NHTSA Complaint #11184602 — 2009 GMC ACADIA

BOUGHT THE CAR ON FEB. 28, 2018. FOUND OUT ON JANUARY 23, 2019 THAT IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. THIS IS NOW THE 2ND GMC ACADIA WE BOUGHT IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS THAT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. THAT IS NOT RIGHT. WE HAVE NOW SPENT OVER $20K FOR TWO CARS WE CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE A WORKING CAR. THE LAST CAR I BOUGHT WAS A 2010 GMC AND I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AND SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE. LATER IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINED DIED - THERE WAS NEVER EVER WARNING LIGHTS OR WARNING THAT THERE WAS TROUBLE WITH THE CAR. BOTH CARS HAVE THE 3.6L SIDI VG ENGINE. OUR AUTO PLACE SAID THEY ARE HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING THAT ENGINE BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE NEED THAT ENGINE FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. CAN NOT BE A COINCIDENCE. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC AND THEY DON'T CARE.
