ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IT APPEARS THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO THE CAR RADIO HAS SHORTED OUT. IT EFFECTS THE SOUND TO THE BLINKER AS WELL AS TO THE RADIO. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IT MAY HAVE OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. IS THIS COVERED UNDER ANY KIND OF RECALL. I HAVE HEARD THAT THE WHOLE DASH COULD BE EFFECTED AND MY CAR JUST STOP RUNNING. THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I OPEN THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR AND IT MADE A LOUD NOISE WHICH SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS SHORTING OUT. THE VEHICLE RUNS BUT AM VERY LEARY ABOUT TAKING IT ON A LONG TRIP. WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR SAYS THERE IS A MONTH WAIT!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN THE CAR IS SHIFTED INTO PARK, THE DASHBOARD SHOWS A WARNING THAT THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK. IF I LEAVE THE CAR LIKE THAT, ALL THE ELECTRICAL STUFF STAYS ON. MY HUSBAND WAS AT A GAS STATION, AND PUMPING GAS IS NOT SAFE WITH THE CAR NOT SHUTTING OFF. ALSO I AM CONCERNED IF THE VEHICLE WILL BE ABLE TO ROLL. MY NIECE ALSO HAS AN ACADIA, AND 3 YOUNG SONS ALL STILL IN CAR SEATS, SO SHE HAS TO USE THE 3RD ROW SEAT, SO GETTING HER SONS OUT OF A VEHICLE IS NOT A QUICK CHORE. IF THE CAR WILL NOT SHUT OFF AND GO INTO PARK AND CAN ROLL, IT WOULD BE A DISASTER IF HER CHILDREN WERE STILL IN THE VEHICLE STILL STRAPPED INTO THEIR SEATS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY ACADIA HAS SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING MULTIPLE TIMES. TODAY, I WAS IN A PARKING LOT PICKING UP A PRESCRIPTION. THE CAR WAS IDLING WHILE I WAS WAITING IN THE PICK-UP LANE AND THEN SHUT OFF. THE DASH REMAINED ON AND GAVE THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS: TRACTION CONTROL OFF, ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SERVICE STABILITRACK. I TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE ONLY TO HAVE THE CAR SHUTTER VIOLENTLY WHILE IDLING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AGAIN AND THEN RESTARTED FOR A SECOND TIME. THIS TIME IT RESTARTED AS NORMAL AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DEALER 4 TIMES SINCE OCTOBER AS IT HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A TURN. THE DEALER SAYS THERE ARE NO CODES IN THE DIAGNOSTICS AND CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM. I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE CAR. I SAW A RECALL FROM 2014 ABOUT AN ELECTRICAL SHORT BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS ALREADY FIXED ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT USED. I ALSO DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS EVEN RELATED TO THAT RECALL.

SHIFT TO PARK MESSAGE COMES UP RANDOMLY, WHEN PARKING VEHICLE. HAD ELECTRICAL HARNESS REPLACED IN 2019 FOR THIS PROBLEM, THEN HARDLY DROVE IN 2020. NOW THE DEALERSHIP SAID I NEED TO REPLACE THE SHIFT CONTROL ASSEMBLY AT A COST BETWEEN $300-$400. THEY INDICATED THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY IS EXPIRED, AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY.

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..

SERVICE BRAKES
THIS OCCURRED WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE IN THE AFTERNOON ON MARCH 12, 2021 AT APPROXIMATELY 2:30PM.... UPON DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE CAR LURCHED CRASHING INTO A LIGHT POLE. FORTUNATELY THE LIGHT POLE PREVENTED ME FROM HITTING ANOTHER CAR IN THE PARKING LOT. MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED SLAMMING INTO MY CHEST AND I MANAGED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO MY GMC ACADIA AND AAA AND MY INSURANCE WERE CALLED AND THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION SHOP AS INSTRUCTED BY MY INSURANCE. I AM PRESENTLY AWAITING CALLS FROM MY INSURANCE AND THE ADJUSTER. THIS IS SATURDAY AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE MANNER THAT THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AND I'M STILL HAVING CHEST PAINS WHERE THE AIRBAG HIT ME.

AIR BAGS, POWER TRAIN
THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THIS CAR HAS BEEN GOING OFF AND ON SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED IN OCTOBER 2017. EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS THERE WAS ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NEVER DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THEY INITIALLY CLAIMED THE SENSORS WERE UNPLUGGED AS A RESULT OF MOVING THE SEAT BACK AND FORTH. NOW THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, THEY WANT TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY SENSOR. ADDITIONALLY, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT TO PARK ISSUE IS OCCURRING. THIS IS WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO PARK, HOWEVER, AN ERROR INDICATOR DISPLAYS SAYING THE CAR NEEDS TO BE SHIFTED TO PARK TO TURN OFF, EVEN THOUGH IT IS IN PARK. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE MANIFOLD 2 YEARS AGO AND NOW THE PROBLEM IS RESURFACING.

SHIFT TO PARK ISSUE - WHEN SHIFTING INTO PARK AND SUBSEQUENTLY TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WILL SHOW A NOTIFICATION ON THE DASH SAYING 'SHIFT INTO PARK' AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE SHIFTER IND THE PARK POSITION, WILL NOT TURN OFF AND WILL ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO ROLL FREELY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MULTIPLE REASONS. FIRST, THE VEHICLE WHILE IN THE PARK POSITION CAN ROLL FREELY. SECOND, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OFF AND ENGINE WILL CONTINUE TO RUN, THEREBY RENDERING THE VEHICLE UNABLE TO SHUT DOWN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
THE SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM HAS APPEARED IN THE DIC DUE TO WATER INTRUSION IN THE SENSORS. THEY WERE ORIGINALLY REPLACED PER THE TSB16-NA-178 IN APRIL OF 2019. THE ISSUE HAS SINCE RE-OCCURRED 2/18/21 WHILE DRIVING, WHICH JEOPARDIZES MY SAFETY. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS MAY LEAD TO ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ENTER LIMP MODE.
