EXTERIOR LIGHTING
KNOWN ISSUE WITH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ON GMC ACADIA, BUT WE WERE NOT NOTIFIED. ASSEMBLY CAN CAUSE MELTING OF HOUSING AND HAS DONE SO TO OUR LEFT HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. IF HEADLIGHT WERE TO BURNOUT, WE'D HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY (WE WERE QUOTED $1700 TO DO SO). WE CANNOT FINANCIALLY AFFORD TO DO THIS AND ARE CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE OR MELTING OF OTHER PARTS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE REPLACED A SENSOR IN MY REAR BUMPER TWICE NOW. THE SECOND TIME GMC ALSO HAD TO INSTALL A NEW "WATERPROOF HARNESS" TO KEEP WATER FROM SATURATING THE SENSOR. THE SENSOR IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE BLIND-SPOT MONITOR SYSTEM. WHEN THE SENSORS BECOME SATURATED, THE SYSTEM NO LONGER WORKS. AFTER HABITUALLY RELYING ON THIS SYSTEM, IT BECOMES A DANGER WHEN YOU DO NOT REALIZE THAT IT IS NOT WORKING WHEN CHANGING LANES OR MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. THE ORIGINAL HARNESS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED IN ALL VEHICLES USING IT.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH ALMOST 1/2 A TANK OF GAS, AND I LOST POWER SUDDENLY, AND HAD NO CONTROL OVER MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING AND EVERYTHING QUIT. BECAUSE I AM FAIRLY STRONG, I WAS ACTUALLY ABLE TO TURN OFF THE ROAD INTO A SAFE PLACE, AND NOT BE STRANDED ON A VERY BUSY TWO LANE ROAD. AFTER HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO PAUL'S AUTOMOTIVE GARAGE, I WAS ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF GAS.

ENGINE
I'M FILING A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY MODEL YEAR 2010 GMC ACADIA. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AT 96,000. THE CODE IS P0008. THIS CODE POINTS TO THE TIMING CHAIN. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH GMC ACADIA'S AND IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT CAUSED GMC TO EXTEND THEIR POWERTRAIN WARRANTY ON 2009 MODEL ACADIA'S TO 120,000 MILE OR 10 YEARS. GMC IS NOT OFFERING TO EXTEND MY WARRANTY TO 120,000 MILES OR 10 YEARS EVEN THOUGH I'M EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT CAUSED THEM TO EXTEND 2009 MODEL CARS. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN OCT 2009.

POWER TRAIN
ON 2017 ACADIA WITH IT'S 6TXX TRANSMISSION, THE SHIFTS FROM 2-3 FEEL WEIRD (ESPECIALLY) WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS. YOU GET A FEELING AS IF TRANNY TAKES MORE THAN USUAL TIME TO ENGAGE INTO 3RD GEAR, WHEN ALREADY DISENGAGED FROM 2ND GEAR. THIS IS SIMILAR TO WHAT FEELING ONE MIGHT GET IF YOU MOVED FROM 2ND - NEUTRAL - 3RD GEAR. I STARTED EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE FROM APPROX. 5K MILES. THIS WOULD BE RISKY WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO MERGE INTO A YIELD OR CHANGE LANES AND THIS SHIFT OCCURS, YOU MOMENTARILY FEEL LOSS OF CONTROL. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND YOU WILL SEE FOLKS ALREADY COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ON FORUMS. *TR
