Side detection modules failed, don't work and notify of blind spots
My key is stuck in the ignition and will not release on my 2016 gmc acadia. the battery had to be replaced because it was completely draining my electrical system. it has been determined that my car is not recognizing it is in park to release the key. the floor shifter needs to be replaced according to my gmc dealership. this is extremely dangerous as the car could drift at any time, not to mention the strain on the battery.
Side blind zone alert message is displayed on the driver instrument cluster and side blind zone lights in mirrors are always on. condition has been intermittent since about 50000 miles and now is in the condition permanently rendering this safety feature useless.
Side blind spot detection modules not working. this creates a safety hazard in general, but causes an electrical short internally and causes other electrucal parts to malfunction such as: air bags ignition blinkers rear back up camera front crash detection these are all major safety issues that happen on the road, in motion for my family in the car and others on the road. we need to get it fixed but, parts are back ordered and not available for almost 6 months now. it's a $1200 repair and is re occurring problem from what the dealer has said.. this vehicle has been in service for just over 3 years and should be safe to drive for a much longer duration than that. thanks
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.
On multiple occasions the vehicle has completely shut-down, while sitting stationary in traffic with the brakes applied (once at stoplight, another time backing out from driveway with brake applied prior to transitioning to drive) each occasion the vehicle was restarted with no issue or warning lights. 1st time taken to dealer, no "codes" were found and were unable to re-create problem, and sent home. currently at dealer for the 2nd time and still unable to retrieve error codes or re-create. currently contacting gm for assistance. vehicle purchased new in december 2016 from north star gmc in pennsylvania, and currently has less than 10k miles.
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.
The screen mentions the stabilitrak isn't working and the truck looses power and shuts off. the transmission isn't shifting properly. the truck looses power out of no where al so saying the traction control isn't working. it happens all at random times.
