2014 GMC ACADIA Unknown Or Other Problems

After I put my car in park my daughter and I were still in the vehicle for a few minutes getting our things with the engine still running. I got out to get something from the back seat, my daughter got out the passenger door and made it to the driver side as I was closing the back passenger door. I was about to get back on the car to get the rest of my things and turn the ignition off but before I could my car was rolling backwards out of the driveway into the street. I was able to jump in the vehicle and put my foot on the brake and the put the gear into Park. There’s no way possible I didn’t put it in Park with me getting out already and my daughter couldn’t have accidentally shift the gear because she couldn’t have been able to...

I have taken this vehicle to 2 different mechanics for "stuttering" during driving. Many times it will state a problem with stabilizer and lose power causing me to pull over in traffic as soon as possible. When this happens in snow it has become dangerous. Lately it just stutters without stabilization. No one has been able to find problem and sensors have already been changed. These occur at speeds of 2 mph to 75 mph intermittently

I have had many problems relating to this vehicle, for only owning it for a year. Inaccurate Fuel Gauge Reading- My fuel gauge is inaccurate. It has resulted in my vehicle running out of fuel and stalling, while on road. I have 4 children who are at risk of danger while in vehicle.The fuel warning light has illuminated when the gauge needle says I still have more than plenty of amount (a quarter of a tank or more at times. It differs). I have taken to many shops, it was diagnosed with an electrical and fuel system failure. Electrical shorts and problems- Having electrical shorts on and off. Check engine light comes on/off Vehicle randomly failed to start with no good reason/cause. My vehicle was difficult to start and would require several attempts before starting. Power lock/unlock fob doesn't work, replaced battery multiple times. My windows and sunroof power windows...

First problem is the trunk door. About a week ago I was getting something out of my trunk and accidently hit the button and the door started to close so i tried to get away from it and somehow my arm got caught and there is absolutly NO sensor to stop the trunk from crushing my arm. Unforunately, i did have some injury to my arm from the trunk coming down and have pictures of the brusing on my arm. A sensor to stop the trunk from closing on a body part or anything for that matter needs to be better made or put in the vehicle. I took pictures of my arm days later because i was in to much pain to take them when it happened. It was not a fun injurying. Saturday night iced it, sunday had to have it elevated because it was so swollen, didnt...

Gas gauge does not read accurately. We have ran out of gas one time due to this issue, resulting with us stalling in the middle of a busy street. Now that that has occurred gas is put into the tank every few days but gas gauge still only registers 1/4 of tank to “Low Range”. MULTIPLE OCCASIONS!

WHEN TURNING ON THE CAR IT IMMEDIATELY GAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, BEGAN VIOLENTLY SHUDDERING, AND RAN "SERVICE STABILITRAK" "TRACTION CONTROL OFF" AND "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" WARNINGS. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND THEY KEEP TELLING US NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE EVEN CALLED GMC SERVICE LINE DIRECTLY AND EXPLAINED THAT THIS OCCURS WHILE WE ARE DRIVING THE CAR AND THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THIS TIME THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND INITIALLY TURNED ON. WE RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT TOOK TWO TRIES BEFORE IT APPEARED TO START "NORMALLY." THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON.

MY ACADIA HAS SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING MULTIPLE TIMES. TODAY, I WAS IN A PARKING LOT PICKING UP A PRESCRIPTION. THE CAR WAS IDLING WHILE I WAS WAITING IN THE PICK-UP LANE AND THEN SHUT OFF. THE DASH REMAINED ON AND GAVE THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS: TRACTION CONTROL OFF, ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SERVICE STABILITRACK. I TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE ONLY TO HAVE THE CAR SHUTTER VIOLENTLY WHILE IDLING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AGAIN AND THEN RESTARTED FOR A SECOND TIME. THIS TIME IT RESTARTED AS NORMAL AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DEALER 4 TIMES SINCE OCTOBER AS IT HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A TURN. THE DEALER SAYS THERE ARE NO CODES IN THE DIAGNOSTICS AND CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM. I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE CAR. I SAW A RECALL FROM 2014 ABOUT AN ELECTRICAL SHORT BUT I DON'T...

TRACTION CONTROL SENSOR TURNS ON-SERVICE STABILITRAK-ENGINE LOSES POWER-CAR DIES WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. TURN THE CAR OFF WAIT FOR AWHILE AND SOMETIMES IT WILL TURN OVER AND EVERYTHING IS FINE. THE ISSUE IS SLOWLY HAPPENING MORE OFTEN AND TAKING LONGER TO START BACK UP.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR BEGAN SHUTTERING AND THE WARNING SYSTEM WENT OFF STATING THE TRACTION CONTROL HAD GONE OFF. THEN IT SAID ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SERVICE ENGINE, AND SERVICE TRACTION. THE CAR BEGAN SHAKING AND IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. UPON RESTARTING THE CAR I RECEIVED A MESSAGE THAT SAID TRACTION CONTROL ON. BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO WHICH THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. AFTER DOING A GOOGLE SEARCH TODAY, I FOUND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN GMC ACADIA AND I AM SHOCKED THAT IT HASN'T BE REPORTED/RECALLED. IN RETROSPECT, I HAVE NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES WHEN I ACCELERATE, THE CAR WILL FAIL TO SHIFT GEARS IN A TIMELY MANNER AND JERK...

TIMING CHAIN/BELT. SUV IS MAKING A LOUD RATTLE WHEN TURNING VEHICLE ON. I GOT THIS ISSUE "FIXED" LAST YEA RIGHT AT 79,000 MILES. WARRANTY PAID FOR IT. 20,000 MILES LATE I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN, RATTLE NOISE, ENGINE LIGHT ON, AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. IT WORRIES THAT THIS WILL BE A MAJOR IF IT GIVES OUT WHILE I AM DRIVING WITH MY KIDS.

WHILE DRIVING COMING TO OUR DESTINATION STOP, AT BOUT 1000FT LEFT, MY 2014 ACADIA JUST STARTED SHAKING, AND MISFIRING AND LOSING POWER. ON THE STEERING COLUMN, THE NOTIFICATION STATES, TRACTION SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WE THEN CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND PUT IN PARK, THEN STARTED DRIVING AGAIN AND WENT OFF AFTER 2-3 MINUTES. THEN POWERED OFF AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS, AND OTHERS OFF.

ENGINE REDUCED POWER. VEHICLE WILL NO LONGER START. I WAS DRIVING AND LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING. I PULLED OVER EVEN THOUGH POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING.HAD CAR TOWED TO CONLEY AUTOMOTIVE, WIMBERLEY, TX. DIAGNOSIS FROM CONLEY SAID FAULTY FUSE BOX. THEY SAID IT WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN PROBLEM. I INPUT MY VIN# ON NHTSA AND FOIND RECALL ON ECM, ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE. WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE DEPT AT CHUCK NASH CHEVY DEALERSHIP , THEY SAID NO RECALLS WERE NOTED ON MY VEHICLE. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET THAT THIS IN FACT IS THE ISSUE WITH MY CAR. HOW DO I ADD MY VEHICLE TO THE SAFETY RECALL?

WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A GMC DEALERSHIP AND THEY CANNOT HELP US. THEY REPAIRED SEVERAL RANDOM PARTS. MINE FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE CAR SEEMS TO STALL IN BETWEEN GEARS. RANDOMLY DRIVING SOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR WILL STALL AND THEN CATCH. SOMETIMES IT IS TERRIFYING. AND NOW WE ARE EXPERIENCING HOT AIR FLOW IN THE CABIN AND THE BACK AIR WON'T STAY ON CONSISTENTLY. IT SHUTS OFF AND THEN ON. IT'S INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING.

THE MODULE FOR THE SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT NOTIFICATION SYSTEM, BACK UP CAMERA, TV'S/DVD'S QUITE WORKING AFTER IT WENT THROUGH THE CAR WASH. WHEN TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC IT WAS SAID IT MODULE WAS FILLED WITH WATER. ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THIS ADDRESS IN APRIL OF 2019 AND NOW OTHER THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE! SIDE MIRROR LIGHTS ALWAYS ON.

GAS GAUGE SUDDENLY DROPPED TO "0" WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE YET IT HAD GAS IN IT.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IN THE DISPLAY INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON AND REMAINS ON FOR SEVERAL DAYS TO SEVERAL WEEKS THEN CLEARS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME THEN REPEATS. HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE WHEN PRESENTING FOR DIAGNOSTIC REPAIRS.

A/C STOPPED WORKING DUE TO THE REAR EVAPORATOR LEAKING CAUSED BY AN INTERNAL PART BLOWING OUT BRUSH DUST CONTAINING COPPER PARTICLES WHICH CORRODED THE EVAPORATOR, WHICH CAUSED A LEAK.

AUXILLARY EVAPORATOR CORE FAILURE, 2 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE AT THE HEAT OF THE DAY, DRIVER SIDE A/C BLEW COLD, PASSENGER SIDE BLEW HOT

THERE IS A WATER LEAK EVERY TIME IT RAINS. ONCE I COULD NOT SHUT OFF MY CAR HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. SAID THE DRAIN LINE FOR SUNROOF HAD DEBRI AND WATER WAS SITTING ON FUSE BOX. WATER LEAKS IN FLOOR BOARD. YESTERDAY, THERE IS NO SOUND IN VEHICLE AT ALL (NO RADIO NO BLINKING NOISE WHEN BLINKER IS TURNED ON.)

THE AUXILIARY EVAPORATOR BLOWER MOTOR ON GMC ACADIA'S EMITS BRUSH DUST THAT CONTAINS COPPER PARTICLES. THESE COPPER PARTICLES ARE BLOWN ONTO THE EVAPORATOR CORE OF THE VEHICLE WHICH FREQUENTLY LEADS TO CORROSION AND CREATES A REFRIGERANT LEAK, CAUSING THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT TO STOP WORKING OR ONLY BLOW HOT OR WARM AIR. THE EVAPORATOR ON MY 2014 ACADIA HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. ONCE AT 44,235 MILES AND JUST RECENTLY AT 84,510 MILES. THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT I SPOKE WITH SHARED WITH ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH GMC ACADIA'S BUT GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR CORRECT THE ISSUE. THESE EVAPORATORS SHOULD BE FINE FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR, BUT THERE IS A CLEAR DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING THAT IS CAUSING THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT TO FAIL. ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE IT IS A DEFECT ISSUE THAT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF...

8/28/18 - VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY HAD JERKING/SHAKING AT AROUND 40MPH WITH VARIOUS SERVICE MESSAGES - STABILITRAK, TRACTION ON, TRACTION OFF, AND ALL WHEEL DRIVE. TRACTION SKID LIGHT ILLUMINATED. ONCE ABOVE 40 MPH, NO MORE JERKING. SPEEDOMETER WAS FLYING UP AND DOWN INTERMITTENTLY AS WELL. ONCE PARKED AND SHUT OFF FOR AN HOUR, I STARTED VEHICLE AND NO ISSUES. DROVE IT TO REPAIR SHOP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. IT DEFINITELY FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE WANTED TO STALL. NOW I'M NERVOUS TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE I'M SURE IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS OCCURRED ON LOCAL STREETS WITH 45 MPH SPEED LIMITS.

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION COIL FAILURE. THE VEHICLE DESIGN HAS CLOSE PROXIMITY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS CAN RESULT IN ACCELERATED CONTAMINATION FOR THE UN BURNED FUEL ENTERING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS RESULTING IN ENGINE OR CONVERTER ASSEMBLY FAILURE

THE AUXILIARY EVAPORATOR BLOWER MOTOR ON GMC ACADIAS EMITS BRUSH DUST THAT CONTAINS COPPER PARTICLES. THESE COPPER PARTICLES ARE BLOWN ONTO THE EVAPORATOR CORE OF THE VEHICLE WHICH FREQUENTLY LEADS TO CORROSION AND CREATES A REFRIGERANT LEAK, CAUSING THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT TO STOP WORKING OR ONLY BLOW WARM AIR. THE EVAPORATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE ON MY ACADIA AND IT WENT OUT AGAIN ON JULY 30, 2018 (POTENTIALLY SOONER, BUT I NOTICED THE LACK OF COLD AIR ON THE 30TH). THE CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN THAT I SPOKE WITH SHARED WITH ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH GMC ACADIAS BUT GENERAL MOTORS REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR CORRECT THE ISSUE. A SIMPLE ONLINE SEARCH SHOWS MANY DIFFERENT ACADIA OWNERS SHARING SIMILAR EXPERIENCES WHERE THEY HAVE TO FREQUENTLY PAY TO REPLACE THE EVAPORATOR ONCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THESE EVAPORATORS SHOULD BE FINE FOR THE LIFE OF THE...

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY SON AND THE REAR SUN ROOF EXPLODED. IT WAS A VERY LOUD NOISE AND MY EAR IN STILL HURTING FROM THE SOUND. THE SUNROOF SCREEN WAS CLOSED, BUT THE GLASS HAS NOT BROKEN APART AND FALLEN YET. IT IS SHATTERED ON THE UNDERSIDE IN HUNDREDS OF PIECES. THE TOP SHOWS LONG CRACKS ALL OVER. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A POINT WHERE SOMETHING HIT IT. THE CRACK LINES SEEM RANDOM.

THIS IS A PROBLEM INVOLVING THE LIFTGATE OF THE TRUNK BECAUSE I ALMOST GOT CRUSHED ON IT AS I WAS TRYING TO LOAD GROCERY.

I DISCOVERED I HAD A FLAT TIRE SO I GOT THE JACK FROM THE BACK OF THE ACADIA REMOVED THE SPARE TIRE STARTED JACKING THE CAR UP JUST AS IT REACHED ENOUGH CLEARANCE TO REMOVE THE FLAT TIRE, I REMOVED PUT IT ASIDE, I TURNED AROUND TO GRAB THE SPARE, THE WEIGHT OF THE CAR COLLAPSED THE JACK AND THE FRONT OF THE CAR HIT THE PAVEMENT.

THE CAR HAS UNPREDICTABLY AND REPEATEDLY GONE INTO A REDUCED ENGINE POWER STATE AND SUBSEQUENT STALL ON AT LEAST 8 OCCASIONS NECESSITATING AN EMERGENCY PULL OVER. THE FAILURE OCCURRED 6 TIMES WHEN SLOWING TO TURN OR APPROACHING A LIGHT/STOP SIGN AND TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH. MESSAGES AT THE TIME OF THE ISSUE HAVE VARIED BUT CONSISTENTLY INDICATE ENGINE ISSUE, REDUCED ENGINE POWER. VARIABLY WE WILL SEE MESSAGES ABOUT STABILIZATION CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL BEING OFF OR NEEDING TO BE CHECKED. WE HAVE AVOIDED ACCIDENTS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. GM HAS BEEN UNABLE TO IDENTIFY AND CORRECT THE ISSUE ON REPEATED VISITS NOR CAN THEY GUARANTEE THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. SINCE THE CAR LOSES ENGINE POWER AND STALLS BOTH AT HIGHWAY AND SLOWER SPEEDS, IT PRESENTS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD NOT ONLY TO OCCUPANTS OF THE CAR BUT TO SURROUNDING VEHICLES. WE REFUSE TO HAVE...

FIRST INCIDENT: VEHICLE ENGINE TURNED OFF(STALLED)WHILE BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPOT. CAR LOST ALL POWER: BRAKES, STEERING, ENGINE SECOND INCIDENT: ONE WEEK LATER, SAME INCIDENT: VEHICLE ENGINE TURNED OFF(STALLED): CAR LOST ALL POWER, BRAKES, STEERING, ENGINE, THIS TIME ON HIGHWAY EXIT RAMP MOVING APPROX 35 MPH. VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. WE CONTACTED GMC AND OPENED A CASE #[XXX] CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALER WHO KEPT IT FOR ONE WEEK AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY HAD NO EXPLANATION OR SOLUTION. SERVICE MANAGER, IN FACT, INFORMED US THAT HE "COULD HAVE TOLD US" HE FOUND A PROBLEM AND SOLVED IT BUT THAT WE SHOULD APPRECIATE HIS HONESTY! IN NOT BEING ABLE TO DIAGNOSE? WE HAVE NO FAITH IN THIS AUTOMOBILE WITHOUT A DEFINITIVE PROBLEM AND SOLUTION.WHILE DEALER DID SUPPOSEDLY RUN IT THROUGH TESTS, NO MENTION OF RECALL NOR OF ANY IDEA AS TO WHY THIS OCCURRED. ON- LINE REPORTS THAT A...
