Owner report 11603614 · 2024-07-21 (July 21, 2024)
2024 brand new Acadia Denali trim with 1k miles was brought in to the dealership because of 'popping' and 'grinding' noise when turning, most loudest when turning to and from the right. It was also very much felt on the steering wheel. Dealer took apart the front right strut assembly and said that it was not 'installed' properly, causing the springs to hit the fender everytime the wheels turned. They inspected it said that nothing needed to be replaced, installed it properly, test drove it and determined that it was fixed. Driving home, I spe…

Left rear tail lamp failed after only 90 miles. It is available for inspection upon request. This tail lamp also contains the left turn signal, so when turning left, the signal flashes faster. The dealership has been notified of the issue and has inspected the issue in question. There were no warning lamps indicating the lamp was not functioning until I turned my left turn signal on. Now, there is a check left tail lamp indicator every time I use my left turn signal. I have been waiting on the replacement part for approximately 6 weeks …

Owner report 11616573 · 2024-09-26 (September 26, 2024)
Safety Restraint System Service light alert comes on at start up. I purchased this vehicle july 20th and returned vehicle to dealer for service on sept.5. I was informed the steering wheel air bag and coil are faulty. The repair parts are on back order and would take at least 5-6 months to get. I contacted GM customer service and was told the air bag system should still function according to GM. I have had this vehicle @ 2months, I don't feel comfortable letting my wife drive this vehicle or transporting my grandkids in it.

Owner report 11617622 · 2024-10-01 (October 1, 2024)
The automatic braking system activates when there is no danger of collision or impact. During heavy rain, backing out of a parking space, with no hazard activating the emergency braking system near your vehicle, the emergency braking system will activate every 2-3 feet driven- sometimes occurring 6-8 times when trying to back out of space. This is a safety hazard because you’re left sitting in a roadway with no control over vehicle. Your chances of being hit by oncoming traffic, because your vehicle stops itself over and over, is high. Not only…
