2015 GMC Acadia

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...

HAD CAR SERVICED AT DEALERSHIP 11/02/18 BECAUSE ENGINE LIGHT ON. 11/07/18 STARTED VEHICLE NOTICED RUNNING LOUDER THAN USUAL, WHEN I SHUT OFF VEHICLE, FAN STILL RUNNING. NOTICE GAS HANDLE SEEMS TO FLUCTUATE. STARTED VEHICLE, IT MADE THUMPING NOISE, THEN SHUT OFF BY ITSELF. ENGINE LIGHT ON. STARTED VEHICLE AND IT ACCELERATED/REVVED HIGH. TRIED TO START VEHICLE, MADE CLICKING SOUND BUT NEVER TURNED/STARTED, STRONG SMELL OF GAS. ALL INSTANCES VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC ACADIA EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR, TIRE LINE: FORTERA, AND TIRE SIZE: P255/65/R18 TIRES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN FOR SERVICED, THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED A CRACK ON THE INSIDE ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE. THE TIRE WAS ROTATED BUT WAS NOT REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000. THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000. THE DOT NUMBER WAS 4BXMARDR.

WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY RAINS, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER STOPPED WORKING ON MY 2015 GMC ACADIA DENALI. THE DRIVER'S SIDE SO FAR IS STILL WORKING. THIS OCCURRED AT THE WORST POSSIBLE TIME IN MY AREA OF MASSACHUSETTS. WE WERE EXPERIENCING HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND RAIN DUE TO THE REMNANTS OF HURRICANE FLORENCE. I CONTACTED THE GMC DEALER, THE ASSOCIATE ADVISED IT WAS NOT COVERED. I FEEL THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FAILURE OF SAFETY ON A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. MY VISIBILITY WAS DIMINISHED AND LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE TO HOME. I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHEN OR IF THE OTHER WIPER WOULD FAIL. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED TODAY.

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.

GOODYEAR FORTERA HL P255/65R18 109S TIRES - MY CAR WAS PARKED YESTERDAY FOR A SHORT TIME WHEN THE REAR RIGHT TIRE DEFLATED FOR NO REASON. THE SPARE WAS PUT ON THE CAR AND DRIVEN 10 MILES HOME. TODAY THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE TIRE REPAIR SHOP TO BE LOOKED AT BECAUSE THERE WAS A STRAIGHT CRACK IN THE CENTER OF THE TREAD. AS THE CAR WAS SLOWED DOWN TO TURN IN THE TIRE SHOP THE LEFT TIRE "POPPED" AND DEFLATED. UPON INSPECTION OF THIS TIRE, THE SAME STRAIGHT CRACK IN THE CENTER OF THE TIRE IS CONFIRMED. GOODYEAR RECALLED THIS TIRE FOR THIS SAME ISSUE AND THE TIRE NEEDS INVESTIGATED FOR ADDITIONAL PRODUCTION TIMES.

THIS COULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED UNDER WARRANTY, BECAUSE AT THE TIME I HAD LESS THAN 36,000 MILES BUT THE CAR WAS AT 38 MONTHS WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WENT OUT AND BLOWING WARM AIR WHEN THE SUMMER TIME TEMPS WERE IN THE 90S. I TOOK IT TO MY GMC SERVICE DEPT AND WAS TOLD THE EVAPORATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PROBLEM WAS IT IS A LABOR INTENSIVE REPAIR THAT REQUIRES REMOVAL OF THE DASHBOARD TO GET TO THE EVAPORATOR. $1500 LATER I NOW HAVE COOL AIR IN THE CAR I PAID $40,000 FOR. AFTER THE FACT I DECIDED TO SEARCH THE WEB TO SEE IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM, AND IT WAS. BARELY 3 YEARS OLD AND THE AIR CONDITIONER NEEDS MAJOR REPAIR?? GMC SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES! I HAVE A 13 YEAR OLD CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WITH 168,000 MILES AND THE AC WORKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. SO, IS THIS THE NEW NORMAL FOR GM? NOT GOOD ENOUGH THAT CARS TODAY COST WHAT YOU COULD BUY A HOUSE FOR NOT LONG AGO.NOW THEY BUILD THEM TO SELF DESTRUCT ONE SYSTEM AT A TIME TO KEEP THE PROFITS ROLLING IN.

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.
