general problems of the 2016 GMC Acadia

While operating my vehicle, the power steering suddenly failed without adequate warning. The steering became extremely difficult, creating a significant safety hazard for myself, my passengers, and other drivers on the road. A sudden loss of steering assist increases the risk of collision, especially at lower speeds, during turns, or in emergency maneuvers.

Rack and pinion sudden failure. I lost control of the vehicle almost going off the road .

The recall is with the steering wheel air bag. If it goes off then the driver could possibly get injured or killed from metal fragments according to the recall letter that I received. The letter is dated June 10, 2023. If they can't come up with a fix then they should supply me with a vehicle that is safe. Seven months is way too long.

The check engine light has come on multiple times in the past 6 months. I have taken it 3 times to be repaired and finally the found out what was wrong. The first time that I brought it in, may 2023, the bank 1 lean code was coming up on the diagnostic. They replaced a sensor for $300. 2 weeks later the check engine light came on again. They got the same codes and didn't know what exactly was causing it so they fixed a bunch of things which cost me $2,200. 3 months later, the check engine light came back on again. This time they're telling me the repairs cost $3,725 and it's related to this bulletin (https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/tsbs/2019/mc-10160115-9999. Pdf). This seems like a safety hazard that I should not have to pay for. My car only has 58,000 miles. I already paid $2,500 in misdiagnosed problems and now they want me to pay another $3,725. I don't have my bills to upload because they're in my glove box and my car is with the dealership.

Experienced noise when turning at slow speeds and the wheel was difficult to turn at times. Took it in to dealer and was informed that the entire steering system needed to be replaced for $6300.

I was driving down the highway and I went to turn the corner as I slowed to turn the corner the steering wheel wouldn't turn, I had to hot my brakes because it scared me that my car wouldn't turn, the cars behind me had to go around me, I thought I was about to cause a wreck because my steering wheel wouldn't turn. I finally got it to turn but it was really hard. I was thankful my kids were not in the car. I took my car in to get looked at and they said I need a new steering rack, I only have 60,000 miles on it. They said repairs are going to cost $1,200 or more. I called 5 different repair shops and they all said, that it was common on the GMC Acadia and other GMC vehicles. They also told me at one time GMC had more recalls then they had vehicles on the road. Wish I would of known this prior to buying. Couldn't imagine what it would of been like to lose in of my own kids are someone else for a vehicle problem that has been known to the makers but not every purchaser.

I have a 2016 GMC Acadia, with 30,000 miles, well maintained. Suddenly my steering wheel is locked while making turns at a low speed. This was very scary as my wheel was completely locked and I had kids in my car. Vehicles running good when at high speed. I have seen so many complain with the same model and same issue, yet, GMC has not posted any recall on their very dangerous issue.

Safety issue $2,065. 58,200 miles. Could loose power steering due to multiple leaks. Have not lost steering yet. Must get fixed.

Seat belt for driver does not secure. GMC states not covered under warranty leek in power steering. Known issue with GMC and no recalls.

Power steering has completely gone out. Car is 3 years old this shouldn't happen.

While driving down the road, we went to make a turn. The steering wheel would would not turn. We actually had to cross into oncoming traffic up on a sidewalk. Since then it has continued to work and then suddenly stop working.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 GMC Acadia. While driving 65 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to turn. After the failure, the contact noticed multiple unknown warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact was able to park on the side of the road. The vehicle was able to be restarted, but was later towed to marchant Chevrolet (located at 5700 savannah hwy, ravenel, SC 29470, (843) 722-8208).

2016 sle GMC Acadia center gear shifting component level does not indicate what gear the vehicle is currently in. P,r,n,d,l all remain white in color despite being in a different gear; an improvement (perhaps a color change to the current gear) is needed. Gear indication is currently located on a 2 inch by 3 inch screen screen above the speedometer in the instrument cluster. However, the steering wheel is located within the average persons field of view of the indication screen, thus making the indication screen useless until a major body adjustment, up or down, is made. Poor indication of current gear and the size of gear indication need to be drastically improved to prevent accidental gear selection which would result in wrecks and lost of life.
