ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM ACTIVATED EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. ALSO, "SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM" ILLUMINATED ON THE MESSAGE CENTER. IN ADDITION, THE TURN SIGNALS DID NOT OPERATE INTERNALLY, ONLY EXTERNALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BEARDMORE CHEVROLET (418 FORT CROOK RD. N, BELLEVUE, NE 68005) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A HARNESS THAT FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE TO QUALIFY FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY UNDER BULLETIN NUMBER: 16-NA-178 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SERVICE AIR BAG SOON LIGHT IS ON AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 74,000 MILES AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR EARLIER MODEL YEAR ACADIAS UP TO 2013 AND IT IS WIDELY REPORTED THAT THE 2014S HAVE THE SAME ISSUE; THAT THE CONNECTOR HAS TO BE RESOLDERED FOR THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE TO GMC AND THEY ARE CHARGING APPROXIMATELY $400 TO FIX A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE. NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PAY $400 TO GET THIS FIXED BECAUSE IT IS NOT AN INCLUDED RECALL ON THE 2014S AND I DON'T WANT MY WIFE DRIVING A CAR WITHOUT AIRBAGS.

AIR BAGS
I'M GETTING SERVICE AIR BAGS ON MY 2014 GMC ACADIA. THERE WAS A RECALL ON AIRBAGS PREVIOUSLY FOR THIS VEHICLE FROM 2009-2013 BUT NOT THIS MODEL. I'VE READ ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ON THE AIRBAGS FAILING AND THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THIS CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS OR FLOOD DAMAGE. THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON WHY I SHOULD BE GETTING SERVICE AIR BAG MESSAGE

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON ONE, APPROXIMATELY 200-MILE TRIP LAST YEAR, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN OUR ACADIA COMPLETELY WENT OUT (INCLUDING ALL GUAGES, TURN SIGNALS, ETC.) THREE SEPARATE TIMES. WE WERE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE ROADWAYS, AND THE VEHICLE COULD STILL BE DRIVEN. THE SYSTEM REBOOTED EACH TIME AFTER A FEW MINUTES. ULTIMATELY, MY WIFE ENDED UP STRANDED AS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START DUE TO ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE AFTER SHE HAD PARKED IT DURING A SEPARATE TRIP. OUR GM DEALERSHIP INFORMED US THAT THE REAR OBJECT DETECTION MODULES HAD CORRODED, AND THAT "EVERYONE HAS THIS PROBLEM." THE CORROSION CAUSED A CASCADE FAILURE OR THE ENTIRE SYSTEM, WHICH IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD. GM REPLACES THESE MODULES WITH NON-CORRODING ONES NOW, AFTER WE PAID $992.52 TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. I CONTACTED AUTUMN AT GM CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND SHE SAID THAT THERE IS NOW SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT BEGAN ON 4/2/19. HOWEVER, OUR VEHICLE IS OVER THE 80,000-MILE WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM.

AIR BAGS
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN APRIL 2017, BUT A FEW MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I STARTED HAVING A LIGHT ON IN THE DASH SAYING "SERVICE AIR BAG". I'VE TRIED IGNORING IT & HOPING THAT THERE WOULD EVENTUALLY BE A RECALL BECAUSE THE VEHICLE NO LONGER HAD A WARRANTY, BUT WE ARE ABOUT TO TAKE IT IN TO GET IT SERVICED. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET I AM FINDING THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH ACADIAS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE & HAVE HAD TO TAKE THEIR VEHICLE & PAY TO GET IT SERVICED. I'VE ALSO READ WHERE THERE WERE SOME ACCIDENTS WHERE THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT MANY GMC MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE, BUT IT WAS FOR YEAR MODELS PREVIOUS TO MINE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE YEAR BEFORE MINE). I HAVE A FRIEND WHO HAS THE CHEVROLET TRAVERSE (WHICH IS THE EXACT SAME VEHICLE AS MINE, JUST WITH THE CHEVROLET NAME) & SHE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT I'M HAVING. IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? PLEASE RESEARCH THIS. IT IS NOT COINCIDENCE THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM! THIS LIGHT COMES ON AT ALL TIMES AS SOON AS YOU TURN ON THE CAR. I HAVE READ WHERE SOME HAVE HAD FAULTY WIRING UNDER THE SEAT THAT HAD TO BE RE-SOLDERED.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING, THE STABILITRAK SERVICE MESSAGE CAME ON, THEN TRACKTION CONTROL DISPLAYED. THE CAR THEN STALLED, WHILE DOING 70 ON THE FREEWAY. ALMOST GOT KILLED TRYING TO GET TO THE RIGHT LANE. HAD TO TURN OFF IGNITION (AND OPEN THE DOOR TO KILL THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT) TO RESET THE CAR TO DRIVE IT. THE CAR ALSO DOES THIS AT IDLE. IT WILL RANDOMLY MIS-SHIFT AND FEEL LIKE A CHAIN WAS HOOKED TO MY BUMPER AND BROKE OFF. SUPER SCARY, LIFE IN DANGER FOR SURE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 24 HOURS. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 5 DAYS AGO.
