2011 GMC ACADIA Complaints

"TAMARA RECALL". I RECEIVED SEVERAL NOTICES. INITIALLY AUTO DEALERSHIP DENIED RECALL EXISTED. NOW CLAIMS IT DOESN'T APPLY TO MY CAR. ORIGINAL OWNER AND LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA. WHAT ENGINE THE HECK IS GOING ON? DO WE HAVE TO HAVE A FATAL INJURY TO GET THEIR ATTENTION? ENGINE MOUNTS KEEP BREAKING, 16,000 MILE INTERVALS. FIRST TIME DEALERSHIP REPLACED. NOW AT 33,000 MILES MY PHONE PROBLEM? GUESS WE NEED CATASTROPHIC FAILURE BEFORE MANUFACTURER ENGINEERS BETTER ENGINE MOUNTS?! LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE, CAREFUL DRIVER ON GOOD ROADS. PLEASE SEND FEEDBACK. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE AIR VENT NOT BLOWING ALL THE OTHER VENTS WORK. DEALER SAID IT WAS THE AIR DOOR ACTUATOR. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME WE HAVE HAD OUR ACADIA IN FOR COOLING ISSUES EACH TIME WE HAVE HAD TO PAY BIG BUCKS WE DO NOT HAVE!!!!

FUEL TAKE INDICATOR FLUCTUATES NOT GIVING AN ACCURATE READING OF ACTUAL GAS IN TANK. IT WILL READ 3/4 TANK AND AFTER TURNING OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN IT WILL READ ON "E". WE DO NOT PARK ON A HILL WE HAVE A FLAT DRIVEWAY/GARAGE. THIS HAPPENS ANYWHERE I GO. I HAVE ALMOST RAN OUT OF GAS NUMEROUS TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS.

THE DAYTIME LIGHTS, THE BULBS KEEP BURNING OUT. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE LO BEAM LIGHTS 4 TTIME NOW. THIS TENDS TO BE A PROBLEM FOR THE GMC ACADIA AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON IT TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. MANY APPEAR TO HAVE THE ACTUAL SOCKETS MELTED I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCE THAT BUT WITHIN THE LAT 12 MONTHS I HAVE REPLACED THE LO BEAM LIGHTS 4 TIMES THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS THIS TIME THEY BOTH WENT OUT WITHIN THE SAME DRIVE AND I WAS LEFT WITH ONLY HI BEAM BUT LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE TO HOME.

VEHICLE CAME OUT OF PARK SITTING IN DRIVEWAY WHILE BEING CLEANED OUT. THE KEY WAS NOT IN THE IGNITION; HOWEVER THE GEAR SHIFT WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK AS SOMEONE REACHED OVER ACROSS THE SEAT. PASSENGER SIDE DOORS WERE OPEN AND AS THE VEHICLE ROLLED , THE DOORS HIT MY POUCH CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER DOORS. MY CHILDREN HAD TO JUMP OUT OF THE WAY TO AVOID BEING RAN OVER. THERE IS A SERIOUS DEFECT ON 2011 ACADIA AND THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. I NEED FOR GMC TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE GEAR SHIFTER IS NOT SUPPOSE TO MOVE WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND TURNED TO THE ON POSITION PLUS THE BRAKE MUST BE PUSH TO ACTIVE. SO GMC WHAT HAPPEN? I COULD BE BURYING ONE OF MY CHILDREN. THE DAMAGE IS OVER $2300 AND I HAVE A $500 DEDUCTIBLE NOT INCLUDING THE COST TO FIX WHY THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS ABLE TO MOVE. I NEED TO BE MADE WHOLE ($500 DEDUCTIBLE REIMBURSEMENT AND MY GEAR SHIFTER PROBLEM FIXED). MILEAGE AT TIME OF INCIDENT WAS 71,796.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE REMAINED AT THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED DAILY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

THE CAR STARTED TO MAKE A LOUD WHINING SOUND 3 MONTH AFTER WE PURCHASED IT USED. THEN POWER STEERING STARTED TO GO IN AND OUT. TOOK THE CAR TO A AUTO CARE SHOP AND THIS IS WHAT THE BILL SAID. "REPLACE POWER STEERING PUMP, TRIED TO FLUSH SYSTEM 2 TIMES, BLEED OUT AIR, REPLACE POWER STEERING PUMP AGAIN, STILL NO POWER STEERING." SPOKE WITH GMC AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP, WE ARE COVERED UNDER SPECIAL COVERAGE 14329. GOING TO DEALERSHIP THIS WEEK. WE HAVE ALREADY SPENT A LITTLE LESS THEN $1000 ON THIS PROBLEM.

THE DAYTIME LIGHTS, THE BULB HAS MELTED ITSELF INTO THE SOCKET. YOU CANNOT JUST REPLACE THE BULB, YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE SOCKET ALSO. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE. I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BULBS BEING TOO HOT UNTIL I WAS GOING TO REPLACE A BURNED OUT BULB. THE I REALIZED THE BULB HAD MELTED INTO THE SOCKET. THIS TENDS TO BE A PROBLEM FOR THE GMC ACADIA AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON IT TO CORRECT THE ISSUE.

CAN STARTED TO SMOKE. PANEL STATED REDUCE ENGINE. COULDN'T GO OVER 20MPH. CAR BROKE DOWN WITH TWO KIDS IN CAR.

WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AS A CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE ON MARCH 11, 2015. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLAMP TWICE AND THE DRIVERS SIDE ONCE. I TOO HAVE RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THE SAME ISSUE WITH MANY OF THE SAME VEHICLES. THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS ARE A SAFETY ITEM THAT IS REQUIRED TO DRIVE AT NIGHT SO THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING DONE BY GM. I WOULD INVITE ANY OF THE CUSTOMER CARE MANAGERS AT GM TO CONTACT ME.
