2017 GMC Acadia

The contact owns a 2017 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that while driving, the A/C unit became inoperable. The next day, while driving at a slow speed and approaching a stop sign, the START/STOP system engaged, and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was restarted. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 51,000.

I put the car in park and the push button start would not let me turn off my car. I sat in the parking lot almost 30 min, putting my car in park, then drive, then park for my car to recognize its actually in park to turn off. I started getting this error on the start and stop at lights... it never turned off during the start and stop but fearing my life or my families life.... I took it to my local GMC dealership and the manager from the Service department said this is a common issue with this model, he has repaired HUNDREDS of them. His words. This is a safety issue.... I am shocked this has not been recalled. The lack of urgency to get this fixed is very concerning. It costs my $708.92 to fix this issue. I 100% think i am owed this money due to something that should 100% be recalled. I found an open class action lawsuit that was confirmed by the dealership to be the exact same issue I had. https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/consumer-products/auto-news/gmc-class-action-alleges-acadia-shift-to-park-defect/

The contact owns a 2017 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that on various occasions, the "Service Side Detection System" warning message was displayed, and the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the Blind Side Zone module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred, and the vehicle lost motive power again and failed to restart. The vehicle was then towed to Brennan Buick GMC (383 State Rte. 3, Plattsburgh, NY 12901) where it was diagnosed that the Blind Side Zone module needed to be replaced again. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred, and the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the "Service Side Detection System" warning message was displayed. The vehicle was not yet taken to an independent mechanic or local dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

Thermostat of the 3.6L LGX engine of General Motors fails. This causes systems to run radiator fan full speed and GMC Certified Service Center said can cause the engine to over-heat and damage. GMC Service center said that entire Thermostat unit (box) needs replacement and due to its location in the engine, it will take 6 hours of labor. They also recommended to flush the coolant and refill. If I google for this issue, its reported numerous times on Acadia forums and seems like a very common issue.

Please have GM also cover costs of folks who have already fixed this issue with their own money, since the cost of fix is very very high. Thanks

4-11-22 Wife and I drove from our house to the corner intersection. She put the breaks on and the pedal went to the floor and the car drifted into the intersection, across the street to a parkin lot and then we costed back to our house and had it towed to the local GMC Dealership. Asked for meeting with District Service Manager as I had paid to have vehicle fixed for my use. 5-3 and 4-22 Customer Service in MI agreed that it was a safety issue but out of warranty for brakes. Ok for brakes to go due to wear. 5-16-22 Gave District Service manager (PIE 0458 dated 3-22-18) which reads: "Brake pedal goes to floor with no external sign of a leak" GM KNEW. District Manager helped financially. If we had been in a car crash and died it would have been labeled we ran a stop sigh not that GM willingly put a possible death trap into the publics hands. Sending this because others may have been misdiagnosed concerning a crash. A PIE was issued but no Bulletin was issued

I started hearing noise coming from the front of my vehicle while driving. The noise would increase in volume with speed and decrease as I got slower. I had a mechanic look at it and he said my Front Right Drive shaft is going. I looked up recalls and this is an existing recall for my same vehicle but does not apply to the AWD versions. Please force the expansion of the recall, as a drive shaft should last the life of the vehicle.
