2016 GMC Acadia complaints

MY VEHICLE IS A 2016 GMC ACADIA DENALI WITH AWD. THE POWER STEERING WAS VERY STIFF WHILE AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN THE WEATHER WAS COLD LAST WINTER. DURING THIS SPRING AND SUMMER THE STEERING CONTINUED TO GET WORSE AND NOW THERE IS NO POWER STEERING AT LOW SPEEDS AND LOW RPM. THE VEHICLE JUST TURNED 39,000 MILES. THIS MAKES DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS WHILE MAKING TURNS AND TRYING TO PARK THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS NOW IN THE DEALERS SHOP AND THEY HAVE SAID THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND STEERING GEAR BOTH NEED TO BE REPLACED AS THE PUMP IS FAILING AND THE STEERING GEAR IS LEAKING INTERNALLY.

ON SATURDAY (8/31/2019), I NOTICED THAT THE AC IN MY 2016 ACADIA (ABOUT 79,000 MILES) WOULDN'T TURN ON. MY VEHICLE HAS TWO EVAPORATORS, ONE IN THE FRONT FOR THE FRONT AC, AND ONE IN THE REAR FOR THE REAR AC. THEY ARE CONNECTED BY AN ALUMINUM TUBE (GM PART #23199274). WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE GMC DEALER, THEY SHOWED ME THAT A CONNECTOR ON THE POWER STEERING FLUID (PSF) LINE, WHICH RUNS BESIDE THIS ALUMINUM TUBE (SEE PHOTO 1), HAD RUBBED UP AGAINST THE ALUMINUM AND WORN A HOLE IN IT, ALLOWING ALL THE REFRIGERANT TO LEAK OUT (PHOTO 2). THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE A LITTLE RUBBER PIECE THAT FITS OVER AND PROTECTS THE COOLANT LINE (YOU CAN SORT-OF SEE IT IN THE PICTURES), BUT THAT PIECE IS SMALL AND SLIDES DOWN, EXPOSING THE ALUMINUM TUBE. THE TECHNICIAN THEN TOLD/SHOWED ME HOW HE USUALLY BENDS OR MOVES THE PSF LINE SO THAT IT DOESN'T RUB AGAINST THE ALUMINUM COOLANT TUBE. THIS INDICATES THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS DONE NOTHING IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX IT, EVEN THOUGH THIS INHERENT DESIGN FLAW ALLOWS THE ENTIRE COOLANT CHARGE TO LEAK INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. NEEDLESS TO SAY, SINCE REFRIGERANT IS NOT EXACTLY ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY, I FIND IT CONCERNING THAT GM IS APPARENTLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HASN'T TAKEN THE NECESSARY STEPS (LIKE A VOLUNTARY RECALL) TO FIX IT. I CALLED THE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND MADE THEM AWARE OF THE SITUATION, AND THEY SAID "THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO." I'M HOPING THIS COMPLAINT FORCES THEM TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND STOP LEAKING FULL REFRIGER

THERE HAS BEEN A COUPLE OF INSTANCES WHERE THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF ONCE WHEN TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE, AND ONCE WHILE SITTING AT A ROUNDABOUT AND THEN I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. IT SEEMS TO WORK FOR A WHILE AFTER THAT, BUT IT IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING FOR A CAR THAT IS NOT THAT OLD AND I JUST GOT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW WAS INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE WINDOW WAS NOT ABLE TO BE CONTROLLED FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR PANEL.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000. *JB

POWER STEERING HAS COMPLETELY GONE OUT. CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN

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.

'TAKATA RECALL' WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WILL NOT SHIFT GEARS OR HAS A HARD SHIFT. THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT BEFORE WANTING TO ACTUALLY MOVE WHICH COULD RESULT IN FATAL ACCIDENTS. THE CAR IS NEARLY BRAND NEW WITH THESE TYPES OF ISSUES.

A/C COMPRESSOR LOCKED UP AND HAS BURNT THE BELT TO ALL PULLEYS. WAS BEING DRIVEN DOWN HIGHWAY WHICH CAUSED POWER STEERING TO STOP MAKING EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER ALMOST IN A CRASH.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, WE WENT TO MAKE A TURN. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD WOULD NOT TURN. WE ACTUALLY HAD TO CROSS INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC UP ON A SIDEWALK. SINCE THEN IT HAS CONTINUED TO WORK AND THEN SUDDENLY STOP WORKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 GMC ACADIA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. AFTER THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT NOTICED MULTIPLE UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED, BUT WAS LATER TOWED TO MARCHANT CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 5700 SAVANNAH HWY, RAVENEL, SC 29470, (843) 722-8208). THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE SERPENTINE BELT, AIR COMPRESSOR, AND FREON NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,200.

IT IS A SHAME THAT SOME OTHER OLDER CARS LIKE FORD RECEIVE INFOTAINMENT UPGRADE MODULES TO SUPPORT GOOGLE AND APPLE CAR PLAY AND GM DID NOTHING SO FAR

POWER STEERING FAILS WHILE DRIVING DUE TO SUDDEN SUBSTANTIAL FLUID LEAKAGE. COMPLAINTS TO GM ARE UNRESOLCVED WHILE GM CONTINUES TO SELL FLAWED VEHICLES.

ALL THE CARS' AIRBAGS DEPLOYED SPONTANEOUSLY, I WAS ON A SMALL STREET , GETTING OUT OF THE GYM'S BUILDING PARKING

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.

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.

THE CAR WAS PARKED AND OFF WHEN THE LIFT GATE MALFUNCTIONED. OPENED THE LIFTGATE USING THE BUTTON ON THE GATE, IT OPENED FULLY PAUSED OPEN, THEN SUDDENLY DROPPED 1/3 OF THE WAY CLOSED ON TOP OF MY HUSBAND, IT OPENED AGAIN AND THEN CLOSED QUICKLY ON IT'S OWN. IT REPEATED THE SAME ACTION AGAIN WHEN WE TRIED OPENING. AFTER WE TURNED OFF THE POWER LIFTGATE USING THE BUTTON IN THE DASH WE COULD OPEN THE LIFE HOWEVER WE HAD TO HOLD THE GATE UP, IT WOULD SLAM DOWN IF WE LET GO OF THE GATE. THE LIFE GATE STRUTS WERE FOUND TO BE LEAKING AND REPAIRED. IT IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS FOUND IN THE RECALLED 2010-2012 ACADIAS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 GMC ACADIA. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHOOK WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KOEPP CHEVROLET (830-253-8000, LOCATED AT 13221 US-87, LA VERNIA, TX 78121) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

CAR WOULD NOT START NO INTER LIGHTS DEAD TOWED TO DEALER THEY FIXED IT ONCE I HAD BACK FOR ONE DAY IT HAPPENED AGIN NEEDS A SIDE DENTITION MODULE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR OVER 5 WEEKS AND NOTHING NO PARTS

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 2016 GMC ALL WHEEL DRIVE BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARING WENT OUT AT 26,000 MILES THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE . THERE ARE REALLY BAD

I HAVE A CONCERN WITH ALL 4 OF MY TIRES ON MY 2016 GMC ACADIA. THESE TIRES WERE MANUFACTURED ON THE 10TH WEEK OF 2016. I PURCHASED MY TRUCK 4/12/2016. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO GOOD YEAR SERVICE STATION AND GMC AS INSTRUCTED BY GM TO NO AVAIL. THEY ARE SAYING THAT THIS IS WEAR AN TEAR. ALL OF MY TIRES ARE DRY ROTTED. MY TRUCK IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS 22,509 MILES. THE LIFE EXPECTANCY FOR TIRE WEAR AND TEAR IS APPROXIMATELY 6 YEARS. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS OUTCOME BECAUSE MY FIANC HAS A CADILLAC ESCALADE 2015 WHICH HE PURCHASED IN 2014 AND HE DRIVES AND HAUL'S CAR AND HIS TIRES ARE IN BETTER CONDITION THEN MINE. I HAVE MY GRANDBABIES IN MY TRUCK AND NOW WORRY OF A TIRE BLOW OUT. IF I EXPERIENCE A BLOW OUT I WILL SUE BOTH GOOD YEAR AND GMC. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IN MY TRUCK AND I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD PAY OUT OF POCKET WHEN THESE TIRES ARE CLEARLY DEFECTIVE. THE BATCH PERVIOUS TO MY TIRE BATCH WERE RECALLED. WHO'S TO SAY THAT THESE TIRES ARE ALSO DEFECTIVE. I HAVE ATTACHED PHOTO FOR VERIFICATION. I AM ASHAMED OF GMC FOR NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUS AS I HAVE. IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT IN JUST 2 TIRES ALL 4 OF MY TIRES ARE DRY ROTTED! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME. ALL I WANTED WAS PEACE OF MIND AND THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THESE TIRES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. I HOPE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE.

ON APRIL 5, 2018, MY FAMILY AND I (FRONT PASSENGER) WERE IN A HEAD ON COLLISION. UPON IMPACT MY SEAT'S LOCKING MECHANISM LOST CONTROL OF MY SEAT CAUSING ME TO BE THROWN FORWARD AND IMPACTING THE DASHBOARD, WHICH I BELIEVE CONTRIBUTED TO MY INJURY, FRACTURED L1 AND L2.

I HAVE A 2016 GMC ACADIA. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 24,000 MILES, AND WAS PURCHASED NEW BY ME. THE FACTORY TIRES, GOODYEAR FORTERA HL EDITION, ARE EXHIBITING SIGNIFICANT CRACKING BETWEEN THE TREADS ALL AROUND EACH TIRE. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED, HAVE EVEN TREAD WEAR, AND ADEQUATE TREAD DEPTH. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE IN 2015, BUT I WAS ADVISED BY GOODYEAR THAT MY MODEL YEAR IS NOT INCLUDED.

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

I AM WRITING THIS LETTER TO INFORM YOU OF AN INCIDENT WHICH OCCURRED ON SUNDAY JUNE 4, 2017 WHILE DRIVING MY GMC ACADIA. I WORK IN REAL ESTATE SALES AND AFTER SHOWING HOME SITES TO A POTENTIAL BUYER I RETURNED TO MY MODEL PARKING LOT. I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT AND WAS IN THE PROCESS OF PARKING THE CAR WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN REVVING. I WAS ONLY A FEW FEET AWAY FROM THE PARKING BLOCK AND I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE. THE CAR KEPT REVVING AND JERKED FORWARD WITH SO MUCH FORCE THAT I WENT OVER THE PARKING BLOCK, THROUGH THE BUSHES AND THROUGH THE PVC FENCE. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME AND KEPT TRYING TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. AFTER A FEW FEET BEYOND THE FENCE THE CAR FINALLY WENT INTO PARK AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR. I AM COMPLETELY GRATEFUL THAT NO PEDESTRIANS WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE. AS I AM SURE YOU CAN IMAGINE I WAS TERRIFIED TO GET BACK INTO THE CAR. I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND HAD HIM BRING ME THE OTHER CAR SO I CAN FINISH OUT MY WORK DAY. THE ACADIA IS OUR FAMILY CAR AND THE CAR THAT TRANSPORTS OUR FOUR CHILDREN. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR INTO FERMAN DEALERSHIP, THE DEALERSHIP WHICH WE LEASED THE CAR FROM, AND THEY BLEW HIM OFF SAYING THAT I PROBABLY GOT CONFUSED BETWEEN THE BRAKE AND THE THROTTLE. I AM 41 YEARS OLD AND HAVE BEEN DRIVING SINCE I WAS 16 AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT I DID NOT GET CONFUSED AND I FIND IT COMPLETELY INSULTING THAT THEY EVEN SAID THAT. IT DOES NOT SEEM THAT WE HAVE

VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, SHUT OFF, KEYS ON FRONT SEAT WITH PURSE. WENT TO SEAT BEHIND DRIVER TAKING ITEMS OUT AND WENT ABOUT DOOING MY ERRAND. BOTH DOORS LEFT OPEN. UPON RETURNING, NOTICEC VEHICLE ROLLING TOWARDS HIGHWAY. TRIED TO CATCH IT WHEN SECOND DOOR KNOCKED ME DOWN AND REAR DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL WENT OVER MY FOOT.

THERE IS AN AIR VENT LOCATED NEXT TO ACCELERATOR WITH FINS SLANTED DOWNWARDS. SHOES SUCH AS TENNIS SHOES HANG UP ON THE VENT AS YOU TRY TO RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR. HAVE TO PULL YOUR FOOT OUT OF THE HANG UP WHICH CAUSES DELAYS AND DISTRACTIONS. DEALER SAYS NO KNOWN FIX AND THAT THIS IS NOT IDENTIFIED AS A PROBLEM BY GM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES WERE NOT CONSISTENT AND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. WHILE AT A RED LIGHT, THE BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT WARNING.

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 CHROME TRIM AROUND THE VENTS ABOVE THE CENTER NAVIGATION SCREEN DISPLAY ARE MADE OF A MIRROR FINISH CHROME UNLIKE THE MATTE TRIM THAT SURROUNDS THE NAVIGATION SCREEN. WHEN ONE IS DRIVING AND THE SUN IS APPROXIMATELY DIRECTLY OVERHEAD, THE SUN REFLECTS OFF THE CHROME TRIM AND DUE TO THE ANGLE OF THE TRIM, IS REFLECTS DIRECTLY INTO THE DRIVER'S EYES. AS ONE CANNOT REALLY CHANGE ANYTHING WHILE DRIVING DURING THIS PERIOD TO BLOCK THE REFLECTION THE DRIVER IS CONSTANTLY BEEN DISTRACTED WITH THE SUN REFLECTION OF THE MIRROR LIKE TRIM THAT IS SHINNING IN THE DRIVER'S EYES.

THIS VEHICLE LACK PROPER LOAD RESTRAINTS SO THAT OBJECTS PLACED IN THE CARGO AREA DO NOT FLY ALL OVER AND HURT PASSENGERS IN CASE OF SUDDEN STOP OR ACCIDENT. CARGO NETTING HAS VERY POOR SIDE ANCHORS AND LACKING FLOOR ANCHORS.
