NHTSA Complaint #10621401 — 2008 GMC ACADIA

WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 GMC ACADIA ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR STARTED SHIFTING HARD, JUMPING, SLIPPING, ETC. THIS CAUSED A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS THIS COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A PARKING LOT AND THEN MY CAR WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE, SO IT HAD TO BE PUSHED INTO THE PARKING SPACE. THE 3-5-REVERSE WAVE PLATE IS BROKEN AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH 2007-2009 GMC ACADIAS, NOT TO MENTION SEVERAL OTHER GM VEHICLES WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION ALSO HAVE THIS ISSUE. IF THERE ARE THAT MANY VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, THIS PROVES THERE IS A MAJOR DEFECT WITH THIS PART AND GM SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. THIS PROBLEM CREATED AN UNSAFE DRIVING EXPERIENCE FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY WHILE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY THAT POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS AND HOLD GM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE PART. *TR
