The driver's air bag inflator may explode during deployment, due to a manufacturing defect. Recall consequence An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants, resulting in serious injury or death. Recall action. Dealers will replace the driver's air bag module, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed June 26, 2023. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N232404980. I have called and spoke with GMC in Gurnee Illinois and was told "there is no remedy for this recall". I will be driving upwards of 11 hours and feel it is unsafe and unreasonable for them to not change something that could be potentially deadly.

ENGINE
The engine light came on. Had a mobile mechanic look at it, he ran a diagnostics, it showed a P0017 code. He advised to get another opinion on how to repair, as he said it may need a new engine. Took it to a local repair shop, was told the same thing. The Acadia runs fine, and only has 116K miles. The problem is that it will not pass the required emission test for annual registration and tag. The cost of a new engine was estimated at about $10K, which is more than the Acadia is worth. Was told that these vehicles have had a history of this same issue.

I received a recall for my vehicle months ago due to an airbag issue. The recall states there may be metal fragments in my airbag. This makes the car unsafe to drive. GMC still has no estimated time frame for when the parts will be available. I can’t afford to go out and buy another car while this one just sits. I don’t know how I’m getting my child to and from school starting the day after tomorrow. GMC will not offer a courtesy car and will not buy back the vehicle. This is unacceptable that they just expect me to drive this vehicle knowing there is a chance the safety equipment could kill the occupants of the vehicle.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Shift to part to turn off vehicle but vehicle does not recognize shift to park and repeatedly requires turning the car back on to try to maneuver gear shift until it finally recognizes it is in park and can be turned off. I have had to restart my care 10-20 times before it finally recognizes it is in park and will turn off and unlock the doors. This is a repeated issue that has been going on for at least 6 months but happened again today requiring 17 restarts.

Vehicle does not recognize that it's in park. Once parked a warning comes on telling you to shift to park. The vehicle does not completely shut off because it does not believe that it is in park.

I received a letter 2 months for a fix for airbag recall; however, there still isn’t a fix. GMC is refusing to do anything and they insist that it’s safe for me to continue driving my car when they know that the driver side airbag is unsafe. They said it will get fixed whenever they get the parts and just continue driving it until then.
