2009 GMC ACADIA Complaints

TRANSMISSION ENGINE SEAT BELTS HEADLIGHTS NOT EVEN A MONTH INTO PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IT STOPPED AS I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY.

I WAS DRIVING HOME WHEN MY GMC ACADIA STARTED TO SMOKE SO I PULLED OVER AND IT CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE WHOLE THING BURNT.

SLIGHT PULSE LEFT THEN PULSE RIGHT ACTUALLY MOVES STEERING WHEEL BUT VEHICLE STAYS ON TRACK - UNLESS DRIVER IS UNAWARE - BUT DRIVE BECOMES AWARE BECAUSE IT'S A MOVEMENT ON A SMOOTH ROAD THEM IS ALARMING - THEN IT'S ALWAYS NOTICED

CONVERTERS CONTINUE TO GO OUT. I'VE REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES THEN WITH IN A FEW MONTHS SAME CODES PULL AGAIN. THEY REPLACE IT AGAIN. NOW THEY REFUSE TO GIVE ME ANY WARRANTY ON THEM SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED SO MANY TIMES IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. THERE'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING ELSE CAUSE THE SAME CODES TO PULL BUT GMC SHOP KEEPS SAYING SAME THING. *TR

THERE WAS A RECALL AT ONE TIME FOR THE TRANSMISSION LINKAGE ABOUT IT POPPING OFF, I AM NOW HAVING IT POP OFF I HAVE NO CLUE HOW LONG IT BEEN THIS WAY SEEING AS IT GOES TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY NEVER SAID ANYTHING BUT IT HAD BEEN THAT WAY FOR A WHILE YOU CAN JUST LIFT IT OFF. HEAD LIGHTS GO OUT ALMOST EVERY 6 MONTHS ON THE DOT! I HAVE BEEN CAUGHT TWICE WITH NO LOW BEAMS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE AIR BAGS WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AT START-UP AND REMAINED ILLUMINATED CONSTANTLY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V118000 (AIR BAGS). TOTH BUICK-GMC (3300 S ARLINGTON RD, AKRON, OH 44312, (330) 644-3400) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

THE LIGHTING HOUSING IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE TYPE OF HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE THEY OVER HEAT IT AND CAUSE THE RUNNING LIGHTS TO MELT THE HOUSING AND CAUSE THE BULBS GO STICK TO IT AND THEN YOUR HEADLIGHTS DON'T WORK . THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW FLUCTUATES BETWEEN WORKING AND NOT WORKING IT'S INTERMITTENT. THIS IS A SET UP IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR MORE THEN JUST ME AND I CAN'T GIVE YOU EXACT DATES BUT IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR A LONG TIME. I'VE WRITTEN TO GMC AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO RECTIFY ANY OF THESE ISSUES.*DT*JB

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN LOOKED OVER BY MANY MECHANICAL PROFESSIONALS. AT SLOW RATES OF SPEED, INTERMITTENTLY THE STEERING WILL STIFFEN AND LOCK UP MAKING IT VERY SCARY WHEN DRIVING. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD OVER AND OVER THAT RACK N PINION AND PUMP ARE FINE. AFTER RESEARCHING, THIS LOOKS LIKE A TYPICAL ISSUE. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT GM CAN DO FOR THIS?

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND ENGINE LOST POWER DURING RUSH HOUR COMING HOME. LOST AT LEAST 50% POWER, VERY LITTLE ACCELERATION AND QUITE THE CHALLENGE TO MERGE OVER 4 LANES TO GET TO THE SHOLDER OF THE HIGHWAY. CODE WAS CHECKED AND CODE WAS FOR TIMING. MECHANIC PULLED TIMING CHAIN COVER AND FOUND THAT IT WAS STRETCHED. HE TOLD ME THE 3.6 ENGINE WAS WELL KNOWN FOR THIS. TWO FREAKING MONTHS AFTER WE PAID IT OFF. WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER ACADIA AND WILL STAY AWAY FROM ENCAVE AND TRAVERSE AS WELL AS THEY HAVE SAME ENGINE IN MANY. VERY DISCOURAGED THEY WOULD KNOWINGLY ALLOW THIS ISSUE TO GO ON WITHOUT BEING ADDRESSED.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE MAIN HIGHWAY GOING 35MPH AND ANOTHER VEHICLE PULLED OUT I FRONT OF ME CAUSING ME TO HIT HER WITH MY FRONT END. MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED BUT MY SERVICE AIRBAGS LIGHT IS ON AS WELL AS THE MESSAGE ON MY BOARD.
