NHTSA Complaint #10991829 — 2008 GMC ACADIA

AS I WAS DRIVING TO PICK MY KIDS UP FROM SCHOOL, MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COME ON INDICATING THAT MY TRACTION CONTROL WAS TURNED OFF. THEN THE STABLITRACK LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER BECAUSE MY VEHICLE FELT LIKE IT WAS MISSING AND ABOUT TO GO DEAD. I CUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND WAITED ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN. THE LIGHTS WERE OFF AND IT RUN FINE. TWO DAYS LATER WHILE ON MY WAY TO WORK THE LIGHTS STARTED TO COME ON AGAIN AND THEN I RECEIVED A MESSAGE THAT THE ENGINE HAD REDUCED SPEED. I MASHED THE ACCELERATOR BUT COULD NOT DRIVE FASTER THAN 20 MILES PER HOUR. THERE WAS A LOT OF TRAFFIC BEHIND ME AND WHEN MY VEHICLE STALLED I ALMOST WAS HIT FROM BEHIND. I'VE CALLED GMC AND THEY WERE NO HELP! THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHER ACADIA OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND A RECALL TO FIX THE ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS FOR YOUR VEHICLE TO STALL OUT ON YOU ON A MAIN HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY ARE NOT SURE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. OTHERS REPORTED TAKING THEIR ACADIA TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVING TO PAY TO REPLACE SEVERAL PARTS AND THE ISSUE IS STILL NOT RESOLVED.
