WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS IF YOU TAP THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WON'T DEPRESS AND THE TRUCK WILL KEEP ROLLING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I'M TRYING TO PARK USUALLY. I WAS BACKING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND IT DIDN'T STOP AFTER TAPING THE BRAKE PEDAL 3 TIMES. I HIT THE TELEPHONE POLE WITH REAR BUMPER WHICH BENT THE BODY OF THE LEFT REAR FENDER ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE TAILGATE TO NOT OPEN. MY GMC DEALER REPLACED THE FAULTY BOOSTER PUMP FOR $1029.35 AND I HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR 2 DAYS.

I REMOTE STARTED MY CAR AND WHEN I GOT NEAR MY CAR I COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING AND I OPENED THE DOOR AND SAW SMOKE COMING UP THROUGH THE DRIVERS SEAT. BURNED A HOLE ABOUT THE SIZE OF A DIME.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN APRIL 2017, BUT A FEW MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I STARTED HAVING A LIGHT ON IN THE DASH SAYING "SERVICE AIR BAG". I'VE TRIED IGNORING IT & HOPING THAT THERE WOULD EVENTUALLY BE A RECALL BECAUSE THE VEHICLE NO LONGER HAD A WARRANTY, BUT WE ARE ABOUT TO TAKE IT IN TO GET IT SERVICED. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET I AM FINDING THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH ACADIAS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE & HAVE HAD TO TAKE THEIR VEHICLE & PAY TO GET IT SERVICED. I'VE ALSO READ WHERE THERE WERE SOME ACCIDENTS WHERE THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT MANY GMC MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE, BUT IT WAS FOR YEAR MODELS PREVIOUS TO MINE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE YEAR BEFORE MINE). I HAVE A FRIEND WHO HAS THE CHEVROLET TRAVERSE (WHICH IS THE EXACT SAME VEHICLE AS MINE, JUST WITH THE CHEVROLET NAME) & SHE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT I'M HAVING. IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? PLEASE RESEARCH THIS. IT IS NOT COINCIDENCE THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM! THIS LIGHT COMES ON AT ALL TIMES AS SOON AS YOU TURN ON THE CAR. I HAVE READ WHERE SOME HAVE HAD FAULTY WIRING UNDER THE SEAT THAT HAD TO BE RE-SOLDERED.

SEVERELY CRACKED DASH. CRACKED IN 5 PLACES. WORRIED WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF PASSENGER AIRBAG IS EVER DEPLOYED.

TWICE THE STEERING IN SIERRA HAS LOCKED UP WHILE TURNING. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TAKING A CURVE TO THE RIGHT, AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO CURVE RIGHT. IT WOULD STILL ALLOW ME TO TURN LEFT. AFTER COMING TO A STOP AND PARKING THE TRUCK, THE ISSUES RESOLVED ITSELF. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE HAPPENED AS I WAS TAKING A LEFT TURN. I HAD COMPLETED THE LEFT TURN, AND AS THE WHEEL WAS RETURNING TO THE CENTER(TURNING BACK TO THE RIGHT), THE WHEEL LOCKED. I WAS FORCED INTO THE NEXT LANE AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I HAD TO USE A LOT OF STRENGTH, AND I EVENTUALLY FORCED IT. WHEN IT BROKE FREE, IT MADE A LOUD POP SOUND. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE TRUCK.

TURN SIGNAL FAILURE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. CAUSE BY CONDENSATION IN THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY. COST $1300 TO REPLACE AND GET A NEW TURN SIGNAL. A TURN SIGNAL IS $5, BUT THEN INTEGRATED LEDS COST $1300 BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 2500. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, INCLUDING THE STABILITRAC WARNING INDICATOR. ALSO WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING WOULD SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. FURTHERMORE, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF MOMENTARILY AND RESTARTED. KEY BUICK GMC (4660 SOUTHSIDE BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32216) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

THE PAINT ON MY 2015 GMC SIERRA IS BUBBLING AND PEELING. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS A CONSISTENT DEFECT ON MY YEAR VEHICLE. I CONTACTED GMC AND MY DEALER THORSON GMC IN PASADENA CALIFORNIA. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THORSON GMC DON SCHWARTZ HAD HIS BODY SHOP LOOK AT THE PAINT ON MY TRUCK AND HIS RESPONSE TO ME WAS THAT THE PAINT ON THE CHIPPING AREAS ON MY TRUCK, BOTH REAR DOORS AND THE ROOF, WAS EXTREMELY THIN AND THAT HE WOULD TRY TO GET GMC TO REPAINT MY DOORS AND ROOF AT THEIR EXPENSE. TWO WEEKS LATER MR. SCHWARTZ CALLS ME BACK AND TELLS ME THAT GMC IS ONLY WILLING TO PAY 40% OF A $5000 PAINT REPAIR AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $3140 IF I WANTED MY CHIPS REPAIRED. I FEEL THAT THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE TO PAY FOR AN OBVIOUS FACTORY DEFECT. ADDITIONALLY I REALLY FEEL FOR THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FACING THE SAME PROBLEM BECAUSE GM DIDN'T PAINT THEIR VEHICLES CORRECTLY
