Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 2014 GMC Acadia

Fuel gauge reads inaccurately and system registers fuel tank empty at around 1/4 of a tank.

My fuel gauge occasionally registers as empty even after I fill the gas tank. This typical happens if I let the fuel go below 1/4 tank. This has happened since the first 30,000 miles and I was told by the dealership there was no recall or safety alert for this condition. It gradually goes up as I drive. It is my understanding this is a common problem with this vehicle and model year.

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that while driving approximately 10 mph the vehicle suddenly stalled while making a turn. The contact was informed by the tow truck driver that the vehicle had ran out of fuel although the fuel gauge indicated that the fuel tank was 1/4 full. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to diagnose a defect. In a second incident the contact was driving approximately 65 mph when the vehicle ran out of the fuel and stalled. During the incident the fuel tank gauge indicated that the fuel tank was approximately 1/2 full. The manufacturer was notified and no solution was offered. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in the NHTSA campaign number 14v223000 (electrical system, fuel system, gasoline). The contact stated the vehicle experienced the same defect listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 9,000. Jft.

The contact stated while parked the fuel tank gauge indicated stated the vehicle had half a tank of fuel, while parked for 5 minutes the fuel tank gauge indicated I was empty. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to diagnose a defect. The manufacturer was notified. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in the NHTSA campaign number 14v223000 (electrical system, fuel system, gasoline). The contact stated the vehicle experienced the same defect listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 10 and current mileage was 3,377. Ml.

Since the day I drove my Acadia off the lot there has been a "click" that occurs which sounds like it is coming from the engine that can be felt under the gas pedal when the vehicle is about to shift into 2nd gear, but only immediately after starting the vehicle and never again when switching between 1st and 2nd gear until it has been turned off and restarted. The noise it makes sounds like a marble rolling on a wooden floor for about 1-2 seconds and then click and then the gear shifts. The dealer said they didn't hear anything but I do as well as other passengers do every day. Additionally, when turning the vehicle at a slow rate of speed and then accelerating, the engine slams into gear when between 10-15 mph but only after a turn and an attempt at acceleration. Also, my Acadia is not a vehicle under the "faulty gas gauge" recall however once my vehicle is below 1/4 tank the needle on the gas gauge will jump from 1/8 tank to 1/16, back up to 1/8 of a tank all while driving on flat roadways. Concurrently, the range for the fuel on the digital screen goes from 95 to 58 to 72 all while driving with cruise control on at a consistent speed. Lastly, the vehicle has the denali grill which leaves minimal airflow from the engine compartment. Up to three hours after turning the vehicle off (in a cool garage) you can still feel the heat coming from the engine compartment if you place your hand in front of the grill. Could this be a possible fire hazard? all of these issues began when I purchased the vehicle with 60 miles on it and continue now at 15,500 miles. I drive frequently and can tell you that I do not feel safe in my vehicle but am unsure what to do as the dealer has told me there is nothing wrong with it. The only recall for my vehicle is the seatbelt issue but I think there are serious engine problems with this vehicle that need to be addressed by gm.

I was driving to go meet my husband for lunch when all of a sudden my vehicle started to jerk and turned off. I turned out of traffic onto the first side street I found. Onstar found my location and sent a tow truck. Despite my vehicle reading I had 1/4 tank of as, I had actually ran out of gas. I have never ran out of gas in a vehicle. Several other times my gas hand would read inaccurately. For instance, my hand might show 1/2 tank of gas, but all of a sudden it would jump to 3/4 tank of gas. Despite having my vehicle repaired 4 different times for the fuel issue, the dealership says that mine is not being recalled. I decided to add my issue with the vehicle because I believe, like some of the other complainants, that gm is still hiding what is truly wrong with these vehicles. This whole situation is sad because I use this vehicle to drive my children to school. I think gm is still not doing the right thing by their customers. I have other electrical issues with this vehicle. For instance, just last week my navigation system wouldn't come on. After pulling over and turning the vehicle off and then back on again, it started working again. I 've had this happen also when trying to use my trunk and bluetooth. I also have an issue with the fact that gm thought the problem was so significant that they issued a stop delivery on the 2014 Acadia due to the fuel issue and other problems including the seatbelt, but they do not think it is significant enough of a problem for people who already own a 2014 Acadia to stop driving it. I think gm needs to think about the safety of its customers and families and be truthful about the recalls and what is really wrong with these vehicles.

Started noticing the gas gauge wasn't accurate. I started out with 1/4 tank of gas and drove not even a mile and the low fuel light came on and the needle was on empty. Panicked and drove to the nearest gas station and I pulled up to the pump and my gas reappeared. Another time I filled the tank and drove approximately 5 miles and it went from full to 3/4 of a tank. Went in the store, came out and started it and it was full again. This has happened several times and once resulting in running out of gas although it showed there was gas. I now reset the mileage to zero when I fill up and know how many miles I should get to the tank and refuel. I spoke to the service advisor at my dealership and he told me it was a new fuel system gm was using and there wasn't a resolution for it. There has to be a resolution to this!.
