2025 GMC Acadia

Since delivery, my 2025 GMC Acadia AT4 has had severe wind noise from the driver's side window at highway speeds. The noise sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard and at times as though the window may shatter. I have taken it to the dealership 4 times with no resolution. I provided video clearly capturing the noise and was still told they could not hear it. I have confirmed the dealer road tests the vehicle in morning traffic at low speeds — where the noise cannot occur. It only happens at highway speeds. Their "cannot duplicate" finding is the result of inadequate testing, not the absence of a defect. After sitting for approximately 7 days, condensation builds up inside the cabin, indicating the driver's side window seal is improperly installed. I reported this to the dealer as well with no fix. After 4 visits, dismissed video evidence, and improper test procedures, the defect remains unrepaired. I request NHTSA investigate this as a potential widespread issue on 2025 GMC Acadia vehicles.

Our onstar module has stopped working since last November after a software update and now issues are starting to cascade causing many other electrical issues to the point that I expect the car to leave my wife and 15 month old daughter stranded. Ours and many other vehicles are having this issue and when any question is asked to gm no response is given or we’re just told to keep waiting.

I got into my car to leave, I placed my phone on the wireless charging pad. When I got to my location about 10 minutes later, I grabbed my phone and went to put the wrist band attached to my phone around my wrist. The wrist band is a metal chain and it burned me on the side of my wrist and top of hand. I took the wrist band off as fast as I could, then touched it with my fingers to make sure that is where the sting was coming form, and it was. The passenger in the car also confirmed that the wrist band was dangerously hot. I took pictures of the burn marks it left on my wrist and hand.

While backing out of a parking place my husband noticed he couldn't stop the 2025 Acadia and almost hit restraunt behind us, while pusing on the break. He then started to go forward and kept saying "I can't stop it, it won't stop, I'm pushing on the break." The vehicle then went forward and couldn't stop even pushing on the break. I tried pusing the button to turn off the 2025 Acadia a couple times (possible turning back on and because he foot was on the break restarted the vehicle) and then pushed park to see if that would stop. We hit the building in front of us and stopped. The air bags did not deploy so not going that fast. I pushed the button for 911 and they came on to assist and call police and asked if everyone was all right and other questions. Lucky no on was hurt and thank God for that. Tow truck was called and taken to local tow yard.

I accidentally ran out of gas and my car died directly underneath a railroad crossing arm. I had been stopped to allow an Amtrak train to go by and my car died when I started to move forward after it passed. Thankfully I wasn't on the tracks, but I was close to them. I immediately got out of my car and the woman behind me said she would help push me out of the way of the crossing arm. I went to put my car in neutral, something I do weekly when I go through the car wash, but my dash kept saying "conditions not correct for shift". I tried repeatedly and it would not allow me to put the car in neutral because I couldn't fully turn it on. I did a quick search online and found there was no information on how to get it into neutral if the car is dead. My battery was still working and my car was in accessory while I was trying to change gears. I had to call 911 and they had to reach out to BNSF to alert incoming trains. It was an ordeal. I spotted a tree removal company across the street and they had a can of gas for me to use. I was able to partially fill my tank and then drive across the tracks before a train came. Afterwards I called the dealer and we discovered together that there is no backup safety feature that allows a disabled car to be put into neutral. The dealer was just as surprised as me. This seems like an obvious safety issue if a car is to break down on train tracks, the middle of the freeway, or in an intersection. I don't understand why it is allowed and why dealerships and the public are seemingly unaware of it.

I was driving on a two-lane road when unexpectedly my front moonroof spontaneously shattered sending glass down on top of me, the console area, and the passenger and rear seating areas of my 2025 GMC Acadia. It happened without warning and no external factors. It was a pleasant sunny November day. The moonroof was not open at the time. Fortunately no one else was in the vehicle with me at the time and no other cars were nearby since the two-lane is not a heavy traffic area. This put my safety at risk and could have put others at risk had others been in the vehicle or nearby since I was startled and had the natural reaction of crouching over and down in an attempt to protect myself therefore taking my eyes off the road and not paying enough attention to driving the vehicle. Glass could have fallen and hurt other passengers. The remaining moonroof glass crackled and I then looked up in shock wondering what happened and then feared glass fall into my eyes and immediately looked down away from the moonroof. I had just left my residence before the incident and was less than two miles from home. I found the next available place to turn around and drive back to my home and exit the vehicle. I then called the dealership I bought the vehicle from in January 2025, new. I also called GM Customer Service to seek assistance. The vehicle has 7125 miles. There were no warning signs. The incident happened today and no one has inspected the vehicle and its damage. A customer service case was opened with GM. I sent pictures to the dealer service manager who said he attached the pictures to my GM case online.

I purchased this 2025 GMC Acadia on 3/29/2025. About a week into owning it, the navigation stopped working. OnStar was able to reset my system. Then, about a month later, the vehicle locked my keys in the cabin without my knowledge. OnStar was able to unlock my vehicle remotely. Then, on 10/23/2025, I noticed my navigation was not showing my true location. I tried the Google Assistant, and it wasn't connected. After further investigation, my wifi hotspot was not working either, along with other connectivity apps. I researched how to manually reset my system and followed all prompts; that did not fix the problem. I pressed the OnStar button, and nothing happened; no connection. I thought that maybe the vehicle needed to cycle a few times. I let this continue for about a week before calling OnStar from my phone. They told me to press my SOS button; if it didn't connect, then I would need to take the vehicle to the dealership. So I took it to the dealership 11/6/25. They tried to download the update to my vehicle multiple times, over 6 hours at the shop, and the vehicle wouldn't accept the update. It is determined that the OnStar telematics control module is defective. The dealership says the part is backordered, and they do not have an ETA for arrival. After perusing the GM/OnStar forums, I am seeing that this is a repeated issue for many customers on vehicles as old as 2018, and the part doesn't come for 6 months or more in most cases. It does seem more prevalent with vehicles 2022-current. The issue here is that OnStar is touted as a safety feature, and I have been given 3 years of free OnStar service. I am unable to utilize the service (roadside assistance, accident assistance, and navigation) and many other features because of this. GM is aware that this is an issue, and the module is backordered when it should be readily available, since these issues seem to be commonplace. My brand new vehicle should work without issue and should be repaired promptly.
