2012 GMC ACADIA Complaints

AIR BAG SENSOR WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, CARRIED IT TO FOWLER BUICK GMC IN AUGUST, 2015, SYSTEM WAS RESET. 2 WEEKS LATER, LIGHT CAME BACK ON, WENT BACK TO DEALER, HAD AIR BAG SENSORS REPLACED IN DRIVERS SEAT AND PASSENGER SEAT, WHICH COST $1310.00. 2 WEEKS LATER WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF SEVERAL TIMES WHEN DRIVING. DEALER SERVICE CANNOT FIND CAUSE BUT INFORMS ME TO THAT AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN WARNING LIGHT IS ON. 2012 ACADIA HAS 81,000 MILES ON VEHICLE AND I DO NOT WANT TO TRADE AGAIN. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT OPTIONS I HAVE SINCE THERE APPEARS TO BE NOR CALL FOR THIS PROBLEM

6/18/15 LIFTGATE CAME CRASHING DOWN ON MY HEAD SO THE STRUTS WERE REPLACED AT DEALERSHIP FOR 116.72 PLUS TAX. THERE IS A RECALL #15240 FOR THIS REPAIR. BUT MY CAR WAS BUILT ON 3/8/2012 WHICH IS 9 DAYS AFTER THE RECALL DATES YOU SUBMITTED. THIS DATE NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED. MORE INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO THIS AND OBVIOUSLY MY CAR IN WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF THIS RECALL. ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET HIT SO HARD IN THE HEAD AND BE KILLED. I WOULD HOPE NOT. ON DEC 12, 2014 SECONDLY THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT AT 46000 MILES THE STEERING PUMP WENT OUT DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO KEEP THE RECEIPT THAT THEY ARE SEEING MORE OF THIS TYPE OF REPAIR. THIS REPAIR COST ME 2000.00. CAN THIS BE LOOKED INTO ALSO. NO STEERING PUMP SHOULD GO OUT WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. WHILE STEERING YOU COULD HEAR A WHINING NOISE.

1. THE POWER LIFT GATE ON MY VEHICLE FAILED ON 7/23/15. WHEN IT OPENED, IT WENT ALL OF THE WAY UP AUTOMATICALLY AND THEN CAME CRASHING BACK DOWN AND NEARLY HIT ME IN THE HEAD. 2. THE FAILURE FROM THAT POINT ON HAPPENS EACH AND EVERY TIME SO I HAD TO TURN THE FEATURE OFF. 3. I CONTACTED BOTH GM DIRECTLY AND SPOKE TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TWICE (HARE CHEVROLET IN NOBLESVILLE, IN) AND BOTH TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ITEM BUT NO SOLUTION AND SUBSEQUENTLY NO PARTS HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED TO CORRECT PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD FIX IT OUT OF MY OWN POCKET (WITH THE SAME SUSPECTED FAULTY PARTS) BUT THERE WAS NO GUARANTEE I WOULD BE REIMBURSED AS A RESULT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE MY POWER LIFT GATE IN FOUR MONTHS NOW. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN AUGUST WITH NO UPDATES IN THREE MONTHS. I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 10/31/15 AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO UPDATE ON THIS RECALL.
