UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THERE HAS BEEN A COUPLE OF INSTANCES WHERE THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF ONCE WHEN TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE, AND ONCE WHILE SITTING AT A ROUNDABOUT AND THEN I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. IT SEEMS TO WORK FOR A WHILE AFTER THAT, BUT IT IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING FOR A CAR THAT IS NOT THAT OLD AND I JUST GOT IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I'VE HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE RADIO. EVERY SINGLE TIME IT RAINS THE SPEAKERS GO OUT. NOTICED THERE WAS WATER IN THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS ON ALL THE DOORS WHICH ALSO AFFECTED MY WINDOWS FROM GOING UP AND DOWN. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE TRANSMISSION IS SHOT NOW. WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE, STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, AND WHEN IT TURNED GREEN, I HIT THE GAS. MY CAR DIDN'T GO. I KEPT MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF PRESSURE AND IT STARTED TO GO, BUT AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT JUST KICKED REAL HARD INTO FIRST GEAR. FELT LIKE SOMEONE REAR ENDED ME. EVERY TIME I STOPPED IT KEPT DOING IT. TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND APPARENTLY I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND TIMING CHAIN. THE CAR IS ONLY 10 YEARS OLD AND I BOUGHT THE CAR 5 YEARS AGO FROM GUNN HONDA. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR!

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2018 GMC ACADIA VIN [XXX] MY CAR HAS 41,000 MILES. WHEN I PARK AND TRY TO SHUT MY CAR OFF A MESSAGE POPS UP THAT SAYS "SHIFT TO PARK". IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO SHUT MY CAR OFF BECAUSE IT DOES NOT IDENTIFY THAT IT IS IN FACT IN PARK. TODAY IT TOOK ME 15 MINUTES OF TURNING MY CAR OFF AND ON AND SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF PARK TO GET IT OFF. TWO DAYS AGO MY CAR STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2017 ACADIA. WHEN THE CAR IS SHIFTED INTO PARK, THE DASHBOARD SHOWS A WARNING THAT THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK! IT SAYS I CAN'T TURN OFF THE CAR UNTIL THE CAR IS IN PARK, EVEN THOUGH IT'S IN PARK. AFTER SPEAKING TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT MY DEALERSHIP, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND THEY BOUGHT IN EXTRA PARTS TO REPAIR THE CARS THAT COME IN. THIS FIRST HAPPENED 6 MONTHS AGO BUT ONLY OCCURED ONE TIME, NOW IT IS CONSISTANT AND I AM ONLY 700 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY SO I AM STUCK PAYING FOR IT OUT OF POCKET. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM.

AIR BAGS
THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF 2014 ACADIA OWNERS HAVING A SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COME ON AND WONT GO OFF. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR ALL ACADIA'S OF 2013 AND EARLIER THAT HAD A RECALL TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE. 2014 NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND POSSIBLE DEATH UPON IMPACT ISSUE IF AIRBAG DOESNT GO OFF DUE TO GMC'S NEGLIGENCE IN DEALING WITH THE SAME ISSUE PREVIOUS MODELS HAD. GMC COULD FACE LAWSUITS IF SOMEONE IS KILLED DUE TO THIS ISSUE ON THIS YEAR ACADIA. ITS APPROX $500 TO FIX AND IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM ACROSS MANY OWNED ACADIAS. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR HAD THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THIS NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH IMMEDIATELY.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO. ON 8-15-19, I ACTIVATED THE ON STAR AND WAS TOLD ABOUT A RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG AND THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER. I CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL HAD BEEN CLOSED. CAN THEY ACTUALLY REFUSE TO "FIX" THIS?

STEERING
POWER STEERING REVERTS TO MANUAL. THIS OCCURS GENERALLY AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN TURNING IN ANY DIRECTION. THIS COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE PROBLEM FEELS LIKE THE STEERING IS LOCKED. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY WE WILL NOT WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE GETS KILLED BEFORE GMC ISSUES A RECALL.

THE CAR WILL NOT RECOGNIZES IT IS IN PARK AND WILL NOT LET YOU SHUT IT OFF SOMETIMES. EVEN WORSE IT LETS YOU SHUT IT OFF BUT ISN'T ACTUALLY AL THE WAY OFF. SO THE BATTERY DIES. GM DEALER PUT NEW SHIFTER IN AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THEN THEY PUT A BOTHER NEW SENSOR IN AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN.
