2010 GMC Acadia Body & structure Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the body or structure system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Body & structure reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THE TAILGATE OPENED AND ONCE IT WAS COMPLETELY OPEN IT FELL SUDDENLY A FEW FEET AND WITHOUT WARNING. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED AND THEY SAID THEY HAD SEEN THIS ON MULTIPLE TIMES. THEY SAID THE STRUTS GO BAD. THEY REPLACED THE STRUT (SPELLING?) AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED THAT IF THIS OCCURS WITH SOMEONE ELSE IT COULD HIT THEIR HEAD AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. *TR
