AIR BAGS
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I NOTICED BOTH OF MY DRIVING LIGHTS HAD GONE OUT AND WENT TO REPLACE. THEY ARE THE HID HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES AND THE DRIVING LIGHT SOCKETS AND BULBS MELTED TOGETHER RESULTING IN CRACKING THAT REFLECTOR/PROJECTION IN THE ASSEMBLY.MY VIN IS NOT THE "VIN SPECIFIC" INCLUDED IN THE SPECIAL RECALL 14283, BUT I HAVE THAT EXACT ISSUE.

THIS CAR HAS LEAKED SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM MULTIPLE TIMES. THE LAST TIME THEY LOOKED AT IT THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A LEAK BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND WHERE IT WAS. MY AMP HAS SHORTED OUT DUE TO ALL THE WATER AND I CAN IMAGINE WHAT'S NEXT. I AM SO SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE OF WHAT COULD GO OUT NEXT. I WISH GMC WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT ALL OF OUR ISSUES WITH THE SAME WATER LEAK! I AM GETTING PRETTY TIRED OF GETTING RAINED ON INSIDE MY CAR.

SHIFT TO PARK NOTICE. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN OFF VEHICLE AND SHIFTED INTO PARK, VEHICLE WILL GIVE A WARNING THAT VEHICLE IS NOT IN PARK. AT THIS POINT I HAVE NO IDEA IF THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK OR NOT. NOT SURE IF I AM JUST RECEIVING A FAULTY NOTICE OR IS THE VEHICLE NOT IN PARK AND COULD ROLL CAUSING INJURY! THIS IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE. GMC UNABLE TO REPAIR DUE TO NOT HAVING THE PART AVAILABLE. THIS MAY HAPPEN FOR TWO OR THREE TIMES. IT HAS HAPPENED THAT I HAVE HAD TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON UP TO SEVEN TIMES BEFORE IT REGISTERED AS IN PARK.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE FREEWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A HUGE POP THAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT WHEN I LOOKED UP MY SUN ROOF GLASS WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED FOR NO REASON. AFTER INSPECTING MY SUN ROOF I NOTICED THE GLASS SHATTERED FROM WITHIN I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT HAPPENED EXTERNALLY ON THE VEHICLE BUT DID NOT I BELIEVE THERE IS DEFECT IN THE GLASS I DON'T SEE HOW ELSE THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED. IN ADDITION THIS IS NOT THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAVE NOTICED WITH THE SUN ROOF ONE DAY IT WAS RAINING AND I NOTICED THAT WATER HAD SOME HOW SEPT IN FROM THE GLASS THIS CAUSED DAMAGE TO MY LINING IN THE VEHICLE THAT NOW SHOWS WATER DAMAGE. I DID NOT THINK NOTHING OF IT AT FIRST BUT SEEING THIS HAPPEN NOW MAKES ME BELIEVE THERE WAS IS A DEFECT IN THE SUNROOF.

WHEELS
FRONT TIRES HAVE STARTED COMING APART; SUCH AS, TEARING OR RIPPED TREAD. SIMILAR TO LOOKING LIKE THEY WERE "GOUGED" WITH SOMETHING. TIRES ARE ROTATED WITH EACH OIL CHANGE ON A REGULAR BASIS. PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW WITH 440 MILES, AND CURRENTLY HAVE 33,XXX MILES ON THESE TIRES. JUST RECENTLY NOTICED THIS ON THE 2 FRONT TIRES, SO DATE "HAPPENED" IS DATE IT WAS FIRST NOTICED. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY KIND OF ACCIDENT, OR OFF ROAD, OR DRIVEN RECKLESSLY.

WHEN PUSHING VEHICLE IGNITION BUTTON "START/STOP" TO TURN VEHICLE "OFF" IT WILL TURN THE ENGINE OFF BUT KEEP THE VEHICLE STILL "ON" USING THE BATTERY. IF I OPEN THE DOOR AND SHUT IT, THE HORN HONKS TO ALERT THAT THE VEHICLE IS STILL "ON" AND NOT COMPLETELY STOPPED. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE IGNITION BUTTON TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE VEHICLE IS OFF IS BY JERKING THE GEAR SHIFT UNTIL THE GREEN LIGHT GOES TO "OFF". IT DOES NOT DO IT EVERY TIME I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, BUT IT DOES IT ABOUT EVERY OTHER TIME. I WILL TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP VERY SOON FOR THEM TO LOOK AT THIS ALSO.

AIR BAGS
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.

WHEN CAR IS PLACED IN PARK, THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY SAYS THAT THE CAR MUST BE SHIFTED TO PARK, ALTHOUGH IT IS HAS BEEN PUT IN PARK. THE CAR MUST BE RESTARTED, AND RESHIFTED TO PARK, MULTIPLE TIMES. (AS MANY AS A DOZEN TIMES.) WHEN THE ERROR MESSAGE APPEARS THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS DO NOT SHUT DOWN. THE CAR CANNOT BE LOCKED. UNSURE WHETHER CAR IS/ IS NOT ACTUALLY IN PARK, OR WHETHER THERE IS A DANGER OF CAR ROLLING AWAY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
THIS VEHICLE BEGAN HAVING A SHAKING OR JUMPING FEELING AT 1800 RPMS AROUND 85,000 MILES. UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED AT OUTSIDE MECHANIC. CONTINUED TO GET WORSE AND BEGAN HAPPENING AT OTHER RPMS. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AFTER VEHICLE HIT 109,000 MILES AND DIAGNOSED AT TORQUE CONVERTER WHICH THEY REFUSE TO FIX BECAUSE OUTSIDE WARRANTY. PER MY REVIEW OF OTHER SITES, THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRENT AND OBVIOUS ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES AND CAN LEAVE PEOPLE STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY AS THE VEHICLE CAN LOSE POWER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SIDE VIEW INDICATOR LIGHTS ARE CONSTANTLY ON, DISRUPTED BY WATER INTRUSION INTO THE SENSORS. INITIAL RECALL STOPPED AT 80,000 MILES. THE LIGHTS CONSTANTLY BEING ON ARE A HAZARD AT NIGHT AS THERE IS INDIRECT LIGHT AFFECTING MY VISION AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ADDITIONALLY, THE MIRRORS ARE LOOKED AT DIRECTLY WHILE DRIVING AND THE FACT THAT THE INDICATOR LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO VIEW THE MIRRORS AT NIGHT. I HAVE NEARLY CAUSED >10 ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS.

WHEN TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE, A WARNING MESSAGE COMES ON SAYING "SHIFT TO PARK" EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK. THE SHIFTER READS PARK AND SO DOES THE DASH. VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO BE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF OR LOCKED WITH THIS MESSAGE APPEARING. IT REQUIRES TURNING VEHICLE ON AND OFF, MOVING SHIFTER IN AND OUT OF PARK, JIGGLING SHIFTER BUTTONS, ETC. THIS CAN TAKE ONE TRY OR MULTIPLE TRIES. I JUST HAD THIS FIXED BY THE DEALERSHIP (REPLACED SHIFT CONTROL) AND WAS DISAPPOINTED TO FIND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, AFFECTING MANY VEHICLES AND IT IS STILL THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE VEHICLE OWNER TO PAY FOR THE EXPENSE IF THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. THE SHIFTER RUNS THE POWER TRAIN! WHY IS THIS NOT UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AND WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL? NOW, IN RESEARCHING, I'M SEEING THAT MANY HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN AGAIN AFTER THE ISSUE HAS BEEN "FIXED". DEALER TECH NOTES TSB 19-NA-206 IN HIS REPORT.

ONE DAY MY CAR STARTED TELLING ME SHIFT TO PARK WHILE IT WAS IN PARK. AS THE DAY PROGRESSED IT BECAME WORSE AND WORSE. RESULTING IN THE CAR NOT SHUTTING OFF. PUTTING IT INTO GEAR AND BACK TO PARK WAS NOT HELPING. THE LAST TIME IT TOOK NEARLY 30 MINUTES BEFORE I COULD GET THE CAR TO SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY AS IT KEPT STARING SHIFT TO PARK. CAR WAS NOT MOVING HAD ONLY GONE WITHIN CITY LIMITS WITH MAX SPEEDS OF 45MPH.
