2012 GMC ACADIA Complaints

We have had this recall fixed TWICE but it still reflects in the NHTSA database as an open recall. The first time we had this fixed was in 2017. We had it fixed again on May 19, 2023 and yet it STILL reflects as open in NHTSA. I am active duty military and require proof of clean vehicle recall history to ship this vehicle to Hawaii as part of a permanent change of station move. Please assist ASAP with clearing this recall requirement.

I was driving 40 mph, when warnings appeared on my dash. "Service Stabalizor control", "Traction control turned off", "power is reduced", and the check engine light came on. I lost power as if engine quit, no acceration, but then came back intermittent. If I had been on a highway going 65 mph, in heavy traffic, there may have been an accident. Power steering remained on. I took to an auto service business, and they were unable to find the problem. Code indicated a fuel pressure problem.

We just purchased this 2012 gmc acadia about 30 days ago and every day we drive it we have this issue.. from a complete stop when pressing the gas the truck feels like it has no power starting to go until the rpm’s each maybe 4500 then the truck will jerk and studder through the intersections. i feel like we are going to be in a MAJOR accident while proceeding through intersections. the dealer states there is nothing they can do. there is absolutely something wrong when it jerks and stutters to move

The headlights in this make and model go out frequently. I've owned my vehicle for 2 years and have put 5 headlights in it.

Every single GMC I have ever ran into there is an Acadia, the air conditioner never works. Maybe you guys should reconsider the assembly of your air-conditioning It’s exhausting spending money having air for all of five minutes and then it’s right back to the heat.
