECEIVED A PRICE OF APPROXIMATELY $4500 TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. I DID CONTACT GMC AND WAS TOLD NO ASSISTANCE WOULD BE OFFERED.

TAMARA RECALL I HAVE REPLACED TWO HARD FUEL LINES IN THE LAST MONTH FROM THEM CRACKING OR THE WELD FAILURE AND NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE ONE OF THEM AGAIN. WHEN THESE LINES FAIL THEY SPRAY FUEL ON THE HOT ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION THAT COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO START ON FIRE

CAR STARTED RUNNING ROUGHLY. IT WAS LOUD UPON STARTING. THE CAR WOULD MAKE ESPECIALLY LOUD NOISES WHEN ON CURVES. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD IT CHECKED BY A MECHANIC. WAS TOLD THE TIMING CHAIN IS BAD AND NEEDS REPLACED. THIS MECHANIC TOLD ME HE SEES THIS PROBLEM A LOT & IT HAS TO BE REPAIRED BY A DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP'S COST FOR THIS REPAIR IS $4400. I CAN'T AFFORD THAT. UPON CALLING MECHANICS ALL OVER TOWN, THEY ALL SAY IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM'S TIMING CHAINS.

THE RPM GAUGE IS FLUCTUATING UP AN DOWN WHEN I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, HIGHWAY, CITY ROADS IT IS HAPPENING WHEN COLD OR WARM AND IT DON'T MATTER IF IT'S FLAT ROADS OR A INCLINE. IT BEEN HAPPENING MORE AN MORE NOW.

WHILE GOING UNDER 10MPH ON A ROADWAY, (3) DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, MY STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. I BRAKED AND THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT RESUMED STEERING. GOT HOME AND MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID, ALL FULL. CALLED LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE BUT MANY SURROUNDING YEARS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN RECALLED.

WHEN DRIVING MY CAR AND HOLDING THE SPEED AT 50-60MPH THE RPM BEGIN TO FLUCTUATE AND THE CAR SHUDDERS. ALSO WHEN GOING UP HILLS IT DOES THEM SAME THING AND AND FEELS AS IF IT HAS A HARDER TIME SHIFTING.MY CAR ONLY HAS 97944 MILES ON IT.

SERVICE AIR BAG MESSAGE IS ON. THERE WAS A RECALL ON OTHER YEAR MODELS THAT CAUSED THIS LIGHT TO COME ON AND I WONDERED IF THIS WAS THE SAME CONNECTOR DEFECT.

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. MY HUSBAND JUMPED THE CAR OFF AND ONCE STARTED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH AN ERROR CODE OF P062F. NOW, IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY BUT IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENTLY IN LAST WEEK' IT WILL FAIL TO START THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL APPEAR WITH THE SAME ERROR CODE, WHILE DRIVING AT TIMES IT WILL BEGIN TO STALL UNTIL THE GAS PETAL IS ENGAGED AGAIN. PER THE GMC DEALERSHIP IT'S THE CHASSIS ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE HOWEVER MY VEHICLE YEAR MODEL DOESN'T FALL UNDER THE RECALL, BY ONE YEAR.

POWER LIFTGATE CLOSES UNEXPECTEDLY AFTER OPENING COMPLETELY BOTH WHEN VEHICLE IS ON OR OFF BUT PARKED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC ACADIA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE STEERING SHOOK AND MADE NOISES. IN ADDITION, THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 105,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH OF THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS WERE INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT CHANGED THE BULBS TWICE, BUT THEY KEPT GOING OUT. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CENTRAL GMC (2907 E PARKER RD, JONESBORO, AR 72404), BUT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,600.

MY 2012 GMC ACADIA WAS RECALLED REGARDING THE LIFTGATE FALLING. I TOOK MY ACADIA IN TO BE SERVICED AS PART OF THIS RECALL IN 2017. NOW, IN 2019 MY LIFTGATE FALLS. WHILE MY ACADIA WAS IN "PARK" I PRESSED THE BUTTON TO OPEN THE POWER LIFTGATE, THE LIFTGATE CLOSED WHILE I WAS UNLOADING THE TRUNK. I WAS WEDGED BETWEEN THE BUMPER OF THE ACADIA AND THE LIFTGATE. I HAD TO PUSH AGAINST THE LIFTGATE (WHILE IT CONTINUED TO TRY AND CLOSE) IN ORDER TO DISLODGE MYSELF. AFTER GETTING THE LIFTGATE OPEN I LET GO AND IT FELL QUICKLY AND SLAMMED SHUT. HAD MY CHILDREN BEEN PRESENT AND WERE HELPING UNLOAD THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY AND EVEN DEATH. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN AND NO LONGER ALLOW THEM TO GO NEAR THE REAR OF THE "FAMILY" VEHICLE. I DID TAKE MY ACADIA IN TO BE SERVICED PER THE RECALL AND MY LIFTGATE FALLS. I WRITE THIS COMPLAINT TO WARN OTHER PARENTS THAT EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY HAVE HAD YOUR VEHICLE SERVICED AS PART OF THE LIFTGATE RECALL IT DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT YOUR LIFTGATE WILL NOT FALL.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS LAST WEEK MY 2012 AWD ACADIA HAVING A MAJOR MALFUNCTION. 1. WHILE DRIVING, DOOR LOCKS ENGAGE/DISENGAGE 2. TRANS APPEARS TO SLIP INTO NEUTRAL (HIGH REV/ NO POWER) 3. ON THE DASHBOARD DIGITAL READOUT THE TRANSMISSION "BLINKED" INTO P FROM D (WHILE DRIVING) 4. TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGES/DISENGAGES AND THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD AND HARD STOPS 5. TRANS ENTERS SOME SORT OF LIMP HOME MODE WHERE IT ALLOWS ME TO DRIVE ONLY UP TO 60MPH, @4000 RPM (LIKE 3RD GEAR) THIS PROCESS REPEATED CONTINUALLY FOR OVER AN HOUR DRIVE TO THE DEALER, NORMAL OPERATION APPEARED TO OCCUR AT SPEEDS BELOW 45MPH, BUT ONLY TEMPORARILY AND THE ISSUE CONTINUED AGAIN AT THE LOWER SPEEDS. I CALL ONSTAR AND THEY PULL CODES FOR ME WHILE ENROUTE TO THE DEALER: ECM CODE =U0101 TCM CODE= NONE (FAILED TO PROBE MODULE) ABS CODE= U0101 ABS CODE= C0561 (ISSUE WITH TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM)- "SERVICE WITHIN 7 DAYS" A QUICK SEARCH IN AUTOMOTIVE FORUMS REVEALS SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WITH ALMOST THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, WITH NO SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS.

UNDER ACCELERATION THE VEHICLE SHUTTERS BETWEEN 1100-2300 RPM THE VEHICLE SHAKES AND IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH ALL OF THESE VEHICLES THIS MAJOR TRANSMISSION ISSUE MUST BE ADDRESSED AS THIS IS A WAVE PLATE ISSUE IN THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE TRANSMISSION MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT 86,000 MILES AND IS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE AND MUST ME ADDRESSED IF NOT THIS CAN RESULT IN A SUDDEN LOSS IN POWER ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT THIS RECALL WAS EXECUTED ON THE 2007-10 ACADIA, TRAVERSE, OUTLOOK. NUMBER 10126145.
