2017 GMC Acadia

MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT UNLOCK FOR HOURS THEN IT FINALLY DID AND RAN FOR A BIT. THEN WHEN STARTED AGAIN WOULD NOT N. THEN WENT TO BRI G IT IN AND NOTHING WORKED CORRECT. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS AT 0 AND IT WAS SCARY! THE WHOLE VEHICLE WOULD NOT WORK RIGHT AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN THEY SAID IT WAS A SIDE SENSOR MODULE AND IT WAS $735 TO REPLACE. MY CAR IS NOT THAT OLD. THEY SAID WETNESS COULD HAVE GOT TO IT. WE LIVE IN MIN EDITS. MANY CARS GET WET. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THEY SHARE SOPOSE TO BE COMING OUT WITH A RECALL AND NEW BOXES THAT COVER THESE SENSORS. I WILL BE EXPECTING TO BE REIMBURSED WHEN THIS BECOMES A RECALL WHICH IT DEFIANTLY NEEDS TO BE! I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS VEHICLE. THE PRICE OF MINE SHOULD BE ON THIS!

VEHICLE HAD MULTIPLE (MORE THAN 2) WARNING LIGHTS FLASHING ON AND OFF, WHILE RPM AND MPH NEEDLE WOULD FLUCTUATE SIMULTANEOUSLY. THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHILE IN THE DRIVEWAY AND ALSO WHILE IN MOTION. VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WITH ACCELERATOR PEDAL FULLY PRESSED, ESPECIALLY ON AN INCLINE. WHILE THIS WAS OCCURRING I HAD TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY AND TURN AROUND IN AN ADJACENT SUBDIVISION. I COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE WAY OF A CAR IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO GO FORWARD ON THE STREET DUE TO A SLIGHT INCLINE. IT WOULD ALSO JERK INTO GEAR WHEN MOVING FROM REVERSE AND DRIVE. HAD THIS HAPPENED IN A TRAFFIC INTERSECTION, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE. AFTER 6 MONTHS OF BEING 'FIXED' IT HAS STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A WEEK THIS TIME WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO FIX IT. THE LAST TIME IT WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR AROUND 10 DAYS.

THE A/C COMES ON AND OFF AUTOMATICALLY AND YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER IT. GM STATES THEY DID THIS SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO TURN YOUR DEF. ON. WHILE I'M DRIVING I CONTINUALLY HAVE TO TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD TO FIDDLE WITH THE TEMP. CONTROL. (THE A/C COMES ON FULL COLD) I'VE CONTACTED GMC AND THEY REFUSE TO DO OR OFFER ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER.

WHEN YOU PUT THE SHIFTER INTO THE PARK POSITION AND YOU TRY TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE WITH THE START/STOP BUTTON AN ON DASH ERROR CODE OF 'SHIFT TO PARK' APPEARS EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS CLEARLY IN PARK. YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. IT BEEPS INCESSANTLY, THE BATTERY REMAINS ON AND THE DOORS DO NOT WANT TO LOCK. GMC HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BY HUNDREDS OF 2017 ACADIA OWNERS HOWEVER THEIR ENGINEERS HAVE NOT FOUND A SOLUTION. THIS DEFECT IS FORCING ME TO TURN THE ENGINE ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES, TRYING PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE AND THEN SHIFTING BACK IN DRIVE, WIGGLING THE SHIFTER, OPENING THE REAR PASSENGER DOORS AND REPEATING ANY AND ALL OF THESE PROCESSES UNTIL IT EVENTUALLY TURNS OFF THE SHIFT TO PARK MESSAGE AND ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN (OR IF YOU CAN CONFUSE THE ELECTRICAL PANEL AND HAVE ANOTHER MESSAGE POP UP TO OVERRIDE IT, SUCH AS THE ONE THAT SAYS 'CHECK REAR PASSENGER SEAT". I DO NOT KNOW IF MY CAR IS EVER TRULY IN GEAR OR NOT. I'M AFRAID THAT IT MIGHT CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE MY VEHICLE ROLLS THINKING IT IS NOT IN PARK OR THE BATTERY DIES UNEXPECTEDLY OR THE VEHICLE IS STOLEN BECAUSE IT WILL NOT SHUT OFF OR THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND THIS STARTED OCCURRING AT AROUND 15,000 MILES AND IS A HIGHLY REPORTED PROBLEM THAT NECESSITATES A RECALL FIX FOR SAFETY.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2017 GMC ACADIA ON DECEMBER 14TH 2017. ON OCTOBER 11TH 2018, MY ACADIA WAS RENDERED COMPLETELY DISABLED BY A WHAT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED BY THE DEALERSHIP AS A " DEAD BATTERY" I WAS ALMOST LOCKED IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED AND THE ELECTRONIC LOCKS WOULD NOT OPERATE. THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS INDICATION, NOTIFICATION OR WARNING BY THE VEHICLE AND MONITORING SERVICE OR OF AN IMPENDING BATTERY FAILURE OBVIOUSLY, A 10 MONTH OLD BATTERY IN A NEW CAR SHOULD NOT BE COMPLETELY DRAINED AFTER ONLY 10 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP ( LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THERE MAY BE MORE AT PLAY THAN JUST A BAD BATTERY). HAD THIS HAPPENED ANYWHERE ELSE BESIDES MY DRIVEWAY, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO THE NEAREST AUTHORIZED GMC REPAIR FACILITY. THE DEALERSHIP RAN DIAGNOSTIC TESTS OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG, BUT THIS STILL LEAVES ME WITH DOUBTS ABOUT THE RELIABILITY OF THE VEHICLE AND INTEGRITY OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

SHIFT TO PARK STAYS ON WHEN PLACING MY VEHICLE INTO PARK. THIS DOES NOT ALLOW THE ELECTRONICS TO SHUT OFF INDEFINITELY RESULTING IN A DEAD BATTERY. GMC HAS STATED THAT THIS IS NOT A RECALL AND THAT BECAUSE I AM OUT OF MY WARRANTY THIS IS NOT COVERED. AFTER READING MULTIPLE FORUMS THERE ARE HUNDRED OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE FROM 100MILES TO 60K+ AND GM HAS REFUSED TO MAKE THIS A RECALL. SOMEONE DID STATE THAT THEY GOT THEIR SHIFT ASSEMBLY REPLACED AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH GM AND NOT STANDING BEHIND AN ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURE. THEY ALSO ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH CADILLAC STEMMING FORM THEIR TENNESSEE PLANT. BUYERS BEWARE!

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AFTER DRIVING AND THE PLACED IN PARK, THE VEHICLE FAILS TO RECOGNIZE THAT IS IN "PARK". THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR ACCESSORIES TO REMAIN RUNNING AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING EVEN WHEN THE ENGINE IS OFF. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. FROM REVIEW OF INFORMATION, THIS IS A KNOW MANUFACTURING DEFECT FROM GM. WHEN GM WAS CONTACTED TO HAVE REPAIRED IN THE VEHICLE WE WERE INFORMED THAT THEY CANNOT WARRANTY THEIR VEHICLES FOREVER AND IT WOULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN INAPPROPRIATE RESPONSE FOR AN ISSUE THAT IS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM BUT HAS BEEN PUBLISHED AS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO THE OFF POSITION WITH THE ENGINE DEPOWERED HOWEVER, THE ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS CONTINUE TO FUNCTION. THE BRAKE ASSIST AND STEERING ASSIST WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. DISCOVERY CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (2705 US-421, BOONE, NC) WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE GMC MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE TECHNICIANS TO TIGHTEN THE TENSIONER CABLE TO TEMPORARILY REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 16,000.KH
