2017 GMC Acadia complaints

ADAPTIVE-CRUISE-CONTROL (ACC)/FORWARD COLLISION BRAKING(AVOIDANCE) SYSTEM APPLIED VERY STRONG BRAKES(TWICE) IN CERTAIN SCENARIO WHEN USING ACC, INCREASING THE CHANCES OF VEHICLE BEHIND REAR-ENDING. WHILE ACC IS ENABLED, SAY YOUR VEHICLE COMES TO FULLSTOP AS VEHICLE IN FRONT HAS COME TO A FULL STOP(SAY AT TRAFFIC SIGNAL) AND ACC APPLIES FULL BRAKES. TRAFFIC AHEAD STARTS MOVING AGAIN, BUT SINCE VEHICLE WON'T MOVE ON ITS OWN DRIVER IS REQUIRED TO PRESS ACCELERATOR TO GET IT MOVING AGAIN OR ACC TO RESUME ITS OPERATION (THIS IS BY DESIGN). IN SUCH SCENARIO IF DRIVER ENDS UP PUSHING ACCELERATOR A BIT HARDER(I.E. MORE THAN JUST TAPPING IT), ACC APPLIES VERY STRONG BRAKES STOPPING VEHICLE RIGHT THERE. BY THIS TIME VEHICLE BEHIND YOU HAS STARTED MOVING ALREADY AND MIGHT REAR-END DUE TO ABRUPT STOP. I GUESS ACC THINKS DISTANCE BETWEEN YOU AND VEHICLE AHEAD IS VERY LESS AND THINKS ITS GOING TO COLLIDE AND HENCE APPLIES STRONG BRAKES. BUT THIS IS A BAD DESIGN/PROGRAMMING SINCE IT EXPECTS DRIVER TO PUSH ACC. PEDAL FOR ACC TO RESUME OPERATIONS, BUT IF DRIVER DOES IT BIT MORE THAN WHAT ACC LIKES, THERE IS A CHANCE OF ACCIDENT. GM SHOULD PERFORM MORE TESTS WITH ITS ACC AROUND SUCH SCENARIOS AND FINE-TUNE THEIR ACC SOFTWARE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN DID NOT FUNCTION UNLESS AN ABNORMAL FORCE WAS EXERTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO DEALERS WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT IT TOOK AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF FORCE TO GET THE HORN TO WORK. THERE WAS NO REMEDY FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,800.

THE HORN TAKES A LOT OF FORCE TO HONK OR ENGAGE THE HORN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE TECHNICIAN SAID, "IT WAS BY DESIGN". TO ME THIS IS A FLOW AND IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN TO ME AND MY FAMILY.

THE 2017 GMC ACADIA DOES NOT HAVE ANY TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS THAT ARE VISIBLE ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE TURN INDICATOR IS EMBEDDED IN THE HEADLIGHT AND IS NOT VISIBLE TO VEHICLES ALONG SIDE OR PERPENDICULAR TO THE ACADIA.

HEARING RATTLE SOUND FROM 2ND AND 3RD ROW FROM DAY1 FOR 2017 GMC ACADIA DENALI. PRIMARY SOURCE SEEMS(SOMETHING INSIDE) SEATS IN 2ND ROW AND MAY BE 3RD ROW. RATTLE CAN BE HEARD WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS OR BAD ROAD PATCHES ON USUAL CITY ROADS. SEEMS WHENEVER VEHICLE GOES OVER A BAD ROAD PATCH, 2ND/3RD ROW SEATS VIBRATE A LOT AND RATTLE SOUND CAN BE HEARD. SOMETIMES I CAN HEAR SLIGHT RATTLE FROM AROUND PASSENGER SIDE 1ST ROW DOOR AS WELL.

THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT SEAT HAS SOMETHING LOOSE UNDER THE LEATHER. THERE IS SOMETHING THAT MOVES WHEN YOU GO AROUND TURNS OR STOPS. IT ALSO MAKES NOISES AND POPS.
