2010 GMC ACADIA Complaints

TRANSMISION SLIPS IN DRIVE ON HILLS. IT ACTUALLY ROLLS BACKWARDS WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OF THE BRAKE. EVEN WHEN THE TRANSMISION IS IN GEAR

TOOK THE CAR IN TO HAVE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIAGNOISED. DEALER ADVISED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDS REPLACEMENT. ESTIMATE IS $3300+ GM KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH TIMING CHAINS IN THE 07-09 ACADIAS, AND HAVE PROVIDED ASSISTANCE TO OWNERS OF THOSE VEHICLES. IT'S CLEAR TO ME THEY HAVEN'T GOT THE PROBLEMS SOLVED YET. 2010 ACADIA 111,000 KM (69,000 MI) SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGED @ 10,000 KM INTERVALS

I WAS AT A LOCAL DRIVE THRU WINDOW AND I WAS STOPPED, MY CAR WAS IN PARK. I WAS BEGINNING TO LEAVE, CAR IN DRIVE AND I HIT THE PASSENGER FRONT RIGHT TIRE ON THE CURB. SO I LEFT OFF THE GAS, TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO GET OFF THE CURB BUT THE GAS PEDAL "STUCK." IT DID NOT LIFT UP! I TRIED TO PUSH ON THE BRAKES, BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO UN-STICK THE GAS PEDAL BY SHOVING MY FOOT UNDER THE PEDAL AND LIFTING IT UP! I WAS FORCED FULL SPEED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND I HAD MY ENTIRE FAMILY IN MY CAR!! SCARY, AND TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. THANKFULLY WE ARE ALL OK, BUT MY GAS PEDAL SHOULD NOT BE STICKING!

TIRES CRACKING BETWEEN THE TREAD WHEN THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ON THE CAR TWO YEARS, READ THAT GOODYEAR TIRE COMPANY HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH SOME TIRES, BUT DO NOT SEE MINE LISTED. FORTERA HL 225/65R18 4BXN ARDR 2813 ? I WAS TOLD THESE ARE NOT SAFE.

CURRENT RECALL STATES: "THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, EQUIPPED WITH THE POWER LIFTGATE OPTION, HAVE GAS STRUTS THAT HOLD THE POWER LIFTGATE UP WHEN OPEN. THESE STRUTS MAY PREMATURELY WEAR AND THE OPEN LIFTGATE MAY SUDDENLY FALL." MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THE BACK LIFT GATE WILL OPEN AND THEN WITH GREAT FORCE CLOSES DOWN QUICKLY. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY CONCERN AS I WAS STRUCK BY IT ON MONDAY 10/26/2015 WHEN THE PROBLEM INITIALLY OCCURRED. AFTER SPEAKING WITH GMC THERE IS CURRENTLY NO RESOLVE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN, AND NO RESOLUTION IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

VEHICLE IS HARD TO STEER WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REVERSE AND PARK OR TURN RIGHT OR LEFT. STEERING SO HARD THAT ALMOST CANT TURN AT ALL. CHECKED POWER STEERING FLUID AND IT IS FULL. ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE RADIO CHANGING STATIONS ON ITS OWN AS WELL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. DOES NOT MATTER HOW FAST YOU ARE DRIVING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER PARKED THE VEHICLE, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND REMOVED THE KEY, BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO OPERATE. THE BATTERY CABLE HAD TO BE DETACHED IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO POWER OFF. AFTER TEN MINUTES, THE CONTACT RECONNECTED THE BATTERY AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED FOR THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

50,000 MILES AND THE STEERING PUMP OR RACK IS LEAKING AND WHINING. POWER STEERING VERY SLUGGISH AT LOW IDLE SPEEDS.

AS I WAS DRIVING ALONG, THE POWER STEERING FAILED SUDDENLY. I GOT TO A SAFE PLACE, CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID. IT WAS FULL. SINCE THAT EVENT, THE POWER STEERING FAILS REGULARLY AND MAKES THE VEHICLE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO MANEUVER.
