1 Blind Spot Detection problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2023

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.

6 Blind Spot Detection problem

Failure Date: 01/08/2021

Car shut off while driving. All electrical went out. Doors all locked while inside, key stuck in ignition. Started with side detection warning and within a few days car completely shut off while driving! huge safety issue! will not restart and still can't get key out of the ignition. Battery is fully charged but no power. Completely dead. There is a known recall on 2014 GMC Acadias for electronic module failure but not our specific vehicle though this seems to be the exact cause of our problems. GMC said they could not help?!.
