For the second time, my blind spot alert system has quit working. The first time it happened, my vehicle was slightly out of warranty and it required a replacement of a part that cost over $800. The replacement worked fine for several years but has recently stopped working again.

When I drive my vehicle on flat surfaces and even going up hill, I will get a large cluncking sound from my vehicle. It seems to happen when on a delay shift or when the vehicles weight shifts. I have brought my issue up to GMC while under warranty with no resolution. Please assist. Thanks

STEERING
Steering completely stopped, couldnt steer vehicle while I was driving on HWY with 6 High School Football players inside coming back from a scrimmage. All of Our safety was put at the utmost risk, as we were traveling at HWY speed of 65 and had to maneuver in between traffic to get the vehicle off the road without being hit by oncoming traffic at high speeds. We dodged several accidents during this incident. Let alone putting the lives of the 7 of us and several others on the road. Problem has been declared by a professional Auto Diagnostics Dealer in town, as my vehicle is at, diagnosis is failure of steering rack and pinion, which caused the replacement of powersteering pump, hoses, serpantine belt and reservoir replacement. So far.... The vehicle did not give any signs, signals, or any noises were heard to let us know that there was any failure issues regarding this dangerous incident.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
My left rear turn signal is not working. It is GM part number 13582912. I have checked with several GM dealers who have. Confirmed there are none available. Just for the sake of it, 3 dealers have it on order but have no confirmed delivery date. Some parts stores say it’s is discontinued. There are no other aftermarket parts to substitute. This is a significant safety issue the GM needs to correct.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
First problem is the trunk door. About a week ago I was getting something out of my trunk and accidently hit the button and the door started to close so i tried to get away from it and somehow my arm got caught and there is absolutly NO sensor to stop the trunk from crushing my arm. Unforunately, i did have some injury to my arm from the trunk coming down and have pictures of the brusing on my arm. A sensor to stop the trunk from closing on a body part or anything for that matter needs to be better made or put in the vehicle. I took pictures of my arm days later because i was in to much pain to take them when it happened. It was not a fun injurying. Saturday night iced it, sunday had to have it elevated because it was so swollen, didnt take the picture until Wednesday when it finally had calmed down. There is bruising and swelling still on Wednesday. this happened July 9th Second problem i recently had an issue with my wiring i guess it was. Specifically it was reduced engine power message displayed and my engine stalled out on me. I was told that this is a common problem with Buick Enclaves, Chevrolet Traverses, and GMC Acadia's which is the car i have. Being that this is a common issue wouldnt this be something that would be concerned a RECALL? i dont know how recalls so im more curious about it. my car stalled out on me in the middle of traffic on July 16th

AIR BAGS
My air bag service light is on when a passenger sits in it. Looking at others complaints this is a normal thing for GMC 2014 Acadia. I am wondering why a recall has not been done. I just bought this car 3 months ago and they are quoting me $600, stating it is not under recall list as it is not my curtain side air bag. Looking at others complaints- they have to have it repaired many times. This should be a recall!

AIR BAGS:SRS MALFUNCTION WARNING LAMP/LIGHT
Thinking it’s possibly the front passenger air bag isn’t working properly. The Air Bag light will go on and off for no apparent reason while someone is or isn’t in the seat. Makes me scared for anyone who is to sit in the front passenger seat; knowing that there’s possibly a danger issue.

Service Airbag light is on. Diagnostic code states it’s the wiring harness under the passenger seat causing an AMP draw. Mechanic told me there is a safety recall but I’m not seeing one for this issue, however I do see a lot of other complaints for this same issue. This is a safety issue and should be addressed.
