Vehicle stalls intermittently. Due to an earlier recall of the same model but not including the one I own. There is electrical shorting inside the fuse box in the ignition circuitry that causes this problem. This is a huge problem as there is no preemptive warning. Whether you're driving 5 mph or 55 mph it happens suddenly and without any warning. The incident is stored in OBDII codes. There are no warning lamps until after 5he vehicle stalls out. #PIT5643.

I have many problems with this vehicle, numerous times. Inaccurate Fuel Gauge Reading- It has resulted in my vehicle running out of fuel and stalling, while on road. I have 4 children who are at risk of danger while in vehicle.The fuel warning light has illuminated when the gauge needle says I still have more than plenty of amount (a quarter of a tank or more at times. It differs). It was diagnosed with an electrical and fuel system failure. Electrical shorts and problems- Having electrical shorts on and off. Check engine light comes on/off Vehicle randomly failed to start. My vehicle was difficult to start and would require several attempts before starting. Power lock/unlock key fob doesn't work, replaced battery multiple times.windows and sunroof power windows do no work. Radio and dash turn off and restart. Check airbag light has been coming on and off. Power Train intermittently, the transmission shifts with a loud thump, at various speeds. Vehicle starts shaking and jerking while shifting gears and going different speeds. My vehicle slows down, power reduce engine and steering difficult at times. Other/ water leak- Found water in all of my tail light assemblies, headlight assemblies, sunroof and windows leaking. There is no proper seal or has worn off, causing leaks in and repairs for many replacements, which are expensive temp fixes with no permanent solution. Causes accidents by not having necessary working equipment for driving conditions. Other:Hood doesn't latch and stay open so difficult to even check fluids properly alone. Multiple dealers have inspected problems, and needs to be fixed. There are recalls out for many of these problems and my vehicle needs to be on the list for serious safety issues.

Transmission slips, shifts hard, and RPM gets high before shifting.
Nothing has happened yet, however this recall has been known for almost a year and GM is not working to resolve the issue. They only state that there is no ETA on the remedy. The agent also lied to me about when the recall was issued. He told me February of 2024 and my letter was sent and dated June 2023.
Low beams randomly stopped working. All other lights work.

In March 2024 I received a letter from GM saying "that parts are now available to repair your vehicle" relating to the 2023 airbag recall. However, the local GM dealer advised me that while it placed an order for these parts 11 days ago, it still has not received the parts and told me that GM has provided no "ETA" for when these parts would be received. GM has failed to replace the airbag component(s) within a reasonable period of time and as of this writing I have no idea when the parts will truly be available. As a result, our family continues to be at risk from a potentially exploding airbag.

I have taken this vehicle to 2 different mechanics for "stuttering" during driving. Many times it will state a problem with stabilizer and lose power causing me to pull over in traffic as soon as possible. When this happens in snow it has become dangerous. Lately it just stutters without stabilization. No one has been able to find problem and sensors have already been changed. These occur at speeds of 2 mph to 75 mph intermittently
There has been a recall on my vehicle for 9 months and there is still not a resolution from GM. I have called every dealer near me to try and have this recall fixed as it is a major safety hazard. I could be seriously injured or killed if this is not fixed. GM says that do not yet have a resolution and this isn’t okay!
The rack unit is going out. It makes the vehicle suddenly jerk to the left at highway speeds. It could cause a collision if there is a car on the left or a head on collision if on a two lane road. It also increases the amount of force needed to steer at low speeds. I took to the mechanic and was told that it needed to be replaced and would be 2500+ dollars to repair it and that they could not do the repair their only recommendation was to take it to the dealer. So GM is not wanting to issue a recall because it would cost them a lot of money to fix it.

My safety and the safety of my family continues to be at risk due to GM’s failure to resolve this issue nearly a year after the recall was issued. I’ve been patient, but this is unacceptable to still have no timeline for resolution.

There is a recall for airbag system that is still unresolved from May of 2023.
See attached letter for details
I have 2 concerns and issues with my vehicle. 1st is the rear turn signal bulb and housing, I have read forums and researched the issue and many others have had the same issues and concerns, water is getting into the housing and is causing the bulb to blow and can possibly be causing fire/electrical with the wiring. 2nd is the front headlights the plastic round covering that's in surrounding the the glass that the light sits behind is melting and is causing visibility issues as well as potential fire. I can imagine why the plastic would be installed so close to a glass covering that holds heat. I really think that GMC needs to evaluate these concerns not only for safety but also the expense of the turn signal bulb that has been designed and cost over $100 because it couldn't be a simple bulb like most others. Also I have been informed of a recall of the airbag and can't get it fixed because the dealerships haven't been sent the part! I would like to be notified that someone has aknowledged my concern. Thanks

I took my 2014 GMC Acadia into the dealership I purchased it at because my airbag light was on. This was before the recall. I was told at that time that nothing was wrong and and I probably hit a bump and juggled something loose. I paid $190 for that. Now my vehicle is in the shop and I can no longer operate it or sell it because it is deemed unsafe due to this recall. I contacted GMC and there is no remedy for this. It has been 8 months. This is not timely. They would not offer a replacement, refund or a loaner vehicle. I recorded this call and received a case number. I believe this is against federal law. I then contracted the dealership I purchased the vehicle through and they will not provide a rental or repair or replace my vehicle either. N fact, they were trying to get me to do $4,000 in repairs. This may fall under the lemon law and I contacted an attorney. Some people have been without vehicles 8 months now since this recall occurred. This is absurd. I had one vehicle that now I cannot use. I need to be made whole.I have 5 children. Who is responsible? I will not stop until I get compensated. There are a total of 6 recalls out on my car. Only one has been closed. The seatbelt. The other recalls could cause major damage to expensive components like the engine and transmission. The EUC was under recall and was never fixed in my vehicle also. I found this out through a search on kbb.com. This may have in turn caused more out of pocket expenses
called dealer faulkner gmc multiple times while recall was in force they kept saying they would schedule me when part was available found out that recall was over never got the airbag replaced this is a serious safety defect that needs to be fixed please investigate

The air bags safety recall has been out since May and not even an ounce of new information has come out with any updates on when we will be seeing new airbags, it’s very unsafe for drivers to be driving these vehicles and possibly have a fender bender and die because the airbag was faulty. We want an update it should be illegal for any of us to have to wait this long without even an update on a timeline of when the bags will be available because most of everyone who is going to get a new vehicle/trade in is being screwed because of the recall. GMC has had multiple recalls within the last couple of years and I wish I would have known that before but that’s in the past. PLEASE protect us and get them in gear or atleast hire them a marketing team t help with updates.

I have had many problems relating to this vehicle, for only owning it for a year. Inaccurate Fuel Gauge Reading- My fuel gauge is inaccurate.

Passenger Airbag indicator light stays "On" at all times(with or without a seated front passenger) Indicating that "Passenger Airbag is " OFF". Concern that the Airbag System is not functioning properly, thus exposing the front seat passenger to injury in the event of an accident. YES. On 02/24/2023 the vehicle was inspected by an independent service center. Note: a copy of the report/findings is available. The tech determined that two conditions existed; Codes B0023 and B0085. Only my independent service center has inspected/tested the vehicle. On 11/24/2023 I contacted my GMC Dealer to discuss the issue. I was informed of my options. It is my intention to schedule an appointment ASAP. The problem began in January 2023 with the indicator lamp coming on randomly.

There is an open safety recall and GM is unable to fix it. Because of this recall my vehicle is not safe to drive, no dealer or private seller wants to buy or give fair market value for a vehicle with a safety recall that can’t be fixed. I have seen the resale value drop from $12K to less than $2K since the recall. I should not be forced to drive an unsafe vehicle for an unknown amount of time. This needs to have a remedy.

Safety recall N232404980 was issued on my vehicle on May 10, 2023. As of today, October 9, 2023, GMC is still not able to make the repair for the safety recall, which as stated, can result in serious injury or death if the airbag deploys. It has also rendered my vehicle almost worthless. I feel like 5 months is way too long to wait for a safety recall such as this. This is not timely.
