NHTSA Complaint #10575825 — 2010 GMC ACADIA

THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I'VE BOUGHT THIS TRUCK LAST YEAR. RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT IT, I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING BOX REPLACED ($1200.00) SINCE THEN, WHILE DRIVING MY STEERING GETS HARD TO TURN EITHER WAY AND THE ENGINE EVEN STOPPED RUNNING A FEW WEEKS AGO WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE, I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. THE TRUCK ALSO MAKES A POPPING SOUND WHILE TURNING TOO. SINCE I HAVE BOUGHT THE TRUCK, I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS, WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF BUYING IT, I HAD TRANSMISSION LEAK AND OIL LEAK THAT HAD TO BE FIXED. I WANT SO BAD TO GET OUT OF THIS TRUCK. I AM THE SOLE PROVIDER IN MY HOME, SINGLE MOTHER OF 3 KIDS AND THIS VEHICLE IS USED FOR OUR DAILY COMMUTES AND MY JOB. WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO COME TO A STOP THE TRUCK ALSO LUNGES FORWARD A FEW TIMES BEFORE STOPPING COMPLETELY. ALSO WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD THE RPM WILL LUNGE UP FOR NO REASON AND YOU CAN HEAR IT LIKE IT IS TRYING TO SHIFT TO A HIGHER GEAR OR LIKE I HAVE PRESSED THE GAS, WHICH I HAD NOT. *TR
