EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 2 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE HAD TO SEPARATE CHANGE THE HEADLIGHTS ON IT TWICE ALREADY. THERE IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT MAKES THE HEADLIGHTS GO COMPLETELY OUT OR DIM WHILE DRIVING OR IN IDLE AT TIMES.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK AND YOU TRY TO TURN IT OFF WITH THE START/STOP BUTTON AN ON DASH ERROR CODE OF "SHIFT TO PARK" APPEARS EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS CLEARLY IN PARK. YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE ON 6/4/18 AND WAS TOLD THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE HOWEVER THEIR ENGINEERS HAVE NOT FOUND A SOLUTION. THIS CURRENTLY IS FORCING ME RESTART THE ENGINE, PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE, SHIFT BACK IN DRIVE, TRY RE PARKING AND TURNING OFF AGAIN REPEATING THE PROCESS UNTIL IT EVENTUALLY TURNS OFF. I DO NOT KNOW IF MY CAR IS TRULY IN GEAR OR NOT. I'M AFRAID THAT IT MIGHT CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

ENGINE
I WENT TO A LOCAL DEALER AND COMPLAINED ABOUT A VIBRATION/RUMBLE WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENED MOSTLY AROUND 1200-1700 RPM. THE SERVICE MANAGER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. THERE WAS A MANUFACTURERS BULLETIN OUTLINING THE PROBLEM AND SUGGESTING A FUEL MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE UPGRADE. THIS WAS DONE. THE BULLETIN ALSO APPLIED TO CADILLAC XT5, WHICH IS ON A SHARED PLATFORM WITH MY 2107 GMC ACADIA DENALI AWD. THERE ARE NOW SEVERAL NEW RPM RANGES WHEN THE VIBRATION/RUMBLE OCCURS IN ADDITION TO THE OLD 1200-1700. NOT ONLY HAS THE OLD PROBLEM RE-APPEARED BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN CONDITIONS ABOUT 1500 RPM WHEN I AM STARTING OUT FROM A STOP FOR ABOUT 50 FEET WHERE THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO ALMOST STALL OUT AND THEN WITH A BIG CLANK (LIKE DOWN SHIFTING OR TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND THEN SUDDENLY ENGAGES) AND TAKES OFF. I CANNOT HELP BUT THINK THERE IS GOING TO BE A MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN OF SOMETHING DUE TO THE SUDDEN ENGAGEMENT AND CLANK OR EVEN STALLING OUT IN TRAFFIC, IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER ONCE AGAIN BUT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK YET.

STEERING
SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH POWER STEERING. APPARENTLY THE DRIVESHAFT IS BROKEN AN IT MAKES THE CAR ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. I HAVE TO USE BOTH HANDS/ARMS AND ALL OF MY STRENGTH TO TURN THE CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND GMC HAS ALREADY RECALLED MANY OF THEIR VEHICLES FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. ACADIAS NEED TO BE ADDED TO THAT LIST.

STEERING
LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST AT LOW RPM. RESULT: HARD TO TURN ON EITHER DIRECTION. WHEN PARKING, REVING UP THE ENGINE HELPS STEERING ASSIST RETURN TO "NORMAL". PROBLEM IS AT IT WORST AFTER DRIVING FOR 20 MINUTES OR MORE. NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE: I WAS COMING OF THE FREEWAY AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN (AT SLOWER SPEED) WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL "FELT LOCKED AND I NEARLY ENDED UP DRIVING OVER AN BUSY OVERPASS. IT WAS ONLY DUE TO LUCK, VERY HARD BRAKING AND HARD MANUAL STEERING THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO TURN A LITTLE AND STOP BEFORE DRIVING OVER OVERPASS. STEERING FLUID LEVEL IS NORMAL. I AM VERY CONVERNED AS SOMOENE COULD GET HURT WHEN I LOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER THE VEHICLE (NO WARNING LIGHTS AND ENGINE RUNNING AS NORMAL). I CAN'T ALLOW MY WIFE TO DRIVE THIS DEATH TRAP. DEALER RECOMMENDED NEW STERING PUMP NEW HOSES AND NEW RACK AND PINION GEAR. CAR HAS ONLY 96,000 NEVER BEEN IN ACCIDENTS. OVER $4,000 IN REPPAIRS!

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CAR ONLY HAS 52,000 MILES ON IT AND THE ABS, BRAKE AND TRACTION LIGHTS HAVE REPEATEDLY COME ON. THE ISSUES HAS CAUSED THE LOST OF CRUISE CONTROL AND HIGH RISE OF MY ABS SYSTEM NOT WORKING DUE TO A WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FAILING. THE CAR SHOULDN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE WHEN THIS LITTLE OF MILEAGE ON IT. THE CAR STARTED THIS ALL OF SUDDEN AS I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT ON THE STREET AND ONCE THE CAR IS IN GEAR ON ANY STREET SURFACE. THE RISK OF LOSING MY ABS HAS CAUSED MY NOT TO WANT TO DRIVE IT. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS ISSUE. MANY HAVE REPORTED ON DIFFERENT FORUMS OF THIS ISSUE AT A LOW MILEAGE. NO CAR SHOULD HAVE THIS SENSOR ISSUE "IF THAT IS WHAT IT TRULY IS" AT THIS YEARLY OF ITS LIVE SPAN AND LOW OF MILEAGE.
