NHTSA Complaint #10457029 — 2008 GMC ACADIA

OUR VEHICLE HAS HAD THE AIR BAG SERVICE LIGHT ON FOR A VERY LONG TIME, WHEN WE GOT THE RECALL NOTICE, WE TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS FINE AND OUR LIGHT WAS CAUSED BY A DIFFERENT PROBLEM. AS TIME HAS GONE BY, IT HAS DONE THE REST OF THE ITEMS LISTED ON THE RECALL SUCH AS ON/OFF LIGHT REMAINING OFF WITH A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT AND NOW IT ACTUALLY FLASHES BACK AND FORTH WITH OR WITHOUT A PASSENGER. OUR POWER STEERING HAS BEEN MAKING A WHINE SOUND SINCE 2009. IT HAS ONLY WORSENED OVER TIME AND NOW HAS DEPRECIATED OUR VEHICLES VALUE FOR A TRADE-IN. WE ARE COMPLETELY DISSATIFIED WITH THE QUALITY OF VEHICLE WE HAVE GOTTEN. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND AN ACADIA BASED ON THE RELIABILITY OF GMC AND THE LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX PROBLEMS THAT ARE OBVIOUSLY ON THE MANUFACTURING END. WE KNOW SEVERAL OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH 2008 ACADIA AND HAVE FOUND MANY FORUMS OF PEOPLE DISCUSSING THEIR ISSUES AND IT APPEARS THAT THE 2008 HAS THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF ISSUES. WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED TO SEEK LEGAL ACTION. *JS
