2015 GMC ACADIA Steering Problems

Not inspected by anyone else because they have no idea where to look because the light and actions happen on and off. Warning light and message appears. Service Traction Control and service Stabilink Light yes I will bring it in. It will turn on randomly at this point for about 4 months and the brakes are locking up the wheels while driving.

Complete loss of steering at low speeds. This has been an issue with GM for years, and is still not corrected on my 2015 GMC Acadia. At a stop light or when turning a corner, I could barely turn the steering wheel. GM needs to pay to have this fixed on all vehicles still affected. There is no way I could maneuver this vehicle to avoid a person or vehicle.

The contact owns a 2015 GMC Acadia. The contact stated while making a turn and parking, the steering wheel was hard to maneuver. The contact stated no warning lights were illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the power pump steering needed to be replaced as there were metal shavings found in the fluid. The vehicle was at the independent mechanic awaiting a power steering pump. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 43,000.

Mileage: 43,000

Airbags - I received a service notification that the airbags needed to be serviced. I was told by the dealership there weren’t any outstanding recalls on this vehicle. When I researched myself, I saw that in fact, there is an outstanding recall for the airbags. The dealership is trying to charge me for the repairs on an outstanding recall on this car. If I had not researched on my own, I would be out of pocket hundreds of dollars. I transport myself and children I. This vehicle that I thought was safe. This is concerning. Struts - According to the car fax provided at the time of sale, the struts were replaced at the dealership 3 months before purchasing the car. 2 months later the struts have failed and the dealership will not cover the cost of the repair. There was only a 1,000 mile difference from when the struts were repaired until the time I purchased the car.

My steering rack and pinion as well as my power steering pump have gone out completely potentially put me in harms way By impairing my ability to drive defensively. by greatly reducing the vehicles reaction time . A worn steering rack can cause you to lose partial or complete control over your car steering wheel, which can lead to fatal accident. That goes without saying that steering rack is a major car maintenance procedure and is expensive. When they perform defectively, it can spell trouble and make your steering faulty and unreliable—this is what happens when the rack and pinion goes out. And I believe it goes without saying that the power steering pump is just as an intricate part of your design as is the rack and pinion they go hand-in-hand, and the potentially damage each other. In this case, they both went out.. I believe it’s well documented across many platforms, similar issues with the same model. document to the skyline motors in Rawlins, Wyoming. At the time there was no warning lights are indicators on the instrument panel whatsoever.

While driving my car I have noticed that my steering wheel shakes when I apply the brakes. Also when I turn the wheel the power steering makes a loud noise which is the steering rack box. Steering has gotten worse over time and noise has gotten louder. Praying me and my children do not get in an accident as I have no other vehicle to drive. Also the passenger airbag will randomly turn on and off.

HELLO, WITH ONLY 50,000 MILES ON MY ONE OWNER GMC ACADIA, THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAILED, LEAVING ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD (TOWN STREET, HOWEVER, STILL CONCERNING AS I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT FROM THE FRONT OR REAR). PER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT GMC IS AVOIDING. SINCE THEN, I HAVE NOT DRIVEN CAR ON HIGHWAY FOR FEAR IT WILL HAPPEN AT A HIGHER SPEED CAUSING TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL.

MORE SPECIFICALLY, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING SLOW SUCH AS TRYING TO PARK IT THE STEERING WHEEL WITH LOCK UP. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND LEARNED THE POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED. I CALLED GMC WHO ADVISED THEY WERE AWARE OF SEVERAL REPORTS SIMILAR TO MINE BUT TOLD ME THE PUMP IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE COST TO REPLACE THE PUMP IS IN EXCESS OF $1,000

WHEN SHARP TURNING AT SLOW SPEEDS, HEAR METAL GRINDING. NO LIGHTS ON DASH. CHECK UNDER CAR AND SEE LEAK AT POWER STEERING. NOT LINE BUT IT IS THE PUMP. LEVEL WAS EMPTY BUT NO LIGHTS COME ON. LOOK UP THIS PROBLEM AND SEE IT IS VERY COMMON WITH HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS INCLUDING ACCIDENTS FROM PUMP GOING OUT COMPLETELY WITH NO WARNING. NO RECALL BUT HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR A 2015 VEHICLE IS HORRIBLE. MINE HAS WAY LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON IT. NOW I AM HAVING TO TAKE IT TO BE REPAIRED FOR $1000-$1500 BECAUSE OF WARRANTY NOT COVERING IT AND NO RECALL. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND LIVES ARE AT STAKE BECAUSE STEERING WILL GO OUT COMPLETELY. WE TRAVEL A LOT WITH OUR 3 CHILDREN FOR TRAVEL SOCCER ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS GOING HIGH SPEED LIMITS AND COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED IF WE DIDN'T NOTICE LIKE OTHERS THAT DIDN'T.

VEHICLE STARTED MAKING GRINDING / SQUEALING NOISES WHILE DRIVING WHEN I TURNED. STEERING WAS VERY TIGHT AND HARD TO TURN WHEEL. BROUGHT VEHICLE INTO SHOP AND POWER STEERING PUMP WAS LEAKING. $1,100 DOLLARS LATER MY VEHICLE WAS FIXED AND I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD HAVE LOST MY STEERING ALL TOGETHER IF THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS DEPLETED ANYMORE.

Mileage: 60,000

THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING. I ALSO WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN SUDDENLY. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS BODILY HARM HAD I BEEN GOING AT A SPEED ON A HIGHWAY. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, NO MALFUNCTIONS, THE STEERING WHEEL JUST STOPPED WORKING.

Mileage: 47,000

FOUND LEAKS ON DRIVEWAYS. TOOK IT GET AN OIL CHANGE AND ASKED THEM TO TAKE A LOOK THEY SAID THEY COULDNT SEE ANYTHING LEAKING. JUMP FORWARD 2 MONTHS LEAK IS LARGER ON MY DRIVEWAY FROM A DIME TO SIZE OF A BASEBALL. AND MY STEERING WAS DIFFICULT WHILE DRIVING I HAD NO CONTROL CAUSING ME TO STOP DEAD IN ROAD WITH MY 8 YEAR OLD IN BACK SEAT ...SCARY , MY HUSBAND CHECKED FLUIDS AND PUT IN SOME POWER STEERING FLUID AND IN MORNING FRESH POWER STEERING FLUID WAS FOUND ON CARDBOARD TOOK IT TO A BODY SHOP FOR MINOR BODY REPAIR AND ASKED IF THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THE SEAL POWER STEERING PUMP TO PULLEY IS LEAKING. NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY I HAVE OR POWER TRAIN. COST IS ABOUT 1,300.00 TO FIX I BOUGHT THIS GMC IN FEBRUARY 2019 FROM CARMAX I HAVENT EVEN HAD IT FOR 4 MONTHS BEFORE IT STARTED LEAKING. CARFAX ON THIS HAS NO MAJOR PROBLEMS OF ANY ACCIDENTS. LOOKED UP THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND 16 OTHER PEOPLE THIS SAME MOTH HAVING SAME ISSUES.

POWER STEERING REVERTS TO MANUAL. THIS OCCURS GENERALLY AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN TURNING IN ANY DIRECTION. THIS COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE PROBLEM FEELS LIKE THE STEERING IS LOCKED. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY WE WILL NOT WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE GETS KILLED BEFORE GMC ISSUES A RECALL.

Mileage: 43,250

A FEW DAYS BEFORE MY GIRLFRIEND LEFT WITH THE SUV OUT OF STATE I NOTICED THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCK (ONLY ON THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR) WAS BACK TO MANUAL. THAN THE SAME DAY OF TRIP IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN, BUT ON HER WAY BACK SHE CALLED ME TO SAY THE LIGHT CAME ON FOR SERVICE STABILITRAK, AND TRAC. CONTROL OFF. IT WAS ALSO EFFECTING THE STEERING WHEEL MAKING IT JERK WHILE GOING OVER 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY MAKING IT A SAFETY HAZARD. AFTER RESET JT WAS FINE, BUT VERY ALARMING TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS SUV FOR YEARS TO COME KNOWING IT COULD POP UP AND SAFETY ISSUE AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THIS NEEDS TO B ADDRESSED ASAP! SOUNDS LIKE A GROUND ISSUE. SUV IS 4 YEARS OLD, AND RUST AND CORROSION FREE. MAYBE GM MADE AN ERROR WITH INTERIOR MOUNTED MODULES. ALSO THE VEHICLE WAS COMING OUT OF A SLOWING TRAFFIC AREA ON HIGHWAY AT THE TIME (CONSTRUCTION ZONE) WHEN TRING TO CATCH BACK UP TO SPEED THE VEHICLE REDUCED POWER. (LIMP MODE) THIS SEEMS TO B A VERY COMMON PROBLEM.

POWER STEERING PUMP BEGAN FAILING ON 2015 GMC ACADIA AT 40,000 MILES. AT LOW SPEEDS, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND A 3 POINT TURN HAS BECOME A BICEPS WORKOUT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH KIDS IN THE VEHICLE.

Mileage: 40,000

CAR HAS 40K MILES ON IT. PAST MONTH IT STARTED TO BECOME SO HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL IN PARKING LOTS AND TURNS, THAT WE WERE CONCERNED FOR SAFETY. TOLD POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDS REPLACING.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

I HAVE REPEATEDLY BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY POWER STEERING IN MY 2015 GMC ACADIA. I HAVE SPENT NEARLY $2000 HAVING TWO POWER STEERING LINES REPLACED, AS WELL AS HAVING THE POWER STEERING FLUIDS FLUSHED. NEITHER REPAIR HAS CORRECTED MY PROBLEMS. THE POWER STEERING BECOMES VERY STIFF AT LOW SPEED'S, FOR EXAMPLE IN PARKING LOTS. IN ADDITION THE STEERING IS VERY NOISY AND MAKES A WHINING NOISE AT LOW SPEEDS. MY SERVICE GARAGE INDICATED I MAY NEED A NEW POWER STEERING PUMP (ANOTHER $1500) ... MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES. I'VE SEEN MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND KNOW THAT GM HAS RECALLED SOME OTHER MODELS FOR THIS ISSUE. WHEN WILL THE 2015 ACADIA BE ADDED TO THE LIST?

Mileage: 70,000

WHILE SITTING PARKED, I STARTED THE VEHICLE. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE, PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND AS I WAS BACKING UP THE POWER STEARING WENT OUT. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, WAITED A MOMENT, THEN STARTED THE VEHICLE BACK UP AND THE POWER STEERING PROCEEDED TO WORK AGAIN. ANOTHER TIME, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. SHE PULLED OVER, PARKED, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, BACK ON, AND IT WORKED FINE ONCE AGAIN.

Mileage: 92,000

AUTO HAS 31000 MILES ON IT AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP HAS FAILED. POWER STEERING WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND SOMETIMES FAIL COMPLETELY. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

Mileage: 31,000

AT JUST UNDER 1 YEAR OLD THE RACK AND PINNON WENT OUT. REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THEN AT JUST OVER 3 YEARS OLD IT WENT OUT AGAIN ON TOP OF THAT FOR THE LAST 9-12 MONTHS THE ENGINE WILL REV UP AND ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN AFTER IT WILL CHUG FOR A BIT THEN THE SENSOR STABILITRAK WARNING COMES ON THEN IT WILL SAY TRACTION CONTROL OFF THEN IT WILL SAY ITS BACK ON. I HAVE ALSO HAD IT WHERE IT WILL LOOSES ENGINE POWER AND YOU CAN BARELY GET IT TO GO WHEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. IT'S DONE THIS SERIES OF EVENTS ABOUT 10 TIMES. IT HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING, WHEN IN PARK, AND WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. NO RHYME OR REASON TO IT. BUT IT IS PRETTY UNSAFE WHEN A VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN DRIVING ANYWHERE! NOT TO MENTION THAT A RACK AND PINNON SHOULD NOT GO OUT 2XS IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS LET ALONE ON A VEHICLE THAT COST 45,000+ THAT WAS PURCHASED TO ORDER BRAND NEW! THESE KIND OF COSTLY REPAIRS MIGHT I MENTION AREN'T COVERED UNDER THEIR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, THOUGH RACK AND PINNON IS PART OF THE STEERING COMPONENT. ALSO THIS SUMMER AT LESS THAN 4 YEARS OLD THE AC QUIT WORKING SO I WENT IN 90 DEGREE TEMPS WITH A BABY AND NO AC UNTIL WE HAD A CHANCE TO RECHARGE IT WITH REFRIGERANT.

STEERING NOISE ...NOISE WHINING SOUND COMES FROM STEERING COLUM WHEN THE VEHICLE IN MOTION AT LOW SPEED BACKING WHILE TURNING INTO PARKING SPACE OR ENTERING SPACE..DEALERSHIP @ WINKELLY GMC IN CLARKSVILLE, MD CANNOT SAY WITH ANY CERTAIN WHAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE ...BUT DO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH NOISE FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AND OTHER VEHICLES OF GMC HAD BEEN RECALLED BUT NOT THIS PARTICULAR MODEL....NO WARRANTY...DEALER SUGGEST TO KEEP AN "EYE" ON IT...WAIT UNTIL THE NOISE BECOMES EVEN LOUDER...

ON SEPTEMBER 4, 2018 I WAS GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I HIT A CONCRETE BARRIER. THE OFFICER COULD NOT TURN MY STEERING WHEEL AND THE REPAIR ESTIMATE GUY SAID THAT WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE TO TEST THE STEERING THE POWER WOULD COME AND GO. THE STEERING WOULD BE SOFT AND WHEN TRYING TO TURN, THE STEERING WOULD BECOME DIFFICULT TO OPERATE. MOST OF THE REVIEWS THAT I READ HAVE THE SAME ISSUE BUT THEIR MODELS ARE OLDER THAN MINE. MY ACADIA IS A 2015 WHEN IS THIS SAFETY HAZARD GOING TO BE CORRECTED? IT HAS BEEN 8 YEARS (2007) SINCE THIS STEERING MALFUNCTION WAS DISCOVERED AND MY VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO PRODUCTION AND GMC IS STILL PUTTING PEOPLE AT RISK WITH THEIR CONTINUED USE OF THE SAME STEERING DESIGN, MATERIALS, ASSEMBLY OR WHATEVER IT IS THAT CAUSES THIS MALFUNCTION. SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE IN ORDER TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE.

MY CAR LOST POWER STEERING WHILE I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY AS I DROVE! THE POWER STEERING PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS DEEMED TO BE LEAKING AND FAILING. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM FOR WHICH MODELS 2007-2011 WERE RECALLED. ESTIMATES TO REPAIR ARE ABOUT $1,000. I HAVE LOST THE USE OF MY CAR SINCE JULY 14, REPAIRS ARE SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST 18, 2018. COMPLETELY DISSATISFIED WITH MY DEALER, BOWSER, PLEASANT HILLS, PA. THIS IS THE MOST UMSAFE CARE I HAVE EVER DRIVEN! THE COMPUTER CONTROLS REQUIRE DRIVER TO TAKE EYES OFF THE ROAD TO DO EVERYTHING! VOICE CONTROLS NEVER WORK PROPERLY. COMPUTER SYSTEM HAS BEEN FIXED TWICE THEN FINALLY REPLACED. I TRIED TO RETURN CAR DAYS AFTER BUYING IT AND DEALER REFUSED.

Mileage: 52,000

MY ACADIA LOST POWER STEERING MAKING VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO STEER. I COULD HEAR A WHINING SOUND I'D NEVER HEARD BEFORE. WE TOOK IT TO THE CLOSEST REPAIR SHOP SINCE WE WERE ON VACATION. SERVICEMAN SAID THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS LEAKING AND NOT WORKING PROPERLY. CALLED DEALER, BOWSER, IMMEDIATELY COULD NOT GET AN APPT FOR 5 DAYS. DEALER INSPECTED VEHICLE, CONCLUDED THE PUMP WAS NOT UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AND ESTIMATED IT WOULD BE OVER $1,000 TO REPAIR. SAME PROBLEM AS RECALL ON PREVIOUS MODELS.

Mileage: 51,120

MY FIRST INCIDENT ON MY 2015 GMC ACADIA SLE FWD PURCHASED BRAND NEW WAS THIS YEAR AT 40000 MILES. ONE HEAD LIGHT WENT OUT AND THEN THE OTHER IN WHICH THE DEALER WANTED 400+ BUCKS TO REPLACE. THE LIGHTING IS ACTUALLY BAD FROM THE HEADLAMPS. THEY LIGHTS DO NOT EXTENDED IN FRONT OF YOU TO SEE IF YOU WILL BE COMING UPON ANYTHING AND CAN POSSIBLY RUN IT OVER. MY SECOND ISSUE AT 41000 WAS THE POWER STEERING. ONE DAY I HEARD A LOUD WHINING AS I TURNED THE CORNER ON A CITY STREET AND SUDDENLY THE POWER STEERING STOPPED. I LOOKED IN THE MANUAL AND IT SAYS TO PUT A CERTAIN TYPE OF TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THERE, BUT I HAD JUST HAD A FREE OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALER ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO AND THEY DO NOT TOP OFF ANY OTHER FLUIDS. AFTER PUTTING THE FLUID IN THE POWER STEERING PLACE, I NOTICED A LEAK. COME TO FIND OUT THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS LEAKING ON MY CAR WITH ONLY 41000 MILES. A BRAND NEW CAR PRACTICALLY THAT COST 30,000 SHOULD NOT HAVE ISSUES SO SOON. TODAY, DRIVING TO WORK I ALMOST LOST IT BECAUSE MY CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED JUMPING CODES "SERVICE STABILITRAK; SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL; TRACTION CONTROL OFF; ENGINE POWER IS REDUCE' AND MY SPEED WENT FROM ABOUT 40 TO 30 INSTANTLY. I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET TRAFFIC WHILE THIS HAPPENED AND WAS UNAWARE. JUST THINK, IF I DID NOT PUT ON BRAKES AND WAS GOING AT A CERTAIN SPEED AND THE PERSON BEHIND ME IS AS WELL, AND MY CAR'S SPEED JUST DROP DRAMATICALLY, WHAT TYPE OF INJURIES COULD HAVE OCCURRED. I AM VERY PERTURBED BECAUSE THIS IS THE SECOND GM CAR THAT I PURCHASED WITH DEFECTS AND MY CAR JUST SO HAPPEN TO BE OMIITED FROM ANY RECALLS. I OWN A 2010 CHEVY MALIBU AS WELL AND THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING IN 2015 AND I HAD TO PAY 1300 TO GET IT FIXED, WHILE OTHER CARS WHERE ON RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I'M SO DONE WITH GM!!

Mileage: 41,000

I NOTICED THE OTHER DAY WHEN I WAS TURNING MY STEERING WHEEL IT WAS VERY HARD. NO LIGHT OR WARRING AT ALL. I CHECKED MY POWER STEERING FLUID AND IT WAS FULL. I'M NOT ABLE TO TURN THE WHEELS WHEN I'M NOT PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDDLE. I WANT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE CARS. BECAUSE HE HAS REPLACED TOO MANY IN THE 2015 MODEL. IF I HAVE THEM REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP IT WILL COST ME $1000. THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT, BECAUSE I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL IN TIME. THANK GOD THE OTHER CAR MOVED OUT OF THE WAY. I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN IN MY CAR EVERYDAY.

LEFT VEHICLE PARKED ON INCLINE WITH PARKING BRAKE SET. RETURNED TO VEHICLE, STARTED ENGINE, RELEASED PARKING BRAKE , PUT VEHICLE IN DRIVE. THE GEAR INDICATOR ON THE DASH SHOWED THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE. THE GEAR SELECTOR IN CENTER CONSOLE INDICATED IT WAS IN DRIVE. STEPPING ON GAS RESPONDED WITH ONLY INCREASED RPM. VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL RAPIDLY IN REVERSE. THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING (ALMOST LIKE IT WAS IN PARK). THE VEHICLE WAS NEARLY UNCONTROLLABLE AND ALMOST RESULTED IN SEVERE INJURY AS A COUPLE AND THEIR DOG WERE WALKING BEHIND VEHICLE ON SIDEWALK AT TIME OF INCIDENT. AFTER EXERTING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FORCE ON THE BRAK PEDAL THE VEHICLE STOPPED. I APPLIED THE PARKING BRAKE AND SHIFTED TO PARK. SHIFTED BACK TO DRIVE WITH THE SAME RESULT ROLLING BACK FURTHER NEARLY HITTING A BRICK MAILBOX. I THEN PUT TH CAR IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF RESTARTED AND SHIFTED BACK TO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE THEN PERFORMED AS EXPECTED. VERY FORTUNATE THIS INCID T WAS NOT A DEADLY ACCIDENT. THIS SAME PROBLEM EXHIBITED ITSELF ON LEVEL GROUND ON W PREVIOUS OCCASION BUT WAS DISMISSED AS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES NOW.
