NHTSA Complaint #10690037 — 2009 GMC ACADIA

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE MONITOR TEXT SAYS TO PULL OVER AND TURN CAR OFF. THIS IS DONE AND AFTER 30 MINUTES WE ARE ABLE TO TAKE CAR TO LOCAL SHOP, SINCE DEALERSHIP IS 30 MINUTES AWAY IN SNOW CONDITIONS. AFTER DIAGNOSTICS MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP IS ON DUE TO POOR ACCELERATION, ICE DEPOSITS AND OIL DEPOSITS IN AIR INLET DUCT. DUE TO ALL THE OIL AND ICE DEPOSITS ALL SPARK PLUGS ARE REPLACED, BUT I WAS TOLD IF I DON'T REPLACE THE VALVE COVER WHICH ARE THE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR, I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE PLUGS ABOUT EVERY 15K TO 20K MILES. WHEN I TALKED TO GMC CS THEY TOLD ME TO CALL LOCAL DEALER WHICH IN TURN SAID THEY COULD DO NOTHING FOR ME. I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE VALVE COVERS AT MY EXPENSE. *TR
