2014 GMC Acadia complaints

Fuel gage incorrect. parked at work with a third of a tank of gas, when i left work later that day it said i was on empty. got to closest gas station and put in $20. gauge told me I had half a tank but it takes $70 to fill the tank, so there is no way $20 would give that. then I drove about mile to my parents house and while sitting in the drive way the gauge now said I had over half a tank. then i drove 4 miles home and the range went from 162 miles to 134. called dealer regarding the recall bulletin 14007b and was told my car wasnt part of it even though it is a 2014 gmc acadia and is having the issues described in the bulletin.

On 3 occasions vehicle will shut off while driving down the road. When restarted goes into limp mode. Have at repair shop now and they stated there was a campaign on the electrical fuse box but my Vin is not included. This is a complete disaster waiting to happen on busy roadways. Waiting for the parts to arrive so they can replace it, stated they see wires arcing. This is a $1000.00 bill that is most definitely a safety issue, perhaps someone jumped the gun on which Vin numbers to include. I am fortunate that I wasn't on the interstate when this happened. Very upset.

Took the truck for a inspection and goy a recall in the front airbags inflator may rapture

General Motors Corporation, and two local GM dealers, have advised they do not have the parts to repair the air-bag inflators that are a subject of a recent recall and can provide no estimate as to when the required repairs can be made under the recall.

There is a water leak problem with the Acadia ! My car had a dead battery and when it was time to change the compartment was full of water I also get water under steering wheel.

Recall on Air bag system in 2014 GMC Acadia. My safety and my children safety is at risk every time we ride in vehicle. I have a warning light illuminating the airbag needs repair. When i purchased this vehicle it wasn't any issue to the system. I'm paying insurance on a vehicle that hasn't found a remedy for the issue and I cant afford to go without transportation. There isn't a time limit on when an incident can happen but as of now this recall is an issue and if it goes without remedy I will need new/other affordable recall free transportation.

FOR A LONG TIME MY DASH HAS SAID SERVICE AIR BAG /

I was hit in and intersection while making a left turn. The other vehicle was traveling straight and hit my back quarter panel. I was spun around twice and smashed into another car as well as a pole. NONE of my airbags went off. So glad my Kid's where not in the car!

Since I have owned this vehicle, my blind spot alert system has failed 3 times. In every occurrence, the warning lights in the mirror have been stuck in the "on" position. It has occurred at approximately 60k miles, 100k miles, and now 150k miles. In each occurrence, it was a defective sensor module due to the location of the module that allows water to get into the box. The blind spot light stays on constantly and no longer detects vehicle located in the blind spot of the vehicle. In every case, the cost of the repair was over $800 to replace the box.

My wife was driving our 2014 GMC Acadia to work. She stopped to fuel up her car about 4 miles from home. She left the gas station and proceeded to head to work. She called me (her husband) in a panic because she had lost all power steering and could not turn the wheel through an intersection. I asked her if she had made it to work and she said she was about to pull into the parking lot, but was going to have to park aways out from the building as she couldn’t turn into a park spot. I went and checked out our car when she was inside working and sure enough the cars power steering fluid was all over the ground under the driver side of the car. I trailered the car back home where I could get a better look at things. The rack and pinion had failed without any warning and was spraying fluid out of the top of the rack. No warning lights or indicators on the dash, warning of low fluid or anything malfunctioned. Still when you start the vehicle there is still no warning lights of low fluid or anything. Of course we are dealt to deal with the repair and expenses ourselves because the extended warranty we have doesn’t cover anything to do with steering components with our car that we have owned now for 1 1/2 years.

The rear brake lights get stuck on causing the traction control and the stabilitrak to turn off and flash the warning on the dash. This vehicle has been to two different dealerships to fix the issues and nothing has worked. The brake pedal sensor has been replaced a couple times. The brake pedal assembly has been replaced. This is a safety concern due to other drivers thinking my brake lights are on constantly and not being able to see when I’m actually slowing down.

The contact owns a 2014 GMC Acadia. The contact stated while starting the vehicle the radio was inoperable and the air bag sensor would chime as if a passenger was seated in the passenger’s seat and not using the seat belt. Additionally, the power locks were inoperable, and the yellow lights for the blind side detection system were illuminated and remained illuminated. The contact also stated that the heater and A/C functioned sporadically. Additionally, the vehicle was difficult to start and would require several attempts before starting. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a dealer or independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 161,000.

Steering column came out while driving

Air bag light is on constantly. Unknown if this affects the airbag in terms of deployment during an accident or if malfunction is the problem

Blind spot monitor module corrosion, second replacement in three years. Warning lamps on and side mirror alert lights remain on at all times causing a distraction at night.

For the second time, my blind spot alert system has quit working. The first time it happened, my vehicle was slightly out of warranty and it required a replacement of a part that cost over $800. The replacement worked fine for several years but has recently stopped working again.

Suv stalled and everything shut off and could not start ! It has happened twice and have had it in dealership and they cannot find the problem. Battery’s has been replaced but I believe its electrical!

The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 126,000.

When I drive my vehicle on flat surfaces and even going up hill, I will get a large cluncking sound from my vehicle. It seems to happen when on a delay shift or when the vehicles weight shifts. I have brought my issue up to GMC while under warranty with no resolution. Please assist. Thanks

I noticed headlights not working low or high beam. LED lights around head lights worked and fog lights but no headlights. I normally keep it on auto, but I tried all positions and none of them worked.

Head lights quit working. I had two children in the car with me and it was night time, and I could’ve collided with another car. This just happened tonight, so I have not taken it to the dealer yet or a certified mechanic. There were no warnings of any kind before this happened.

The contact owns a 2014 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that while driving at an undetermined speed, the fuel gauge was not registering the proper amount of fuel in the vehicle. The fuel warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the failure was due to the electrical system. The vehicle was not repaired.

The contact stated the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V223000 (Electrical System, Fuel System, Gasoline). The approximate failure mileage was 105,294.

The fuel tank gauge es do not read probably when on a fourth take when driven less then a mile it read empty

Steering completely stopped, couldnt steer vehicle while I was driving on HWY with 6 High School Football players inside coming back from a scrimmage. All of Our safety was put at the utmost risk, as we were traveling at HWY speed of 65 and had to maneuver in between traffic to get the vehicle off the road without being hit by oncoming traffic at high speeds. We dodged several accidents during this incident. Let alone putting the lives of the 7 of us and several others on the road. Problem has been declared by a professional Auto Diagnostics Dealer in town, as my vehicle is at, diagnosis is failure of steering rack and pinion, which caused the replacement of powersteering pump, hoses, serpantine belt and reservoir replacement. So far.... The vehicle did not give any signs, signals, or any noises were heard to let us know that there was any failure issues regarding this dangerous incident.

The failure mileage was approximately 131,000.

My left rear turn signal is not working. It is GM part number 13582912. I have checked with several GM dealers who have. Confirmed there are none available. Just for the sake of it, 3 dealers have it on order but have no confirmed delivery date. Some parts stores say it’s is discontinued. There are no other aftermarket parts to substitute. This is a significant safety issue the GM needs to correct.

First problem is the trunk door. About a week ago I was getting something out of my trunk and accidently hit the button and the door started to close so i tried to get away from it and somehow my arm got caught and there is absolutly NO sensor to stop the trunk from crushing my arm. Unforunately, i did have some injury to my arm from the trunk coming down and have pictures of the brusing on my arm. A sensor to stop the trunk from closing on a body part or anything for that matter needs to be better made or put in the vehicle. I took pictures of my arm days later because i was in to much pain to take them when it happened. It was not a fun injurying. Saturday night iced it, sunday had to have it elevated because it was so swollen, didnt take the picture until Wednesday when it finally had calmed down. There is bruising and swelling still on Wednesday. this happened July 9th Second problem i recently had an issue with my wiring i guess it was. Specifically it was reduced engine power message displayed and my engine stalled out on me. I was told that this is a common problem with Buick Enclaves, Chevrolet Traverses, and GMC Acadia's which is the car i have. Being that this is a common issue wouldnt this be something that would be concerned a RECALL? i dont know how recalls so im more curious about it. my car stalled out on me in the middle of traffic on July 16th

My air bag service light is on when a passenger sits in it. Looking at others complaints this is a normal thing for GMC 2014 Acadia. I am wondering why a recall has not been done. I just bought this car 3 months ago and they are quoting me $600, stating it is not under recall list as it is not my curtain side air bag. Looking at others complaints- they have to have it repaired many times. This should be a recall!

Thinking it’s possibly the front passenger air bag isn’t working properly. The Air Bag light will go on and off for no apparent reason while someone is or isn’t in the seat. Makes me scared for anyone who is to sit in the front passenger seat; knowing that there’s possibly a danger issue.

Service Airbag light is on. Diagnostic code states it’s the wiring harness under the passenger seat causing an AMP draw. Mechanic told me there is a safety recall but I’m not seeing one for this issue, however I do see a lot of other complaints for this same issue. This is a safety issue and should be addressed.

I was involved in an accident on 03/31/2022 I was only passenger. Going about 35 mph hit a parked vehicle on passenger side of vehicle. Side air bags employed. But front air bags did not. I did get a concussion and left with scar from embrasion above right eyebrow from hitting steering wheel. Why did not the front air bag go out?

The contact owns a 2014 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the wiring in the seat was above the loophole. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 105,207.

I was driving down the road 55 mph and my acadia stalled. Then stabiltrac and traction control turn off then it goes to half power. So then i have to pull over wait a few minutes and restart it. This happens everyday and im nervous to see even drive my truck and it is a safety risk as it could cause a accident. I also read on the internet that it has affected multiple years and models so im not sure why there is no recall

Gas gauge does not read accurately. We have ran out of gas one time due to this issue, resulting with us stalling in the middle of a busy street. Now that that has occurred gas is put into the tank every few days but gas gauge still only registers 1/4 of tank to “Low Range”. MULTIPLE OCCASIONS!

Twice in the past six months, the “Service Air Bag” warning light has come on. The first time, the wiring under the front passenger had to be resodered. Last week, the same warning came back on, and the wiring under both front seats had to be resodered. I feel this is a safety issue, and a design failure in this year and model car.

When I turn a corner and accelerate, the vehicle jerks as if the transmission is slipping. I called Gmc and made an complaint. My vehicle has just over 50,000 miles on it. Very concerning

2017 blind spot detection lights on in both mirrors. Both modules in rear bumber replaced. 2021 blind spot sensors on again and “park assist off” in DIC with system not letting me turn back on.

Service airbag light has been on since I’ve had the car. It was not covered by warranty (even though it is important?) in order to fix it I was quoted over $1000 which is ridiculous as I only had it a month before that and traction control became a issue. Warranty covered the traction but not the airbags.

Vehicle went from running fine to stalled out instantly. Restarted ok and ran rough for a moment then perfectly fine again. Third time was in a busy intersection nearly causing an accident. Got it restarted and took it to service. The code reported is for the engine fuse box and the part was on backorder. That got me curious so I did a search and see this appears to be a recurring problem including a lawsuit that was dismissed for some reason this Spring. Clearly, this is a problem and a potentially very dangerous one. The more I read, the more I see this exact issue popping up across multiple GMC lines using the same configuration. This needs to be investigated before someone is involved in a major accident.

Power Steering went out, changed the pump and now there are metal shards throughout the entire system. Power steering system needs replaced

I have had the same problem for 3 years now and have taken my vehicle to a GM dealership many times for the same issue and it is definitely an issue . My car keeps throwing up TCM issue and ECM and I have asked for the modules to be checked. I have reasearched these issues and it seems to be the same with many vehicles like mine so that should be a red flag. My car will slow down, power reduce engine, traction control off, and my steering will be difficult and sometimes I can’t even get off the road in time, which is very dangerous. I have seen recalls on electrical issues and wonder if my vehicle has damaged recall parts. I am a single mother who has to work and get my child to school and can’t do so properly with my vehicle doing this all the time. It’s very frustrating.

I purchased my 2014 GMC Acadia Denali July 29th, 2021. It has been back to the dealer five times, with repairs not being completed. Within weeks of purchasing it, the Service Air Bag light came on, and won't go off. The low tire light came on. The serpentine belt broke and had to be replaced, and the power steering pump started making horrendous noises and leaking fluid. I bought an expensive service contract, and of course these repairs are not covered. I also had them repair tires twice, and ended up having to replace the two front tires, after being told there was nothing wrong with them, except one had a screw. They also said that tire rotation was causing the lights to go off, and wasn't reset, and supposedly they reset it to reflect where the tires are on the vehicle in relation to the TPMS's. Well, two tires lost air constantly, and there were numerous leaks. I finally took the vehicle to a real tire store for tire replacement. The estimate for the driver's side airbag system replacement is $1400 pre-tax, and the power steering pump replacement is $1100, pre-tax. So within two months, I've had nothing but trouble; spent $380 on two new tires, and will have the cost of these repairs on top of the extra $2200 I spent on a service contract. The vehicle is beautiful, and seemingly was well-maintained, but it immediately began breaking down. I've had very limited use of it since July 29th when I bought it. (it's now October 6th, 2021). I have a meeting with the owner of the
