ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE STABILITRAK TURNED ITSELF OFF AND A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SAYING IT WAS OFF AND TO SERVICE IT. I TRIED TO PUSH THE BUTTON AND IT DID NOTHING AND THEN IT CLEARED ITSELF AND TURNED BACK ON WITHOUT ANY PROMPT AND WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES AND THE WHOLE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR SHAKES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I'VE HAD MY GMC ACADIA FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS NOW. I INITIALLY (WITHIN 30 DAYS OF PURCHASE) HAD ISSUES WITH THE WINDOW MOTOR BECAUSE MY WINDOWS WEREN'T GOING UP WHEN PRESSING THE BUTTONS ON EITHER SIDE UP FRONT. CARMAX FIXED THE ISSUE. WELL, I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM TODAY EXCEPT THE PASSENGER SIDE BUTTON WORKS OCCASIONALLY TO ROLL UP THE FRONT WINDOW. THE DRIVER SIDE BUTTON WORKS FINE FOR THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND BOTH OF THE REAR WINDOWS. IT DOESN'T WORK TO ROLL UP THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER MY VEHICLE IS PARKED OR IN MOTION.

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
BOUGHT FIRESTONE ALL SEASON TIRES DOT V60M AL1 . TIRES WORN DOWN VERY VERY QUICKLY ALL THE WAY ACROSS IN LESS THAN 5K MILES. VEHICLE ALIGNMENT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN DONE A FEW MONTHS PRIOR. DEALER TRIED TO CLAIM IT WAS ALIGNMENT , ALIGNMENT SHOP SAID IT WAS A TIRE ISSUE. I BELIEVE THE TIRES RUBBER HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPOUND FORMULA. FIRESTONE REFUSES TO COVER THE TIRES. SAID THAT EXTREMELY FAST TREADWEAR ISN'T COVERED. IMAGINE THAT! PAID $657.00 FOR A SET OF TIRES THAT WITHIN 5 MONTHS NEED REPLACING . HAD MY WIFE GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT AND BEEN INJURED OR KILLED. I WOULD OF MADE ANOTHER EXAMPLE OUT OF FIRESTONE LIKE WHAT WAS DONE IN THE 90S WHEN FORD EXPLORERS WERE TURNING INTO CRASH DERBY CARS DUE TO DEFECTIVE TIRES MADE BY THIS COMPANY FOR ODDLY A COMPARITIVELY SIZED VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS CAR HAS LEAKED SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM MULTIPLE TIMES. THE LAST TIME THEY LOOKED AT IT THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A LEAK BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND WHERE IT WAS. MY AMP HAS SHORTED OUT DUE TO ALL THE WATER AND I CAN IMAGINE WHAT'S NEXT. I AM SO SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE OF WHAT COULD GO OUT NEXT. I WISH GMC WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT ALL OF OUR ISSUES WITH THE SAME WATER LEAK! I AM GETTING PRETTY TIRED OF GETTING RAINED ON INSIDE MY CAR.

MY LIFT GATE DOOR FELL AND HIT ME IN THE HEAD OUT OF NO WHERE AND MY CAR IS NOT ON THE LIST FOR THE RECALL FOR THAT EXACT PROBLEM. MY AIRBAG INDICATOR GOES OFF ALL THE TIME EVEN IF NO ONE IS IN THE FRONT SEAT. MY SPEEDOMETER BARELY WORKS, IT GOES COMPLETELY AROUND AND I CAN'T GET IT TO RESET. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP JUST TO BE TOLD IT'S A SENSOR THAT CAUSES IT ALONG WITH THE SLOW CRANKING BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHICH ONE IT WAS BECAUSE MY CAR HAS 4.
