We have classified the 6 complaints from 2013 GMC Acadia about EXTERIOR LIGHTING into the following categories.
The headlights on this vehicle are horrible , it is a safety hazzard . when driving the headlights only light up the road about 6 ft in feont of you on low beam and there is a distinct line where they stop shining upwards which is only about 4 ft up into the sky . this does not give you enough time to see anything in front of you let alone pwople walking on the sidewalks . i am very dissapointes that this vehicle is 6 years old and this hasnt been taken care of yet . maybe you should try and drive rhis vehicle and then recall it because you cant see anything on low beam. i was driving on the street after getting this and driving ar night is a safety hazzard that needs to be reconciked for all of us before something happens to someone .
Headlights have been replaced twice since purchasing the vehicle in may 2015. most recently, both headlights went out at the same time. fuses we checked. prior to the last headlight change, the lamps very very dim and as such visibility was poor, so much so that it was a safety hazard.
The car headlights suddenly started going out (while driving) intermittently. to get them to turn back on, i have to toggle the headlight switch through all the settings in the hopes that they will come back on (which they occasionally do.) this happens when the car is going fast, slow and not moving. it happens in any type of outside light. the sensor is not blocked or dirty and it happens when the headlights are not in automatic mode.
Front headlamp collects water. light is distorted and blurry to oncoming traffic. bought car during a dry spell from dealer. after a day of rain headlamp pools water and condensation and hasn't been dry since (6 weeks). dealer will not replace and says this is normal...if normal why doesn't the other side have same problem? a $1100. 00 fix!
2013 gmc acadia. consumer writes in regards to headlight problems. *smd the consumer stated when he switched the headlights from high beam to low beam, he was only able to see the low part of the road, and nothing beyond oncoming traffic. low beam has a block wall it does not exten out to see beyond when you go in a dip in road you can not see whats out in front of you this is a safety if a person walking along the road you will never see them . this does need to be corrected. ron walochik mechanic & autobody i own a 2013 gmc acadia that's why i am reporting this. *tr
I have never had to replace bulbs in the headlights in a vehicle i have owned. the headlights in this vehicle were good about 2 years. but, since then i have had to replace both bulbs in the headlights every year. and, i have to have the a/c system worked on every year as well beginning 3 months after i purchased it. purchasing this vehicle is the worst decision i have ever made in my life. i am constantly having something break. headlights, wheel bearings, motor mount, multiple issues with a/c, transmission.
