NHTSA Complaint #11189674 — 2013 GMC ACADIA

ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE ENTIRE DASH BLACKED OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN WOULD GO THRU CHECKS AS IT WOULD COME BACK ON. THE MORNING I TOOK IT TO DEALER, THE PROBLEM STOPPED. THEY COULD FIND NOTHING. TWO DAYS AGO WHILE DRIVING VERY SLOW (MAYBE 10 MPH) IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THE DASH BEGAN GOING THRU ITS CHECKS AGAIN. I STOPPED AND WENT INTO A GAS STATION FOR A COUPLE OF MINS, RETURNED AND COULD NOT UNLOCK THE FRONT DOORS WITH MY KEY FOB. GOT INTO THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START, NOR DID IT CRANK (NO SOUND). AFTER TRYING SEVERAL TIMES, IT DID START. O'REILLY AUTO PARTS CHECKED IT AND SAID THAT MY STARTER WAS BAD. THEY DID NOT HAVE ONE IN STOCK. I RETURNED TO THE CAR AND WHEN IT FINALLY STARTED, THE RADIO DID NOT COME ON. AFTER A FEW RE-STARTS, THE RADIO DID COME ON. RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM, AND FOUND A VIDEO ON THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL THAT MENTIONED A RECALL. CHECKED MY VIN, NO RECALL, BUT VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL FIND THE ISSUE AND FIX THE PROBLEM.
