2014 GMC ACADIA Complaints

"SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER MADE WIRING REPAIR TO A SIR MODULE AND REPLACED A SIR SYSTEM SENSOR FOR APPROXIMATELY $530. IMMEDIATELY AFTER PICKING THE VEHICLE UP FROM THE DEALER THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" CAME ON AGAIN. THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO FIND A "BULLETIN" FROM GMC ADVISING TECHNICIANS TO CORRECT PROBLEM BY SOLDERING SOME ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS. THIS APPEARS TO HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SUBSTANTIAL DESIGN FLAW AND SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR A MISSION CRITICAL SYSTEM WHERE RELIABILITY IS PARAMOUNT. THIS PART DOES NOT ROTATE, IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO ANY UNKNOWN WEAR AND TEAR, THERE ARE NO PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ACTIONS PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT GMC HAS NOT ADEQUATELY ADVISED THEIR DEALERS AND TECHNICIANS THAT THIS DEFICIENCY EXISTS AND WHAT THE PROPER CORRECTIVE ACTIONS IS WITHOUT EXORBITANT COSTS TO THE CONSUMER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM ACTIVATED EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. ALSO, "SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM" ILLUMINATED ON THE MESSAGE CENTER. IN ADDITION, THE TURN SIGNALS DID NOT OPERATE INTERNALLY, ONLY EXTERNALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BEARDMORE CHEVROLET (418 FORT CROOK RD. N, BELLEVUE, NE 68005) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A HARNESS THAT FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE TO QUALIFY FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY UNDER BULLETIN NUMBER: 16-NA-178 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

THE SERVICE AIR BAG SOON LIGHT IS ON AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 74,000 MILES AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR EARLIER MODEL YEAR ACADIAS UP TO 2013 AND IT IS WIDELY REPORTED THAT THE 2014S HAVE THE SAME ISSUE; THAT THE CONNECTOR HAS TO BE RESOLDERED FOR THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE TO GMC AND THEY ARE CHARGING APPROXIMATELY $400 TO FIX A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE. NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PAY $400 TO GET THIS FIXED BECAUSE IT IS NOT AN INCLUDED RECALL ON THE 2014S AND I DON'T WANT MY WIFE DRIVING A CAR WITHOUT AIRBAGS.

I'M GETTING SERVICE AIR BAGS ON MY 2014 GMC ACADIA. THERE WAS A RECALL ON AIRBAGS PREVIOUSLY FOR THIS VEHICLE FROM 2009-2013 BUT NOT THIS MODEL. I'VE READ ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ON THE AIRBAGS FAILING AND THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THIS CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS OR FLOOD DAMAGE. THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON WHY I SHOULD BE GETTING SERVICE AIR BAG MESSAGE

THE AIRBAG SERVICE WARNING CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. PLEASE ASSIST ASAP, WE DRIVE OUR CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE.

A/C STOPPED WORKING DUE TO THE REAR EVAPORATOR LEAKING CAUSED BY AN INTERNAL PART BLOWING OUT BRUSH DUST CONTAINING COPPER PARTICLES WHICH CORRODED THE EVAPORATOR, WHICH CAUSED A LEAK.

I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 67000 MILE ON MY CAR AND TODAY THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON OFF AND ON I WILL PUT FUEL AND AND THE GAUGE STILL READS EMPTY OR HALF TANK TAKES RESTARTING CAR MANY TIMES BEFORE READS ACCURATELY ALSO PASSENGER SEAT BELT ALARM WILL GO OFF WHEN NO ONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT

ON ONE, APPROXIMATELY 200-MILE TRIP LAST YEAR, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN OUR ACADIA COMPLETELY WENT OUT (INCLUDING ALL GUAGES, TURN SIGNALS, ETC.) THREE SEPARATE TIMES. WE WERE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE ROADWAYS, AND THE VEHICLE COULD STILL BE DRIVEN. THE SYSTEM REBOOTED EACH TIME AFTER A FEW MINUTES. ULTIMATELY, MY WIFE ENDED UP STRANDED AS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START DUE TO ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE AFTER SHE HAD PARKED IT DURING A SEPARATE TRIP. OUR GM DEALERSHIP INFORMED US THAT THE REAR OBJECT DETECTION MODULES HAD CORRODED, AND THAT "EVERYONE HAS THIS PROBLEM." THE CORROSION CAUSED A CASCADE FAILURE OR THE ENTIRE SYSTEM, WHICH IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD. GM REPLACES THESE MODULES WITH NON-CORRODING ONES NOW, AFTER WE PAID $992.52 TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. I CONTACTED AUTUMN AT GM CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND SHE SAID THAT THERE IS NOW SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT BEGAN ON 4/2/19. HOWEVER, OUR VEHICLE IS OVER THE 80,000-MILE WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM.

SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT FEATURE IS NOT WORKING. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE DUE TO EITHER DEFECTIVE SENSORS OR MODULE. ESTIMATED COST TO REPAIR IS OVER $800.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED TO START AND SEVERAL MESSAGES ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, INCLUDING THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED WARNING INDICATORS.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 59,000.
