WHEN TEMPERATURES GO BELOW 20 DEGREES MY TRUNK DOOR WILL NOT OPEN ALL THE WAY WHEN I USE THE REMOTE OPENER. IT AUTOMATICALLY STARTS TO SHUT, EVEN WHEN SOMEONE IS ALREADY UNDER THE BACK TRUNK DOOR. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE THE TRUNK HAS CLOSED ON MY HUSBAND AND 9 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. I HAVE HAD TO RUN OVER AND MANUALLY PUSH THE TRUNK OPEN FOR IT TO STAY OPEN. EVEN WHEN I TRY AND PRESS THE REMOTE OPENER AGAIN IT WILL NOT OPEN FULLY. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE TRUNK IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 20 DEGREES IS MANUALLY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THE VEHICLE IS HAVING ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION, THERE IS A RECALL ON OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL IN A LARGE RANGE OF YEARS. THE RECALL IS A TRANSMISSION SOLENOID. HOWEVER BECAUSE UNDER THE VIN NUMBER IT DOES NOT SHOW THERE IS A RECALL THIS WILL NOT BE FIXED FREE BY DEALERSHIP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING.

AS I WAS MERGING ONTO A TRAFFIC CIRCLE AT ROUGHLY 25 MPH, THE FORWARD COLLISION DETECTION SYSTEM TURNED ITSELF ON WHEN THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME, CAUSING MY CAR TO STOP VERY SUDDENLY AND ALMOST CAUSING A VERY BAD ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T TURN THE SYSTEM OFF UNTIL I TURNED IT OFF THE ENTIRE VEHICLE THEN TURNED IT BACK ON, CAUSING WELL OVER 45 SECONDS TO A MINUTE OF TRAFFIC. I TURNED OFF ALL ANTI COLLISIONS SYSTEMS AND DROVE THE CAR BACK TO MY HOME IMMEDIATELY AFTER.

POWER TRAIN
I FINANCED THIS VEHICLE IN MAY 2018 THROUGH A GMC DEALERSHIP. IT IS JANUARY 2019 I STARTED GETTING ALERTS ONCE I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE MOTOR OFF. THE WARNING ALERTS STATED ON THE DASHBOARD "ACTION REQUIRED -SHIFT TO PARK-" EVEN THOUGH IT IS IS PARK. THE ALERT IS LOUD AND WILL NOT GO OFF. I HAVE TO START THE CAR AGAIN AND ADJUST THE GEAR SHIFT A FEW TIMES BY MOVING IT TO DRIVE, NEUTRAL OR REVERSE BEFORE THE VEHICLE RECOGNIZES THAT IT IS IS PARK AND THE ALERT LEAVES THE SCREEN AND THE SOUND GOES OFF. SOMETIMES IT TAKES A FEW MOMENTS OF MOVING THE GEAR SHIFT BEFORE I AM ABLE TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE. THIS IS HIGHLY INCONVENIENT ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE IN A HURRY TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE. I AM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY IMMEDIATELY ASKED ME WAS THE CAR STILL UNDER 36,000 MILES. THANKFULLY IT IS. I ENTERED MY VIN NUMBER IN THIS DATABASE AND NO RECALLS HAVE CAME UP FOR MY MODEL ODDLY. BUT FOR A DIFFERENT MODEL OF THE GMA ACADIA 2018 THERE IS 2 RECALLS. IRONICALLY, THE SAME COMPLAINT HAS BEEN REPORTED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN MAY 2015. MOST RECENTLY, BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME. FUSES WE CHECKED. PRIOR TO THE LAST HEADLIGHT CHANGE, THE LAMPS VERY VERY DIM AND AS SUCH VISIBILITY WAS POOR, SO MUCH SO THAT IT WAS A SAFETY HAZARD.

GMC HAS A SPECIAL SAFETY RECALL ON THEIR TIMING CHAINS BUT PROVIDED NO HELP WHEN DEALERSHIPS FAIL TO NOTIFY YOU BEFORE THE WARRANTY IS OUT EVEN WHEN YOU ARE COMPLAINING. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE REFUSES TO MOVE AND THE RPMS JUST GO UP. GMC TELLS YOU TO GO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT FAILED TO FIND IT TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK. PASSENGER FRONT AIR BAG TURNS ON WITH LITTLE WEIGHT TO NO WEIGH THERE! MC DANIALS IN MARION, OHIO WAS ABLE TO FIND THATBTHEY LOSE CALIBRATION AND NEED RE CALIBRATED.

AIR BAGS
THE AIR BAG SENSOR/MODULE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY WITH THE PASSENGER IN THE SEAT FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS, BUT IS NON-FUNCTIONAL NOW (DOES NOT DETECT THE PRESENCE OF AN OCCUPANT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT) RESULTING IN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG BEING DISABLED AT ALL TIMES. I HAVE GOTTEN ESTIMATES FROM 3 DIFFERENT PLACES RANGING FROM $800-$1200.00 TO CORRECT. THIS ISSUE HAS NOW MADE OUR VEHICLE COMPLETELY UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY TO DRIVE AND RIDE IN!!!!
