NHTSA Complaint #10608496 — 2008 GMC ACADIA

SINCE 2011 MY 2008 GMC ACADIA HAS STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY AND STREETS SEVERAL TIMES. THE FIRST MAJOR INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE - THANKFULLY I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED AND REPAIRED. THEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN BY ITSELF AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 25 MPH. THE FIRST TIME GMC COVERED THE REPAIR COST DONE BY A CERTIFIED GMC DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED 20 MILES LATER (WHEN THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY) AND GMC SAID THEY COULD NOT COVER IT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY - BUT IT WAS THE SAME ISSUE. ALL THE TIMES I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE CHECKED, I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT'S TRANSMISSION ISSUES. NOT TO MENTION A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS CAR IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. *JS
