2015 GMC ACADIA Complaints

APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. SEVERAL WARNING INDICATORS APPEARED (E.G. "STABILITRACK OFF", ETC.), THEN THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN. PROPULSION STOPPED AND THE VEHICLE SLOWLY CAME TO A STOP. LUCKILY, MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO STEER OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, ALTHOUGH IT WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE DEALER HAD FIXED IT, THEN RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO US. TWO MONTHS LATER, THE IDENTICAL THING OCCURRED; SAME ERROR MESSAGES FOLLOWED BY THE VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN, IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IT. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, AND A DIFFERENT PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED (WITH THE VEHICLE OUT OF SERVICE > 2 WEEKS THIS TIME). WE HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE, AND FEEL IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER ONLY EMITTED HOT AIR. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMPRESSOR HOSE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 42,000.

SERVICE AIR BAGS. THE WHOLE AIR BAG SYSTEM FROM FRONT TO BACK NEEDS SERVICING. I BELIEVE GMC ACAIDAS NEED TO BE RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC ACADIA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND THE CONTACT HAD TO EXERT EXCESSIVE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT THEN HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY DISENGAGED AND SLOWED DOWN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,021.

GEAR SELECTOR CAN BE CHANGED WITHOUT PRESSING BRAKE OR HAVING KEYS IN INHIBITION. MY 4YR OLD SWITCHED THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND ROLLED IT DOWN OUR DRIVEWAY INTO OUR GARAGE

SERVICE STABILITRAK--TRACTION CONTROL OFF! MESSAGE, THEN CAR RAN ROUGH AND LUNGED ON ACCELERATION. THIS HAPPENED AT 5,000 MILES, REPAIRED AT DEALER. AGAIN ABOUT 12,000 ON A TRIP AND RESET ITSELF. NOW, AT 20,000 MILES SAMES MESSAGE AND IS AT THE DEALER BEING REPAIRED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS.

EVERYTIME IT RAINS THE PASSENGER FLOOR GETS WET. I CAN NOT SEE THE WATER COMING IN. HOWEVER, THE MAT AND FLOOR CARPET IS ALWAYS WET AFTER IT RAINS, EVEN IF THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HAS NOT BEEN OPENED OR EXPOSED TO THE RAIN. THIS HAS CAUSED MOLD TO GROW ON FLOOR MAT. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE.

I HAVE GOODYEAR FORTERA HL TIRES ON MY ACADIA AND STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEM JUST AT 1 MONTH AFTER I LEASED MY CAR. THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS THAT I ENDED UP WITH A MAJOR FLAT TIRE & IT WAS JUST A BIG HOLE IN THE LARGE TREAD. SINCE THEN THE TIRES NEVER HOLD INFLATION...ALL OF THEM. I HYDROPLANE WHEN TURNING ON ROADS THAT ARE ONLY SLIGHTLY WET AND THE ENTIRE CAR SLIDES SIDEWAYS. I NOW NEED TO REPLACE THESE TIRES AT JUST 30,000 MILES WHEN THE SUPPOSED MILEAGE WARRANTY IS 60K. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT TIRE BUT THE PRODUCTION RECALL ENDED AT JUST TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO WHEN MINE WERE PRODUCED. HOWEVER, MY TIRES ARE DOING THE SAME EXACT THINGS THAT THE RECALLED TIRES DID AND THESE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AS WELL. THE TREADS HAVE CRACKS, SPLITS AND PITS IN THEM JUST AS THE RECALLED TIRES AND HAVE ISSUES WITH PSI/INFLATION AS WELL. THEY ARE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ON AND NEED REPLACED ASAP. *TR

WE HAVE A 2015 GMC ACADIA SLE-2 WITH PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS. WE CAN ONLY SEE ABOUT 50-75 FT. AHEAD WITH LOW BEAMS, THERE IS A DARK LINE AT HOOD LEVEL WHERE THE LIGHT CUTS OF INTO DARKNESS. THE LIGHT BOUNCES UP AND DOWN WHEN DRIVING THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING AND DANGEROUS. IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, I DID NOT SEE A PEDESTRIAN UNTIL HE WAS RIGHT BESIDE ME. THE HIGH BEAMS ARE ABOUT THE SAME AS THE LOW BEAMS IN OUR PREVIOUS VEHICLE (2010 GMC TERRAIN). I CONTACTED OUR DEALER WHO SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL OR TSB REGARDING OUR PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE WILL TRY TO ADJUST THE AIM OF THE HEADLIGHTS. HE STATED HE HAD DONE THIS WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS BUT IT WAS NOT A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM IT MAY ONLY HELP A LITTLE. I SAW SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. WE FEEL THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. WE FEEL SOMEONE SHOULD DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IN A DARK RURAL AREA (WHERE WE LIVE AND DRIVE MOST OFTEN) AND THEY WOULD SEE THE PROBLEM!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE AIR BAG WARNING SENSOR WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED FOR THE THIRD TIME, THE REAR AIR BAGS DEPLOYED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.
