A message shift to park kept appearing when the car was in park and shut off. Then I put the car in reverse and the entire care locked up. (a message from GMC -general motors llc (gm) is recalling certain 2018 Chevrolet equinox and GMC terrain vehicles and 2017-2018 GMC Acadia vehicles. The right front intermediate driveshaft may fracture and separate while driving. ).
Front right driveshaft separated while driving causing a pull to the right.
The vehicle has had ongoing issues since it was purchased in June of 2017. The �shift to park� problem had to be fixed twice, the emergency braking system engages itself for no apparent reason which has almost caused several accidents, the horn does not work when needed in emergency situations, the headlights are so dim it's dangerous, the battery has drained and left my wife stranded 4 times, and the vehicle has a very rough idle and it almost stalls out. I attempted to work with gm to have them take the car back early (lease) and the request was recently denied. This is my 3rd Acadia and it by far is the most dangerous car I have ever driven. I am now reading about a fuel pump problem that could cause the vehicle to catch on fire, a driveshaft that may separate while driving, and a faulty braking system that could cause the vehicle to lose all braking capability. I do not feel safe having my family in this car and I am requesting your assistance to help me work with gm on a resolution. I entered the date that the vehicle first started to have issues, there have been over 20 incidents over a 2. 5 year period causing a safety issue or leaving my wife and children stranded.
