Blind Spot Detection Problems of GMC Acadia - part 2

While driving in the rain on a highway, I experienced the blind side detection warning . The system shut itself down and no longer gave any side detection at all. After contacting GMC, they said there were no recalls on the vehicle. I saw a service bulletin online, n172097060, but they said my vehicle was not included.

The contact owns a 2017 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that on various occasions, the "service side detection system" warning message was illuminated and the vehicle had lost motive power. The vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the side blind zone module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred, and the vehicle lost motive power again and failed to restart. The vehicle was then towed to brennan Buick GMC (383 state rte 3, plattsburgh, NY 12901), where it was diagnosed that the side blind zone module needed to be replaced again. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred, and the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the "service side detection system" warning message was illuminated. The vehicle was not yet taken to an independent mechanic or local dealer for diagnosis and repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

The side blind zone alert system failed last year and caused the car to die and leave me stranded. The vehicle was still under manufacturers warranty and the dealership stated that the side blind zone system was faulty and replaced the module and sensors. A little over a year later and the system is doing the same thing. I will have to replace the module and sensors. This should not be my problem, GMC has created a faulty sensor system and now consumers are having to dish out 700 plus dollars for the repair. There is a �bulletin� that conveniently does not cover al VIN numbers mine included! how can that be possible if it's the same faulty system? I would like this repair to made by the manufacturer and there should be a class action lawsuit regarding this matter. The vehicle died as I was pulling into a parking lot, thank god! I had to have it towed and repaired.

I have had the "side detection system" fail twice in 2 years. I see there is an open recall (n172097060) for this issue but this does not come up saying my vehicle is affected when I search the VIN. I believe there is more vehicles included than the 131,652 they is claimed in this report.
