2014 GMC ACADIA Complaints

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FOR A COUPLE WEEKS. AS OF 4 DAYS AGO IT HAS BEEN ON AND STAYED ON. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE SENSOR IN THE SEAT AND FROM RESEARCH IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE

CAR WAS BANGING INTO SECOND GEAR PERIODICALLY SINCE THE DAY WE GOT IT AS A CPO ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NORMAL. FAST FORWARD TO LAST WEEK WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR WAS BUCKING AND SLAMMING INTO GEARS AND STALLING OUT AT LIGHTS. WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE CAR NEEDED A TRANSMISSION AND IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. GM CORPORATE DID NOTHING TO HELP WITH THE COST AND NOW I'M ON THE HOOK FOR A $6,000 BILL. PLUS I HAVE TO FIND A RENTAL CAR TO WAIT FOR THE BACK ORDERED TRANSMISSION TO ARRIVE BECAUSE OF THE STRIKE. NEVER AGAIN GM

THE STEERING TWO DAYS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT WAS REALLY TIGHT AND HARD TO STEER AS IS THERE WERE NO POWER STEERING THE VEHICLE TWO DAYS LATER BROKE DOWN ON THE INTERSTATE I WENT FROM 70MPH TO 30MPH WITHIN SECONDS WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED THE SEAT BELT JERKED MY SHOULDER IT JERKED SO HARD WHEN THE ENGINE REDUCED POWER DUE TO WHAT THE MESSAGE ON THE DASH SAID WAS A TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM FAILURE I SPENT 1600 GETTING THE POWER STEERING PUMP, WATER PUMP AND WHAT THEY SAID WAS A LOOSE WIRE CAUSING TH TRACTION CONTROL PROBLEM FIXED JUST FOR THE CAR TO BREAK DOWN AGAIN WITH THE SAME TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM FAILURE MESSAGE THE CAR SLOWED DOWN SO QUICKLY I HIT THE STEERING WHEEL WITH MY SEAT BELT ON AND THE BREAKS WERE VERY HARD TO PUSH I HAD TO CRAWL TO A STOP ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED AGAIN AND NO STEERING THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE THERE SHOULD BE A LAW SUIT

STARTED THE CAR ON A RAINY DAY AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND A MESSAGE DISPLAYED "SERVICE AIR BAG". I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND THE MESSAGE AND AIRBAG LIGHT STAYED ON. I HAVE SEARCHED SEVERAL FORMS WHERE SEVERAL CONSUMERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE.

THE GEARS SOMETIMES DOES A HARD PUSH WHEN CHANGING GEARS AUTOMATICALLY. THE DASHBOARD LIGHT KEEPS TURNING OFF AND DRIVER CAN NOT SEE THE SPEEDOMOTOR ETC.

MY "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT AND WARNING CAME ON AND WE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO STATED IT IS THE WIRING UNDER MY DRIVERS SEAT CAUSING THE WARNING LIGHT. THE LIGHT FIRST CAME ON A FEW DAYS AGO WHEN I TURNED MY CAR ON AND WE HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THE LIGHT WILL GO ON AND OFF IF I MOVE MY DRIVERS SEAT FORWARD AND BACK, BUT THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX AS THE WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON IN THE SEAT POSITION I NEED TO KEEP IT IN FOR DRIVING. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALLED 2008-2013 GMC ACADIA. MINE IS A 2014 AND NOT A PART OF THE OFFICIAL RECALL, BUT CLEARLY THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED AT THE EXPENSE OF GM.

SERVICE AIG BAG LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED. FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE, WHEN THIS OCCURS, IT DISABLES THE AIRBAGS FROM FUNCTIONING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN AN IMPACT COLLISION. IT APPEARS THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON GMC ACADIAS FOR THIS ISSUE THROUGH THE 2013 MODEL. THIS IS AN ON-GOING ISSUE WITH THE ACADIA THAT RESULTS IN A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING SAFETY FEATURE NOT WORKING.

IN ORDER TO STOP MY VEHICLE I'M HAVING TO APPLY A LOT OF PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN I'M DRIVING IT SOUNDS LIKE THE BRAKES ATTEMPT TO ENGAGE ON THEIR OWN AND MAKE A SCRUBBING SOUND.

VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS ABRUPTLY STOPPED WORKING. HEADLIGHTS ARE IN AUTO RUNNING LIGHTS POSITION, BUT WILL NOT TURN ON. NO HEADLIGHTS AVAILABLE, ONLY OPTION TO USE IS FOG LIGHTS. THIS OCCURRED AFTER 9 PM ON A HIGHWAY, CREATING A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. VEHICLE BROUGHT TO 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS SHOPS AND NO PROBLEMS WITH HEADLIGHTS WERE DETECTED, NO PROBLEMS WITH FUSES, COMPUTER OR BATTERY DETECTED, NO LAMPS NEEDED REPLACEMENT. TWO MONTHS LATER NO SOLUTION FOUND. THE VEHICLE IS NOT OPERATIONAL DURING POOR WEATHER OR AFTER DARK.

THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF 2014 ACADIA OWNERS HAVING A SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COME ON AND WONT GO OFF. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR ALL ACADIA'S OF 2013 AND EARLIER THAT HAD A RECALL TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE. 2014 NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND POSSIBLE DEATH UPON IMPACT ISSUE IF AIRBAG DOESNT GO OFF DUE TO GMC'S NEGLIGENCE IN DEALING WITH THE SAME ISSUE PREVIOUS MODELS HAD. GMC COULD FACE LAWSUITS IF SOMEONE IS KILLED DUE TO THIS ISSUE ON THIS YEAR ACADIA. ITS APPROX $500 TO FIX AND IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM ACROSS MANY OWNED ACADIAS. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR HAD THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THIS NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH IMMEDIATELY.
