On 3 occasions vehicle will shut off while driving down the road. When restarted goes into limp mode. Have at repair shop now and they stated there was a campaign on the electrical fuse box but my Vin is not included. This is a complete disaster waiting to happen on busy roadways. Waiting for the parts to arrive so they can replace it, stated they see wires arcing. This is a $1000.00 bill that is most definitely a safety issue, perhaps someone jumped the gun on which Vin numbers to include. I am fortunate that I wasn't on the interstate when this happened. Very upset.

Recall on Air bag system in 2014 GMC Acadia. My safety and my children safety is at risk every time we ride in vehicle. I have a warning light illuminating the airbag needs repair. When i purchased this vehicle it wasn't any issue to the system. I'm paying insurance on a vehicle that hasn't found a remedy for the issue and I cant afford to go without transportation. There isn't a time limit on when an incident can happen but as of now this recall is an issue and if it goes without remedy I will need new/other affordable recall free transportation.

Since I have owned this vehicle, my blind spot alert system has failed 3 times. In every occurrence, the warning lights in the mirror have been stuck in the "on" position. It has occurred at approximately 60k miles, 100k miles, and now 150k miles. In each occurrence, it was a defective sensor module due to the location of the module that allows water to get into the box. The blind spot light stays on constantly and no longer detects vehicle located in the blind spot of the vehicle. In every case, the cost of the repair was over $800 to replace the box.

My wife was driving our 2014 GMC Acadia to work. She stopped to fuel up her car about 4 miles from home. She left the gas station and proceeded to head to work. She called me (her husband) in a panic because she had lost all power steering and could not turn the wheel through an intersection. I asked her if she had made it to work and she said she was about to pull into the parking lot, but was going to have to park aways out from the building as she couldn’t turn into a park spot. I went and checked out our car when she was inside working and sure enough the cars power steering fluid was all over the ground under the driver side of the car. I trailered the car back home where I could get a better look at things. The rack and pinion had failed without any warning and was spraying fluid out of the top of the rack. No warning lights or indicators on the dash, warning of low fluid or anything malfunctioned. Still when you start the vehicle there is still no warning lights of low fluid or anything. Of course we are dealt to deal with the repair and expenses ourselves because the extended warranty we have doesn’t cover anything to do with steering components with our car that we have owned now for 1 1/2 years.

The rear brake lights get stuck on causing the traction control and the stabilitrak to turn off and flash the warning on the dash. This vehicle has been to two different dealerships to fix the issues and nothing has worked. The brake pedal sensor has been replaced a couple times. The brake pedal assembly has been replaced. This is a safety concern due to other drivers thinking my brake lights are on constantly and not being able to see when I’m actually slowing down.
