GMC Acadia Change Vehicle

"Power steering pump failed entirely and had to be replaced"

"Broken struts on both front wheels at different times. Sounds like another one is broken again"

"leaking"

"Started leaking oil. Had to replace both."

"coil spring broke"

"cracked struts"

"See previous comments. This was all the same repair"

"Since day one when outside temperature drops below -10 degrees celsius whenever car hits even a minor bump in the road there is a very loud bang in back of vehicle like frame being hit with a sledge hammer. Dealer refused to fix under warranty claiming it was normal. No chance it is normal. Frightens anyone sitting in back row seats."

"The front struts were completely worn out, no damping at all. They cost over $2K to have replaced."

"We bought the car certified pre owned, struts had to be replaced less than a year after we bought it. Would have been a few thousand dollars but was luckily under warranty"

"steering wheel would wobble when braking"

"This vehicle has an issue with a steering klunk noise when turning the steering wheel all the way to the right. The dealer has replaced the steering rack twice but the noise continues"

"makes noises when you turn the wheel fully"

"Rack and pinion failed covered by extended warranty"

"It needed to be entirely replaced."

"The steering linkage gears were worn and had to be replaced which cost $3000. Power steering fluid was also leaking"

"fluid leakage, and had to replace entire unit"

"The rack was bad, and even thought it was out of warranty, GMC agreed to pick up some of the cost due to prior steering issues while under warranty"

"Rack and pinion replaced under extended warranty at dealership. Not done properly and had to be repaired again at private shop. Bolts not properly fastened."

"steering wheel was jerking a bit especially when turning. they replaced a sensor and something else. happened at at 37000 miles. annoyig. cost was significant"

"Heard a clunk when we turned and they needed to be replaced. Our biggest problem was the rod that holds the fuel tank in place and the Chev Dealership Dueck on Marine Vancouver BC failed to see it because they didn't want to have to pay. Took it to an independent repair shop and they noticed it right away and said this is an old break. When we wanted to talk to dealership somehow the manager is away or maybe walked out the back door. ? Haven't been back since and cost us $2,000. to fix as fuel tank suspension is important especially with a rear ender."

"made a lout noise when traveling over 35 mph"

"Total replacement of heating and air conditioning system"

"thermostat malfunctioned"

"I just paid $617 to have AC fixed and half of that was labor to replace a outside temp sensor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is second major problem with AC unit in past 18 months"

"Tied to the blower motor problem"

"Air flow actuator needed to be replaced"

"The climate control blowers come and go in the front of the car constantly, and online forums reveal that this is a well known and understood design flaw on Gmc vehicles years before my 2012 model year. When the air stops moving in the heat of summer, the car is actually dangerous to drive because the temps go over 100 F very quickly! We don’t they fix it??"

"Blower motor was working intermittently making the automatic climate control worthless."

"The HVAC blend actuator on the passenger side failed. Five hour repair."

"The car was blowing cold air into passenger footwell and hot air into driver footwell when heat was selected. It was diagnosed that the temperature blender which combines and regulates air temperature before sending into passenger compartment was not working properly and had to be replaced."

"It was a very slow leaks, for which it took months to detect"

"Happened twice. Approx 3 years ago and again last month"

"A/c quit working and needed refill twice"

"Refrigerant hose leak near radiator"

"System constantly leaks refrigerant from different locations. First was the low pressure schrader valve, then leaking rear evaporator coil. GMC dealer attempted to fix the leaks twice before I took it to a competing brand dealer who was willing to troubleshoot the ac system. They found the leaks quickly and offered a repair solution. This wasn't until I already had paid over $700 to keep refilling the refrigerant after the GMC dealer "fixed" the issues"

"The headlights don't come on when the engine starts, and therefore, aren't on when the vehicle is driven, unless the headlight button is pushed. they are supposed to be automatic. Warranty repair coming next week"

"Thank you for this opportunity to tell my melting headlight SAGA!! About one and a half years ago, or @ 77,000 miles, my right headlamp MELTED in the housing!! Took it to my local guys, who have taken care of most of my car maintenance for over 45 years. They ordered the ENTIRE HEADLIGHT UNIT, and installed it for @ $950.00. About a year ago, the left t headlamp MELTED! Same story, different side! This time I took it to my local dealership, and on the way out to the car, I passed the old right"

"One of the driving lights went out, I took it in to have it replaced. The service writer told me there was a recall on the headlights, so both were replaced under warrantee."

"The housing around the headlights melted from the heat. As search of the secondary market indicated that many other vehicles have the same problem. GM has no warranty extension on this problem and the cost of the housing around the lights was first called a dad $1800 plus labor. I was able to get the dealer to reduce the cost to $1200 plus labour which is still a non-believable charge."

"Light burnt out required dealer to replace because of complexity of the job."

"Display PSI does not match actual pressure often setting off warning light OFTEN! System also confuses left and right and more annoying, front and rear tires. And no it's not just weather changes that understandably effect PSI."
