ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING, SUSPENSION
RECEIVED NOTICE FROM GM RE POWER STEERING, DO NOT TAKE TO VEHICLE FOR SERVICE UNLESS PROBLEM IS KNOWN. I TOOK VEHICLE FOR TIRE ROTATION AND MECHANIC NOTICED POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKING, CAUSED DAMAGE TO RACK, PINION, ETC. (ESTIMATE ATTACHED). CALLED GM DEALER AND GM CUST SERVICE, WILL ONLY COVER DEFECTIVE POWER STEERING PUMP NOT THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE PUMP. SINCE GM ADVISED NOT TO GET FIXED UNTIL ISSUE OCCURS (I STILL HAVE POWER STEERING, WAS NOT AWARE OF THE ISSUE UNTIL TIRES WERE ROTATED) WHY SHOULD I BE LIABLE FOR THE ADDITIONAL DAMAGE CAUSED? ALSO, THIS MORNING 12/08/15, WHILE TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL, THE CAR BUCKLED AND STABILTRAK, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH A MESSAGE "POWER REDUCED", ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE 20-25 MILES. THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED APPX. A YEAR AGO AND I FILED A COMPLAINT. THE LIGHT GOES AND OFF JUST LIKE A YEAR AGO. AFTER READING SEVERAL BULLETINS FOR THE 2008 GMC ACADIA, ALL THE ABOVE ISSUES ARE A KNOWN ISSUE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR VEHICLE DEFECTS THAT ARE COMMON IN ALL OF THE VEHICLES.

STEERING
TEMPORARY AND INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER STEERING DURING MANEUVERING AND TURNING CAUSES SAFETY AND CONTROL ISSUES. DURING THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING EVENT THE STEERING WHEEL REQUIRES A DRIVER TO APPLY MORE THAN NORMAL AMOUNTS OF TORQUE TO GET THE STEERING WHEEL TO ROTATE. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE (REQUIRES MORE THAN NORMAL AMOUNTS OF TORQUE) WHEN THE SPEED OF THE STEERING WHEEL INPUT IS INCREASED TO PERFORM SHARP TURNS OR LOW SPEED MANEUVERING. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT GM WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BASED ON REPORTS FROM CONSUMERS WHO HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM. THEY WILL FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE IF THERE A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP THAT CAN BE RECREATED IN THE GARAGE BY THEIR DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE A COMPLETE FAILURE IN THE SYSTEM IS THEN GOING TO OCCUR WHILE DRIVING ON PUBLIC ROADWAYS AND MAY RESULT IN A CRASH PRIOR TO GETTING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. THIS EVENT MAY HAPPEN 0 TO 5 TIMES A DAY/TRIP.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TRANSMISSION STARTED GETTING SLUGGISH AROUND 88, 000 MILES. VEHICLE WOULDN'T CRANK DUE TO ELECTRICAL STABILIZER, NOW MY SUNROOF IS LEAKING. DEALERSHIP IS GOING TO CHARGE ME $275 DOLLAR TO UNBLOCK THE SUNROOF DRAINS WHAT A RIP OFF WHEN THIS IS THE THREE TIME I HAVE HAD THE DRAINS CLEANED AND THE SUNROOF STILL LEAK. THIS HAS TO BE A GMC PROBLEM THAT THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE. THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL UNDER THE GMC WARRANTY SO THANK GOD I DON'T HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THAT. THE ELECTRICAL MODULES SEEM TO BE OKAY FOR NOW BUT AT ANY GIVING TIME THE VEHICLE MAY STOP WORKING. GMC SHOULD OWN UP TO THESE PROBLEMS AND LOOK OUT FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, STEERING
THE FIRST THING THAT I WANT TO SAY IS THAT SOME OF THE RECALLS ARE NOT FOR THE 2012 MODEL BUT MINE HAS HAD THE ISSUES WITH THE FUEL MODULER NOT READING CORRECTLY AS IN ONE RECALL AND ALSO THE SHIFTER CLIP CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO NOT BE IN THE CORRECT GEAR. WHAT DO I DO? ALSO THE SECOND THING IS THE A/C BROKE WITHIN THE 3RD YEAR OF HAVING IT. THE THIRD THING TO GO WRONG IS THE POWER STEERING. IT COMES AND GOES BUT AS LONG AS I PUSH ON THE GAS I HAVE POWER STEERING. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUEL MODULER BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS VEHICLE ALSO TRAVELING THE INTERSTATE TO WORK AND ALSO A VERY POPULATED SECONDARY ROAD.

AIR BAGS, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I MADE A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT FILED HERE UNDER NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10765088. THE LOCAL GARBER GMC DEALERSHIP SEALED THE SUNROOF AND CLEANED THE CLOGGED HOSES THAT DRAIN WATER FROM THE ROOF. THEY ALSO REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG FOR A TOTAL OF $600. THEY GAVE A GUARANTEE THAT THERE WOULD BE NO MORE LEAKS. ON NOVEMBER 18 THE CAR BEGAN LEAKING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AREA AND WATER POURED FROM THE ROOF ONTO THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT WHEN I MADE A FULL STOP. CURRENTLY AWAITING A RETURN CALL FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER OF GMC DEALER. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM. I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN FROM ONE COLLEGE CAMPUS LOCATION TO ANOTHER, IN OTHER WORDS MANY STOP AND GO AND SIDE STREETS AT 30 MPH OR LESS. THE CAR MADE SQUEALING NOISES AS WELL WHICH HAPPENED LAST TIME TOO (SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR).
