ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY ACADIA HAS SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING MULTIPLE TIMES. TODAY, I WAS IN A PARKING LOT PICKING UP A PRESCRIPTION. THE CAR WAS IDLING WHILE I WAS WAITING IN THE PICK-UP LANE AND THEN SHUT OFF. THE DASH REMAINED ON AND GAVE THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS: TRACTION CONTROL OFF, ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SERVICE STABILITRACK. I TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE ONLY TO HAVE THE CAR SHUTTER VIOLENTLY WHILE IDLING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AGAIN AND THEN RESTARTED FOR A SECOND TIME. THIS TIME IT RESTARTED AS NORMAL AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DEALER 4 TIMES SINCE OCTOBER AS IT HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A TURN. THE DEALER SAYS THERE ARE NO CODES IN THE DIAGNOSTICS AND CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM. I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE CAR. I SAW A RECALL FROM 2014 ABOUT AN ELECTRICAL SHORT BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS ALREADY FIXED ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT USED. I ALSO DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS EVEN RELATED TO THAT RECALL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. ALL ELECTRICAL WENT OUT. DOORS ALL LOCKED WHILE INSIDE, KEY STUCK IN IGNITION. STARTED WITH SIDE DETECTION WARNING AND WITHIN A FEW DAYS CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING! HUGE SAFETY ISSUE! WILL NOT RESTART AND STILL CAN'T GET KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED BUT NO POWER. COMPLETELY DEAD. THERE IS A KNOWN RECALL ON 2014 GMC ACADIAS FOR ELECTRONIC MODULE FAILURE BUT NOT OUR SPECIFIC VEHICLE THOUGH THIS SEEMS TO BE THE EXACT CAUSE OF OUR PROBLEMS. GMC SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP?!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR BEGAN SHUTTERING AND THE WARNING SYSTEM WENT OFF STATING THE TRACTION CONTROL HAD GONE OFF. THEN IT SAID ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SERVICE ENGINE, AND SERVICE TRACTION. THE CAR BEGAN SHAKING AND IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. UPON RESTARTING THE CAR I RECEIVED A MESSAGE THAT SAID TRACTION CONTROL ON. BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO WHICH THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. AFTER DOING A GOOGLE SEARCH TODAY, I FOUND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN GMC ACADIA AND I AM SHOCKED THAT IT HASN'T BE REPORTED/RECALLED. IN RETROSPECT, I HAVE NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES WHEN I ACCELERATE, THE CAR WILL FAIL TO SHIFT GEARS IN A TIMELY MANNER AND JERK FORWARD WHEN IT FINALLY DOES SO. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH ALL THREE OF MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPEND!

AIR BAGS
SERVICE AIRBAG NOTIFICATION REMAINS ON DUE TO UNREPAIRED SENSOR. I PAID THE DEALER ONCE TO MAKE THE REPAIR AND THE SERVICE NOTIFICATION CAME BACK ON A YEAR LATER, BUT THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR THE REPAIR AGAIN. I HAVE NOT BEEN IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT SO I'M NOT SURE IF THE AIRBAGS WILL WORK. HOWEVER, THIS HAS BEEN A CONCERN. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER AND THIS PROBLEM BEGAN WITHIN A FEW YEARS. HOWEVER, THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME WITHOUT CHARGING ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS.

2014 GMC ACADIA WENT ABRUPTLY INTO WHAT THEY CALL LIMP MODE. THE ENGINE LOST POWER, WITH A MASSIVE SHUTTER THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE, NUMEROUS WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH, SAYING REDUCED POWER, LOW VOLTAGE, TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITY CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAVE DONE SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AND SEEMS TO BE A BIG ISSUE FOR THE ACADIA! A RECALL TO GENERAL MOTORS IS IN ORDER SO ALL THESE SAFETY ISSUES GET ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THERE ARE STORIES THAT THE DEALERS HAVE FIXED THEM BUT A WEEK OR TWO LATER THE ISSUES RETURNED. PLEASE HELP US

WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A GMC DEALERSHIP AND THEY CANNOT HELP US. THEY REPAIRED SEVERAL RANDOM PARTS. MINE FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE CAR SEEMS TO STALL IN BETWEEN GEARS. RANDOMLY DRIVING SOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR WILL STALL AND THEN CATCH. SOMETIMES IT IS TERRIFYING. AND NOW WE ARE EXPERIENCING HOT AIR FLOW IN THE CABIN AND THE BACK AIR WON'T STAY ON CONSISTENTLY. IT SHUTS OFF AND THEN ON. IT'S INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING.

AIR BAGS
"SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND STAYING ON. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WE PURCHASED FROM AND THEY TOLD US THE PROBLEM WAS UNDER THE SEAT AND HE RECONNECTED THE WIRES AND TOLD US IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE IT. IT HAPPENED OVER AND OVER. IF YOU MOVE THE SEAT, IT WOULD TURN ON OR OFF. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT REPLACED BUT INSTEAD THEY TOLD US THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM THAT IT WAS IN THE DOOR. WE PAID THE $450.00 AND 7 DAYS LATER THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" CAME ON AGAIN. WE ARE TAKING IT BACK TOMORROW. THIS ISSUE, TO ME, IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS, AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT WORK BECAUSE OF THIS NOT BEING FIXED CORRECTLY.... COULD CAUSE A DEATH. THIS BEGAN IN LATE 2019. IT COMES ON AT START UP, OR WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT COMES ON ANYTIME AND HAS STAYED ON AND UNABLE TO CLEAR IT UNTIL WE FIGURED OUT TO MOVE SEAT AND IT TURNS ITSELF OFF, SOMETIMES.
