On Sunday June 7, 2026 my husband drove our 2014 GMC Acadia to work. We both work at MSY - Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport for United Airlines. After he parked in the employee garage that is located in at the old terminal and got on the employee shuttle, the passenger tail light sparked a fire. Airport operations responded with the fire department that is stationed at the airport.

The contact owns a 2014 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that while in park(P), the vehicle rolled, requiring the driver to turn off and restart the vehicle, and the vehicle successfully shifted in park(P). Additionally, the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle jerked. The contact stated that while driving 60-65 MPH, the vehicle shut off, and the steering wheel and the wheels locked up. The contact was barely able to pull over to the side of the road, where the contact waited before restarting the vehicle. The contact stated that the Check Engine warning light was recently illuminated. The vehicle was towed to two independent mechanics, where several diagnostic trouble codes associated with the transmission and the transmission module and solenoid were retrieved. The contact was then referred to a transmission specialist, where the vehicle was towed and was being diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

Engine randomly shuts off when driving for no reason. Will restart and check engine light comes on. Has now happened three times , twice to me in traffic. One of those the car went into a limp mode where it wouldn't drive above 30mph at most. This is very unsafe in the middle of highway traffic. The second happened approaching a traffic light , I put the car into neutral and luckily it restarted and check engine light came on. The third time my wife had her friends in the car and it shut off at a light , she had no idea what to do. I had her stay there and brought her our other car. I have read this is caused by a known fuse box issue. They should be made to fix this problem before someone gets seriously hurt driving in traffic.

My 2014 GMC Acadia constantly displays “Service Stabilitrak,” “Service Traction Control,” ABS, brake, and check-engine warning lights. The vehicle will not accelerate past 40 mph under normal driving. Recently, the vehicle began showing “Engine Power Reduced” randomly without any warning, and the vehicle loses power suddenly. The OBD2 code P1682 (Ignition 1 Circuit/Relay failure) appears every time. This issue has caused the vehicle to jerk, lose acceleration, and even stall in the middle of an intersection during rush-hour traffic while my children were in the car, creating a serious safety hazard. These warnings and symptoms are constant, and the power-reduction events occur unpredictably. No official inspection has been completed by the manufacturer. The failed component is still in the vehicle and available for inspection. The malfunction affects traction control, stability control, braking systems, and engine power, putting occupants and other drivers at risk.

Got onto the interstate and suddenly my car stopped but didn’t kill. My traction control light said off and then it said reduced engine power and my fuel went down to E. I couldn’t go but my car was still running. I killed it then waited a minute and started it again and it started moving slowly. Then it said service stabliltrak and traction system but since the light have went off. Around the same time I started hearing popping and crackling sounds from my speaker and now I have no interior sound at all just popping sounds no matter if my car is started or not. I’m scared it’s going to catch on fire or something

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.

The rack unit is going out. It makes the vehicle suddenly jerk to the left at highway speeds. It could cause a collision if there is a car on the left or a head on collision if on a two lane road. It also increases the amount of force needed to steer at low speeds. I took to the mechanic and was told that it needed to be replaced and would be 2500+ dollars to repair it and that they could not do the repair their only recommendation was to take it to the dealer. So GM is not wanting to issue a recall because it would cost them a lot of money to fix it.

Fuel gauge is incorrect. It says I went 20 miles when I only went two. Then when car is in park the gauge goes back up but when moving the gauge goes down quickly. This had caused me to run out of Gas when I shouldn’t have and it’s adding miles to my odometer that I never went or it’s fluctuating and that’s faulty.

I have many problems with this vehicle, numerous times. Inaccurate Fuel Gauge Reading- 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). 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. My vehicle was difficult to start and would require several attempts before starting. Power lock/unlock key fob doesn't work, replaced battery multiple times.windows and sunroof power windows do no work. Radio and dash turn off and restart. Check airbag light has been coming on and off. Power Train intermittently, the transmission shifts with a loud thump, at various speeds. Vehicle starts shaking and jerking while shifting gears and going different speeds. My vehicle slows down, power reduce engine and steering difficult at times. Other/ water leak- Found water in all of my tail light assemblies, headlight assemblies, sunroof and windows leaking. There is no proper seal or has worn off, causing leaks in and repairs for many replacements, which are expensive temp fixes with no permanent solution. Causes accidents by not having necessary working equipment for driving conditions. Other:Hood doesn't latch and stay open so difficult to even check fluids properly alone. Multiple dealers have inspected problems, and needs to be fixed. There are recalls out for many of these problems and my vehicle needs to be on the list for serious safety issues.

1.- Found water in the doors electrical connectors, the radio, alerts, blinkers sounds stops working and makes an electric short circuit sound. Informatic radio systems works on and off. 2.- break pedal with unusual play this make the stop lights turn on all the time and triggers the stabilitytrack system fails the car it’s like speeding up and down. 3.- the previous problem play in the break pedal triggers a transmission malfunction Does not change gears and makes the engine loose power preventing a major damages but at same time it’s very dangerous while driving because we never know when it will happen the failure.

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.

THE PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT WARNING CHIMED TO INDICATE A PASSENGER WAS NOT WEARING A SEATBELT AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ON/OFF LIGHT TOGGLED BACK AND FORTH WHEN NO PASSENGER WAS IN THE CAR IN THE SEAT. THIS RESOLVED SPONTANEOUSLY BY THE NEXT DAY, NOW THE SERVICE AIRBAG SOON NOTICE AND WARNING LIGHT IS LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT THAT WOULD CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY OR ACTIVATE. I SEE THAT A PREVIOUS RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED IN 2014 FOR THE 2009-2013 MODELS OF GMC ACADIA, BUT MY SPECIFIC ACADIA IS A 2014 MODEL. THERE ARE NO ACTIVE RECALLS LISTED FOR MY VEHICLE, HOWEVER AN AIRBAG MALFUNCTION IS A SERIOUS CONCERN FOR GMC ACADIA OWNERS. THIS ISSUE JUST STARTED AND I HAVE NOT VISITED A DEALER YET.

I took my 2014 GMC Acadia into the dealership I purchased it at because my airbag light was on. This was before the recall. I was told at that time that nothing was wrong and and I probably hit a bump and juggled something loose. I paid $190 for that. Now my vehicle is in the shop and I can no longer operate it or sell it because it is deemed unsafe due to this recall. I contacted GMC and there is no remedy for this. It has been 8 months. This is not timely. They would not offer a replacement, refund or a loaner vehicle. I recorded this call and received a case number. I believe this is against federal law. I then contracted the dealership I purchased the vehicle through and they will not provide a rental or repair or replace my vehicle either. N fact, they were trying to get me to do $4,000 in repairs. This may fall under the lemon law and I contacted an attorney. Some people have been without vehicles 8 months now since this recall occurred. This is absurd. I had one vehicle that now I cannot use. I need to be made whole.I have 5 children. Who is responsible? I will not stop until I get compensated. There are a total of 6 recalls out on my car. Only one has been closed. The seatbelt. The other recalls could cause major damage to expensive components like the engine and transmission. The EUC was under recall and was never fixed in my vehicle also. I found this out through a search on kbb.com. This may have in turn caused more out of pocket expenses

I HAD JUST PICKED UP 250 PIECES OF CHICKEN FROM GIANT EAGLE TO FEED THE HOMELESS AT THE YWCA AND PLACED THE BOXES IN THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE. AS I DROVE DOWN THE STREET THE WINDOW BEGAN TO FOG SO I TURNED ON THE DEFROST. WITHIN MINUTES OF TURNING ON THE DEFROST, THE WINDOW SHATTERED INTO PIECES. I ENDED UP HAVING TO THROW AWAY OVER 100 PIECES OF CHICKEN, BUT LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE CORPORATE OFFICE, BUT THEY SAY THEY CANNOT ASSIST. AFTER SPEAKING WITH CANDICE AT GMC, @866-790-3600 EXT 5923331, I WAS TOLD THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED DOES NOT COVER GLASS. I BOUGH THE CAR USED ALMOST A YEAR AGO, PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TO REPLACE THE BUMPER TO BUMPER COVERAGE, SO WHY DOESN'T IT COVER GLASS? WHAT IS EVEN MORE FRIGHTENING TO ME IS HOW DOES A WINDOW JUST SHATTER? THIS IS A DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS AND THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY GMC. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED IN OTHER GMC VEHICLES AND PERHAPS THIS NEEDS TO BE A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT BEFORE IT WILL BE PROPERLY ADDRESSED.

10/6/2023 The vehicle shakes all over the vehicle when driving at highway speeds the shop I brought it to says that the tire tread is slipped and you can see the tread is wavy when running on the lift and is most likely the cause of the vibration. It is actually all 4 tires but a couple of them are the more worse than others. P255/55R20 is the tire size and were bought 9/9/2021 but only have 20K miles on them. I just wanted to report so if there is other complaints about this with the same tire something may be able to be done to resolve this in case this issue gets worse.
