2017 Gmc ACADIA problems and owner complaints

ON 2017 ACADIA WITH IT'S 6TXX TRANSMISSION, THE SHIFTS FROM 2-3 FEEL WEIRD (ESPECIALLY) WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS. YOU GET A FEELING AS IF TRANNY TAKES MORE THAN USUAL TIME TO ENGAGE INTO 3RD GEAR, WHEN ALREADY DISENGAGED FROM 2ND GEAR. THIS IS SIMILAR TO WHAT FEELING ONE MIGHT GET IF YOU MOVED FROM 2ND - NEUTRAL - 3RD GEAR. I STARTED EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE FROM APPROX. 5K MILES. THIS WOULD BE RISKY WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO MERGE INTO A YIELD OR CHANGE LANES AND THIS SHIFT OCCURS, YOU MOMENTARILY FEEL LOSS OF CONTROL. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH …

THE STEERING HAS LOCKED BRIEFLY 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITHIN THE LAST FEW WEEKS. THE FIRST TIME I WAS CHANGING LANES ON I-8 GOING ABOUT 45 MPH. THE NEXT TIME I WAS TAKING A FREEWAY EXIT RAMP FROM I-805 TO THE I-8 DECELERATING AND HAD NO CONTROL AS I TURNED THE WHEEL TO MANEUVER THROUGH THE CURVE. THIS PAST SATURDAY, 4/8, I WAS EXITING I-805 AT SORRENTO VALLEY ROAD AND THE STEERING LOCKED FOR OVER 2 SECONDS. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THIS WAS A SUSPENSION ISSUE. HOWEVER, I FINALLY RECEIVED SERVICE RECORDS FROM HOEHN GMC IN CARLSBAD …

ADAPTIVE-CRUISE-CONTROL (ACC)/FORWARD COLLISION BRAKING(AVOIDANCE) SYSTEM APPLIED VERY STRONG BRAKES(TWICE) IN CERTAIN SCENARIO WHEN USING ACC, INCREASING THE CHANCES OF VEHICLE BEHIND REAR-ENDING. WHILE ACC IS ENABLED, SAY YOUR VEHICLE COMES TO FULLSTOP AS VEHICLE IN FRONT HAS COME TO A FULL STOP(SAY AT TRAFFIC SIGNAL) AND ACC APPLIES FULL BRAKES. TRAFFIC AHEAD STARTS MOVING AGAIN, BUT SINCE VEHICLE WON'T MOVE ON ITS OWN DRIVER IS REQUIRED TO PRESS ACCELERATOR TO GET IT MOVING AGAIN OR ACC TO RESUME ITS OPERATION (THIS IS BY DESIGN). IN SUCH …

LESS THAN 30 DAYS OF TAKING POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW, WE NOTED A WHINE WHEN YOU TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL. WE BROUGHT THE VEH IN TO DEALERSHP AND IT WAS REPORTED THE AIRBAG COIL WAS WRAPPED AROUND STEERING COLUMN CAUSING THE NOISE. THE COIL WAS REPLACED AND VEH RETURNED TO ME. WITHIN 24 HOURS THE NOISE RETURNED. THIS TIME THEY DETERMINED IT WAS THE FRONT LEFT STRUT AND REPLACED. A BRAND NEW VEHICLE SHOULD NOT NEED A NEW STRUT. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAD ANOTHER ACADIA IN FOR SAME PROBLEM

I WENT TO A LOCAL DEALER AND COMPLAINED ABOUT A VIBRATION/RUMBLE WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENED MOSTLY AROUND 1200-1700 RPM. THE SERVICE MANAGER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. THERE WAS A MANUFACTURERS BULLETIN OUTLINING THE PROBLEM AND SUGGESTING A FUEL MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE UPGRADE. THIS WAS DONE. THE BULLETIN ALSO APPLIED TO CADILLAC XT5, WHICH IS ON A SHARED PLATFORM WITH MY 2107 GMC ACADIA DENALI AWD. THERE ARE NOW SEVERAL NEW RPM RANGES WHEN THE VIBRATION/RUMBLE OCCURS IN ADDITION TO THE OLD 1200-1700. NOT ONLY HAS THE OLD PROBLEM RE-APPEARED B…
