general problems of the 2014 GMC Acadia

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.

I have had many problems relating to this vehicle, for only owning it for a year. Inaccurate fuel gauge reading- my fuel gauge is inaccurate. 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). I have taken to many shops, 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 with no good reason/cause. My vehicle was difficult to start and would require several attempts before starting. Power lock/unlock fob doesn't work, replaced battery multiple times. My windows and sunroof power windows do no work and unable to fully close on/off at times. 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, some have not been able to pin point the problem for some of these issues or have been charged unaffordable amount before fixing, and only diagnosing problem. There are recalls out for many of these problems and my vehicle needs to be on the list for serious safety issues!.

While driving at 70mph legal speed limit the engine lost all power and ability to brake or steer with and power assistance, mechanic has since told me the timing chain failed and destroyed the engine. Vehicle had aproxmitly 99k miles on it and in good repair. No warning that it was going to fail and was told that this is a common failure with the engines in most GMC / chevy / Buick mid size svu.

SUV stalled and everything shut off and could not start ! it has happened twice and have had it in dealership and they cannot find the problem. Battery’s has been replaced but I believe its electrical!.

While traveling approximately 75mph the service traction control light came on followed closely by the low oil pressure stop engine immediately light. We attempted to travel to a more safe area along the interstate. Within seconds the engine immediately shut off causing the loss of power steering and power brakes. The steering wheel locked in place causing the total loss of steering control. We were able to bring the vehicle to a safe stop, I would attribute this success to my being a defensive driver instructor and transportation safety professional. The risk associated with the issues we were faced with could have easily ended in tragedy especially at this speed (75 mph, 80 mph zone) the diagnosis of the vehicle was inconclusive due to the number of codes that were shown. The vehicle was no longer functional and had to be replaced. No documentation, other than the bill for towing is available. Diagnosis was done at no charge.

Traction control sensor turns on-service stabilitrak-engine loses power-car dies while driving at any speed. Turn the car off wait for awhile and sometimes it will turn over and everything is fine. The issue is slowly happening more often and taking longer to start back up.

While driving on the highway my car began shuttering and the warning system went off stating the traction control had gone off. Then it said engine power reduced, service engine, and service traction. The car began shaking and immediately slowed down. I pulled over and turned off the car. Upon restarting the car I received a message that said traction control on. But the engine light came on. This is the second time this has occurred. The first time it happened I took my car to the dealership to which they said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. After doing a google search today, I found that this seems to be a common problem in GMC Acadia and I am shocked that it hasn't be reported/recalled. In retrospect, I have noticed that sometimes when I accelerate, the car will fail to shift gears in a timely manner and jerk forward when it finally does so. I was on the highway with all three of my children in the car when this happend!.

Engine reduced power. Vehicle will no longer start. I was driving and lost power while driving. I pulled over even though power steering was not working. Had car towed to conley automotive, wimberley, TX. Diagnosis from conley said faulty fuse box. They said it was a technical service bulletin problem. I input my VIN# on NHTSA and foind recall on ecm, electronic control module. When I spoke with the service dept at chuck nash chevy dealership , they said no recalls were noted on my vehicle. I am extremely upset that this in fact is the issue with my car. How do I add my vehicle to the safety recall?.

While driving on the highway going 65 mph, engine light came on, then reduced engine power alert. The car went down to 8 mph and hard to steer. I was barely able to pull off on the side without getting hit. Turned off the car (45 mins) as I was waiting for my spouse and when I turned it back on, it started without an issue. The engine light has come on a few times and then it turns off on its own. The car has shut down a few times when driving slowly - turning from a stop or in drive-thru. Took it to the auto repair shop and mechanic was unable to replicate issue and find anything wrong with it. I also get the airbag sensor light turn on and off randomly.

First, 2 days after we purchased the car, the engine light came on. Then the front camera needed service and the side warnings stopped. Then the seat heaters quit. The fobs both quit working, would. It properly unlock the doors. We got an airbag needs service warning. A check gages warning. A service tire monitoring system warning. Finally, the engine locks up and won't start, turn over, or anything. Several hours later, the car starts. Then it goes through the whole cycle again over the next few weeks til it doesn't start again and leaves us stranded. Again. The first time, the mcdaniel GMC service department changed out the battery and believed that would fix it. We paid $190 for that. It didn't work. It went through the same cycle again within a month. Now they expect us to pay to have he module fixed, even though they knew there was a recall for it when hey sold it to us.

The gears sometimes does a hard push when changing gears automatically. The dashboard light keeps turning off and driver can not see the speedomotor etc.

About a month ago my car started losing power when driving. It often happens when entering or exiting the highway. The last time it happened was yesterday on the highway off ramp. The car loses power and a message comes on saying service stabilitrak traction control off engine power reduced, the engine idles rough and I cannot get back up to speed. I have to stop the car completely, turn it off and wait 20-30 seconds then turn it back on. I have taken the twice to the dealer and they cannot find a problem.

Engine continued running after key turned to off and then removed.

Engine light keep coming on.

While in motion, the vehicle feels as if it miss-shifts. It does not matter whether it is on a highway or city streets, from time to time, it will feel like the SUV pulls back or "skips a beat. ".

Motor cranks for an extended period of time when starting and engine runs rough for a few seconds after starting. Also vehicle has an odd smell when this happens.

While driving at @35 miles per hour the vehicle completetly and abruptly stopped.

On 08/17/14 at approximately 15:30, I was backing up in my driveway from a major roadway and my vehicle suddenly lost all power, steering and brakes. I looked at the driver information center and it said something like "power loss" and "battery". I was in too big of a hurry to put it in park and restart the vehicle and get out of the road to concentrate on what it was saying. I signed a lease for this vehicle on July 3, 2014 and actually was told after I signed all the papers that my vehicle was one that was involved in the ignition recall and to please drop it off at this dealer on Monday, July 7, 2014 so they could replace the ignition. On Monday,July 7, 2014, the dealer picked my vehicle up from my workplace, I'm just down the road. I picked my vehicle up on my way home. From that time forward, I noticed occasionally I was unable to turn the key in the ignition. Like sometimes when your steering wheel is just wrong. After a few attempts, I was able to start the vehicle. This happened maybe 5-6 times. On 08/18/14, I tried to contact my salesman and he is on vacation until next Monday. I have not called the dealer back yet to report this, I am at work. My motivation for reporting this is that the ignition was replaced because of the recall. Now, I don't know that that is the reason for the power failure on Saturday, but I am suspicious of that replacement ignition. It's a brand new vehicle!.

While I was driving my car in traffic, the green car indicator light came on and slowed down my speed to a complete stop. I pulled over and allowed cars to go around me as I tried to restart the vehicle, 3 times, and it would not start. I called onstar to see if they could do a car check and told me nothing was wrong. After an hour of being stuck on the side of the road with a car that would not start, onstar got me a tow truck and towed me to the dealer ship. The dealer ship at first could not figure out what was wrong with the car and tried to see if it was the indicator light, after 3 days the called me and informed me that the battery had a bad cell which had caused the cars system to shut down immediately while I was driving. They gave me a new battery and that cleared up that problem. I am very concerned with this happening to someone on a highway, imagine if someone could not control there car and speed while doing 70 mph in the fast lane, this could easily cause a car crash!!! I was fortunate to be in a neighborhood only going 25 mph but it still could have caused a accident since there was cars behind me. It was a scary situation as I realized I had no control of my car, please make people aware of this because I have heard of gm have more bad batteries!.
