I NOTICED THE OTHER DAY WHEN I WAS TURNING MY STEERING WHEEL IT WAS VERY HARD. NO LIGHT OR WARRING AT ALL. I CHECKED MY POWER STEERING FLUID AND IT WAS FULL. I'M NOT ABLE TO TURN THE WHEELS WHEN I'M NOT PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDDLE. I WANT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE CARS. BECAUSE HE HAS REPLACED TOO MANY IN THE 2015 MODEL. IF I HAVE THEM REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP IT WILL COST ME $1000. THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT, BECAUSE I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL IN T…

AFTER PICKING UP OUR NEW TRUCK WE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE WAS SHORT JUMPING AT LOW SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IN TRAFFIC - AT FIRST WHEN THIS OCCURS YOU HAVE TO ALMOST ASK YOURSELF DID I HIT THE GAS PEDAL INSTEAD OF THE BRAKES. AFTER ONLY A COUPLE WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP WE DROPPED OFF OUR NEW VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED. DEALER 'S GMC CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN HAD TO CONSULT WITH GMC CORPORATE TO HELP TROUBLESHOOT AND THEN DECIDED TO REPLACE THE LOWER AND UPPER ENGINE VALVE COVERS, AND THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE; WHICH WAS A QUICK FIX THAT LASTED…

MY 2015 GMC ACADIA HAS A SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT ON. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OF ANY KIND (MINOR OR MAJOR). NOT SURE IF IT IS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT OR IF IT IS A BAD AIR BAG. NOW I HAVE NO IDEA IF THE AIRBAGS WILL EVEN DEPLOY IF WE ARE IN AN ACCIDENT. SINCE IT IS 3 YEARS OLD THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WILL NOT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY. TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH COST TO THE CONSUMER. I HAVE LOOKED FOR ANY RECALLS BUT HAVE NOT FOUND ANY. I'M SURE MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. CAN YO…

THERE IS A DEFECT IN WHICH WATER LEAKS INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND GETS INTO THE FUSE BOX AND CAUSES ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE IGNITION SWITCH, DAMAGE TO THE FUSES, DRAINING THE BATTERY ETC.

BAD SHIFTING IN TRANSMISSION WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A STOP AND TURN RIGHT AND ACCELERATE AT THE SAME TIME. THIS HAPPENS ON THE 2014 AND 2015 MODELS, TRANMISSION WILL STUTTER AND ABRUPTLY SHIFT INTO A LOWER GEAR. ON THE ACADIA FORUMS IT IS DOCUMENTED BY OTHER OWNERS AS WELL (APPROX 30-50 OTHER OWNERS). THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS A REPROGRAM TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS ISSUE. GM APPEARS TO NOT BE DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS COMMON ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED WHETHER DRIVING OR PARKED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER; HOWEVER, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE FAILURE AND DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT FURTHER EVIDENCE REGARDING THE FAILURE WAS NEEDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,860.

INJECTORS STICKING OPEN. BROUGHT TO DEALER AT 26,000 MILES AFTER IT BROKE DOWN 200 MILES AWAY. THAT WAS AFTER THE GMC DEALERSHIP TOLD US IT SHOULD BE OK TO DRIVE. INJECTOR STUCK OPEN AND THE DEALER WE BROKE DOWN AT SAID THE VEHICLE COULD CATCH FIRE IF WE KEPT DRIVING. THEY REPLACED THE INJECTOR THAT WAS THE ISSUE. NOW LAST WEEK ANOTHER DIFFERENT INJECTOR FAILED. THIS TIME THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE FILLED WITH THE SMELL OF FUEL AND WAS VIOLENTLY SHAKING ON THE ROAD. WE COULDN'T PULL OVER RODGER AWAY BECAUSE WE WEREN'T ON A SAFE ROAD TO STOP AT. …
