NHTSA Complaint #11300866 — 2014 GMC ACADIA

THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE CONTROL MODULES FOR THE DRIVER SAFETY/ASSIST SYSTEMS AND GM SENT A LETTER INDICATING THAT THEY WOULD REPAIR VEHICLES THAT MET A CERTAIN MILEAGE AND AGE CRITERIA. MY VEHICLE DID NOT MEET THESE CRITERIA. THE FAULT DRAINED MY BATTERY AND I HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED AND THE DEALER INDICATED IT COULD BE $5000 TO FIX ALL THE OTHER ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE FAULTY CONTROL MODULES. AS A RESULT, MY WIFE HAS NOW HAS NO BLIND SPOT MONITORING/INDICATOR, THE FORWARD/REAR CRASH MONITORING/ALERT SYSTEM DOESN'T FUNCTION AND ALL OF THE THE OTHER PROXIMITY/SAFETY SYSTEMS DON'T FUNCTION EITHER. IN ADDITION, OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES ARE NOW STARTING TO SURFACE AND THE GARAGE DOOR OPENER NO LONGER FUNCTIONS. I AM SCARED THAT THIS MAY LEAD TO A SERIOUS ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION, SHORT, OR FIRE THAT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. AS A RESULT, I RECENTLY PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE FOR HER BUT I AM NOW DRIVING THE IMPACTED VEHICLE.
