Problems with 2017 GMC Acadia ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Horn is so hard to push no one in my family can sound horn guys at dealer could not get it to sound without excessive force this is highly dangerous no one at the dealer or gmc will fix it they say it was the way it was designed again very dangerous some one needs to fix this flaw before someone dies in an accident because they were unable to sound horn to avoid collision i would have never imaged buying a brand new car i would have unresolved safety concerns with the answer from gmc and the dealer being we aren't fixing it so i guess you shouldn't drive it that's the fix not to drive my one and only brand new car how about gmc or the dealer making my brand new car safe and fixing their problem!!!!! there needs to be a recall for this horn

It is very difficult to sound the horn. it takes multiple presses and often won't sound without use of both hands. this is a safety hazard. it is an ongoing hazard.

New 2017 gmc acadia denali fwd. less than 100 miles. horn does not operate with normal driver pressure under any conditions. requires excessive pressure to operate, requiring using both hands and then only in one spot. gm is aware of the problem and has done nothing to correct, calling it is operating "as designed". the design is flawed and gm fails to admit it and take corrective action. it is past time that this problem is fixed, as it has been reported many times by other gmc acadia owners and is on record with the nhtsa. does someone have to be killed before a fix is released? does someone have to be killed before the nhtsa acts on this potentially lethal defect?

The horn is very hard to honk. it takes my wife both hands to activate the horn. i have seen similar complaints on the computer. i have been back and forth with a gm representative for about 5 moths and have gotten nowhere. they apparently do not see this as a safety concern. i do. i have taken the car back to the dealer and they said they adjusted the horn, but there was no improvement. we checked 3 other acadias on the lot, and they all had this problem.

Horn will not honk unless excessive pressure is applied. it takes 2 hands to honk the horn. i have never seen a horn that required more than 1 finger to honk.

I bought a new 2017 gmc acadia denali the end of february and the next day found out that the horn does not work. the horn is extremely hard to push and requires extra pressure with both hands and arching my back against the seat to try and make the horn to work. i have been back to the dealers 3 times in 2 weeks and it is not fixed. there are only 644 miles on this new suv and my wife will not drive it because it is a safety concern with no horn. *tr

Truck constantly fails to start. keyfob not recognized. computer system crashes, rear air vents fall out. faulty gas tank and gas line. cannot fill up gas tank past 1/2 a tank. been happening since inception and is constantly in and out of service for the same issues over the past year. not being able to start the truck is a safety hazard to me and my family. there needs to be an alternate way to start the truck should the computer system crash.

Horn has not worked from day one. dealer says can't fix until gm redesigns a solution. sad.

The a/c comes on and off automatically and you have no control over it. gm states they did this so you don't have to turn your def. on. while i'm driving i continually have to take my eyes off the road to fiddle with the temp. control. (the a/c comes on full cold) i've contacted gmc and they refuse to do or offer any help in this matter.
