Two problems related to air conditioner have been reported for the 2014 GMC Acadia. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2014 GMC Acadia based on all problems reported for the 2014 Acadia.
The auxiliary evaporator blower motor on GMC Acadia's emits brush dust that contains copper particles. These copper particles are blown onto the evaporator core of the vehicle which frequently leads to corrosion and creates a refrigerant leak, causing the air conditioning unit to stop working or only blow hot or warm air. The evaporator on my 2014 Acadia has been replaced twice. Once at 44,235 miles and just recently at 84,510 miles. The service manager that I spoke with shared with me that this is a very common problem with GMC Acadia's but gm refuses to acknowledge or correct the issue. These evaporators should be fine for the life of the car, but there is a clear defect in the manufacturing that is causing the air conditioning unit to fail. Although this is not a safety issue it is a defect issue that could be a safety issue because of excessive heat as a result of this ac failure. Please address this problem and get gm to replace any further failures for all Acadia owners!.

These copper particles are blown onto the evaporator core of the vehicle which frequently leads to corrosion and creates a refrigerant leak, causing the air conditioning unit to stop working or only blow warm air. The evaporator has been replaced twice on my Acadia and it went out again on July 30, 2018 (potentially sooner, but I noticed the lack of cold air on the 30th). The certified technician that I spoke with shared with me that this is a very common problem with GMC Acadias but general motors refuses to acknowledge or correct the issue. A simple online search shows many different Acadia owners sharing similar experiences where they have to frequently pay to replace the evaporator once the vehicle is out of warranty. These evaporators should be fine for the life of the car, but there is a clear defect in the manufacturing that is causing the air conditioning unit to fail. While this might not be considered a safety concern or complaint, I have two young children and have great concerns over driving my vehicle in the summer without air conditioning. Please take my concerns seriously and investigate the multitude of complaints online about this specific issue. Https://www. Consumeraffairs. Com/automotive/GMC-acadia. Html https://forums. Edmunds.
