2010 GMC ACADIA Complaints

MY CAR POWER STEERING IS LOCKING UP. WHILE DRIVE GETTING READY TO TURN THE WHEEL LOCKS UP. NOT ONLY ME BUT MANY OTHER HAS REPORTED THIS SAME ISSUE AND HAS EVEN OCCURED IN ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS. GM HAS NOT RECALLED THIS SUV DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND I AM VERY DISPLEASED BECAUSE ITS A KNOWN ISSUE. *TR

THE POWER STEERING WHEN TURNING A CORNER GOES OUT, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT SPEED YOU ARE GOING. THIS IS ELECTRIC POWER STEERING AND I BELIEVE THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS DUE TO THE POTENTIAL HAZARD AND POSSIBLE DEATH ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DEFECT. *TR

WHEN PULLING INTO PARKING LOT AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER STEERING AND WILL NOT TURN ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHEN TURNING WHEN IT LOSES POWER STEERING. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE AND NEEDS A RECALL. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW ACADIA IN 2010 , I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT END SINCE IT WAS NEW IT HAS GONE BACK TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES FOR FRONT END NOISES AND NOT HANDLING PROPERLY , I DID BRING IT TO THE DEALER COMPLAINING THAT THE CAR WAS NOT STEERING PROPERLY THEY DID DO SOMETHING TO REPAIR IT BUT NOW THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE STEERING RACK IS LEAKING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER 1800.00. IT IS NOTED IF YOU LOOK INTO IT THAT THIS FRONT END AND STEERING PROBLEM IS WIDE SPREAD , THEIR ARE CASES OF PEOPLE SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON REPAIRS BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY LOOSING POWER STEERING AND COULD HARDLY CONTROL THE CAR . I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IT TAKES FOR YOU TO ISSUE A RECALL ?? PEOPLE BEING IN ACCIDENTS OR INJURED ? THIS IS WELL DOCUMENTED WITH OTHER OWNERS AND WITH TODAY'S TECHNOLOGY I AM SURE YOU CAN LOOK INTO GMC'S REPAIR AND COMPLAINT RECORDS AND YOU WILL SEE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. *TR

POWER STEERING FAILURE. IT IS INTERMITTENT. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. GM KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE ACADIA IS IN THE SHOP TO BE FIXED. NHTSA MUST INVESTIGATE. *TR

VEHICLE BECOMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER AT LOW SPEEDS. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. BECOMING MORE FREQUENT AND OCCURRING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY WHEN STOPPED AND ATTEMPTING TO TURN OUT INTO TRAFFIC. *TR

AT LOW SPEEDS POWER STEERING QUITS? EXTREMELY DANGEROUS MY WIFE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. *JS

I STARTED EXPERIENCED STEERING PROBLEMS WITH MY ACADIA WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY OR WHEN PARKING. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD START TO BIND AND TURNING BECAME VERY STIFF. I CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID AND IT WAS LOW SO I ADDED FLUID. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. NOW IT HAS BECOME EVEN WORSE AND OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY (I.E. WHEN I AM MAKING A SHARP TURN AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, PARKING, AND AT LOW SPEEDS ON ANY SHARP CURVE IN THE ROAD). I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED GMC DEALER AND HAD IT EVALUATED AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS "A GEAR GOING BAD IN THE POWER STEERING PUMP" AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MY VEHICLE IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. I DIDN'T EXPECT A PROBLEM LIKE THIS IN MY VEHICLE. I AM TRYING TO GET THE PUMP REPLACED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE BEFORE I HAVE A WRECK BECAUSE OF THE STEERING ISSUES. *TR

THE GMC ACADIA HAS RECENTLY HAD A RECALL FOR A PIECE WITHIN THE SEAT FOR AIR BAGS. HOWEVER THERE IS ANOTHER PIECE CALLED THE PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE (PART #20933923) WITHIN THE SAME SEAT THAT IS ALSO DEFECTIVE BUT NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL. THIS PIECE BASICALLY DETERMINES IF SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT AND IF THE AIRBAGS NEED TO BE DEPLOYED IF IN AN ACCIDENT. IF THIS PIECE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY THE PERSON SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT MAY BE AT RISK. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT NOR HAVE THE AIRBAGS EVER BEEN DEPLOYED. *TR

WHILE TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION AT A RELATIVELY SLOW SPEED, THE POWER STEERING FAILED MOMENTARILY (APPROXIMATELY 3 SECONDS) MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SMOOTHLY CORRECT THE TURN. FORTUNATELY, POWER STEERING RESUMED AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE SAME DAY WHILE TURNING INTO A DRIVEWAY. I PROMPTLY RETURNED THE CAR TO OUR GMC SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE A POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK WAS DISCOVERED IN THE POWER STEERING GEARBOX. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. GIVEN YOUR HISTORY OF THE SAME PROBLEM, IT IS NOT UNDERSTOOD WHY THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE. *TR
