2016 SLE GMC ACADIA CENTER GEAR SHIFTING COMPONENT LEVEL DOES NOT INDICATE WHAT GEAR THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN. P,R,N,D,L ALL REMAIN WHITE IN COLOR DESPITE BEING IN A DIFFERENT GEAR; AN IMPROVEMENT (PERHAPS A COLOR CHANGE TO THE CURRENT GEAR) IS NEEDED. GEAR INDICATION IS CURRENTLY LOCATED ON A 2 INCH BY 3 INCH SCREEN SCREEN ABOVE THE SPEEDOMETER IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. HOWEVER, THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCATED WITHIN THE AVERAGE PERSONS FIELD OF VIEW OF THE INDICATION SCREEN, THUS MAKING THE INDICATION SCREEN USELESS UNTIL A MAJOR BODY ADJUSTMENT, UP OR DOWN, IS MADE. POOR INDICATION OF CURRENT GEAR AND THE SIZE OF GEAR INDICATION NEED TO BE DRASTICALLY IMPROVED TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL GEAR SELECTION WHICH WOULD RESULT IN WRECKS AND LOST OF LIFE.

MY WIFES VEHICLE WHICH IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE HAS HAD SEVERAL REOCCURRING ISSUES. WE HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM AS IT IS STILL ON GOING. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT IS EXTREMELY SCARY. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL ALERT THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO HAVE A COLLISION BUT THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF YOU JUST A VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF YOU AND WILL BREAK ON ITS OWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES BUT THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WE ALSO HAD SERVICE STABILITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL OFF AND THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON THE DASH WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THESE CAME ON THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE HORRIBLY AND THE RPM'S DROPPED TO UNDER 1000 WHILE STILL GOING 40 MPH. I HAVE ALSO HAD ON A FEW OCCASIONS THE BACKUP CAMERA SAY VEHICLE GUIDING LINES UNAVAILABLE WHILE REVERSING AND WHILE DRIVING RANDOMLY THE VEHICLE WITH SAY PARK ASSIST OFF THEN DISAPPEAR AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES. JUST 2 WEEKS AGO I WENT TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT SAID SERVICE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM AND WOULD NOT START UNTIL I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES TO RECONNECT THE BATTERY AND RE-START THE VEHICLE. WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO SHEEHAN GMC IN LIGHTHOUSE POINT FLORIDA 4 TIMES FOR THESE SPECIFIC ISSUES AND RECEIVED NO RESOLUTION. AFTER CONTACTING GMC WE RECEIVED NO ASSISTANCE UNTIL I FILED LEMON LAW WHICH THEN THEY SENT AN ENGINEER WHO STATED AFTER A 2 HOUR INSPECTION THERE WAS NO REPLICATION OF PROBLEMS AND VEHICLE IS OPERATING AS NORMAL. THIS VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP AND NOT SAFE TO DRIVE MY FAMILY IN. I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER GM PRODUCT.

I AM WRITING THIS LETTER TO INFORM YOU OF AN INCIDENT WHICH OCCURRED ON SUNDAY JUNE 4, 2017 WHILE DRIVING MY GMC ACADIA. I WORK IN REAL ESTATE SALES AND AFTER SHOWING HOME SITES TO A POTENTIAL BUYER I RETURNED TO MY MODEL PARKING LOT. I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT AND WAS IN THE PROCESS OF PARKING THE CAR WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN REVVING. I WAS ONLY A FEW FEET AWAY FROM THE PARKING BLOCK AND I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE. THE CAR KEPT REVVING AND JERKED FORWARD WITH SO MUCH FORCE THAT I WENT OVER THE PARKING BLOCK, THROUGH THE BUSHES AND THROUGH THE PVC FENCE. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME AND KEPT TRYING TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. AFTER A FEW FEET BEYOND THE FENCE THE CAR FINALLY WENT INTO PARK AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR. I AM COMPLETELY GRATEFUL THAT NO PEDESTRIANS WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE. AS I AM SURE YOU CAN IMAGINE I WAS TERRIFIED TO GET BACK INTO THE CAR. I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND HAD HIM BRING ME THE OTHER CAR SO I CAN FINISH OUT MY WORK DAY. THE ACADIA IS OUR FAMILY CAR AND THE CAR THAT TRANSPORTS OUR FOUR CHILDREN. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR INTO FERMAN DEALERSHIP, THE DEALERSHIP WHICH WE LEASED THE CAR FROM, AND THEY BLEW HIM OFF SAYING THAT I PROBABLY GOT CONFUSED BETWEEN THE BRAKE AND THE THROTTLE. I AM 41 YEARS OLD AND HAVE BEEN DRIVING SINCE I WAS 16 AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT I DID NOT GET CONFUSED AND I FIND IT COMPLETELY INSULTING THAT THEY EVEN SAID THAT. IT DOES NOT SEEM THAT WE HAVE ANY LEGAL RECOURSE FOR BEING ABLE TO TERMINATE OUR LEASE DUE TO THIS, WHICH IS WHAT WE WOULD WANT. I WANT THIS INCIDENT REPORTED IN WRITING SHOULD GOD FORBID IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND THERE IS MORE DAMAGE THAN JUST TWO FENCE PANELS.

THE CHROME TRIM AROUND THE VENTS ABOVE THE CENTER NAVIGATION SCREEN DISPLAY ARE MADE OF A MIRROR FINISH CHROME UNLIKE THE MATTE TRIM THAT SURROUNDS THE NAVIGATION SCREEN. WHEN ONE IS DRIVING AND THE SUN IS APPROXIMATELY DIRECTLY OVERHEAD, THE SUN REFLECTS OFF THE CHROME TRIM AND DUE TO THE ANGLE OF THE TRIM, IS REFLECTS DIRECTLY INTO THE DRIVER'S EYES. AS ONE CANNOT REALLY CHANGE ANYTHING WHILE DRIVING DURING THIS PERIOD TO BLOCK THE REFLECTION THE DRIVER IS CONSTANTLY BEEN DISTRACTED WITH THE SUN REFLECTION OF THE MIRROR LIKE TRIM THAT IS SHINNING IN THE DRIVER'S EYES.

2016 SLE GMC ACADIA CENTER GEAR SHIFTING COMPONENT LEVEL DOES NOT INDICATE WHAT GEAR THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN. P,R,N,D,L ALL REMAIN WHITE IN COLOR DESPITE BEING IN A DIFFERENT GEAR; AN IMPROVEMENT (PERHAPS A COLOR CHANGE TO THE CURRENT GEAR) IS NEEDED. GEAR INDICATION IS CURRENTLY LOCATED ON A 2 INCH BY 3 INCH SCREEN SCREEN ABOVE THE SPEEDOMETER IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. HOWEVER, THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCATED WITHIN THE AVERAGE PERSONS FIELD OF VIEW OF THE INDICATION SCREEN, THUS MAKING THE INDICATION SCREEN USELESS UNTIL A MAJOR BODY ADJUSTMENT, UP OR DOWN, IS MADE. POOR INDICATION OF CURRENT GEAR AND THE SIZE OF GEAR INDICATION NEED TO BE DRASTICALLY IMPROVED TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL GEAR SELECTION WHICH WOULD RESULT IN WRECKS AND LOST OF LIFE.

Recently the "Service Side Detection System" light came on. Now the blind side monitoring doesn't work. While driving all of lights on the dash, radio, and headlights turned off. I was unable to see the road, my speed, or anything within the vehicle. I did some research and this is a vary common issue with these vehicles and nothing has been done to correct it.

THERE IS AN AIR VENT LOCATED NEXT TO ACCELERATOR WITH FINS SLANTED DOWNWARDS. SHOES SUCH AS TENNIS SHOES HANG UP ON THE VENT AS YOU TRY TO RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR. HAVE TO PULL YOUR FOOT OUT OF THE HANG UP WHICH CAUSES DELAYS AND DISTRACTIONS. DEALER SAYS NO KNOWN FIX AND THAT THIS IS NOT IDENTIFIED AS A PROBLEM BY GM.

Special Coverage Adjustment N172097060 Side Blind Zone Alert Module Water Intrusion was issued for my vehicle. I took it in to get fixed and was told I was past the 6 year extension (May 2022) but under the milage (79,199). They told me the parts are on back order from GMC. This was on 04-03-2023. On 04-05-2023 I was driving my vehicle and the instrument cluster went partially blank. I lost my speedometer , tachometer and most of the other gauges. I had numerous warning lights on. The blinkers stopped working and I had no control of any environmental controls or radio functions. I pulled off the side of the road and shut the vehicle off. I tried to restart it, it started but even more things began to fail electrically. I shut if off again, tried another restart and now it would not start. I tried multiple times and could not get it to start. With the car off and the key out of the ignition, the heater control panel would stay on and the fan was running. I tried a few more times and finally got it to run but still had no instrumentation. I was less than a mile from home and tried to make it back. While driving I had no electrical control of anything and no way to determine my speed. I made it back, but now my vehicle will not start at all. With the key out it still runs the heater controls and fan. This is a dangerous situation not being able to control your vehicle electrical systems and being able to start your vehicle. This needs to be a recall, NOT a manufacture " Special coverage adjustment" that they know is a known issue and dont even have to parts to fix it.

THE CAR WAS PARKED AND OFF WHEN THE LIFT GATE MALFUNCTIONED. OPENED THE LIFTGATE USING THE BUTTON ON THE GATE, IT OPENED FULLY PAUSED OPEN, THEN SUDDENLY DROPPED 1/3 OF THE WAY CLOSED ON TOP OF MY HUSBAND, IT OPENED AGAIN AND THEN CLOSED QUICKLY ON IT'S OWN. IT REPEATED THE SAME ACTION AGAIN WHEN WE TRIED OPENING. AFTER WE TURNED OFF THE POWER LIFTGATE USING THE BUTTON IN THE DASH WE COULD OPEN THE LIFE HOWEVER WE HAD TO HOLD THE GATE UP, IT WOULD SLAM DOWN IF WE LET GO OF THE GATE. THE LIFE GATE STRUTS WERE FOUND TO BE LEAKING AND REPAIRED. IT IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS FOUND IN THE RECALLED 2010-2012 ACADIAS

Passenger side carpeting and foam are soaked from a leakage somewhere. The fuse panel under glove box is soaked and not working correctly. Water is almost making its way into battery under passenger side rear floor. Rust has formed under the shifting console. Car is moldy. No one can tell me what is happening but thousands of complaints online regarding GMC Acadia all have this problem. My vehicle is useless 20,000 in the driveway and cannot drive. Not to mention me and my kids have been driving in mold for who knows how long. GMC needs to fix this issue before they have a class action lawsuit on their hands.

I HAVE A CONCERN WITH ALL 4 OF MY TIRES ON MY 2016 GMC ACADIA. THESE TIRES WERE MANUFACTURED ON THE 10TH WEEK OF 2016. I PURCHASED MY TRUCK 4/12/2016. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO GOOD YEAR SERVICE STATION AND GMC AS INSTRUCTED BY GM TO NO AVAIL. THEY ARE SAYING THAT THIS IS WEAR AN TEAR. ALL OF MY TIRES ARE DRY ROTTED. MY TRUCK IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS 22,509 MILES. THE LIFE EXPECTANCY FOR TIRE WEAR AND TEAR IS APPROXIMATELY 6 YEARS. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS OUTCOME BECAUSE MY FIANC HAS A CADILLAC ESCALADE 2015 WHICH HE PURCHASED IN 2014 AND HE DRIVES AND HAUL'S CAR AND HIS TIRES ARE IN BETTER CONDITION THEN MINE. I HAVE MY GRANDBABIES IN MY TRUCK AND NOW WORRY OF A TIRE BLOW OUT. IF I EXPERIENCE A BLOW OUT I WILL SUE BOTH GOOD YEAR AND GMC. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IN MY TRUCK AND I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD PAY OUT OF POCKET WHEN THESE TIRES ARE CLEARLY DEFECTIVE. THE BATCH PERVIOUS TO MY TIRE BATCH WERE RECALLED. WHO'S TO SAY THAT THESE TIRES ARE ALSO DEFECTIVE. I HAVE ATTACHED PHOTO FOR VERIFICATION. I AM ASHAMED OF GMC FOR NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUS AS I HAVE. IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT IN JUST 2 TIRES ALL 4 OF MY TIRES ARE DRY ROTTED! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME. ALL I WANTED WAS PEACE OF MIND AND THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THESE TIRES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. I HOPE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE.

The contact owns a 2016 GMC Acadia. The contact indicated while driving at various speeds the vehicle had experienced random jerking and hesitation. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the engine control module was faulty. The engine control module was replaced but the failure continued to occur. The vehicle was then taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the rack and pinion and power steering pump were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000.

1/25/2022

I received an error stating “service side detection system” first. Then I started having issues with every error code coming up, side air bag, the side detection lights staying on at all times while engine is on, and I lost my radio entirely. Without my radio I have back up camera! A dealership told me my wire harness is defective, either a frayed wire, corroded wire, and that it is blowing all my fuses. This is before they have completed my service, at my expense. The electrical system runs my car!! Side detection system issues are a SAFETY ISSUE!! It seems this is not the first GMC has heard of this but their response is nothing! How can this safety issue be allowed to continue with GMC not taking steps to fix it in a recall?

6/6/2022

Went to get alignment and mechanic said the rack and pinion was faulty because of noise when making turn in vehicle
