2010 GMC ACADIA Complaints

THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ON THE 2010, WHICH IS THE SAME ISSUE GMC HAD WITH THE 2009S, HOWEVER, THE 2010 ISN'T COVERED, BUT THE 2009 WAS. I'VE READ THAT GMC KNOWS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE, BUT THEY JUST AREN'T COVERING IT YET.

TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO BE REPLACES AND ISN'T COVERED ALTHOUGH IT'S THE SAME PARTS AS THE 2009 MODEL THAT IS COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. GMC IS AWARE OF THIS ONGOING ISSUE AND SHOULD COVER IT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BENTLEY CHEVROLET (1950 FLORENCE BLVD, FLORENCE, AL) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT IT NEEDED A NEW BATTERY AND WIRING. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AGAIN, BUT THE FAILURE STILL RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND THEY WERE NOTIFIED BY THE DEALER THAT THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000. *TT

SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH POWER STEERING. APPARENTLY THE DRIVESHAFT IS BROKEN AN IT MAKES THE CAR ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. I HAVE TO USE BOTH HANDS/ARMS AND ALL OF MY STRENGTH TO TURN THE CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND GMC HAS ALREADY RECALLED MANY OF THEIR VEHICLES FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. ACADIAS NEED TO BE ADDED TO THAT LIST.

HAVE TO REPLACE LOW BEAM LIGHTS EVERY 3-4 MONTHS. LIGHTS BURN OUT. HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE BRANDS ALL FROM ADVANCED AUTO PARTS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 4 YEARS.

POWER STEERING GETS HARD TO STEER WHILE TURNING, PULLING IN TO PARKING SPACES, GOING AROUND CURVES. BEING TOLD I HAVE TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION AND THEN GM WILL REPLACE THE PUMP. MIDDLE ROW MIDDLE SEATBELT IS LOCKED WON'T PULL OUT. HAD TO REPLACE ALL FRONT SUSPENSION. THIS VEHICLE IS POORLY MADE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC ACADIA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERGOING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, THE DEALER (WALKER AUTOMOTIVE, 1616 MACARTHUR DRIVE, ALEXANDRIA, LA) INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ABOUT TO DETACH FROM THE VEHICLE DUE TO A LOOSE SCREW. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

AFTER TAKING VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND PAYING TO HAVE THE EVAP SYSTEM FIXED MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON BEFORE EVER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP. NO CODES WOULD SHOW WHEN CHECKED. NOW THEY ARE SAYING THAT IT MUST BE THE TIMING CHAIN AND THAT IT WILL COST OVER $2000 TO REPAIR. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL OTHER MECHANICS WHO HAVE STATED THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL CAR. AFTER CHECKING IT SEEMS THAT SEVERAL OTHER YEARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND NO CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE PRODUCT BUT YET THE 2010 IS NOT INCLUDED BUT IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THAT YEAR AS WELL. I BELIEVE GMC SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX THIS SINCE IT IS A KNOW DEFECTIVE SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC ACADIA. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND VIBRATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTROL ARM AND STRUTS FAILED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

MY HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2010 GMC ACADIA GO OUT NUMEROUS TIMES A YEAR. TYPICALLY ONE HEADLIGHT WILL BURN OUT AND A FEW DAYS LATER THE OTHER HEADLIGHT BURNS OUT. WE REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT USUALLY BUT THIS TIME WE WENT TO REPLACE THE BUILD AND THE NEW BULB WOULDN'T WORK. THIS IS GETTING EXTREMELY COSTLY TO REPLACE HE BULBS A FEW TIMES A YEAR AND. IS WE MIGHT HAVE AN EVEN BIGGER PROBLEM WITH THE NEW BULB NOT WORKING AT ALL. WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS STOP WORKING SOMETIMES THEY WILL COME BACK ON THEN GO OFF AGAIN THEN COME BACK ON AND THEN EVENTUALLY BURN THE BULB. TYPICALLY ALL THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS JUST STARTED.. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND WE'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT. IT'S IN HE SHOP GETRJFN FIXED A FEW TIMES A YEAR.
