2010 GMC ACADIA Complaints

WHEN OPEN HATCH THE HATCH AUTOMATICALLY STARTS CLOSING AND THEN IT FALLS TO CLOSED POSITION.VEHICLE IS ALWAYS STATIONARY

I OWN A 2010 GMC ACADIA... I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE LOW BEAMS ON BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE NUMEROUS TIMES!!!!!!!! I'M A SINGLE MOTHER OF 3... NOT ONLY IS IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR YOUR HEADLIGHTS TO GO OUT AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT(ESPECIALLY WHEN MY CHILDREN ARE IN THE VEHICLE... NOT TO MENTION OTHER MOTORISTS CHILDREN) BUT ITS ALSO COSTLY!!!!! THIS ALL STARTED BACK IN AUG 2018... THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS!!! I'VE DONE MY DUES... WORKED HARD TO PAY MY VEHICLE OFF...ALL I WANTED WAS A GOOD AND RELIABLE VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY... AND IT'S FAR FROM SAFE!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT RESTRAINT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V266000 (SEAT BELTS). THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT WILCOXSON CADILLAC BUICK OF PUEBLO (902 N SANTA FE AVE, PUEBLO, CO 81003, (719) 544-4423); HOWEVER, THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE SEAT BEAT RESTRAINT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

I OWN A 2010 GMC ACADIA. THE CODE THAT WAS BEING THROWN WAS P0008. I HAD TO HAVE THE CHAINS AND ACTUATORS REPLACED IN THE ENGINE. AFTER PAYING FOR THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON AGAIN, SO THE VEHICLE IS BACK AT THE SHOP AGAIN. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT FOR 2007-2012 HOWEVER, THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IS ONLY FOR 2007-2009. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT GMC NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF. SEEMS TO ME THAT THE LEMON LAW MAY APPLY AS I AM SEEING MORE AND MORE PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. MAYBE WE SHOULD CONTACT AN ATTORNEY TO GET GMC TO TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE.

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED IT. UNFORTUNATELY, MY STATE DOES NOT HAVE A LEMON LAW FOR USED VEHICLES SO I HAVE BEEN STUCK WITH REPAIR AFTER REPAIR. #1 THE BATTERY. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2016 AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY TWICE ALREADY. THIS VEHICLE HAS KILLED CELLS IN MULTIPLE BATTERIES. #2 THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN I INITIALLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY IT WOULD NOT SMOOTHLY SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT OF COURSE THE ISSUE WOULD REPLICATE DURING THEIR TEST DRIVE SO THEY COULDN'T DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE TRUCK WILL NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY, BUT THE PROBLEM NORMALLY CORRECTS IF YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE TRUCK WILL NOT SHIFT GEARS. THIS IS PROBLEMATIC WHEN YOU HAVE A TODDLER IN THE VEHICLE AND NEED TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT IN TO 3RD GEAR, THEN YOU HAVE TO TRY TO SAFELY FIND A SHOULDER AND HOPE THAT TURNING OFF/TURNING ON THE VEHICLE WILL FIX THE ISSUE. SOMETIMES IT'S A 1X FIX; OTHER TIMES THE VEHICLE HAS TO THE RESTARTED 3X TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL CHANGE GEARS CORRECTLY. DIAGNOSIS FROM 1 MECHANIC, SOMETHING IS STICKING IN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED #3 TIMING CHAIN. THIS IS THE MOST RECENT ISSUE. IT BEGAN WITH AN ONSET OF A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND MULTIPLE CODES ABOUT A CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, O2 SENSORS, ETC. ORIGINALLY THE MECHANIC WAS GOING TO REPLACE THE SENSORS, BUT INSISTS ON REPLACING THE TIMING CHAIN ASSEMBLY BASED ON THE INFORMATION DISCOVERED ABOUT VEHICLES USING THE SAME PARTS AND RECALLS IT'S UNFORTUNATE TO DISCOVER THAT THIS VEHICLE HASN'T HAD A RECALL ISSUED FOR ANY OF THESE ISSUES KNOWING THAT THEY POSE SAFETY RISKS FOR DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN AND THE ELDERLY.

AFTER I PULL INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TURN OFF THE IGNITION THE CAR GETS STUCK IN PARK AND WONT SHIFT BACK OUT FOR HOURS. ALSO WHEN I'M DRIVING THE CAR STATES THAT THE ENGINE IS IN REDUCED POWER AND THE TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF AND TO SERVICE STABILITRAK. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE OF ALL YEARS FROM 2007 TO THE PRESENT IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED 6 DEATHS SO FAR AND STILL NO RECALL TO FIX MY CAR I DONT WANT TO END UP BEING ANOTHER DEATH IF YOU DONT FIX THIS ISSUE

BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON. HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WHICH WAS TOLD JUST LOW ON BRAKE FLUID. FILLED AND CONTINUED TO COME ON AND WAS TOLD CAUSES THE STABILITY TRACK LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. LOOKED IT UP ONLINE THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINT. WHERE DOES THIS SITUATION STAND.

OWNED THE CAR FOR ABOUT A YEAR WITH A 5 YEAR, $20,000 LOAN ATTACHED TO IT. THE CAR RANDOMLY STARTED SMOKING AND ALL KINDS OF WARNING LIGHTS WENT OFF ON THE WAY BACK FROM THE STORE (ABOUT A MILE AWAY). I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND WALKED HOME, WENT BACK AFTER A COUPLE HOURS TO LET IT COOL DOWN AND IT WOULDN'T START. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND IT WAS DEEMED MY CAR WITH AROUND 80,000 MILES ON IT HAD A BLOWN ENGINE DUE TO SOMETHING WITH BELT (SAME ISSUE 2009 MODEL WAS RECALLED FOR) AND IT WAS GOING TO COST OUT OF MY OWN POCKET $7500 TO REPLACE IT WITH A USED ENGINE WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT THE REPLACEMENT ENGINE WON'T HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. IN THE 3 WEEKS IT TOOK US TO DECIDE ON IF IT WAS EVEN POSSIBLY TO COME UP WITH THAT MUCH MONEY, ENGINE PRICES HAD ROSE ANOTHER $500 BECAUSE THEY ARE IN SUCH HOT DEMAND. ENDED UP HAVING TO LET THE BANK REPO IT, RUINING MY CREDIT, NO VEHICLE TO TAKE MY NEWBORN TWINS TO THEIR DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS, OR ANYWAY TO GET TO WORK. GMC NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR NOT PROMPTLY RESPONDING TO THIS DEFECT INSTEAD OF TURNING A BLIND EYE. I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE DAY A CLASS ACTION SUIT IS FILED.

TRUCK WONT CRANK! NEW BATTERY, STARTER & ALTERNATER PASSED. BOOSTED IT OFF CRANKED STRAIGHT UP, PARKED FOR A HOUR, WOULDN'T CRANK AGAIN. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT.
