2014 GMC ACADIA Complaints

GAS GAUGE SUDDENLY DROPPED TO "0" WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE YET IT HAD GAS IN IT.

THE FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO E WHEN YOU STILL HAVE APPROX 1/4 TANK OF FUEL. THERE WAS RECALL FOR THIS BUT IT SEEMS IT DOES NOT COVER MY VEHICLE BY VIN.

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.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO MY CAR STARTED LOSING POWER WHEN DRIVING. IT OFTEN HAPPENS WHEN ENTERING OR EXITING THE HIGHWAY. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS YESTERDAY ON THE HIGHWAY OFF RAMP. THE CAR LOSES POWER AND A MESSAGE COMES ON SAYING SERVICE STABILITRAK TRACTION CONTROL OFF ENGINE POWER REDUCED, THE ENGINE IDLES ROUGH AND I CANNOT GET BACK UP TO SPEED. I HAVE TO STOP THE CAR COMPLETELY, TURN IT OFF AND WAIT 20-30 SECONDS THEN TURN IT BACK ON. I HAVE TAKEN THE TWICE TO THE DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM.

ON SATURDAY EVENING AUGUST 3, 2019 MY WIFE, WHO WAS DRIVING OUR 2014 GMC ACADIA, REPORTED TO ME THAT A RED AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT AND THE MESSAGE "SERVICE AIR BAG" CAME ON AND REMAINED ON WHILE DRIVING. ON SUNDAY AUGUST 4, THE WARNING LIGHT AND MESSAGE WENT OFF DURING THE DAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, BUT LATER CAME ON WHEN MY WIFE DROVE THE VEHICLE DURING THE EVENING. ON MONDAY AUGUST 5 WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE ACADIA, BOTH THE WARNING LIGHT AND MESSAGE "SERVICE AIR BAG" CAME ON AND STAYED ON WHILE DRIVING. ON MONDAY AUGUST 5 I DROVE THE ACADIA TO A GM DEALERSHIP AS SOON AS IT OPENED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WERE TWO DIAGNOSIS CODES FOR TWO SEPARATE FAILURES RELATING TO THE AIR BAGS. THE FIRST WAS CODE B0022 (WHICH THE DEALERSHIP SAID WAS RELATED TO A WIRING FAILURE). THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THIS FAILURE CODE OF B0022 WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY PURSUANT TO GM SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT NUMBER 15804. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE SECOND DIAGNOSIS CODE WAS B0058 (WHICH THE DEALERSHIP SAID WAS A FAILED SENSOR). THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS NEEDED TO BE FIXED IN ORDER FOR THE AIRBAGS TO WORK. THE DEALERSHIP SAID, HOWEVER, THAT REPLACEMENT OF THE SENSOR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ADJUSTMENT 15804. THE DEALERSHIP DID OFFER A DISCOUNTED CHARGE FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE FAILED SENSOR AND AS OF THIS WRITING THE VEHICLE REMAINS AT THE DEALERSHIP TO MAKE ALL REPAIRS NECESSARY FOR THE AIR BAGS TO WORK. I HAVE ADVISED THE DEALERSHIP OF MY INTENTION TO REPORT THE SENSOR FAILURE ISSUE TO NTSB SO THAT NTSB AND GM ARE AWARE OF IT. I HAVE ALSO REPORTED THE ABOVE TO GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND AM AWAITING A RETURN CALL FROM A "SENIOR ADVISOR". I HAVE ALSO REQUESTED THAT GM COVER ALL COSTS RELATING TO THE SENSOR FAILURE AS WELL AS THE WIRING FAILURE AS I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT BOTH RELATE TO THE FAILURE OF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM.

MY SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE STABLILITREK COMES ON WHILE I'M DRIVING WHICH IS VERY BECAUSE THE CAR JERKS WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE AT A CERTAIN SPEED. AND WHEN I GO AROUND A CURVE THE STABLILITREK ACTIVE COME ON AND THE CAR MAKES A HUMMING NOISE.
