Service airbag warning comes on when driver seat is moved.
When you turn traction control on the entire car shakes. windshield wiper fluid will not come out. passenger window will not roll up from driver control. tire pressure monitor system has been out for time. this car is not that old for it to have all these issues
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 gmc acadia. the contact took the vehicle to arnie bauer buick gmc (5525 miller circle drive, matteson, il 60443) where it was diagnosed that the blind side alert was damaged and needed replacement; however, the part for the repair was unavailable. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the manufacturer was notified and provided case number: 5410777277. the failure mileage was 29,386. *tt *tr
On 4/11/18 we took the car to the dealership for a side dtection alert. was informed that the right side module needed replaced. we declined service due to cost of $628. 01/2019 we were have problems with the car starting. last week multiple warning a messages started appear on the dashboard as the car was traveling and stationary. took the car in for service and diagnoses was the right side detection model had severe corrosion and the left side model also had corrosion. parts where not available so we drove the car home. next day same issue with multiple warnings and alerts on the dash. my wife was able to make it home and after turning off the car it would not start even after charging the battery. next day had the car transported to the dealership. after disconnecting the side sensor models, the car restarted and started functioning normal. obviously this is a big saftey concern for a vehicle that is less than 4 years old, less than 50k miles, garage kept and well care for.
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.
The acadia has side detection sensor issues related to poor design and/or the elements (gm service teams words not mine). if this is true, am i, as the customer supposed to pay for the bad engineering decisions made by gm engineers? or if the sensors failed due to the elements, am i not to drive my awd acadia outside? i'm a little confused on why the responsibility of the repair cost falls on my shoulders with the above-mentioned being the root causes. jody in the service department personally told me that the sensors would probably need to be replaced every 1 to 2 years at a cost of $1,200 per time, and because of this people have eventually given up and traded in their vehicles (i can't say i blame them). i've been a tried and true chevy/gmc fan, but that kind of customer care has swayed my opinion. i've reached out to gm corporate, but they were not helpful either. the lack of support on a 3-year-old $55,000 vehicle is astonishing.
Bought car 10-11 days ago used. 35k miles. smelled like brakes were left on. stopped and checked. nothing. ac quit
On 15 plus occasions, while the vehicle is stationary, in the parking gear and running, the front end will start to vibrate mildly, increase in intensity and then the traction loss light illuminates, a blinking engine light illuminates, "service stabilitrak" and "service traction control" messages appear. then traction contol off appears, followed by an audible loud click and vibration ceases, messages disappear and lights turn off. once while vehicle in drive and being operated on a roadway, i pulled right at an intersection to have this same sequence happen during driving, resulting in an almost complete loss of power and acceleration and a near accident. the sequence was identical and once the errors cleared the vehicle accelerated rapidly and forcefully. i have documented multiple occasions on video while stationary over a multi month period and have furnished those documents to my local gmc dealership which has failed to repair this issue and today returned my vehicle to me with an apology for not being able to remedy the problem. they claim that the vehicle must exhibit this behavior in their presence to warrant a fix. the vehicle is under an extended warranty that clearly covers these problems. i would be happy to email the videos, but they are not in the supported format and likely larger than 5mb.
2015 gm acadia. consumer writes requesting reimbursement for repairing side detection sensors. *ld *js
Side detection, front and rear cameras failed due to corrosion of harness (84004718) and two modules (84031087). replacement of these components required to repair problem. had to wait over a month for replacement parts. this is a safety hazard.
When driving stablitrac, abs, all wheel drive fails giving alarms on the dash. suv starts so shutter and loose acceleration. if the car is stopped and shut off it will clear. when you start driving again it will randomly do it again, such as when you turn a corner or pull out to pass someone. i has happened a couple of times. the last time was worse. i almost got hit because it lost power. looking on line it looks like the same problem that other gmc vehicles have a history of.
Driving at 34-45 mph lose all engine power and have to pull over. vehicle totally loses all power. engine shuts off.
