Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)Gas gauge is incorrect. When I put fuel in the tank within min gauge drops to empty. Car sputters when idling. Car stalled 10x or more. Fuel pump has been replaced. Fuel pump module has been replaced. Did not fix the problem.
Fuel gauge is incorrect. It says I went 20 miles when I only went two. Then when car is in park the gauge goes back up but when moving the gauge goes down quickly. This had caused me to run out of Gas when I shouldn’t have and it’s adding miles to my odometer that I never went or it’s fluctuating and that’s faulty.

fuel gage incorrect. parked at work with a third of a tank of gas, when i left work later that day it said i was on empty. got to closest gas station and put in $20. gauge told me I had half a tank but it takes $70 to fill the tank, so there is no way $20 would give that. then I drove about mile to my parents house and while sitting in the drive way the gauge now said I had over half a tank. then i drove 4 miles home and the range went from 162 miles to 134. called dealer regarding the recall bulletin 14007b and was told my car wasnt part of it even though it is a 2014 gmc acadia and is having the issues described in the bulletin.
The fuel tank gauge es do not read probably when on a fourth take when driven less then a mile it read empty

MY CAR RAN OUT OF GAS WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I LOOKED UP MY VIN NUMBER AND ITS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL HOWEVER IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED. I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND NEVER RAN OUT OF GAS BEFORE. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH MY FUEL GAUGE AND GMC IS NOT RECALLING MY VEHICLE, AND CONSIDERING GMC'S RECENT PAST REGARDING RECALLS I BELIEVE GMC IS CONTINUING THIS TREND OF NOT RECALLING THE VEHICLES THAT IT SHOULD. *TR

SINCE THE DAY I DROVE MY ACADIA OFF THE LOT THERE HAS BEEN A "CLICK" THAT OCCURS WHICH SOUNDS LIKE IT IS COMING FROM THE ENGINE THAT CAN BE FELT UNDER THE GAS PEDAL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR, BUT ONLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND NEVER AGAIN WHEN SWITCHING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR UNTIL IT HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THE NOISE IT MAKES SOUNDS LIKE A MARBLE ROLLING ON A WOODEN FLOOR FOR ABOUT 1-2 SECONDS AND THEN CLICK AND THEN THE GEAR SHIFTS. THE DEALER SAID THEY DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING BUT I DO AS WELL AS OTHER PASSENGERS DO EVERY DAY. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED AND THEN ACCELERATING, THE ENGINE SLAMS INTO GEAR WHEN BETWEEN 10-15 MPH BUT ONLY AFTER A TURN AND AN ATTEMPT AT ACCELERATION. ALSO, MY ACADIA IS NOT A VEHICLE UNDER THE "FAULTY GAS GAUGE" RECALL HOWEVER ONCE MY VEHICLE IS BELOW 1/4 TANK THE NEEDLE ON THE GAS GAUGE WILL JUMP FROM 1/8 TANK TO 1/16, BACK UP TO 1/8 OF A TANK ALL WHILE DRIVING ON FLAT ROADWAYS. CONCURRENTLY, THE RANGE FOR THE FUEL ON THE DIGITAL SCREEN GOES FROM 95 TO 58 TO 72 ALL WHILE DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AT A CONSISTENT SPEED. LASTLY, THE VEHICLE HAS THE DENALI GRILL WHICH LEAVES MINIMAL AIRFLOW FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. UP TO THREE HOURS AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF (IN A COOL GARAGE) YOU CAN STILL FEEL THE HEAT COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IF YOU PLACE YOUR HAND IN FRONT OF THE GRILL. COULD THIS BE A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD? ALL OF THESE ISSUES BEGAN WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH 60 MILES ON IT AND CONTINUE NOW AT 15,500 MILES. I DRIVE FREQUENTLY AND CAN TELL YOU THAT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY VEHICLE BUT AM UNSURE WHAT TO DO AS THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE ONLY RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE IS THE SEATBELT ISSUE BUT I THINK THERE ARE SERIOUS ENGINE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY GM. *TR
I WAS DRIVING TO GO MEET MY HUSBAND FOR LUNCH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK AND TURNED OFF. I TURNED OUT OF TRAFFIC ONTO THE FIRST SIDE STREET I FOUND. ONSTAR FOUND MY LOCATION AND SENT A TOW TRUCK. DESPITE MY VEHICLE READING I HAD 1/4 TANK OF AS, I HAD ACTUALLY RAN OUT OF GAS. I HAVE NEVER RAN OUT OF GAS IN A VEHICLE. SEVERAL OTHER TIMES MY GAS HAND WOULD READ INACCURATELY. FOR INSTANCE, MY HAND MIGHT SHOW 1/2 TANK OF GAS, BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WOULD JUMP TO 3/4 TANK OF GAS. DESPITE HAVING MY VEHICLE REPAIRED 4 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR THE FUEL ISSUE, THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT MINE IS NOT BEING RECALLED. I DECIDED TO ADD MY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I BELIEVE, LIKE SOME OF THE OTHER COMPLAINANTS, THAT GM IS STILL HIDING WHAT IS TRULY WRONG WITH THESE VEHICLES. THIS WHOLE SITUATION IS SAD BECAUSE I USE THIS VEHICLE TO DRIVE MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL. I THINK GM IS STILL NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING BY THEIR CUSTOMERS. I HAVE OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. FOR INSTANCE, JUST LAST WEEK MY NAVIGATION SYSTEM WOULDN'T COME ON. AFTER PULLING OVER AND TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN, IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. I 'VE HAD THIS HAPPEN ALSO WHEN TRYING TO USE MY TRUNK AND BLUETOOTH. I ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE FACT THAT GM THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS SO SIGNIFICANT THAT THEY ISSUED A STOP DELIVERY ON THE 2014 ACADIA DUE TO THE FUEL ISSUE AND OTHER PROBLEMS INCLUDING THE SEATBELT, BUT THEY DO NOT THINK IT IS SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH OF A PROBLEM FOR PEOPLE WHO ALREADY OWN A 2014 ACADIA TO STOP DRIVING IT. I THINK GM NEEDS TO THINK ABOUT THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMERS AND FAMILIES AND BE TRUTHFUL ABOUT THE RECALLS AND WHAT IS REALLY WRONG WITH THESE VEHICLES. *TR
STARTED NOTICING THE GAS GAUGE WASN'T ACCURATE. I STARTED OUT WITH 1/4 TANK OF GAS AND DROVE NOT EVEN A MILE AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE NEEDLE WAS ON EMPTY. PANICKED AND DROVE TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION AND I PULLED UP TO THE PUMP AND MY GAS REAPPEARED. ANOTHER TIME I FILLED THE TANK AND DROVE APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES AND IT WENT FROM FULL TO 3/4 OF A TANK. WENT IN THE STORE, CAME OUT AND STARTED IT AND IT WAS FULL AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND ONCE RESULTING IN RUNNING OUT OF GAS ALTHOUGH IT SHOWED THERE WAS GAS. I NOW RESET THE MILEAGE TO ZERO WHEN I FILL UP AND KNOW HOW MANY MILES I SHOULD GET TO THE TANK AND REFUEL. I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT MY DEALERSHIP AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS A NEW FUEL SYSTEM GM WAS USING AND THERE WASN'T A RESOLUTION FOR IT. THERE HAS TO BE A RESOLUTION TO THIS! *TR
