TAKATA RECALL IT KEEPS SHUTTING COMPLETELY DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY AND THIS AFFECTS EVERYTHING STEERING, COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER TO VEHICLE. NO CODES TO INDICATE SOMETHING IS WRONG !!!! EXTREMELY DANGEROUS THIS HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR EVEN AFTER PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BRAND NEW. MORE THAN 5 TIMES ALREADY. THIS WILL MOST CERTAINLY LEAD TO DEATH. I HAVE 3 CHILDREN WITH ME AT ALL TIMES. THAT'S 4 LIVES THAT COULD BE LOST BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM!!!! . WE HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY LUCKY BECAUSE IT HAS SHIFT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND BRIDGES WHERE THERE IS NOWHERE TO GET ON THE SIDE BUT REMAIN IN THE LANES WHERE TRAFFIC IS 70 MPH AND UP!!!! THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY!!!! *TR

MY CAR LEAKS ALL AT THE TOP OF THE CAR WHEN IT RAINS. THE SUNROOF DOES NOT LEAK BUT AROUND THE WINDSHIELD LEAKS, IN THE BACK SEAT BY THE LIGHTS IT LEAKS AND AT THE EMERGENCY BREAK IT LEAKS. MY CAR GETS FLOODED AND THE FLOORING IS GETTING NASTY AND MOLDED. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE MOVING OR LET IT SIT ALONE, WHEN IT RAINS LIGHT OR HARD THE CAR FLOODS ON THE INSIDE. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN FEBRUARY 2016 AND IT HAS LEAKED SINCE I FIRST GOT THE CAR BUT ONLY GETTING WORSE.

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT ALWAYS ON. REPORTED ISSUE TO GMC THEY STATED THAT YES THE 2008 GMC ACADIA HAS A SAFETY RECALL FOR CERTAIN VIN NUMBER AND THAT ALTHOUGH MY ACADIA HAS ALL THE SAME EQUIPMENT AND AIRBAGS AS THE RECALLED ACADIA'S BUT BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE LIST THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST AND THAT FOR THEM TO REPAIR THE ISSUE WHICH IS SPECIFIED BY THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN SPECIFIED FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL WOULD BE AT MY COST. IF THE RECALL DOESN'T AFFECT MY VIN NUMBER WHY IS THE REPAIR EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE RECALL? THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AT ALL TIMES

ENGINE
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DUE TO JUMPED TIMING 3 DAYS AFTER WE HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM A DEALERSHIP AND A LITTLE OVER A YEAR LATER IT HAD JUMPED TIMING AGAIN SO NOW I HAVE TO COME UP WITH 800 TO TEAR DOWN THE MOTOR SO THEY CAN PROPERLY DIAGNOSE IT. SO I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY FOR THAT SO NOW I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT I AM PAYING FOR AND CANNOT DRIVE. IT IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AS WE SPEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY AND WE WERE GETTING READY TO LEAVE WHEN IT HAPPENED. BOTH TIMES. THE DATES IT HAPPENED WERE 1/5/2018 WITH 137000 MILES ON IT AND THE OTHER DATE WAS 2/5/2019 AND IT HAS 152045 MILES ON IT.

THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAG READINESS LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE AND/OR A 'SERVICE AIR BAG' MESSAGE WILL APPEAR IN VEHICLE'S DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER, THE AIRBAG TOGGLES OFF AND ON WHEN I HAVE A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. I FOUND THE FOLLOWING ON YOUR WEBSITE: 15536 - SPECIAL COVERAGE. CERTAIN 2008  2013 BUICK ENCLAVE, 2008-2013 GMC ACADIA, 2008-2010 SATURN OUTLOOK, AND 2009-2013 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE VEHICLES WERE RECALLED TO ADDRESS CORROSION AND/OR LOOSE CRIMPS IN THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER-SEAT MOUNTED SIDE-IMPACT AIRBAG (SIAB) WIRING-HARNESS CONNECTORS, WHICH COULD CAUSE AN INCREASE IN RESISTANCE THAT MAY DISABLE THE SIAB, FRONT-CENTER AIRBAG, IF EQUIPPED, AND SEAT-BELT PRETENSIONERS. GM HAS RECEIVED REPORTS THAT, IN SOME CASES, THE REQUIRED REPAIR MAY HAVE BEEN INCORRECTLY PERFORMED BY THE DEALER SERVICE TECHNICIAN. THE GM RECALL NUMBER WAS N14030 (GFPE NUMBER N-140030) NHTSA RECALL 14V118. DEALERS ARE TO REMOVE THE SECTION OF THE WIRE WITH THE FAULTY REPAIR AND RE-CONNECT WIRES

I PURCHASED A 2008 GMC ACADIA AND IN THE WINTER THE WIPERS WON'T TURN ON, I LIVE IN EASTERN WASHINGTON WHERE WE GET A LOT OF SNOW AND ICE AND I SEE YOUR RECALL DIDN'T INCLUDE ANY PART OF WA STATE AND I FEEL IT SHOULD INCLUDE EASTERN WA STATE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST UNSAFE CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. I CAN NOT EVEN TRADE IT IN THE GET A SAFER CAR. WE HAVE COME SO CLOSE TO HAVING MANY ACCIDENTS WITH THIS CAR. THE STEERING JUST FREEZES UP THE ENGINE WILL JUST SHUT DOWN WILL DRIVING. WE HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED ONCE AND NOT IT NEEDS REPLACED AGAIN. WE ARE NOT HARD ON OUR CARS..I JUST HOPE IT DOES NOT COME DOWN TO HAVING A ACCIDENT BEFORE SOMEONE SEES HOW BAD THIS CAR IS.. THIS HAPPENS OFF AND ON ALL THE TIME HARD TO PUT THE DATES AND TIMES DOWN WHEN THIS HAPPENS, WE TAKE INTO A DEALER AND IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH THEM OR THE COST IS JUST CRAZY.
