ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE HAVE HAD OUR 2019 GMC ACADIA AT TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIIPS, RECENTLY WE HAD IT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED IT NEW IN 2019. THE DOOR LOCKS KEEP MALFUNCTIONING WHERE THEY EITHER WORK OR DON;T WORK AT TIMES. MY WIFE AND CHILD GET LOCKED OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE WOIRKED ON THE VEHICLE A HALD DOZEN TIMES BUT THE ISSUE IS STILL OCCURRING. THE ORGINAL DELAER NAME IS COCHRAN GM OF ROBINSON IN PITTSBURGH PA. THE DEALER HAS BEEN GREAT WITH US BUT THEY STILL CAN'T FIND THE ISSUE.

AIR BLOWS HOT AIR IN REAR AND PASSENGER SIDE AC VENTS AND DRIVER SIDE IS GETTING WARMER AS WELL. AIR DOESNT NOT BLOW COLD WHEN STATIONARY OR WHILE DRIVING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY FUEL GAUGE OCCASIONALLY REGISTERS AS EMPTY EVEN AFTER I FILL THE GAS TANK. THIS TYPICAL HAPPENS IF I LET THE FUEL GO BELOW 1/4 TANK. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE FIRST 30,000 MILES AND I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THERE WAS NO RECALL OR SAFETY ALERT FOR THIS CONDITION. IT GRADUALLY GOES UP AS I DRIVE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND MODEL YEAR.

AIR BAGS
I HAVE EXPERIENCED MY AIRBAG LIGHT GOING ON FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. DUE TO IT BEING OUT OF WARRANTY, I TOOK IT TO MY PERSONAL MECHANIC TO GET IT REPAIRED. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A HARNESS UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT. LESS THAN A YEAR LATER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT WAS THE HARNESS LOCATED UNDER THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND THE LIGHT HAS INTERMITTENTLY APPEARED AGAIN THE PAST 3 MONTHS

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHEN DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND SLOWING DOWN OR COMING TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE GOES COMPLETELY DEAD. I WILL HAVE TO RESTART AT EACH STOP. WHEN IT DOES START, IT IS NOT A SMOOTH TAKE OFF, IT IS EXTREMELY ROUGH, ALMOST LIKE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN THE WRONG GEAR. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. AND IT IS GETTING WORST EVERY DAY. I HAVE TO TRANSPORT MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS VERY UNSAFE FOR US. I STILL HAVE A YEAR TO PAY FOR IT AND I AM HEARING MORE AND MORE CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. THE DEALER DOESN'T WANT TO TOUCH IT, BECAUSE THEY ARE UNSURE WHAT IS WRONG, OR IF THEY CAN REPAIR IT. FRANKLY, THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE WITH THIS MANY CARS. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL NEAR-MISSES WITH ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE CAR STALLING IN TRAFFIC.

I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR ON AND OFF MANY TIMES PLUS PUT IT IN FORWARD, REVERSE, NEUTRAL AND MOST OF THE TIME THAT STILL DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF, AND IT IS ROLLING FORWARD OR BACKWARD WHILE IT IS PARKED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TURN OFF IT WILL RANDOMLY SAY "SHIFT TO PARK" IT STARTED DOING THIS IN AUG OR SEPT 2019 THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND I BROUGHT IT TO A DEALER TO "FIX". FAST FORWARD APRIL 2021 IT STARTED TO SAY SHIFT TO PARK AGAIN AND CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. CALLED DIFFERENT DEALERS EVEN THE ONE I BROUGHT THE CAR TO FIX PROBLEM (THAT WAS A JOKE), THEY KNOW ITS A PROBLEM AND SAYING SINCE THAT PART GOT FIXED IN 2019 WITH A BAD PART AND NOW THERE IS A A NEWER FIX THAT SHOULD WORK BETTER, BUT I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND PART AGAIN. AGAIN THEY KNOW IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON RESHIFT, PUSH THE SHIFTER HARDER, ETC TO GET THE MESSAGE TO GO AWAY SO I CAN TURN MY CAR OFF.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED MY ACADIA IN MAY OF 2018, IT STARTED DISPLAYING A SHIFT TO PARK WARNING WHEN I WOULD PUT THE CAR IN PARK. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY. WELL ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. ONLY THIS TIME IT'S WORSE. IT TAKES SEVERAL TRIES AND TRICKS TO GET THE CAR TO RECOGNIZE IT'S IN PARK AND ALLOW ME TO SHUT THE CAR OFF - WHEN THE WARNING POPS UP IT WON'T ALLOW THE CAR TO POWER OFF SO ALL THE ELECTRONICS STAY ON. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME BECAUSE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 79,000 MILES AND THEY HAD ALREADY REPLACED THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY ONCE THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS REPAIR EVEN THOUGH IT'S A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES.

POWER TRAIN
WIFE WAS DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON US287 BETWEEN VERNON, TX AND WICHITA FALLS, TX IN A 75MPH SPEED ZONE. VEHICLE ABRUPTLY AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON SLOWED AS IF THE BRAKES HAD BEEN APPLIED WITH SUFFICIENT FORCE TO CAUSE HER TO BEND FORWARD AT THE WAIST. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE VEHICLE SPEED BECAME ERRATIC AND SHE SLOWED TO 25 WHILE MOVING ONTO THE SHOULDER. COULD EASILY HAVE CAUSED A FATAL ACCIDENT HAD TRAFFIC NOT BEEN UNUSUALLY LIGHT. I AM ENCLOSING GM SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED IN JULY OF 2020 (I FOUND IT POSTED ON THE NHTSA WEB SITE) REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION USED IN THIS CAR. A SAFETY RECALL SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY ISSUED .GM NHTSA SHOULD HAVE REQUIRED GM TO NOTIFY BUYERS OF THIS CONDITION PRIOR TO PURCHASE WHEN THE INHERENT POTENTIAL DEFECT FIRST BECAME APPARENT. WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW IN QUESTION ON 2 FEB 21 AND IT HAD BEEN DRIVEN JUST 4,063 MILES AT TIME OF INCIDENT.

DURING TAKEOFF WITH MODERATE ACCELERATION AROUND 1500-2000 RPM THERE IS AN EXHAUST DRONING/BUZZING SOUND FORWARD OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AREA. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO DEALER TWICE, THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE EXHAUST SYSTEM, BUT AFTER 6 MONTHS THE SAME SOUND RETURNED. THE SECOND TIME THEY TRIED TO LOOSEN AND RETIGHTEN THE EXHAUST BUT THE SOUND RETURNED IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARD. THE DRONING SOUND IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR AFTER EXHAUST IS WARMED UP.
