NHTSA Complaint #10593278 — 2014 GMC ACADIA

VEHICLE JERKS AND LURCHES WHEN SLOWING TO TURN A CORNER, THEN ACCELERATING, ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING LEFT. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO DOWNSHIFT, BUT PAUSES, THEN JERKS INTO GEAR WHEN UPSHIFTING WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO TURN A CORNER (APPROX. 10-15 MPH), THEN PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE LURCH USUALLY HAPPENS BETWEEN 15-20 MPH. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT. THEY MENTIONED THAT IT COULD JUST BE THE VEHICLE "LEARNING," BUT IT NOW HAS OVER 4000 MILES ON IT. THEIR LATEST THINKING WAS THAT IT WAS A PROGRAMMING PROBLEM, BUT THEY SAID THAT GMC HAS NOT CREATED A SOFTWARE FIX FOR THE PROGRAM, AND THEREFORE THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE, SO I SHOULD JUST KEEP DRIVING IT. I'VE CONTACTED GMC, BUT THEY JUST REFER ME BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. THERE ARE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM ON WWW.ACADIAFORUM.NET. *TR
