What 300 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 GMC Acadia Denali

6/18/15 LIFTGATE CAME CRASHING DOWN ON MY HEAD SO THE STRUTS WERE REPLACED AT DEALERSHIP FOR 116.72 PLUS TAX. THERE IS A RECALL #15240 FOR THIS REPAIR. BUT MY CAR WAS BUILT ON 3/8/2012 WHICH IS 9 DAYS AFTER THE RECALL DATES YOU SUBMITTED. THIS DATE NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED. MORE INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO THIS AND OBVIOUSLY MY CAR IN WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF THIS RECALL. ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET HIT SO HARD IN THE HEAD AND BE KILLED. I WOULD HOPE NOT. ON DEC 12, 2014 SECONDLY THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT AT 46000 MILES THE STEERING PUMP WENT OUT DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO KEEP THE RECEIPT THAT THEY ARE SEEING MORE OF THIS TYPE OF REPAIR. THIS REPAIR COST ME 2000.00. CAN THIS BE LOOKED INTO ALSO. NO STEERING PUMP SHOULD GO OUT WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. WHILE STEERING YOU COULD HEAR A WHINING NOISE.

ACADIA WAS TRAVELING AT 55 MPH WHEN HEARD/FELT A POP/BUMP. STEERING WHEEL STARTED SPINNING TO LEFT THEN RIGHT. STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHTENED OUT. WHILE STEERING WHEEL WAS STILL FACING STRAIGHT, THE CAR STARTED VEERING SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT. THE ACADIA HIT A CULVER THEN FLIPPED 4 TIMES, COMING TO A STOP OVER 160 FEET FROM WHERE IT LEFT THE ROAD
