Consumer Description

NEW 2017 GMC ACADIA DENALI FWD. LESS THAN 100 MILES. HORN DOES NOT OPERATE WITH NORMAL DRIVER PRESSURE UNDER ANY CONDITIONS. REQUIRES EXCESSIVE PRESSURE TO OPERATE, REQUIRING USING BOTH HANDS AND THEN ONLY IN ONE SPOT. GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT, CALLING IT IS OPERATING "AS DESIGNED". THE DESIGN IS FLAWED AND GM FAILS TO ADMIT IT AND TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION. IT IS PAST TIME THAT THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED, AS IT HAS BEEN REPORTED MANY TIMES BY OTHER GMC ACADIA OWNERS AND IS ON RECORD WITH THE NHTSA. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE A FIX IS RELEASED? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE THE NHTSA ACTS ON THIS POTENTIALLY LETHAL DEFECT?
