2014 GMC Acadia Complaint Log

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR BEGAN SHUTTERING AND THE WARNING SYSTEM WENT OFF STATING THE TRACTION CONTROL HAD GONE OFF. THEN IT SAID ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SERVICE ENGINE, AND SERVICE TRACTION. THE CAR BEGAN SHAKING AND IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. UPON RESTARTING THE CAR I RECEIVED A MESSAGE THAT SAID TRACTION CONTROL ON. BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO WHICH THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. AFTER DOING A GOOGLE SEARCH TODAY, I FOUND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN GMC ACADIA AND I AM SHOCKED THAT IT HASN'T BE REPORTED/RECALLED. IN RETROSPECT, I HAVE NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES WHEN I ACCELERATE, THE CAR WILL FAIL TO SHIFT GEARS IN A TIMELY MANNER AND JERK FORWARD WHEN IT FINALLY DOES SO. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH ALL THREE OF MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPEND!

The contact owns a 2014 GMC Acadia. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH, the air bag warning light illuminated. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V334000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. Parts distribution disconnect.

THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. FROM 5MPH-70MPH. THIS HAPPENS ERRATICALLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. IT RESULTS IN AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OFF ALL POWER.

TIMING CHAIN/BELT. SUV IS MAKING A LOUD RATTLE WHEN TURNING VEHICLE ON. I GOT THIS ISSUE "FIXED" LAST YEA RIGHT AT 79,000 MILES. WARRANTY PAID FOR IT. 20,000 MILES LATE I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN, RATTLE NOISE, ENGINE LIGHT ON, AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. IT WORRIES THAT THIS WILL BE A MAJOR IF IT GIVES OUT WHILE I AM DRIVING WITH MY KIDS.

WHILE DRIVING COMING TO OUR DESTINATION STOP, AT BOUT 1000FT LEFT, MY 2014 ACADIA JUST STARTED SHAKING, AND MISFIRING AND LOSING POWER. ON THE STEERING COLUMN, THE NOTIFICATION STATES, TRACTION SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WE THEN CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND PUT IN PARK, THEN STARTED DRIVING AGAIN AND WENT OFF AFTER 2-3 MINUTES. THEN POWERED OFF AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS, AND OTHERS OFF.

ENGINE REDUCED POWER. VEHICLE WILL NO LONGER START. I WAS DRIVING AND LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING. I PULLED OVER EVEN THOUGH POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING.HAD CAR TOWED TO CONLEY AUTOMOTIVE, WIMBERLEY, TX. DIAGNOSIS FROM CONLEY SAID FAULTY FUSE BOX. THEY SAID IT WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN PROBLEM. I INPUT MY VIN# ON NHTSA AND FOIND RECALL ON ECM, ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE. WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE DEPT AT CHUCK NASH CHEVY DEALERSHIP , THEY SAID NO RECALLS WERE NOTED ON MY VEHICLE. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET THAT THIS IN FACT IS THE ISSUE WITH MY CAR. HOW DO I ADD MY VEHICLE TO THE SAFETY RECALL?

2014 GMC ACADIA WENT ABRUPTLY INTO WHAT THEY CALL LIMP MODE. THE ENGINE LOST POWER, WITH A MASSIVE SHUTTER THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE, NUMEROUS WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH, SAYING REDUCED POWER, LOW VOLTAGE, TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITY CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAVE DONE SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AND SEEMS TO BE A BIG ISSUE FOR THE ACADIA! A RECALL TO GENERAL MOTORS IS IN ORDER SO ALL THESE SAFETY ISSUES GET ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THERE ARE STORIES THAT THE DEALERS HAVE FIXED THEM BUT A WEEK OR TWO LATER THE ISSUES RETURNED. PLEASE HELP US

THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES CONTINUED DESPITE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS CHECKING VARIOUS PROBLEMS. THE FUSE BLOCK WAS REPLACED AND FOR A MONTH THINGS WERE FINE, BUT THE CAR IS STILL EXPERIENCING CONSTANT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, DIFFICULTY STARTING, DOESN'T STOP RIGHT AWAY WHEN TURNED OFF, RANDOM STALLING, YOU NAME IT. IT FEELS LIKE A DEATH TRAP.

THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT JUST CAME ON THIS GMC HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND CLEAN NO DAMAGE AT ALL TO THE CAR IT JUST CAME ON , I GOOGLED IT AND HAVE SEEN COMPLAINTS APON COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT BUT NOTHING DONE I PUT MY CHILDREN AND GIRLFRIEND AND MYSELF IN THIS CAR AND IT MAKES ME SICK TO MY STOMACH NOW TO KNOW THE AIRBAG OR SOMETHING IS WRONG

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON. THE LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME.

FUEL GAUGE READS INACCURATELY AND SYSTEM REGISTERS FUEL TANK EMPTY AT AROUND 1/4 OF A TANK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35-40 MPH, THE AIR BAGS WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PHIL MOORE BUICK GMC (5728, I-55, JACKSON, MS 39211, (601) 376-9934) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE WIRING UNDERNEATH THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT WAS LOOSENED AND NEEDED TO BE ADJUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

45,000 MILES. 2014 ACADIA SLT2 AWD. POWER STEERING FAILURE. FLUID DRIVEN POWER STEERING IS FAILING, LOUD WHINE NOISE FROM HYDRAULIC FLUID PUMP. FLUID IS FULL. STEERING IS VERY HARD TO TURN, NO POWER ASSIST ESPECIALLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS OR AT A STOP. SLIGHTLY BETTER IF RAISING ENGINE SPEED ABOVE 2500 RPMS

AFTER START UP (WHILE DRIVING OR WITH VEHICLE AT REST) SERVICE AIRBAG NOTIFICATION POPS UP AND REMAINS ON DASH CENTER NOTIFICATION AREA ALONG WITH AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT ON DASH. DEALER WANTS OVER $1,000 TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER RECALL OR WARRANTY SPECIAL COVERAGE. THIS TYPE OF VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE SHOULDN'T BE LIMITED BY A 3 YEAR/36,000 MILE WARRANTY. OWNERS MANUAL STATES THAT AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER CLAIMS THAT THE SYSTEM FAULT WILL NOT PREVENT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, BUT I WOULDN'T TRUST THAT GIRL ON THE PHONE TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE HER OWN WIPER BLADES, LET ALONE EXPLAIN THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. GMC NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING AT ALARMING RATES WITH THEIR 2014 GMC ACADIAS. THIS IS NOT LIMITED ONLY TO THE 2013 AND OLDER GMC ACADIAS. *TR

SO WHEN I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR TWO MONTHS NOW AND THIS MORNING WHEN I LEFT FOR WORK THE "SERVICE AIRBAG" LIGHT AND WARNING DISPLAY CAME IN Y. I HAVE ATTEMPTED EVERYTHING TO HAVE IT GO OFF THAT WAS RECOMMENDED BY OTHER ACADIA OWNERS. NOTHING HAD WORKED ...I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE EXACT SAME THING AND FEEL THAT BECAUSE TO BE ADDRESSED BY GM. I DO NOT THINK THAT I ADD A SINGLE MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER SHOULD BE OUT 590 TO 600 DOLLARS FOR SOMETHING THAT IS OBVIOUSLY A MALFUNCTION THAT GM CANNOT GET RIGHT. PERIOD IS IN THE PRIOR VEHICLES. *TR

SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM MALFUNCTION

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC ACADIA. WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE'S SPEED DECREASED AFTER THE SERVICE STABILITRAK AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. VEHICLE STARTED JERKING AND WOULD ACCELERATE. CONTACT CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE SPEED DECREASING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. I CAME TO A STOPPING POINT AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART IT THEN THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING WENT AWAY. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. IT SEEM TO BE DOING IT MORE OFTEN NOW.

A CODE P1682 -IGNITION SWITCH CIRCUIT WILL POP UP. I'VE HAD THE PROBLEM FOR A YEAR, THE VEHICLE WILL SEEM LIKE IT DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF POWER AT TIMES. THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON, REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND TRACTION CONTROL OFF. THE BATTERY VOLTAGE DROPS BELOW 13 . I HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, THROTTLE BODY, GAS PEDAL SENSORY. IT DOES ALL OF THAT WHILE DRIVING, AND STARTS TO STALL ON ME. THAT CODE POPPED UP ONCE LAST YEAR AND I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WOULDN'T COME UP AND IT'S DOING IT A LOT MORE. I HAVE DID RESEARCH AND HAVE SEEN MANY ISSUES WITH A FUSE BLOCK AND IGNITION SWITCH.

MY SUV THAT I LIKE VERY MUCH RECENTLY STARTED HAVING ISSUES WHILE TURNING. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH GMC ACADIA MODELS. THIS COULD EASILY CAUSE A WRECK AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING. SINCE THERE ARE ALOT OF REPORTS FOR THIS ISSUE I THOUGHT THAT THERE WOULD BE A RECALL , UNFORTUNATELY WHEN I SEARCHED MY VIN NO RECALL WAS FOUND. THERE ARE ALOT OFF ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL AND PROBLEM THEREFORE IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY GMC.

WHILE DRIVING, BOTH A SERVICE AIR BAG MESSAGE AND THE AIRBAG READINESS LIGHT ARE PERIODICALLY DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND DO NOT REAPPEAR WHEN THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. AFTER A FULL DIAGNOSTICS CHECK COMPLETED AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE TECHNICIAN INDICATED THAT THE WARNING MESSAGES ARE DUE TO FAULTY CONNECTIONS IN THE WIRING HARNESS THAT NEED TO BE RE-SOLDERED TO ENSURE A PROPER CONNECTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. A LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

MY HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD & THE DRL LED LIGHTS AROUND THE HEADLIGHTS WERE STILL ON, BUT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT. I TRIED TURNING THE LIGHTS OFF/ON, TRIED TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF/ON. MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE FUSES, RELAY, & SENSORS, AS WELL AS CHANGED BOTH BULBS AND THEY STILL WILL NOT WORK. IT WAS DARK WHILE I WAS DRIVING, WHICH POSED A DANGEROUS SITUATION. UPON RESEARCHING ONLINE, THERE SEEMS TO BE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PENSKE CADILLAC OF SOUTH BAY 18600 HAWTHORNE BLVD, TORRANCE, CA 90504 (310) 697-1800 WHERE DIAGNOSED THAT CONNECTOR UNDERNEATH THE SEAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO HIGH RESISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS SIMILAR TO SERVICE BULLETIN 10057064-3254. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

WAS BACKING UP ON A DRIVEWAY AND WAS NEXT TO A CAR AND APPARENTLY WAS CLOSER THAN I THOUGHT AND HIT THE CAR BECAUSE MY SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM IS NOT OPERATING AND NO SENSORS OR WARNING SOUNDS WENT OFF. 'SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM' IS ON MY DASH.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MPH, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THEN REDUCED ENGINE POWER ALERT. THE CAR WENT DOWN TO 8 MPH AND HARD TO STEER. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO PULL OFF ON THE SIDE WITHOUT GETTING HIT. TURNED OFF THE CAR (45 MINS) AS I WAS WAITING FOR MY SPOUSE AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, IT STARTED WITHOUT AN ISSUE. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON A FEW TIMES AND THEN IT TURNS OFF ON ITS OWN. THE CAR HAS SHUT DOWN A FEW TIMES WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY - TURNING FROM A STOP OR IN DRIVE-THRU. TOOK IT TO THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE ISSUE AND FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I ALSO GET THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT TURN ON AND OFF RANDOMLY.

WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A GMC DEALERSHIP AND THEY CANNOT HELP US. THEY REPAIRED SEVERAL RANDOM PARTS. MINE FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE CAR SEEMS TO STALL IN BETWEEN GEARS. RANDOMLY DRIVING SOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR WILL STALL AND THEN CATCH. SOMETIMES IT IS TERRIFYING. AND NOW WE ARE EXPERIENCING HOT AIR FLOW IN THE CABIN AND THE BACK AIR WON'T STAY ON CONSISTENTLY. IT SHUTS OFF AND THEN ON. IT'S INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING.

MY 2014 GMC ACADIA SHUTS OFF FROM TIME TO TIME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH NO WARNINGS AND THERE IS NO ACTIVE CODES ON A SCANNER NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS RADIO KEEPS PLAYING AND DASH IS STILL LIT UP BUT ENGIN IS NOT RUNNING THIS RESULTS IN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND THE BRAKES NOT WORKING PROPERLY ONCE YOU GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AND TURN THE KEY THE CAR STARTS BACK UP AND CONTINUES TO RUN NORMALLY THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO TIMES TO ME IN ABOUT A 3 WEEK PERIOD NOT SURE WHAT THE ISSUE IS BUT I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND A LOT OF THE SAME ISSUE EVERY TIME THIS ISSUE OCCURRED IT WAS WHILE TURNING ON TO A BUSY STREET. I FEEL SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED DO TO THIS PROBLEM

FIRST, 2 DAYS AFTER WE PURCHASED THE CAR, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THEN THE FRONT CAMERA NEEDED SERVICE AND THE SIDE WARNINGS STOPPED. THEN THE SEAT HEATERS QUIT. THE FOBS BOTH QUIT WORKING, WOULD. IT PROPERLY UNLOCK THE DOORS. WE GOT AN AIRBAG NEEDS SERVICE WARNING. A CHECK GAGES WARNING. A SERVICE TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM WARNING. FINALLY, THE ENGINE LOCKS UP AND WON'T START, TURN OVER, OR ANYTHING. SEVERAL HOURS LATER, THE CAR STARTS. THEN IT GOES THROUGH THE WHOLE CYCLE AGAIN OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS TIL IT DOESN'T START AGAIN AND LEAVES US STRANDED. AGAIN. THE FIRST TIME, THE MCDANIEL GMC SERVICE DEPARTMENT CHANGED OUT THE BATTERY AND BELIEVED THAT WOULD FIX IT. WE PAID $190 FOR THAT. IT DIDN'T WORK. IT WENT THROUGH THE SAME CYCLE AGAIN WITHIN A MONTH. NOW THEY EXPECT US TO PAY TO HAVE HE MODULE FIXED, EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR IT WHEN HEY SOLD IT TO US.

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FOR A COUPLE WEEKS. AS OF 4 DAYS AGO IT HAS BEEN ON AND STAYED ON. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE SENSOR IN THE SEAT AND FROM RESEARCH IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE SAW THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATE IN HER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT RECIEVED AN EMAIL FOR RECALLS ALERTING HER FOR THE TAKATA AIR BAGS HOWEVER THE VIN TOOL SHOWED NO RECALLS. THE DEALER BRYNER CHEVROLET, INC. 1750 THE FAIRWAY, JENKINTOWN, PA 19046 (215) 886-3140 DID NOT SEE THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATE AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE DID NOT KNOW IF THE DEALER DID ANYMORE DIAGNOSTIC WORK TO CHECK THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE RECURRED AGAIN RECENTLY WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATING. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS UNREPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

STARTED THE CAR ON A RAINY DAY AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND A MESSAGE DISPLAYED "SERVICE AIR BAG". I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND THE MESSAGE AND AIRBAG LIGHT STAYED ON. I HAVE SEARCHED SEVERAL FORMS WHERE SEVERAL CONSUMERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE.

CAR WAS BANGING INTO SECOND GEAR PERIODICALLY SINCE THE DAY WE GOT IT AS A CPO ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NORMAL. FAST FORWARD TO LAST WEEK WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR WAS BUCKING AND SLAMMING INTO GEARS AND STALLING OUT AT LIGHTS. WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE CAR NEEDED A TRANSMISSION AND IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. GM CORPORATE DID NOTHING TO HELP WITH THE COST AND NOW I'M ON THE HOOK FOR A $6,000 BILL. PLUS I HAVE TO FIND A RENTAL CAR TO WAIT FOR THE BACK ORDERED TRANSMISSION TO ARRIVE BECAUSE OF THE STRIKE. NEVER AGAIN GM

THE STEERING TWO DAYS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT WAS REALLY TIGHT AND HARD TO STEER AS IS THERE WERE NO POWER STEERING THE VEHICLE TWO DAYS LATER BROKE DOWN ON THE INTERSTATE I WENT FROM 70MPH TO 30MPH WITHIN SECONDS WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED THE SEAT BELT JERKED MY SHOULDER IT JERKED SO HARD WHEN THE ENGINE REDUCED POWER DUE TO WHAT THE MESSAGE ON THE DASH SAID WAS A TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM FAILURE I SPENT 1600 GETTING THE POWER STEERING PUMP, WATER PUMP AND WHAT THEY SAID WAS A LOOSE WIRE CAUSING TH TRACTION CONTROL PROBLEM FIXED JUST FOR THE CAR TO BREAK DOWN AGAIN WITH THE SAME TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM FAILURE MESSAGE THE CAR SLOWED DOWN SO QUICKLY I HIT THE STEERING WHEEL WITH MY SEAT BELT ON AND THE BREAKS WERE VERY HARD TO PUSH I HAD TO CRAWL TO A STOP ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED AGAIN AND NO STEERING THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE THERE SHOULD BE A LAW SUIT

THE GEARS SOMETIMES DOES A HARD PUSH WHEN CHANGING GEARS AUTOMATICALLY. THE DASHBOARD LIGHT KEEPS TURNING OFF AND DRIVER CAN NOT SEE THE SPEEDOMOTOR ETC.

MY "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT AND WARNING CAME ON AND WE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO STATED IT IS THE WIRING UNDER MY DRIVERS SEAT CAUSING THE WARNING LIGHT. THE LIGHT FIRST CAME ON A FEW DAYS AGO WHEN I TURNED MY CAR ON AND WE HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THE LIGHT WILL GO ON AND OFF IF I MOVE MY DRIVERS SEAT FORWARD AND BACK, BUT THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX AS THE WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON IN THE SEAT POSITION I NEED TO KEEP IT IN FOR DRIVING. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALLED 2008-2013 GMC ACADIA. MINE IS A 2014 AND NOT A PART OF THE OFFICIAL RECALL, BUT CLEARLY THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED AT THE EXPENSE OF GM.

"SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND STAYING ON. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WE PURCHASED FROM AND THEY TOLD US THE PROBLEM WAS UNDER THE SEAT AND HE RECONNECTED THE WIRES AND TOLD US IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE IT. IT HAPPENED OVER AND OVER. IF YOU MOVE THE SEAT, IT WOULD TURN ON OR OFF. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT REPLACED BUT INSTEAD THEY TOLD US THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM THAT IT WAS IN THE DOOR. WE PAID THE $450.00 AND 7 DAYS LATER THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" CAME ON AGAIN. WE ARE TAKING IT BACK TOMORROW. THIS ISSUE, TO ME, IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS, AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT WORK BECAUSE OF THIS NOT BEING FIXED CORRECTLY.... COULD CAUSE A DEATH. THIS BEGAN IN LATE 2019. IT COMES ON AT START UP, OR WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT COMES ON ANYTIME AND HAS STAYED ON AND UNABLE TO CLEAR IT UNTIL WE FIGURED OUT TO MOVE SEAT AND IT TURNS ITSELF OFF, SOMETIMES.

SERVICE AIG BAG LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED. FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE, WHEN THIS OCCURS, IT DISABLES THE AIRBAGS FROM FUNCTIONING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN AN IMPACT COLLISION. IT APPEARS THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON GMC ACADIAS FOR THIS ISSUE THROUGH THE 2013 MODEL. THIS IS AN ON-GOING ISSUE WITH THE ACADIA THAT RESULTS IN A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING SAFETY FEATURE NOT WORKING.

GAS GAUGE SUDDENLY DROPPED TO "0" WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE YET IT HAD GAS IN IT.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO MY CAR STARTED LOSING POWER WHEN DRIVING. IT OFTEN HAPPENS WHEN ENTERING OR EXITING THE HIGHWAY. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS YESTERDAY ON THE HIGHWAY OFF RAMP. THE CAR LOSES POWER AND A MESSAGE COMES ON SAYING SERVICE STABILITRAK TRACTION CONTROL OFF ENGINE POWER REDUCED, THE ENGINE IDLES ROUGH AND I CANNOT GET BACK UP TO SPEED. I HAVE TO STOP THE CAR COMPLETELY, TURN IT OFF AND WAIT 20-30 SECONDS THEN TURN IT BACK ON. I HAVE TAKEN THE TWICE TO THE DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM.

IN ORDER TO STOP MY VEHICLE I'M HAVING TO APPLY A LOT OF PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN I'M DRIVING IT SOUNDS LIKE THE BRAKES ATTEMPT TO ENGAGE ON THEIR OWN AND MAKE A SCRUBBING SOUND.

ON SATURDAY EVENING AUGUST 3, 2019 MY WIFE, WHO WAS DRIVING OUR 2014 GMC ACADIA, REPORTED TO ME THAT A RED AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT AND THE MESSAGE "SERVICE AIR BAG" CAME ON AND REMAINED ON WHILE DRIVING. ON SUNDAY AUGUST 4, THE WARNING LIGHT AND MESSAGE WENT OFF DURING THE DAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, BUT LATER CAME ON WHEN MY WIFE DROVE THE VEHICLE DURING THE EVENING. ON MONDAY AUGUST 5 WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE ACADIA, BOTH THE WARNING LIGHT AND MESSAGE "SERVICE AIR BAG" CAME ON AND STAYED ON WHILE DRIVING. ON MONDAY AUGUST 5 I DROVE THE ACADIA TO A GM DEALERSHIP AS SOON AS IT OPENED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WERE TWO DIAGNOSIS CODES FOR TWO SEPARATE FAILURES RELATING TO THE AIR BAGS. THE FIRST WAS CODE B0022 (WHICH THE DEALERSHIP SAID WAS RELATED TO A WIRING FAILURE). THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THIS FAILURE CODE OF B0022 WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY PURSUANT TO GM SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT NUMBER 15804. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE SECOND DIAGNOSIS CODE WAS B0058 (WHICH THE DEALERSHIP SAID WAS A FAILED SENSOR). THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS NEEDED TO BE FIXED IN ORDER FOR THE AIRBAGS TO WORK. THE DEALERSHIP SAID, HOWEVER, THAT REPLACEMENT OF THE SENSOR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ADJUSTMENT 15804. THE DEALERSHIP DID OFFER A DISCOUNTED CHARGE FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE FAILED SENSOR AND AS OF THIS WRITING THE VEHICLE REMAINS AT THE DEALERSHIP TO MAKE ALL REPAIRS NECESSARY FOR THE AIR BAGS TO WORK. I HAVE ADVISED THE DEALERSHIP OF MY INTENTION TO REPORT THE SENSOR FAILURE ISSUE TO NTSB SO THAT NTSB AND GM ARE AWARE OF IT. I HAVE ALSO REPORTED THE ABOVE TO GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND AM AWAITING A RETURN CALL FROM A "SENIOR ADVISOR". I HAVE ALSO REQUESTED THAT GM COVER ALL COSTS RELATING TO THE SENSOR FAILURE AS WELL AS THE WIRING FAILURE AS I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT BOTH RELATE TO THE FAILURE OF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM.

THE FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO E WHEN YOU STILL HAVE APPROX 1/4 TANK OF FUEL. THERE WAS RECALL FOR THIS BUT IT SEEMS IT DOES NOT COVER MY VEHICLE BY VIN.

VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS ABRUPTLY STOPPED WORKING. HEADLIGHTS ARE IN AUTO RUNNING LIGHTS POSITION, BUT WILL NOT TURN ON. NO HEADLIGHTS AVAILABLE, ONLY OPTION TO USE IS FOG LIGHTS. THIS OCCURRED AFTER 9 PM ON A HIGHWAY, CREATING A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. VEHICLE BROUGHT TO 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS SHOPS AND NO PROBLEMS WITH HEADLIGHTS WERE DETECTED, NO PROBLEMS WITH FUSES, COMPUTER OR BATTERY DETECTED, NO LAMPS NEEDED REPLACEMENT. TWO MONTHS LATER NO SOLUTION FOUND. THE VEHICLE IS NOT OPERATIONAL DURING POOR WEATHER OR AFTER DARK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V614000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) BY SERRA BUICK GMC CADILLAC (12300 30 MILE RD, WASHINGTON, MI 48095, (586) 331-2540). AFTER THE CONTACT RETRIEVED THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. SERRA BUICK GMC CADILLAC (12300 30 MILE RD, WASHINGTON, MI 48095, (586) 331-2540) DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 97,725.

MY SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE STABLILITREK COMES ON WHILE I'M DRIVING WHICH IS VERY BECAUSE THE CAR JERKS WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE AT A CERTAIN SPEED. AND WHEN I GO AROUND A CURVE THE STABLILITREK ACTIVE COME ON AND THE CAR MAKES A HUMMING NOISE.

THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE CONTROL MODULES FOR THE DRIVER SAFETY/ASSIST SYSTEMS AND GM SENT A LETTER INDICATING THAT THEY WOULD REPAIR VEHICLES THAT MET A CERTAIN MILEAGE AND AGE CRITERIA. MY VEHICLE DID NOT MEET THESE CRITERIA. THE FAULT DRAINED MY BATTERY AND I HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED AND THE DEALER INDICATED IT COULD BE $5000 TO FIX ALL THE OTHER ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE FAULTY CONTROL MODULES. AS A RESULT, MY WIFE HAS NOW HAS NO BLIND SPOT MONITORING/INDICATOR, THE FORWARD/REAR CRASH MONITORING/ALERT SYSTEM DOESN'T FUNCTION AND ALL OF THE THE OTHER PROXIMITY/SAFETY SYSTEMS DON'T FUNCTION EITHER. IN ADDITION, OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES ARE NOW STARTING TO SURFACE AND THE GARAGE DOOR OPENER NO LONGER FUNCTIONS. I AM SCARED THAT THIS MAY LEAD TO A SERIOUS ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION, SHORT, OR FIRE THAT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. AS A RESULT, I RECENTLY PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE FOR HER BUT I AM NOW DRIVING THE IMPACTED VEHICLE.

"SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER MADE WIRING REPAIR TO A SIR MODULE AND REPLACED A SIR SYSTEM SENSOR FOR APPROXIMATELY $530. IMMEDIATELY AFTER PICKING THE VEHICLE UP FROM THE DEALER THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" CAME ON AGAIN. THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO FIND A "BULLETIN" FROM GMC ADVISING TECHNICIANS TO CORRECT PROBLEM BY SOLDERING SOME ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS. THIS APPEARS TO HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SUBSTANTIAL DESIGN FLAW AND SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR A MISSION CRITICAL SYSTEM WHERE RELIABILITY IS PARAMOUNT. THIS PART DOES NOT ROTATE, IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO ANY UNKNOWN WEAR AND TEAR, THERE ARE NO PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ACTIONS PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT GMC HAS NOT ADEQUATELY ADVISED THEIR DEALERS AND TECHNICIANS THAT THIS DEFICIENCY EXISTS AND WHAT THE PROPER CORRECTIVE ACTIONS IS WITHOUT EXORBITANT COSTS TO THE CONSUMER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM ACTIVATED EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. ALSO, "SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM" ILLUMINATED ON THE MESSAGE CENTER. IN ADDITION, THE TURN SIGNALS DID NOT OPERATE INTERNALLY, ONLY EXTERNALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BEARDMORE CHEVROLET (418 FORT CROOK RD. N, BELLEVUE, NE 68005) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A HARNESS THAT FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE TO QUALIFY FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY UNDER BULLETIN NUMBER: 16-NA-178 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

THE AIRBAG SERVICE WARNING CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. PLEASE ASSIST ASAP, WE DRIVE OUR CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE.

I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 67000 MILE ON MY CAR AND TODAY THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON OFF AND ON I WILL PUT FUEL AND AND THE GAUGE STILL READS EMPTY OR HALF TANK TAKES RESTARTING CAR MANY TIMES BEFORE READS ACCURATELY ALSO PASSENGER SEAT BELT ALARM WILL GO OFF WHEN NO ONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT
