2009 GMC ACADIA Electrical System Problems

The stabilizer/traction control keeps going off and it will stay off.i can turn,hit a bump or start it up and the traction control/stabilizer system is off.i almost had a accident on the freeway in the rain because it turned off out of nowhere and I almost lost control

Stabilitrak system in 2009 gmc Acadia randomly acts up disabling abs system and traction control. Also randomly get a low oil pressure warning light but oil level, temperature is fine and no noises smoke or performance decline. Used different scan tools to read codes and the vechile has none listed. Changed numerous sensors and the problem is never resolved

The contact owns a 2009 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that while his wife was driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled and lost motive power. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact was unable to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to a certified mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that a fuel module had failed and needed to be replaced. The dealer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V614000 (Electrical System) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage 148,000.

The wire harness corroded , and it caused everything in my car to stop working my back passenger window won’t go down , my back driver side cannot be put up or down from the back , my airbag light is now on and now my car will not shift while driving to allow me to drive it over 30mph .. I’ve paid the dealer almost $1400 to fix wiring. I’ve owned the car exactly a year now

The sunroof has leaked into my passanger floor making my car battery full of water legit my whole battery is under water! This is the second time the sunroof has leaked ! I still don’t understand why they would put a battery behind my passanger seat infront of the back seat on the floor this is very dangerous. Second I still have no clue why this car has no recalls because if you look this car up it has so many problems it’s a lemon car for sure I had to put a catalytic converters in my car three times the same one three times and then the last time I changed all three of them when only one needed to be changed! I have cruise control stable track and wheel speed sensors lights on my car that I have changed everything possible to fix the light won’t come of I changed all the wheel speed sensors and the light with still not come off the dash I’m still very confused on to why there are no recalls on this vechile all these problems I’m telling your are all on google that this same suv other people have have the same issues I’m having

1.)What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? A.) To start with i went in to the dealership for a timing chain recall they said the work was performed. This was never done all they did was replace ECU from an older car so that the code would not come back (REPLACED WITH A 2002 ECU) to get rid of the timing chain recall code. this code never existed in 2002..Complete negligence these SUV could hurt or kill someone B.)Huge Electrical issue suv stops on its own while driving. Sometimes does not start at all. can not pass emission for the life of it .. new codes all the time i have replaced just about Every sensor and switch there is.. . this is a money pit and death trap.. C.) The Investigation NHTSA should have included the Lambda Frame it's the same design flaw they're trying to fix one problem with an old problem. The ones on these have this fixed tie rods, lateral arms and upper control arms the bushings will wear out eventually and repeat the bouncing up and down rocking back and forth rear end barely staying on the ground it's a very dangerous ride and you see these vehicles on the expressway on a daily basis you look at them for what you know now I get really nervous seeing these vehicles. Arcadia rollovers Call it what you will it's the same problem the needs a total redesign it's defective anyway you look at it. Just looking to how many Roll over there are with this body frame and suspension it's got its own self-contained pit maneuver. I believe GM is aware of these issues that's why they're giving everybody a hard time to fix it they run and say something else. Looks like we're getting back to too big to fail. D.) What makes this vehicle even more unsafe and very dangerous is the fact that the reluctor wheel can slip. This will sundown false DTC codes thinking that problems exist other places spending lots of money an unnecessary work when along GM knew about this problem once again.

I GO THROUGH HEADLIGHTS EVERY 6 MONTHS THIS LAST TIME, MY DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT GOT REPLACED AND TWO DAYS LATER IT WENT OUT AND THE GLASS WAS SHATTERED. I WENT AND GOT NEW BULB AND IT DID NOT WORK, AFTER INSPECTING THE THE WIRING WE NOTICED IT WAS BURNT UP AND NEED REPLACED, GMC SAID IT'S ON US. WE HAVE SPOKE WITH GMC ABOUT OUR ENGINE BURNING OIL WHICH THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF AND THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO HELP BUT GMC REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING MY CAR SEND A SIGNAL TELLING ME TO TURN OFF THE CAR OR STARTS MISS FIRING EVERY WHICH WAY AND GIVES CODES SAYING I NEED NEW COILS WHICH IS NOT THE CASE. THE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES OFF SAYING THAT THERE IS SOMEONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE THE CALIBRATION GET OFF, IT TOOK MCDANIEL'S TO FIGURE IT OUT THE OTHER DEALERSHIP BLAMED IT ON ELECTRONICS. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID NO LONGER COMES OUT PROPERLY AND NEEDS SOMETHING REPLACED SO THAT IT WILL GO UP ON THE WINDSHIELD.

Mileage: 112,000

MY FUSE BOX MELTED AND CAUGHT ON FIRE

I'VE HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE RADIO. EVERY SINGLE TIME IT RAINS THE SPEAKERS GO OUT. NOTICED THERE WAS WATER IN THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS ON ALL THE DOORS WHICH ALSO AFFECTED MY WINDOWS FROM GOING UP AND DOWN. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE TRANSMISSION IS SHOT NOW. WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE, STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, AND WHEN IT TURNED GREEN, I HIT THE GAS. MY CAR DIDN'T GO. I KEPT MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF PRESSURE AND IT STARTED TO GO, BUT AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT JUST KICKED REAL HARD INTO FIRST GEAR. FELT LIKE SOMEONE REAR ENDED ME. EVERY TIME I STOPPED IT KEPT DOING IT. TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND APPARENTLY I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND TIMING CHAIN. THE CAR IS ONLY 10 YEARS OLD AND I BOUGHT THE CAR 5 YEARS AGO FROM GUNN HONDA. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO START AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT CALLED COOPER BUICK GMC (LOCATED AT 500 N 18TH ST, MONROE, LA 71201, (318) 450-6835) AND INFORMED THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 GMC ACADIA. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE ONSTAR UNIT CALLED THE POLICE WITHOUT THE CONTACT PUSHING THE BUTTON. THE POLICE ARRIVED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE ONSTAR WAS STILL GOING OFF AND SENDING A SIGNAL TO THE POLICE. ONCE THE POLICE LEFT, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, BUT NOTHING WOULD TURN ON AND THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE DRIVEN. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

I LEASED MY 2009 GMC ACADIA ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO, IT HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE. I BOUGHT AS IS SO DEALER WOULD NOT RETURN MY CALLS THAT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH PROBLEMS. FIRST, NOT EVEN 3 WEEKS AFTER I LEASED THE VEHICLE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED TO GO, MY DRIVER WINDOW STOPPED WORKING, MY BACK HATCH WELL I CAN'T EVEN OPEN IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO KEY TO OPEN NOR IS THERE A BUTTON ANYWHERE THE MECHANICS SAID I NEED TO TAKE IT TO AN ELECTRICAL MECHANIC...WONDER HOW MUCH THAT WILL COST?, MY STABILTRAK SYSTEM CONSTANTLY FLASHES. THE ENGINE BURNS UP TOO MUCH OIL EVEN AFTER AN OIL CHANGE WITHIN 3WEEKS I NEED TO PUT OIL, I DO NOT DRIVE FAR NOR ALOT. TO WORK AND BACK. IT WILL COST MORE TO FIX THIS TRUCK THAN WHAT IT IS WORTH NOW I'M STUCK WITH $5,000 LEFT ON A VEHICLE THAT IS A PIECE OF POOP. WHEN I DRIVE THE TRUCK PULLS AS IF THE ENGINE CANNOT GET THE TRUCK GOING. I CAN'T TURN OFF THE TRUCK WHILE PUTTING GAS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WONT TURN OVER ONCE THE GAS HAS BEEN PUT IN AND STARTED. THE MECHANIC SAID ITS THE TRANS EVAP SYSTEM. I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW GMC CAN GET AWAY WITH MANUFACTURING VEHICLES LIKE THIS WITH NO CONCERN FOR THE CUSTOMERS.

I OWN A GMC ACADIA 2009. I PURCHASED IT IN MARCH OF 2018 WITH 136,402 MILES ON IT. FIRST THAT WENT WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, SECOND MY STABLILTRAK SYSTEM AND TRACTION SYSTEM SAID MY BREAK WAS ON WHEN IT WASN'T, THRID WAS MY RIGHT REAR TIRE PRESSURE WAS "LOW" AND IT WAS NOT AND FOURTH MY BATTERY STARTED GOING LOW WHILE DRIVING IT. WHILE I NOTICED ALL THESE MAJOR ISSUES I NOTICED MY RADIO DOESN'T WORK RIGHT, THE LEFT SIDE OF MY CAR HAS NO VOLUME IN THE SPEAKERS AND MY LIGHTS AREN'T WORKING RIGHT. ONE BULB ON FRONT IS OUT AND I NOTICED THEY WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF WHENEVER THEY WANTED AND THEN NEVER AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER. THE BACK ON JUST FILLED WITH WATER FOR NO REASON AND BURNT MY BULBS OUT BEFORE I REALIZED IT WAS FILLED TO THE TOP. I'VE OWNED IT FOR 6 MONTHS AND ALREADY HAVE THOUSANDS WORTH OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS.

MY 2009 GMC ACADIA WAS SITTING IN MY MOTHERS DRIVEWAY, WHEN A NEIGHBORHOOD CAME AND SAID MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. IT WAS NOT RUNNING AND NO SIGNS OF ARSON. THE VEHICLE INSIDE ALMOST COMPLETELY BURNT, WITH MOST OF THE DAMAGE BEING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, STEERING WELL, DOOR, AND DASHBOARD. THE SUV LITERALLY JUST CAUGHT FIRE IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE CLEVELAND FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND HAD TO PUT THE FLAMES OUT. AFTER RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THERE WAS AN RECALL IN 2010 FROM GMC NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V240000. HEATED WINDSHIELD MODULE SHORT CIRCUIT. THIS RECALL WAS FOR 2007-2009 GMC'S

Mileage: 130,000

THE CASINGS TO THE SEATBELTS IN THE 2ND ROW HAVE COME OFF ALONG WITH A LOT OF OTHER PLASTIC CASING SUCH AS THE FLOOR VENT IN THE BACK, THE FRONT SEAT RECLINING KNOB AND OTHERS. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RELATED TO THE SPEAKER WIRES AND THE POWER DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOWS ARE DYSFUNCTIONAL. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON NOT SURE IF IT IS FROM THE RECALL

STARTING IN WINTER, 2013, CYLINDER ENGINE COILS CORRODED, REPLACING #5, THEN #2 11/20/14, THEN #1 2/24/15, THEN #1 AGAIN 3/31/16, AT WHICH TIME #1 WAS FULL OF WATER. 10/6/15: PARKING BRAKE ALARM COMES AND ALARMS CONSTANTLY WITH RAINING OR AFTER A RAIN . CAR MOSTLY GARAGE KEPT, SO A DELAY IN SYMPTOMS COMPARED TO BLOGS. SUNROOF,WIND SHIELD ,PARKING BRAKE NO LEAKS FOUND. CYL 1,3,5 MISFIRE CODES& CAT REPLACED. 2/2/16: CAT CODE AGAIN, NOT REPAIRED. SEPT.2015- RAIN ENTERING PASS.&DRIVER AT FEET DRIVING. RUST NOTED UNDER LEFT HOOD BOLTS. HOOD HYDRAULIC STICK FAILED.

Mileage: 85,000

EVERY TIME IT RAINS WATER ENTERS IN TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THE VEHICLE FROM AN UNKNOWN LOCATION AND CAUSES PROBLEMS. IT DRAINS THE BATTERY, SHORTS OUT THE RADIO AND DIRECTIONAL SIGNALS AND SOUNDS. IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO CONTINUOUSLY RUN EVEN WHEN THE KEY IS REMOVED. MY MECHANIC CLEANS OUT THE SUNROOF DRAINS EVERY 3,000 MILES KNOWING THAT COULD BE A CAUSE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS. AFTER EVERY RAIN MY WIFE OR I HAVE TO REMOVE THE WIRING HARNESS THAT CONNECTS THE REAR DOORS AND THE BODY TO DRAIN THE WATER THAT HAS GATHERED IN THE RUBBER BOOT. THERE IS ALSO WATER THAT OCCASIONALLY FALLS ON THE FOOT OF THE DRIVER FROM UNDER THE DASH WHILE DRIVING, AGAIN FROM AN UNKOWN LOCATION. MY ASSUMPTION IS THE WATER IS ENTERING WHEN IT IS STATIONARY AND MOVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING SENSOR ILLUMINATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SERVICED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 135,149.

WE'VE HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES BEGINNING ABOUT 2 YEARS AFTER BUYING THE ACADIA. CURRENTLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. WE HAD IT CHECKED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THE PROBLEM WAS PROBABLY PART OF THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. WELL, IT WASN'T. NOW THE STEERING IS DIFFICULT (AND LOCKS UP AT LOW SPEED TURNS) AND THE STABILITREK MESSAGE COMES ON. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT WE NEED TO PAY FOR REPAIRS TO SERVICE THE BRAKE SYSTEM, STABILITREK MESSAGE, REPLACE THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER, AND REPAIR THE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM LIGHT AND SENSOR. THEY THINK THIS MAY FIX THE STEERING ISSUE, BUT IF NOT THEN THEY'LL LOOK MORE INTO THAT! I KNOW THERE ARE AT LEAST 195 SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THIS YEAR MODEL ACADIA. WE BOUGHT IT NEW. IT'S SEVEN YEARS OLD WITH LOW MILEAGE. THEY SAID IT ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE EXCEPT IN TOWN AT LOW SPEEDS. I FEEL LIKE WE'RE BEING GIVEN THE RUN-AROUND BY GM VIA OUR DEALERSHIP. IT'S NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT (OTHER THAN KNOCKING OFF THE SIDE MIRROR UPON EXITING THE GARAGE), AND IT'S NOT DRIVEN IN A ROUGH-SHOD MANNER. UGH! I'VE OWNED SEVERAL VEHICLES, NEW AND USED, AND NEVER HAD TROUBLE LIKE THIS. MY DAUGHTER IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THE ACADIA, SO SAFETY IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE.

MY CAR COMPLETELY DIED WHILE DRIVING IT A FEW MONTHS BACK. JUST GOT IT BACK AFTER ABOUT 3 MONTHS, PARTIAL SUCKY DEALERSHIP, PARTIAL BACK ORDER ISSUE. TURNS OUT THE SUNROOF LEAKED INTO THE DASH. HAD TO REPLACE THE BODY HARNESS AND SOMETHING WITH THE DASH. $5100. I ESTIMATED ON THE DATE IT HAPPENED BECAUSE IT'S BEEN AWHILE.

Mileage: 103,000

MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING ON A SIDE HIGHWAY, AND WAS UNABLE TO BE JUMP STARTED. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND FOUND THE ECM WAS BAD. MECHANIC CALLED DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS TO PRICE AN ECM, AND WAS TOLD BY EACH DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. HE WAS INFORMED THAT EVEN WITH A NEW ECM INSTALLED, IT MAY GO OUT IN ANOTHER YEAR.

Mileage: 103,000

2 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE USED I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE IGNITIONS COILS, SO MANY RECALLS AND ONLY HAD SOME REPLACED CUZ OF BEING TOLD THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART IN STORE AT THE DEALERSHIPS. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FOR HEAT AND A/C DON'T MATCH UP WHEN TURNING THE KNOB AND THE DEFROST DOESN'T WORK 3/4 OF THE TIMES. I GET FLASHES OF LOSS POWER AND MY TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM KEEPS ACTING UP. NOW MY ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ARE FAILING AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT IT IS WITHOUT PAYING $5000 FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSTIC IT AND TAKE IT APART!! WHERE DO I HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY?? THIS VEHICLE WAS THE WORST $16000 I HAVE EVER INVESTED IN AND HAVE ONLY HAD IT LESS THAT 2 YEARS!! I AM SCARED ON A DAILY BASIS TO DRIVE MY KIDS ANYWHERE IN IT LET ALONE MYSELF TO WORK. I SO WISH I WOULD'VE KEPT MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BUT WE NEED MORE ROOM FOR TRAVEL. WELL YOU CAN'T TRAVEL IN SOMETHING THAT'S UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE. GMC WON'T CALL OR RESPOND BACK AND EITHER WILL THE DEALERSHIP. LEMON LAW IN MICHIGAN IS FOR NEW VEHICLES ONLY SO I AM BASICALLY PAYING FOR SOMETHING I CAN'T DRIVE AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX. WHAT DO I DO??

I HAVE CONTINUED TO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE STEERING IN MY ACADIA. WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND DESCRIBED THE NOISE IT WAS MAKING AND THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL AND IT WAS JUST THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE KICKING IN. NOW THE STEERING IS COMPLETELY OUT. WE WERE IN A BUSY PARKING LOT WHEN IT HAPPENED AND ALMOST HIT A PEDESTRIAN AS THE STEERING WENT OUT AS WE WERE TURNING LEFT. THE CAR WAS MOVING SLOWLY AT THE TIME. I AM NOW SEEING SEVERAL FORUMS WHERE OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THERE IS EVEN A PENDING LAWSUIT. THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRIC WHERE THE SAFETY POWER LOCKS DO NOT WORK. MY SON HAS OPENED THE DOOR WHEN THE CAR WAS MOVING BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAVE HAD 5 RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE, SO IT'S HARD TO KEEP UP WITH ALL THE ISSUES.

I TOOK MY 09 GMC ACADIA TO THE GM AUTO TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN NOT FIX UNLESS I PAY THE $2043 TO FIX MY POWER STEERING, BUT I BELIEVE ITS ALL RELATED TO THAT POWER STEERING FAILURE THAT IS COVER UNDER THE GM POLICY. AND ITS THE SAME PROBLEM TO ALL THE ACADIA THAT ARE OUT THERE SO I SUGGEST THE GM TO FIX ALL GMC ACADIA WITHOUT ANY COST TO ALL THE OWNERI IF THEY FIX IT RIGHT WE WOULDN'T COMPLAINT AT ALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS FAILED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE SOCKETS AND HOUSING FAILED TO SUPPORT THE POWER FOR THE LIGHTING WATTAGE, CAUSING THE COMPONENTS TO PREMATURELY MELT. THE BULBS WERE REPLACED MORE THAN TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO RECOMMENDED THAT THE HOUSING BE REPLACED FOR THE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHT ASSEMBLIES. THE FAILURE RECURRED WITH BOTH LIGHTS SHORTING. THE DEALER, PER THE CONTACT'S REQUEST, DISCONNECTED THE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS TO PREVENT THE FAILURE FROM RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND PROVIDED NO REMEDY. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED THE REAR LIFTGATE CLOSING WITH FORCE, WHICH BRUISED HIS HEAD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V415000 (STRUCTURE) BUT WAS WAITING FOR MONTHS TO DETERMINE WHEN THE MANUFACTURER WOULD BE ABLE TO SUPPLY THE REMEDY AND THE PART TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE.

CAR STALLS AS I AM TURNING INTO PARKING SPOTS, TURNING OR GOING AROUND SIGNIFICANT CURVES IN THE ROAD, WHILE IM IN A ROUND ABOUT ETC. LUCKILY I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND IT STARTS BACK UP AND OFF I GO. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS CAR AND I BOUGHT IT FROM A NON GM DEALER. MY MECHANIC IS AT A LOSS AS TO WHAT IS WRONG BECAUSE A) THERE ARE NO CODES THAT ARE COMING UP AND B) THE STALLING IS VERY SPORADIC, IT WILL DO IT TWICE IN ONE WEEK AND THEN NOT DO IT AGAIN FOR 3 WEEKS. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR ABOUT 5 MONTHS AND IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES. I PULLED THE CARFAX AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT DID ALL THE WORK ON IT WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS AND THE DEALER COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO MALFUNCTION WHILE THEY HAD IT IN FOR SERVICING. ALTHOUGH SHE DIDN'T TELL ME EVERYTHING THAT THEY DID TO TRY AND RESOLVE THE ISSUE, I DO KNOW THAT THEY WENT AS FAR AS TO REPLACE THE CYLINDER HEAD HOPING THAT WOULD SOLVE THE ISSUE, BUT CLEARLY IT DID NOT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE, I HAVE ALMOST HIT SEVERAL CARS DUE TO THE FACT THAT WHEN THE CAR STALLS, EVERYTHING LOCKS UP AND YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER ANYTHING.

INCIDENT (FIRST BIG SYMPTOM): BRAKING AND SLOWING TO YIELD SIGN FROM OFFRAMP/ STEERING FELT AS IF IGNITION TURNED OFF AND CAR BECAME MUCH LESS STABLE IN STEERING WITH A STIFFENING AND RATTLING/TAPPING NOISE SOMEWHERE JUST LEFT TO THE CENTER OF THE STEERING WHEEL. ONCE TRYING TO TURN REALIZED THERE WAS NO POWER, THOUGHT THE ENGINE HAD STOPPED RUNNING AND THEN HITTING THE GAS THE STEERING SUDDENLY POPS BACK INTO ASSIST. THIS IS A VERY UNSETTLING FIRST OCCURRENCE THAT I SEE ON MULTIPLE INTERNET SITES HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE AT LEAST 2011 IN MANY DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THIS CHASSIS. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO HAVE KNOWN THIS BEFORE TWO THINGS: 1. BEFORE I HAD MY FOUR DAUGHTERS AND THE NEIGHBORS KID IN MY CAR TO PUT AT RISK OF KILLING THEM ( GM SHAME ON YOU AS YOU THIS PROBLEM EXISTS FOR 4 YEARS) 2. BEFORE THE WARRANTY WAS ONE MONTH OUT OF CONTRACT. THE DEALER STATES THIS IS "UNUSUAL TO THEM', THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF IT HAPPENING AND DO NOT THINK IT IS UNUSUAL THAT A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 58000 MILES ON IT HAS THE ENTIRE STEERING PUMP, GEAR, AND RACK ASSEMBLY BLOW SEALS. REPAIR COSTS ARE QUOTED AT 2000.00. NEED TO REPLACE RACK, PUMP AND SOMETHING ELSE. ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE 56 POSTS RELATING TO STEERING ALONE. SOME OF US DRIVING THESE VEHICLES FEEL THAT BEING ABLE TO HAVE A CHANCE OF PILOTING THE CAR SAFELY MAY BE IMPORTANT. I USED TO THINK MY DAD WAS SILLY WHEN HE WOULD SAY SOMETHING IS A POOR DESIGN, BUT DID THE ENGINEERS ACTUALLY DO ANY TESTING ON THESE VEHICLES? DO YOU TEST THE PROBLEM OR JUST KEEP SAYING IT'S NOT HAPPENING? THANK GOODNESS THIS IS ALL LOW SPEED AND NO ONE HAS DIED YET ( AT LEAST THAT WE KNOW OF). *TR

VARIOUS GM VEHICLES HAVE A KNOWN DEFECT THAT ALLOWS WATER FROM THE SUN ROOF DRAIN TO ENTER THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND MORE IMPORTANTLY ALLOWS WATER TO ENTER THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FUSE BLOCK. THIS DEFECT IS COVERED UNDER SERVICE BULLETIN #08-08-57-003C. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ISSUES THAT ONLY OCCUR DURING HEAVY RAINS AND THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM AFTER THINGS HAVE DRIED OUT SO TO SPEAK. MOST RECENTLY AFTER A HEAVY RAIN, THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AND WHEN REPLACED WITH A NEW BATTERY, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF EVEN AFTER THE KEY WAS REMOVED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT CAN RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH. THE ONLY WAY TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE IS TO REMOVE THE ECM FUSE FROM THE UNDER HOOD FUSE BLOCK. NOT BEING ABLE TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF VIA THE KEY CAN HAVE SERIOUS LIFE CONSEQUENCES IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE THAT SEEMS TO GET WORSE OVER TIME AND ENDS UP WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF.

PASSENGER SIDE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILED. UPON INSPECTION, IT APPEARS THE LIGHT SOCKET ITSELF HAS MELTED AND CAUSED THE WIRING SHIELDING TO MELT AS WELL. ATTEMPTED REPLACEMENT OF THE BULB RESULTED IN THE SOCKET HOUSING CRUMBLING IN MY HANDS. THE DEALER CLAIMS IT WILL COST UPWARD OF $500 TO CHANGE MY LIGHTBULB. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS AND CLEARLY THE FAULT OF GMC, WHO SEEM TO HAVE PURPOSELY DESIGNED THESE BULBS TO OVERHEAD THEIR HOUSINGS, MELT, AND BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE WITHOUT TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. I WANT GMC TO PAY FOR NEW WIRING AND ILLUMINATION. *TR

THE DAYTIME RUNNING BULBS NEXT TO THE HEADLIGHTS OVERHEATED AND MELTED THE BACK OF THE HOUSING THAT THE BULB SOCKET MOUNTS IN THE BACK OF THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A DESIGN DEFECT IN THE SOCKET/HARNESS THAT IS CAUSING OVERHEATING. THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS FOR 2009 ACADIA AND OTHER MAKES WITH THE SAME DESIGN BUT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT CAN CAUSE A FIRE AND ALSO THE LIGHTS CAN SHORT OUT. THE BULLETIN IS #10-08-42-001: LOW BEAM HEADLAMP BULB DIAGNOSIS/REPLACEMENT (INSPECT BULB AND CONNECTOR) - (MAY 14, 2010) . THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

THE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AND GMC QUOTED ME AT APPROXIMATELY $120 TO REPLACE. HUSBAND ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE IT BUT YOU HAD TO TAKE OFF THE WHEEL IN ORDER TO GET TO THE ACTUAL LIGHT. I GAVE GMC THE GO AHEAD TO REPLACE AND THEY CALLED ME BACK AND TOLD ME THAT THE WIRING HAD MELTED AND THAT IT WOULD NOW BE OVER $300 TO DO IT. I TOLD THEM NO AND MADE A COMPLAINT. THEY CALLED ME A FEW DAYS LATER TELLING ME THEY WOULD DO IT BUT I HAD TO PAY $50 DEDUCTIBLE (ASSUMING THEY WENT THROUGH SOME TYPE OF WARRANTY). IT EVENTUALLY BECAME A RECALL AND I AM NOW LOOKING INTO GETTING REIMBURSED FOR MY $50. NOTICED MY CAR STARTED OVER HEATING AND TOOK IT INTO A MECHANIC FRIEND, LET US KNOW THAT THE WATER PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED THIS WAS AT APPROX 45,000 MILES. I DID MY RESEARCH AND THE GMC WARRANTY COVERED THE COST. AT APPROXIMATELY 56-57,000 MILES THE CAR STARTED MAKING A WHINING NOISE WHEN DRIVEN SLOW OR FIRST THING IN THE MORNING WHEN IT WAS COLD. TOOK IT IN TO GMC TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AND IT TURNS OUT THAT THE STEERING RACK HAD A LEAK ON EACH SIDE OF THE WHEELS AND PINIONS, AND POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. QUOTE ALMOST $1500 DOLLARS. I COULD NOT AFFORD THAT PRICE SO TOOK IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC TO SEE IF IT WOULD BE CHEAPER. HE ENDED UP REPLACING THE PINIONS AND RACK BUT SAID THE PUMP DID NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED AND ENDED PAYING $600 OUT OF POCKET. I'M HOPING THAT GMC WILL SEE THAT MANY OF US ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND WILL MAKE IT A RECALL. I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANYMORE GMC VEHICLES. ALL I WANT IS A RELIABLE CAR THAT WON'T BREAK THE BANK. *KB

WIRING HARNESS TO PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT IS DEFECTIVE. THOUGHT BULB WAS OUT BUT AFTER INSPECTION FOUND THE WIRING HARNESS PLUG HAD COMPLETELY MELTED WHERE PLUGGED INTO BULB. ONE WIRE WAS JUST HANGING AND COULD SEE BURN MARKS WHERE IT HAD BEEN ARCING AS IT BOUNCED AROUND. COULD DEFINITELY HAVE CAUSED MUCH BIGGER PROBLEMS THAN DRIVING WITH ONE HEADLIGHT I.E. FIRE, SHORTING WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AND ON AND ON. THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY CONCERN. THESE WERE THE OEM HEADLIGHTS NOT AFTERMARKET BULBS THAT PULL MORE CURRENT SO SHOULD NOT HAVE MELTED THE HARNESS PLUG. *TT

AT APPROXIMATELY 38,000 MILES ON OUR ACADIA, THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT APPEARED TO FAIL. UPON RECONNECTING THE HEADLIGHT, I FOUND IT WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, I FOUND THE WIRING CONNECTOR TO THE LOW BEAM BULB TO BE MELTED AND CRACKED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AS I AM A MEMBER OF AN ONLINE COMMUNITY AT WWW.ACADIAFORUM.NET. MANY OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS SAME ISSUE AND IT IS ALSO A COMMON ISSUE WITH SISTER VEHICLE SATURN OUTLOOK. AS THESE BULBS CAN FAIL AT ANY TIME I THINK IT WOULD BE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CONSUMER TO HAVE THESE WIRING HARNESSES REPLACED EITHER IN A RECALL, OR A TSB. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE BULBS FAILED AT NIGHT WHILE NEGOTIATING A CURVE? REPLACING THE HARNESS IS A HUGE EXPENSE TO THE OWNER IF THEIR VEHICLE IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A SUBSTANDARD PART AND A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE HELP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 GMC ARCADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WIRING FOR THE EXTERIOR LIGHT MELTED AND WOULD NO LONGER ACTIVATE, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT. THE DEALER WAS IN THE PROCESS OF REPAIRING THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 53,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I BELIEVE I HAVE SOME TYPE OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I STARTED TESTING DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS SUCH AS THE DRIVER SEATBELT. I PURPOSELY DROVE SEVERAL MILES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WITH THE SEATBELT OVER ME, BUT NOT ENGAGED AND THE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. MY AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT CAME ONE FOR SERVICE, THEY SERVICED IT, IT CAME BACK ON, THEY REPLACED A SEATBELT COMPONENT, THE LIGHT WAS OFF, BUT CAME BACK ON, THEY DID ANOTHER REPLACEMENT AND THE LIGHT IS NOW OFF. MY FRONTEND WAS MAKING FUNNY NOISE WHEN MAKING TURNS, THEY REPLACED MY RACK AND PINION. MY SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ONE, THEY FIXED IT, THEY CAME ON AGAIN, THEY KEPT MY VEHICLE FOR A DAY AND FIXED IT. THEY ARE BACK ON AGAIN ALONG WITH THE ABS LIGHT AND NOW I'M TOLD THAT I PROBABLY NEED A BREAK JOB. BREAKS WERE NOT MENTIONED THE OTHER TIMES. MY ELECTRONIC KEY PAD DETERIORATED AND NO LONGER WORKS, THEY SAID IT WAS USER HANDLING, MY OTHER KEY PAD IS NOT MALFUNCTIONING, YOU CAN SEE WERE THE PAD IS BEGINING TO SINK IN, BUT THEY SAID IT'S MY HANDLING. THE CASE IS CHIPPED AND THE CHIPPING HAS OCCURRED IN THE SAME PLACE ON BOTH KEY PADS. MY MIDDLE SEAT PASSENGER SIDE CASE CAME APART TWICE, EACH TIME THEY FIXED IT, IT'S NOW BROKEN, AND I WAS TOLD THEY DON'T REPAIR BROKEN PARTS. I AM STILL UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY, BUT GMC WILL NOT REPLACE MY KEY PADS, AND THE SERVICE TECH SAYS HE WILL TRY REALLY HARD TO GET MY SEAT COVERED. THE TINT ON MY WINDOWS HAVE BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES AND STILL IS NOT CORRECT. MY DVD PLAYER DOES NOT PLAY CORRECTLY AND HAS NOT BEEN FIXED SINCE IT'S BEEN IN MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS A 2009 ACADIA. I HAD A LEAK IN THE TRUNK, THEY FIXED THAT. AIR PRESSURE WILL NOT STAY CONSISTENT, WAS TOLD BY SERVICE ADVISOR TO OVER INFLATE TO COMPENSATE, WHICH IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES. TIRE PRESSURE ISSUES NEEDED SENSOR REPLACED AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE IS AN EXPENSIVE PIECE OF JUNK. *TR

THE BATTERY HAS DIED THREE DIFFERENT TIMES AFTER BEING DRIVEN THE NIGHT PRIOR. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE SHOP ONCE WHERE THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG, BUT THE BATTERY WAS LOW, THEY CHARGED IT. THE SECOND TIME (A WEEK LATER) I WAS TOLD THE BATTERY COULD NOT KEEP A CHARGE SO THEY GAVE ME A NEW ONE. NOW THREE MONTHS LATER, IT DIES AGAIN. WAITING TO HEAR WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO NOW. I CAN'T IMAGINE A CAR THAT IS A YEAR OLD CAN GO THROUGH TWO BATTERIES, NEEDING A THIRD.

PURCHASED A NEW 2009 GMC ACADIA, THE NAVIGATION, RADIO AND DVD SYSTEM FAILED. VEHICLE ONLY HAD 405 MILES ON IT. I NOTED THAT THERE WERE 4 ELECTRICAL FAILURES DOCUMENTED IN NHTSA REPORT ON THE ACADIA. THE NAV. RADIO AND DVD ARE POWERED BY THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AS IS THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND FOR THIS REASON I HAVE CONCERN THAT A COMPUTER FAILURE MIGHT OCCUR WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER FOR REPAIR, THEY COULD NOT REPAIR THE FAILED SYSTEM NOR DID THEY EVEN KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM. DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE SYSTEM. NO REASON BY THE DEALER WAS GIVEN AS TO WHY THE NAVIGATION, RADIO AND DVD SYSTEM FAILED. THEY SAID THEY MAY NEVER KNOW WHY IT FAILED. THE FAILED EQUIPMENT WAS TO BE SENT INTO GMC FOR A FAILURE ANALYSIS. *TR
