2012 GMC ACADIA Complaints

I BOUGHT A GMC ACADIA 2012 IN 2015 I DIDN'T HAVE IT A YEAR AND START HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE AIR CONDITION I COULD HERE A SEEPING SOUND IT WOULD ALWAYS BLOW WHEN I TURN IT ON, BUT IN LESS THAN A YEAR IT START BLOWING WARM AIR,I TOOK IT BACK WHERE I BOUGHT IT FROM THREE TIME FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, AFTER THE THIRD TIME THEY SAID MY CONDENER HAD A HOLE IN IT CAUSING THE FREEON TO LEAK OUT, I THINK IT WAS ALWAY READY LIKE THAT WHEN I BOUGHT IT, THEY JUST DIDN'T, SAY ANYTHING ITHINK TTHEY SHOULD FIX IT WITHOUT ME PAYING FOR IT TO BE FIX. THIS CAR WAS ON CAR LOT.

I WAS DRIVING VERY SLOW AND THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. IT HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE TIMES IN THE 6 WEEKS

EVAPORATOR CORE LEAKING AND THEREFORE SENDING TOXIC FREON CHEMICALS/PARTICLES INTO THE AIR INCLUDING AN ORDER THAT REMINDS ME OF FARM WASTE. MANY COMPLAINTS ON ACADIA, TRAVERSE, AND ENCLAVE. THERE IS A BULLETIN OUT THERE FOR MECHANICS ON HOW TO FIX, BUT YET NO RECALL. COST TO REPAIR $1,300+

2012 GMC ACADIA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FAILED TIMING CHAIN. *LD THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.*JS

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. AIRBAGS WILL LIKELY NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. NHTSA SHOWS A RECALL ON THIS ITEM FOR ALL 2012 ACADIAS; HOWEVER, MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW UP AS A PENDING RECALL. GMC DEALER AND GMC BOTH DECLINE TO ADDRESS ISSUE AS A RECALL. *TR

WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AND ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND COULD NOT TURN THE CAR. ALMOST GOT IN AN ACCIDENT. THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. NO PREVIOUS ACCIDENTS, 90,000 MILES. REPAIRS INCLUDED: NEW STERING PUMP, NEW HOSES AND NEW RACK AND PINION GEAR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A WARNING INDICATOR FOR THE ENGINE THAT RANDOMLY FLASHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT INDEPENDENT MECHANICS AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE INDEPENDENT MECHANICS REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,185.

LIFTGATE STRUTS DID FAIL AND THE LIFTGATE FELL DOWN UNCONTROLLABLY. IT HAPPENED EXACTLY AS MENTIONED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 15V415000 BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST SO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE ISSUE UNDER WARRANTY AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET.

LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST AT LOW RPM. RESULT: HARD TO TURN ON EITHER DIRECTION. WHEN PARKING, REVING UP THE ENGINE HELPS STEERING ASSIST RETURN TO "NORMAL". PROBLEM IS AT IT WORST AFTER DRIVING FOR 20 MINUTES OR MORE. NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE: I WAS COMING OF THE FREEWAY AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN (AT SLOWER SPEED) WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL "FELT LOCKED AND I NEARLY ENDED UP DRIVING OVER AN BUSY OVERPASS. IT WAS ONLY DUE TO LUCK, VERY HARD BRAKING AND HARD MANUAL STEERING THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO TURN A LITTLE AND STOP BEFORE DRIVING OVER OVERPASS. STEERING FLUID LEVEL IS NORMAL. I AM VERY CONVERNED AS SOMOENE COULD GET HURT WHEN I LOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER THE VEHICLE (NO WARNING LIGHTS AND ENGINE RUNNING AS NORMAL). I CAN'T ALLOW MY WIFE TO DRIVE THIS DEATH TRAP. DEALER RECOMMENDED NEW STERING PUMP NEW HOSES AND NEW RACK AND PINION GEAR. CAR HAS ONLY 96,000 NEVER BEEN IN ACCIDENTS. OVER $4,000 IN REPPAIRS!

74,000 MILES ON MY 2012 GMC ACADIA. AS OF TODAY I WILL HAVE HAD 3 POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSES ON THIS VEHICLE. THE LAST ONE I JUST HAD FOR 2 YEARS AND THEY ARE REPLACING IT NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER TELLS ME THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND GM HAS NOT MADE AN UPDATE TO THE PART. SO THIS NEW PART COULD LAST MAYBE A YEAR OR TWO AND I WILL BE BACK IN REPLACING IT AT A COST OF $1300.00 EACH TIME. FORTUNATELY FOR ME MY CAR DID NOT SEIZE UP, MY MECHANIC FOUND THE LEAK AND I HAD IT REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY.
