Nothing has failed on the vehicle, nor are there any apparent problems. My GMC Acadia is a second vehicle for my household (not a primary vehicle). I also have it listed on Turo to make some additional income. With the recall, Turo un-listed my vehicle for safety reasons and I also had to cancel a reservation that was already made. The safety recall already identifies the airbags need to be replaced, but it also says parts are not available. The delay in getting a remedy for this recall is causing me to lose income.

Numerous occurences especially recently of shift vehicle to park when vehicle has been parked, turned off and already shifted into park position. Several occurrences where almost every time within 24 hours I use my cruise control and air conditioner at the same time my check engine light will come on as well as the stability trac indicator which then causes my air conditioner not to work and inability to start the vehicle due to having a check engine light on.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The shifter does not always engage and the car will remain in gear and can't be turned off. The safety issue is the vehicle rolls forward and backwards at times. I have hit my riding lawnmower under my carport because it continued to roll when in park. I have reported an issue in 2018 and in August 2019 a repair was performed and again in 2019 a gear shift assembly was replaced, It has been confirmed there is an issue with the shifter by a tech servicing my car when he drove it. It is at the dealer now 07-24-2023 to determine the issue and repair. Shift to park will come on inconsistently, however it will roll forward without the message.

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
When it rains the drainage holes in the sunroof of the vehicle do not drain properly. The water runs down the side of the passenger side window in the front and on the circuit/fuse box in the front. When this happens, the water effects the driving. The vehicle will get sluggish and eventually cut off when the circuit/fuse box gets wet. The vehicle had a recall in approximately 2015 and I took it to be serviced. I think the problem is reproduced. I had no warnings of this type of issue. This just happened in April 2023 when I was caught in a storm.

AIR BAGS
The PASSENGER side air bag system on my 2015 GMC Acadia is issuing a warning light as of yesterday. The current recall is for the DRIVER seat airbag which I was told by the dealership there is no fix for as this time. I am concerned that the same potential for harm or death is present if the passenger side airbag malfunctions and would like to report the condition and request that a formal recall be created. I am also requesting information regarding when a fix will be available for the current recall.

My vehicle was recalled for exploding airbag inflators but the manufacturer has no remedy. They suggested i get a loaner car as it isn’t safe to drive. I asked if they would supply a loaner car until they have a remedy and they refused stating that it would be my responsibility to pay for the loaner but again suggested my car is unsafe to drive. I cannot afford to rent a vehicle everyday for an unknown period of time while I wait for my vehicle to be fixed. Please help

LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
A warning light is coming on telling to have the side detection module serviced. Brought it to a dealer and was quoted a cost of $1274 to repair. It is a complicated repair and if not repaired will affect other safety systems of the vehicle because all sensors are linked. I did some research and this issue is common for this make, model and year GMC Acadia. I would like some help getting assistance for payment of this issue - one that is common and represents a safety problem if not repaired. Issue is described as Side Detection Modules and Harness. If this is a common occurence and is a safety issue, a recall or other means of satisfaction should be offered by GM. Thanks, Brad Nylander 218 343-8780
