general problems of the 2009 GMC Acadia

There was a recall at one time for the transmission linkage about it popping off, I am now having it pop off I have no clue how long it been this way seeing as it goes to the dealership and they never said anything but it had been that way for a while you can just lift it off. Head lights go out almost every 6 months on the dot! I have been caught twice with no low beams.

I leased my 2009 GMC Acadia almost 2 years ago, it has been a nightmare. I bought as is so dealer would not return my calls that had anything to do with problems. First, not even 3 weeks after I leased the vehicle the electrical system started to go, my driver window stopped working, my back hatch well I can't even open it because there is no key to open nor is there a button anywhere the mechanics said I need to take it to an electrical mechanic. . . Wonder how much that will cost?, my stabiltrak system constantly flashes. The engine burns up too much oil even after an oil change within 3weeks I need to put oil, I do not drive far nor alot. To work and back. It will cost more to fix this truck than what it is worth now I'm stuck with $5,000 left on a vehicle that is a piece of poop. When I drive the truck pulls as if the engine cannot get the truck going. I can't turn off the truck while putting gas because the vehicle wont turn over once the gas has been put in and started. The mechanic said its the trans evap system. I dont understand how GMC can get away with manufacturing vehicles like this with no concern for the customers.

I own a GMC Acadia 2009. I purchased it in March of 2018 with 136,402 miles on it. First that went was the catalytic converters, second my stabliltrak system and traction system said my break was on when it wasn't, thrid was my right rear tire pressure was "low" and it was not and fourth my battery started going low while driving it. While I noticed all these major issues I noticed my radio doesn't work right, the left side of my car has no volume in the speakers and my lights aren't working right. One bulb on front is out and I noticed they would come on and go off whenever they wanted and then never again shortly after. The back on just filled with water for no reason and burnt my bulbs out before I realized it was filled to the top. I've owned it for 6 months and already have thousands worth of dollars in repairs.

I have owned the vehicle for 3 years and had to replace the head lights 4 times.

The daytime running light bulb has melted into the bulb socket. The extreme heat caused the light housing to disintegrate. The bulb was oem. The system is non-operable and gm says there is nothing they can do. This was engineered wrong or faulty material was used. There certainly is a potential for a fire given the extreme heat caused by this system.

Tl- the contact owns a 2009 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that the day time running lights failed on several occasions. The contact also indicated that the bulbs were replaced more than twice and that the sockets as well as the housing failed to support the power for the lighting wattage indicating that the components were prematurely melting due to the failure. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for an unknown manufacturers recall and the contact was unable to determine if the repair was completed under warranty or a recall. The failure recurred. The left low beam failed and then the right low beam failed again. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who recommended that the housing be replaced for the day time running light assemblies and the failure recurred again with both lights shorting. The dealer per the contacts request, disconnected the day time running lights to prevent the failure but provided no solution. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and they provided no remedy. The contact also experienced the rear liftgate closing with force and was bruised in the head. The contact received notification of the safety recallyears later for NHTSA campaign id number: 15v415000 (structure) but was waiting for months to determine when the manufacturer would be able to supply the remedy and the part to repair the vehicle. The approximate failure mileage was 47,274. Dyd.
