POWER TRAIN
WHEN I PUT THE IN PARK, IT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THE VEHICLE IS ALREADY ENGAGED. THE CONSOLE DISPLAYS TELLS ME TO PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND BEEPS. I HAVE TO KEEP MOVING THE GEAR SHIFT FROM REVERSE TO NEUTRAL TO PARK SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT RECOGNIZES THE VEHICLE IN ENGAGED IN PARK. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ABOUT 8 MONTHS OR SO. I HAVE MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TELL ME THEIR ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY PROBLEM, NOT EVEN RECOGNIZING MY PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
THE PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT WARNING CHIMED TO INDICATE A PASSENGER WAS NOT WEARING A SEATBELT AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ON/OFF LIGHT TOGGLED BACK AND FORTH WHEN NO PASSENGER WAS IN THE CAR IN THE SEAT. THIS RESOLVED SPONTANEOUSLY BY THE NEXT DAY, NOW THE SERVICE AIRBAG SOON NOTICE AND WARNING LIGHT IS LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT THAT WOULD CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY OR ACTIVATE. I SEE THAT A PREVIOUS RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED IN 2014 FOR THE 2009-2013 MODELS OF GMC ACADIA, BUT MY SPECIFIC ACADIA IS A 2014 MODEL. THERE ARE NO ACTIVE RECALLS LISTED FOR MY VEHICLE, HOWEVER AN AIRBAG MALFUNCTION IS A SERIOUS CONCERN FOR GMC ACADIA OWNERS. THIS ISSUE JUST STARTED AND I HAVE NOT VISITED A DEALER YET.

ENGINE
2008 GMC ACADIA WITH 140,000 MILES RAN FINE ON SATURDAY 11/24/18. NO NOISE, NO ISSUES, NO WARNING LIGHTS. MONDAY 11/26/18, ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER, BUT NOT CRANK. AGAIN, NO NOISE, ETC. HAD TOWED TO A LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP THAT HAS COMPLETED ALL WORK AND MAINTENANCE ON CAR. RESULTS=? BROKEN TIMING CHAIN. ???? THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2007 AND 2009 GMC ACADIA'S. IF THERE WAS ASSISTANCE WITH 2007 AND 2009, HOW COULD THEY NOT HAVE SCA/RECALL FOR 2008. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED IN 2007 OR THEY WOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO INCLUDE 2009. GMC NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE. WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ENGINE ISSUES WITH THIS 2008 GMC ACADIA. PLEASE ADVISE

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON NOVEMBER 8TH, 2018 TOOK VEHICLE INTO CAPPELLINO GMC BUICK, FOR OIL CHANGE, TIRE ROTATION AND INSPECTION EVEN THO INSPECTION WAS NOT DUE UNTIL DECEMBER..WAS TOLD TIRES ON THESE VEHICLES WERE WARING UNUSUALLY FAST..NOTICES WERE POSTED ALL OVER THE DEALERS FACILITY, TOLD WE COULD BUY NEW ONES FOR SLIGHTLY LESS THAN NEW PRICE BECAUSE THEY WERE PRO RATED..THIS 2017 ACADIA WAS LEASED NEW, LESS THAN ONE YEAR AGO..WE BELIEVE WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR FAULTY PRODUCT..AT THAT POINT CALLED DEALER WE HAD PURCHASED FROM AND QUESTIONED WHAT WAS GOING ON..WE WERE TOLD "IF IT PASSED INSPECTION, TIRES SHOULD BE GOOD FOR ANOTHER YEAR." ON 11/25/18, WHILE PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY, THE LEFT REAR DRIVERS SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT AND WAS FLAT WITHIN A FEW SECONDS.. WE THEN CALLED DEALER BACK AGAIN AND WAS TOLD TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE THEN BRING IN ASAP TP DEALER TO GET NEW TIRES. THESE TIRES ARE NOT SAFE. ON 11/27/18 WENT INTO DEALER WITH SPARE THAT WE WERE TOLD NOT TO GO OVER 40 MILES ON. THEY SAID THEY WOULD SPLIT PRICE OF 4 NEW TIRES..WE SAID OK. THEY THEN TRIED TO PUT 4 NEW FAULTY TIRES ON VEHICLE. WE REFUSED TO PURCHASE MORE OF THE BAD TIRES THEY THEN GAVE US THE OPTION OF BUYING A DIFFERENT TIRE THAT HAD TO BE ORDERED AND SENT US OFF WITH THE SPARE STILL ON CAR.. WE WERE TOLD IT WILL TAKE AT LEAST 3 TO 5 DAYS TO GET THE OTHER TIRES..WE HAVE USED 20 OF THE MILES JUST GETTING BACK AND FORTH FROM DEALER. WE DO NOT FEEL WE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT ON LEASED VEHICLE. THESE TIRES ARE NOT SAFE..THERE ARE CHILDREN IN THIS CAR ON A DAILY BASIS. THIS WEEKEND WE WERE TO BE AT A HOCKEY TOURN. FOR ONE OF THE CHILDREN, ROOMS HAVE BEEN BOOKED AND HE IS THE TEAMS' GOALIE. WE HAVE NO WAY TO GET THERE NOW. WE WERE NOT OFFERED A LOANER OR ANY KIND OF HELP. HAD THIS HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY OF ANY KIND THERE IS NO TELLING WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED. WE HOPE YOU WILL CHECK INTO THIS ASAP

SEATS
IN A REAR END COLLISION'ANOTHER CAR HITTING US, WE WERE JUST BEGINNING TO MOVE WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, HE WAS COMING BEHIND US AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED'THE PASSENGER SEAT CAME FORWARD ALMOST THROWING ME INTO THE DASH, THEN FLEW BACKWARDS, COLLAPSING INTO THE SEAT BEHIND IT. I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS BEING A PROBLEM UNTIL I SAW IT ON TV ABOUT CHILD SAFETY IN THE REAR SEAT. IF ANYONE HAD BEEN IN THE SEAT BEHIND ME THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. SURPRISINGLY, I WAS NOT INJURED. THE CAR WAS TOTALED BECAUSE THE REAR WAS SO DAMAGED IT COULD NOT BE STRAIGHTENED.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AT JUST UNDER 1 YEAR OLD THE RACK AND PINNON WENT OUT. REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THEN AT JUST OVER 3 YEARS OLD IT WENT OUT AGAIN ON TOP OF THAT FOR THE LAST 9-12 MONTHS THE ENGINE WILL REV UP AND ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN AFTER IT WILL CHUG FOR A BIT THEN THE SENSOR STABILITRAK WARNING COMES ON THEN IT WILL SAY TRACTION CONTROL OFF THEN IT WILL SAY ITS BACK ON. I HAVE ALSO HAD IT WHERE IT WILL LOOSES ENGINE POWER AND YOU CAN BARELY GET IT TO GO WHEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. IT'S DONE THIS SERIES OF EVENTS ABOUT 10 TIMES. IT HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING, WHEN IN PARK, AND WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. NO RHYME OR REASON TO IT. BUT IT IS PRETTY UNSAFE WHEN A VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN DRIVING ANYWHERE! NOT TO MENTION THAT A RACK AND PINNON SHOULD NOT GO OUT 2XS IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS LET ALONE ON A VEHICLE THAT COST 45,000+ THAT WAS PURCHASED TO ORDER BRAND NEW! THESE KIND OF COSTLY REPAIRS MIGHT I MENTION AREN'T COVERED UNDER THEIR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, THOUGH RACK AND PINNON IS PART OF THE STEERING COMPONENT. ALSO THIS SUMMER AT LESS THAN 4 YEARS OLD THE AC QUIT WORKING SO I WENT IN 90 DEGREE TEMPS WITH A BABY AND NO AC UNTIL WE HAD A CHANCE TO RECHARGE IT WITH REFRIGERANT.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), WHEELS
AS I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, I PRESSED ON MY BREAKS AND HEARD A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE. MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE MUCH, I PUSHED ON THE BRAKES AND THEN THE GAS AND STARTED TO MOVE. AS I WAS DRIVING I FELT THE CAR PULLING. I NOTICED THE ABS TRACTION CONTROL OFF, ALL WHEEL DRIVE OFF, AND STABILITRACK LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. I CALLED THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER. NOW JUST WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I STARTED NOTICEING WHEN I OPEN MY GLOVE BOX OR HAD SOMEONE SEATING IN THE PASSAGER SEAT MY AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD TURN ON WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. THE LIGHT WOULD TURN ON AND BEEP STATING SERVICE AIR BAG. THE LIGHT WOULD SOMETIMES STAY ON OR TURN OFF. ONCE I TOOK MY ACADIA TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY RAN A BUNCH OF TEST. AT FIRST THEY COULDN'T DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THEY DETERMINE IT WAS THE AIRBAG AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE BACK SEAT FASTENER ON THE MIDDLE SEAT FAILED TO LOCK THE BUCKLE IN PLACE. HAD TO REPLACE THIS.
