AT ABOUT 92,000 MILES, MY VEHICLE'S POWER STEERING BEGAN RANDOMLY GOING OUT. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET OR ON A CITY STREET. IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED AT LOWER SPEEDS AND WHEN I'M BACKING UP, BUT IT HAS BEEN A BIT OF AN ISSUE. AFTER SEARCHING GOOGLE, I NOTICED THERE HAS BEEN A SLIGHT PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING IN THESE VEHICLES. I THOUGHT I SHOULD ISSUE A COMPLAINT.

"TAKATA RECALL" WE WERE NOTIFIED NOVEMBER 2015 THAT OUR AIR BAGS COULD CAUSE SEVER INJURY OR DEATH! WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU WAITING FOR..ANOTHER LAWSUIT!!!!! WHEN WILL THIS BE REPAIRED OR GIVEN A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE IN THE INTERIM?????!!!!!

TIMING CHAIN FAILURE ON THE ENGINE AROUND 84,000 MILES. DEALER AND GM RECOMMENDED A FULL ENGINE REPLACEMENT (INITIALLY, ALL COSTS TO REPLACE ON ME). REPLACEMENT ENGINE (REBUILD/ RE MANUFACTURE) WAS THEN RECALLED IN APRIL 2016 FOR FAULTY PISTON RINGS. THIS ENGINE WAS REPLACED AT NO COST. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ENGINE / MODEL YEARS!

HAVING THE SAME CHECK ENGINE LIGHT/TIMING CHAIN STRETCH ISSUE. AFTER RESEARCHING I FOUND THAT THESE MODELS OIL CHANGE CYCLE WERE TO BE SET AT 3000 MILES. I ALSO KNOW THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE ON MODELS THROUGH AT LEAST 2012 BUT GM STILL HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THESE MODELS.

ENGINE LIGHT PROMPTED A TRIP TO THE GMC DEALER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE CHECKED OUT. WE WERE TOLD IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN AND IT WAS A KNOW PROBLEM, HOWEVER GMC IS NOT COVERING IT.ALSO TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED GMC ACADIA ARE KNOWN FOR BOTH PROBLEMS AND WILL NOT FIX.IT'S GOING TO COST AROUND $5,000 TO FIX BOTH THESE NEED TO BE RECALLED,I HAD A CASE OPEN WITH GMC AND THEY WILL COVER NOTHING. WORST SUV EVER

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT CONTINUES TO BURN OUT AND THE BULB HARNESS DOES NOT SECURELY HOLD THE BULB. MULTIPLE FAILURES OF THE HARNESS AND BULBS MAKE DRIVING AT NIGHT A SAFETY HAZARD. BASED ON OUR MECHANICS OPINION, THE FAULT IS A POOR DESIGN OF THE PART AND IT SHOULD BE REDESIGNED AND RECALLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS SO FAR AND AT A COST TO REPAIR/REPLACE EACH TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC ACADIA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATED AT LOWER SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOISED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 140,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC ACADIA. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

AT 80,000 MILES, AFTER PULLING OUT OF PARKING, WHEN I APPLIED BRAKES THE CAR STARTED MAKING RUMBLING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AND LURCHED FORWARD DESPITE PRESSING ON BRAKES TO STOP. PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT, WHILE CONTINUING TO FIGHT LURCHING OF VEHICLE AND TURNED CAR OFF TO CHECK ENGINE OIL, TRANSMISSION OIL, AND POWER STEERING OIL LEVELS. ALL WERE FINE. WHEN ATTEMPTED RESTART OF VEHICLE, LOUD RUMBLING NOISE FROM ENGINE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLICKERED AND THE CAR FAILED TO START. REQUIRED A TOW HOME FROM 100 MILES AWAY AND $400. HOOKED UP OBD, AND RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING FAULTS P0008, P0303, P0305, P0017, P0300, P0301. AFTER RESEARCHING ON-LINE, COMMON FAULTS FOR TIMING CHAIN ISSUE ESTIMATE $3-4 THOUSAND REPAIR. ALSO, FOUND 2007-2009 ACADIA RECEIVED EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR SAME ISSUE. HOWEVER, 2010 NOT COVERED DESPITE FINDING APPROXIMATELY 15 IDENTICAL 2010 GMC ACADIA ON NHTSA SITE. I WILL BE CALLING DEALERSHIP FIRST WORKDAY, HOWEVER EXPECT TO BE TOLD TIMING CHAIN ISSUE BASED ON CODES AND THAT GMC WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR SINCE I AM OUTSIDE OF THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY, DESPITE LESS THAN THEIR 100,000 MILE COVERAGE.
