I have been having an issue with the light on for 2 years and called many times on it. Last year they said there was no active recall. I see now that there is one. I called and was told that I should have received a letter. I never received a letter of the official recall and the repair is covered. I am now waiting 4-8 weeks for the dealer to get the part in and for them to then call me to schedule an appointment. Why do they not have them in stock?

My wife was driving at highway speeds (70mph) on the interstate in chicago when without warning her cluster lights appeared and her vehicle lost propulsion (stalled, stall, died). She had no warning and the area had no shoulder for her to pull off into so she had to come to a complete stop in the right lane of the highway. People are doing speeds well above 70mph, I would hate to think of what could have happened if a person or line of vehicles could not change lanes in time; very serious injuries and possibly death for all invovled. Fortunatly, she had the sense to put the car in park (highway lane) and completed a key cycle thus restarting the vehicle and then obviously accelerating quickly to get out of harms way. As people are swirving out of her lane and honking at her. I put our VIN into the NHTSA site and see the vehicle has no outstanding recalls. Then I search just the model year and come across a recall (14v-614, gm recall number 14515) that appears to be the same issue we may have had. In the vehicle information section of the 573 it lists: descriptive information : 2014 GMC Acadia production dates : Jun 27, 2013 - Sep 26, 2013 plugging my VIN into a VIN decoder, I see that my vehicle was built July 26, 2013; this falls within the suspect time of this recall. Why have I not been notified of this recall? why is the NHTSA tool not show my vehicle as being affected? this could have been a very a tragic ending. I hope you (NHTSA) reach out directly to gm to figure out why my vehicle was not included in the recall. Why my wife was put in harms way.

When stoped on a hill the transmission goes into neutral & the car rolls backward down hill when you take your foot off the brake to take off again. Took it to a GMC dealer &a they told us they drove a 2013 Acadia & a 2015 Buick with the same drive train as ours & both cars rolled back like ours so they determined it was "normal"! I was a Ford tech for 32 years and never ran into a problem like this, I do not feel it's normal. What will happen if we roll back into another car or hit someone who walks behind the car?? this has happened coming out of parking lots near our house, & it happened on I 40 when we were going to texas for vacation there was an accident ahead of us & we were stuck in the hills outside williams ariz I had to drive with one foot on the brake & the other on the gas to keep from rolling back in heavy traffic.
