NHTSA Complaint #10470542 — 2008 GMC ACADIA

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND PRESSED THE GAS AND STARTED TO MOVE THEN WITHOUT THE WARNING THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING. IT FELT LIKE THE CAR HAD BEEN PUSHED INTO NEUTRAL, THE MOTOR WOULD REV BUT IT WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE. TOOK IT TO THE GM DEALER. I WAS TOLD IT WAS ALL SET. FAST FORWARD 2 WEEKS LATER SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED, ALSO MY CAR STARTED TO "BUCK" IN REVERSE. AGAIN BROUGHT TO GM DEALER AND TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. FAST FORWARD 4 DAYS LATER HEADING ON VACATION WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD INT HE CAR. SAME THING HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, WE CAME TO A DEAD STOP. THIS WAS VERY SCARY SINCE I HAD MY DAUGHTER WITH ME AND WE WERE 150 MILES FROM HOME. CALLED GM DEALER I HAD BEEN DEALING WITH AND THEY GAVE ME THE NUMBER FOR THE GM DEALER CLOSEST TO WERE I WAS LOCATED. CALLED THE GM DEALER ON CAPE COD, MA. WAS TOLD TO DRIVE IT THERE AND THEY ARE SO BUSY IT WILL BE DAYS BEFORE THEY COULD EVEN LOOK AT IT. THEY HAD MY CAR FOR 2 WEEKS AND TOLD IT IS FIXED. I CAN TELL IT IS NOT THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL ACTING UP. DUE TO THE INCIDENTS WITH THIS CAR I DO FEEL MYSELF OR MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED WITH FROM THIS CAR STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAYS. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THE VEHICLE I HAVE COME ACROSS NUMEROUS GM OWNERS WITH THE SAME SITUATION. I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN LIFE THREATENING- BY A MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT. I HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP US BECAUSE GM DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING. *TR
