2015 GMC Acadia

WATER IS COLLECTED WHERE THE AMPS ARE LOCATED NEAR THE DOOR HINGES AND SHORTS THEM OUT. NOTHING THAT HAS A SOUND WORKS AFTER THAT. SO NO RADIO, BACK UP SENSOR SOUNDS, SEAT BELT REMINDERS, BLINKERS, CELL PHONE SPEAKERS, ETC. COSTS ABOUT $1000 TO GET FIXED AND WILL ONLY HAPPEN AGAIN BECAUSE OF FAULTY DRAINAGE. IT HAPPENED AFTER RAINING FOR A COUPLE DAYS. CAR WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND THE SOUND HAS NEVER COME BACK ON. *TR

I HAVE A 2015 GMC ACADIA, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE MODULE TO THE SIDE MIRROR SAFETY LIGHTS TWICE. IT HAS RECENTLY GONE OUT AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THE WIRING IS SHORTING OUT CAUSING THE MODULE TO GO OUT AND THE CAR TO NOT RUN. GMC HAS A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE UNDER 80,000 MILES. MY CAR CURRENTLY HAS 127,000.00 MILES BECAUSE I DRIVE IT A LOT FOR WORK. I CONTACTED GMC AND EXPLAINED THIS HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER AND CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS FIXED AGAIN SO I HAVE NO SAFETY MODULE FOR THE SIDE MIRROR OR PARK ASSIST. GMC KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM AND THAT IT WAS FIXED ONCE UNDER 80,000 MILES, AGAIN UNDER 100,000 MILES AND NOW AT 127,000 IT IS SHORTING OUT CAUSING ISSUES WITH THE CAR TO START AND EVEN WITH DOCUMENTATION FROM THE DEALER WILL NOT FIX THE CAR UNDER RECALL. IF GMC WILL NOT FIX THEIR SAFETY ISSUES THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO MARKER THESE AS SAFETY FEATURES ON THE CAR, ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE AND CHOSE NOT TO FIX THE, *TR

SIDE BLIND ZONE SENSORS FAIL DUE TO WATER INTRUSION - WHICH IS A KNOWN ISSUE. A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT (#N172097060) WAS ISSUED TO REPAIR THIS HOWEVER NOT ALL VEHICLES ARE COVERED IN THE SCA VIN SEARCH - AND ARE NOT BEING ADDRESSED. MY VEHICLE DID NOT FALL WITHIN THE VIN SEARCH AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES DESCRIBED IN THE SCA. THE DAY AFTER THE INITIAL DIAGNOSTIC AND AWAITING THE PART FOR REPAIR I EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN DUE TO THE CORRUPTION OF THE SENSOR. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS SITUATION UNTIL AFTER I RESEARCHED THE SCA. THIS CORRUPTION IS NOTED IN THE SCA, HOWEVER IT ONLY STATES PART OF THE ISSUES YOU MAY SEE. DURING THE SHUTDOWN I WAS LUCKILY NOT IN MOTION, HOWEVER, THE CORRUPTION OF THE GMLAN CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO DISABLE, PASSENGER AIRBAG PRESENCE DETECTION TURNED OFF, TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR MONITORS WERE DISABLED, THE ENTIRE DIC SHUT DOWN, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SHUT DOWN, RADIO AND INFOTAINMENT CENTER SHUT DOWN, DOOR LOCKS MALFUNCTIONED, POWER STEERING SHUT DOWN, POWER BRAKES SHUT DOWN, WINDOWS WERE DISABLED, AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART UNTIL AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES. THERE IS NO PROTECTION BETWEEN THE SENSORS FOR ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE AND THE GM LAN. A SENSOR SHOULD NOT CAUSE THESE ISSUES, HOWEVER IT DOES, AND IT WAS ALSO NOTED IN THE SCA. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THE MALFUNCTIONING SENSORS ALSO CAUSE A POWER DRAIN ON THE BATTERY, PRIOR TO THE DIC REPORTING THE SENSOR FAILURE, WHICH IS A FIRE HAZARD. GM HAS NOT ADDRESSED THE WIDESPREAD ISSUE OF THESE FAULTY SENSORS OUTSIDE THE SCA, NOR THE SAFETY HAZARDS OF THE LACK OF PROTECTION ON THE GM LAN CAUSED BY ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE. IF THE VEHICLE IS REAR-ENDED, THE SENSORS COULD CAUSE CORRUPTION IN THE GMLAN SIMILAR TO THE WATER INTRUSION ISSUE - RENDERING THE FRONT AIRBAGS INOPERABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ARNIE BAUER BUICK GMC (5525 MILLER CIRCLE DRIVE, MATTESON, IL 60443) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BLIND SIDE ALERT WAS DAMAGED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT; HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 5410777277. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,386. *TT *TR

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.

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
