2015 GMC ACADIA Complaints

HELLO, WITH ONLY 50,000 MILES ON MY ONE OWNER GMC ACADIA, THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAILED, LEAVING ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD (TOWN STREET, HOWEVER, STILL CONCERNING AS I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT FROM THE FRONT OR REAR). PER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT GMC IS AVOIDING. SINCE THEN, I HAVE NOT DRIVEN CAR ON HIGHWAY FOR FEAR IT WILL HAPPEN AT A HIGHER SPEED CAUSING TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL.

"SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND OFF FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW. IT DOESN'T CONSISTENTLY STAY ON. IT COMES ON SOMETIMES WHEN I HAVE MY PURSE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE CAR CAN BE MOVING OR IDLE. I'VE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME SUBJECT. I GOT A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AT THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WOULD BE $1566.00 TO REPAIR IT.

WE HAD OUR CAR'S BUMPER REPAIRED, SHORTLY PRIOR TO TAKING IT THE BODY SHOP THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT CAME ON. THE AUTO BODY SHOP CHECKED AND INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL / CAMPAIGN - 15804A, IT APPLIED TO GMC ACADIA'S MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 2014-2015. THE CAMPAIGN WAS VALID FOR A 6 YEAR PERIOD, 72,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 57,500 MILES AND IS 2015. GMC HAS INDICATED IT'S NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE PAPERS THE AUTOBODY SHOP SHARED ARE FOR A CAMPAIGN #15804A. FROM WHAT I CAN SEE IT WAS ISSUED ON FEBRAURY 8, 2017.THE DEALER SAYS THE RECALL EXPIRED IN NOVEMBER (YES DURING A PANDEMIC WHEN WE'RE ASKED TO DO OUR BEST TO MINIMIZE EXPOSURE, AND GM CAN'T EVEN LOCATE THE RECALL.. NOT SAFE AT ALL, FROM A LOT OF LENSES.

THE ISSUE STARTED WITH MY BACK HATCH OPENING ON ITS OWN AT RANDOM TIMES. FOUND OUT THIS WAS CAUSED BY WATER ENTERING THE LIFT SWITCH. THAT PROBLEM LEAD TO THE BATTERY EVENTUALLY GOING BAD AND THEN THE HEADLIGHTS BEING BLOWN DUE THE BAD BATTERY. NOT SURE HOW WATER GOT IN THE BACK HATCH RUINING THE SENSOR BUT THIS IS COSTING ME ABOUT $1000 TO FIX.

THE SUV STARTS TO PULL WHEN GEAR SWITCHES TO THE NEXT GEAR MAKING MY SUV NOT CHANGE GEAR TOOK IT TO A MECHANICAL THEY SAY IT'S THE ADJUST CLUTCHES IT SHOULD BE RECALL BUT IT'S NOT

MY CAR WHINED AND GROANED WHEN YOU TURN THE WHEEL SO I TOOK IT IN AND HAD THE POWER STEERING PUMP REPLACED AND NOW MY WHEEL.WONT TURN AT ALL .UPON READING MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THIS VEHICLE FOUND IT MAY BE THE RACK AND PINION I AM.GOING TO HAVE TO TOW TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC TO SEE IF THE NEW PROBLEM IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR THREE MONTHS AGO, THE A/C IS NO LONGER BLOWING COLD AIR. THE AIR BLOWS BUT NOT COLD AND THE HEAT WORKS JUST FINE. FROM WHAT I'VE READ ONLINE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS..

WITHIN THE LAST WEEK, MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN WOULD GO OFF, EITHER WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING. I COULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON, STAY ON FOR A MINUTE, GO OFF FOR A MINUTE AND COME BACK ON. IT DID THIS FOR SEVERAL DAYS. NOW THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALL OF THE TIME. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN A CRASH.

MY HEADLIGHTS STARTED GOING DIM, AND WOULD GO COMPLETELY OFF. I HAD TO CONTINUOUSLY TURN THE HEADLIGHTS ON AND OFF TO KEEP THEM WORKING. THIS WOULD HAPPEN EVERY COUPLE OF MINUTES WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON, THE VEHICLE HASN'T BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT. SOMETIMES THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN COME BACK ON, SEEMS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM.
