NHTSA Complaint #10572900 — 2009 GMC ACADIA

AT APPROXIMATELY 90,000 MY ENGINE BEGAN MISFIRING. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP WHERE THEY PERFORMED A FULL TUNE-UP AND REPLACED ALL OF THE PLUGS. HOWEVER, THERE WERE ALSO COILS THAT WERE BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. A WEEK LATER, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE ACADIA WAS MISSING AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER SHOP WHERE THEY SHOWED ME THAT THE PLUGS WERE ALREADY CHARRED AND NEEDED REPLACED AGAIN, AND THERE WAS ANOTHER COIL PACK THAT NEEDED REPLACED. A FEW DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND A CO2 SENSOR WAS GOING BAD SO I REPLACED IT. A FEW DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE GMC DEALER TOLD ME 2 OF THE 3 CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WERE BAD AND NEEDED REPLACED. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND I'M JUST WAITING FOR THE THING TO EXPLODE WHILE I'M DRIVING IT. AFTER READING OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT POWER STEERING AND ENGINE PROBLEMS WITH ACADIA'S, I'M CONVINCED A MAJOR INVESTIGATION INTO THESE VEHICLES AND THEIR SAFETY NEEDS TO BE LAUNCHED BY THE GOV. NOW THERE IS AN AIR BAG RECALL AND IN THE PAST HAVE HAD HEADLIGHT RECALLS, WATER PUMP RECALLS, AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE. THE WHOLE FLEET SHOULD BE DECLARED LEMONS! *TR
