My car was purchased with a power lift gate in 2012. It has always worked fine until one day recently I was holding my young daughter putting a package in the trunk when it suddenly reversed its motion just as it was almost fully open and came slamming down on both my daughter and I hitting me, thankfully not my daughter right in the head. There was no way I could have gotten out of the way of this door-the safety feature which would make it go back up if something was in the way was defective at this point and not working. There was no warning leading up to this event that would cause me to believe the door was beginning to break. My husband looked at it as well when I returned home and it continued to take place and forcefully slammed the door down. We immediately disabled the power lift gate; however, it was almost impossible for one individual to operate the door manually because it would not stay up on it's own and had to be held open. I have contacted GMC and have a opened up a claim with them but they have not reported that there are any open recalls on this car part. We are very upset and thankful that myself or my daughter wasn't hurt worse ( I did suffer a headache for a good part of the day). I feel that this was a very dangerous event that took place and there was no way to get out of the way of this door forcefully and erratically being brought down on my head. We have paid several hundred dollars at this point to rectify the situation and fix the lift gate. I have saved my receipts. The picture below is of the part that broke.

Front sunroof leaks and fills up floorboards with water. Known issue with sunroof drains clogging and poorly sealed sunroof design. Floorboards hold electrical equipment.

Everytime it rains the passenger floor gets wet. I can not see the water coming in. However, the mat and floor carpet is always wet after it rains, even if the front passenger door has not been opened or exposed to the rain. This has caused mold to grow on floor mat. This is an ongoing issue.

When stationary and using the back life gate. Back lift gate will open, then violently come down about 10-12 inches. Very likely to injure. If you hold it up, it seems to push down. If you are holding it up, when you let go it violently slams shut. It could severely injure someone. I was told by GMC that my vehicle was not part of a current recall for other GMC Acadias -- for the exact same issue. . They will not cover the repair as part of the recall, since my vehicle is not part of their recall. I am reluctant to have it repaired myself, as I believe it is the exact same issue address in the recall. If you shut off the power lift gate it becomes even more dangerous, as the heavy door will violently slam shut when you let it go. The date is a guess. No serious injuries, just some small bumps on the head -- but it has a possibility of injuring futher, for a shorter person or child.
