GMC Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HENDRICK BUICK GMC CARY (115 TEAM HENDRICK WAY, CARY, NC 27511, (919) 234-7784) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING BELT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,366.

REAR TAIL LIGHT / BRAKE LIGHT QUIT WORKING WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS DENIED COVERED. THE UNIT IS A COMPLETE LED ASSEMBLY AND CANNOT BE REPAIRED. THE PRICE QUOTED WAS $700 FOR THE ASSEMBLY. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE AND GM WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT AS A PROBLEM AND WILL NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR OWNERS WHO SUDDENLY HAVE NO TAIL OR BRAKE LIGHTS ON THEIR NEW/NEWER VEHICLES.

BOTH TAIL LIGHTS HAVE CEASED TO FUNCTION WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. GMC STATES THAT THE ORIGINAL PARTS WERE DEFECTIVE, BUT WILL NOT COVER REPAIR. EACH LIGHT COSTS ~$700 PLUS LABOR. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE.

THE BACK MASSAGER TAIL LIGHT HAS STOPPED WORKING. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. TO REPLACE THE LIGHT (ONE LIGHT), I WAS QUOTED $750.

AT 38,200 MILES, THE TRUCK EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF BREAK PRESSURE WHILE IN A PARKING GARAGE TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO NARROWLY MISS HITTING A CONCRETE UPRIGHT. AFTER REALIZING THERE WAS A BREAK ISSUE, VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE CAREFULLY MOVED FROM THE PARKING GARAGE BY COASTING ON THE BREAK. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE FIRST DEPRESS OF THE BREAK SEEMED TO GIVE FULL PRESSURE, BUT EACH SUBSEQUENT DEPRESS GAVE LESS AND LESS PRESSURE. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND IS CURRENTLY AWAITING DIAGNOSTIC. PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE PART OF ONGOING INVESTIGATION INTO BRAKE VACUUM PUMP FAILURE (NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE18012).

THE DRIVER INFO SCREEN ALERTED TO SERVICE AIRBAGS. AIRBAG INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

AUXILLARY EVAPORATOR CORE FAILURE, 2 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE AT THE HEAT OF THE DAY, DRIVER SIDE A/C BLEW COLD, PASSENGER SIDE BLEW HOT

I WAS DRIVING AND THE BLIND SIAD INDICATORS QUIT WORKING . I HAD A CAR IN THE BLIND SPOT. THE MODULES ON BOTH SIDES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED 751.00

WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR AFTER COMING OUT OF REVERSE THE CAR REVS UP BETWEEN 35 AND 45 RPMS. THIS IS WHEN IT IS GOING ABOUT 25 MPH. WHEN I REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE GAS THE CAR JERKS VIOLENTLY FORWARD AND RPMS DROP TO 25RMS. WHEN I GIVE IT SOME GAS THE RPMS GO UP AGAIN TO THE 35-45 RPM. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THIS TO STOP IS TO PULL OVER, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN OFF THE CAR AND OPEN THE DOOR. I LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 10 MIN AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON AND DRIVE. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG THAT WHEN THEY PLUG IT IN EVERYTHING COMES BACK FINE. I HAVE HAD OTHER PEOPLE IN THE CAR AND IT HAS HAPPENED WITH WITNESSES SO I AM NOT IMAGINING IT. THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE AND STARTED HAPPENING A FEW DAYS AFTER I GOT IT. THE DATE I AM GIVING OF WHEN IT HAPPENED IS THE LATEST ONE - IT STARTED 8/18.
