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.

While driving 30 mph on a city street the drive shaft of my 2012 GMC Acadia fell off. I was able to quickly move my vehicle into a parking lot to avoid further damage. Upon inspection with the tow truck driver we noted that the awd drive shaft fell from the under carriage of my vehicle. It seems that all six bolts had fallen off this drive shaft. Initially the GMC dealership refused to repair my vehicle which is under a 5 year 100,000 warranty as they said the vehicle must have been sabotaged but they could not provide any proof. I pointed out to the service manager that there was no evidence of any sabotage and let him know that I would be pursuing a warranty claim with GMC corporate as well as MA dept of consumer affairs. The service manager called me back about 30 minutes later to let me know that the general manager agreed to repair my vehicle this one time was while responsive to my request did not appear to address a potentially larger safety issue. I inquired about reporting this incident to the nhsta and they did nothing which is why I am contacting this organization directly.

Noticed a sudden shaking in the car when driving more than 25mph. Felt the car was unsafe to drive, so left it at a local tire and auto shop for inspection the next morning. The technician called to inform us that there should be 6 bolts that attach the driveshaft to the front differential. The car only had 3 of the 6 bolts left and of those 1 was bent. They were also all loose. He suspected that they were not tightened correctly at the factory. The car was towed to the nearest dealership for inspection and repair. This car was purchased in 3/07 and currently has 12,000 miles.
