I TOOK MY 09 GMC ACADIA TO THE GM AUTO TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN NOT FIX UNLESS I PAY THE $2043 TO FIX MY POWER STEERING, BUT I BELIEVE ITS ALL RELATED TO THAT POWER STEERING FAILURE THAT IS COVER UNDER THE GM POLICY. AND ITS THE SAME PROBLEM TO ALL THE ACADIA THAT ARE OUT THERE SO I SUGGEST THE GM TO FIX ALL GMC ACADIA WITHOUT ANY COST TO ALL THE OWNERI IF THEY FIX IT RIGHT WE WOULDN'T COMPLAINT AT ALL

IN SEPTEMBER 2014, RECALL #14187 WAS PREFORMED AND REPAIR ON MY VEHICLE. HOWEVER NOW IS SEPTEMBER OF 2015, WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED COMING ON. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TO LOOK AT UNDER AIR BAG LIGHT SPECIAL COVERAGE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED. ISSUE FOR THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT I WAS TOLD IS DUE TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT RETRACTOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE. CALL GM TO COMPLAIN. WAS TOLD ORIGINAL RECALL WAS REPAIRED. IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS STILL AN ISSUE EVEN AFTER THE RECALL WAS DONE. NOW IT IS THE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR INSTEAD OF THE TENSIONER.

THE TIRE SENSOR LIGHT HAS COME ON RECENTLY AS WELL AND I HAVE PUT AIR IN MY TIRES BUT THE SENSOR WILL NOT GO OFF.

TOOK 2009 ACADIA SLT TO A DEALERSHIP IN FEB 2015 FOR THE GASKET RECALL ON THE HEADLIGHTS. THE DEALERSHIP MARKED THE RECALL AS COMPLETED. HAD THE OIL CHANGED TODAY, 9-25-15, AT A NON-GMC DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE TECHNICIAN TELL ME THAT THE DAYTIME LIGHT WAS JUST HANGING IN THE ASSEMBLY. AFTER LOOKING, I COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EYES. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE OVER TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS LOOKED AT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR REPLACING THE GASKET. I HAVE A HOLE IN THE HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLY THE SIZE OF TEXAS ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES WHERE THE GASKET WAS COMPLETELY BURNED AND THE BULB MELTED THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT! REALLY?!!! I AM NOT PAYING THEM TO FIX THIS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE SIMPLE FACT THAT THE MELTING HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY COULD EASILY MELT THE WIRES. THE WORST PART IS, I AM SURE THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ALREADY DAMAGED WHEN THE "REPLACED" THE GASKETS, WHICH NOW I AM SURE THEY DID NOT. SO I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND WITH THIS ISSUE WHEN THE GMC TECHNICIAN WAS SUPPOSE TO FIX THE GASKETS. EVEN IF THE GASKETS WERE ALREADY MELTED, HE SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME AND HE DID NOT. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND REMOVES ANY TRUST THAT I HAD WITH THIS DEALERSHIP.

AT LOW RATES OF SPEED, MY 2009 GMC ACADIA TEMPORARILY LOOSES POWER ASSIST STEERING. IT OCCURS OFF AND ON (NOT PREDICTABLE). WHEN THE POWER ASSIST FAILS, I STRUGGLE TO TURN THE WHEEL WHILE IN TRAFFIC. AT A COUPLE TIMES, THE POWER ASSIST KICKED BACK ON SUDDENLY, CAUSING ME TO OVERCOMPENSATE AND ALMOST GET INTO AN ACCIDENT.

I HAVE A 2009 GMC ACADIA. WAS PURCHASED IN FEBRUARY 2015 FROM BARKER GMC DEALERSHIP. FIRST PROBLEM I HAD WAS IN THE FIRST MONTH OF ME HAVING THE VEHICLE IT STARTED TO MISFIRE SO HAD TO GET THE COILS CHANGED. THEN MY A/C IS NOT WORKING. IN MAY IT STARTED MAKING A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THEN END OF JUNE SOMETIME AND IS STILL OCCURING IT STARTS WHEN I AM GOING TO TURN AFTER SLOWING DOWN IT'S LIKE MY STEERING WHEEL GETS STUCK AND IS HARD TO TURN. WHEN I AM DRIVING AT A SLOW RATE OR SLOWING DOWN TO TURN SOMEWHERE THAT WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL WANTS TO GET STUCK. THEREFORE MOST DEFINITELY POSES A DANGER TO FAMILY WHEN THEY ARE IN THE VEHICLE TO MYSELF WHEN DRIVING AND TO OTHERS ON THE RODE. THIS IS MY FAMILY VEHICLE! I HAVE 3 DAUGHTERS AND 8 MONTH OLD TWIN BOYS IN THERE AND I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING IT. BUT I DEFINITELY DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO GET THESE PROBLEMS FIXED AND DEFINITELY DON'T FEEL IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR PROBLEMS THAT GM KNEW ABOUT FOR WHAT 3 YEARS NOW! THIS VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ON THE GMC DELEARSHIP CAR LOT FOR SALE WITH THEM KNOWING OF THESE UNSAFE PROBLEMS. I BOUGHT THIS ACADIA 2-3 YEARS AFTER THIS LAWSUIT WAS PUT AGAINST THEM AND THE PEOPLE AT GMC DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO TELL ME ABOUT IT'S UNSAFE PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING NOR DID IT COME UP WITH ME CHECKING ON THIS VEHICLE. IF I KNEW I COULD GO AFTER THEM TO GET MY 5,500 THAT I PUT DOWN ON THIS VEHICLE AND MY MONEY BACK FOR MY CAR NOTES I HAVE BEEN PAYING SINCE MARCH OF THIS YEAR, I WOULD!!! IF THEY CARED ABOUT THE WELL-BEING OF HUMAN LIFE THEY WOULD NOT STILL BE SELLING ANY OF THE VEHICLES THAT ARE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS TIL THEY RESOLVE THEM!!! THERE MOST DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. THIS IS CAUSING A SAFETY RISK FOR CHILDREN, WOMEN, AND MEN. ACTIONS DEFINITELY NEED TO TAKE PLACE ON THIS MATTER.
