2010 GMC Acadia electrical system problems

“I NOTICED BOTH OF MY DRIVING LIGHTS HAD GONE OUT AND WENT TO REPLACE. THEY ARE THE HID HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES AND THE DRIVING LIGHT SOCKETS AND BULBS MELTED TOGETHER RESULTING IN CRACKING THAT REFLECTOR/PROJECTION IN THE ASSEMBLY.MY VIN IS NOT THE "VIN SPECIFIC" INCLUDED IN THE SPECIAL RECALL 14283, BUT I HAVE THAT EXACT ISSUE.”

“I HAVE HAD 2 ENGINES REPLACED IN THIS TRUCK AND NOW THE AIR CONDITIONING IS NOT WORKING AND PLUS NO POWER STEERING. THE TRUCK WILL STEER UPON SPEED. CANNOT PARALLEL PARK BECAUSE OF THIS. WHEN MAKING A TURN REGARDLESS OF LEFT OR RIGHT I HAVE TO STEP ON THE GAS IN ORDER TO STEER THE CAR.”

“I OWN A 2010 GMC ACADIA... I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE LOW BEAMS ON BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE NUMEROUS TIMES!!!!!!!! I'M A SINGLE MOTHER OF 3... NOT ONLY IS IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR YOUR HEADLIGHTS TO GO OUT AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT(ESPECIALLY WHEN MY CHILDREN ARE IN THE VEHICLE...

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2016 AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY TWICE ALREADY. THIS VEHICLE HAS KILLED CELLS IN MULTIPLE BATTERIES. #2 THE TRANSMISSION.

I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT OF COURSE THE ISSUE WOULD REPLICATE DURING THEIR TEST DRIVE SO THEY COULDN'T DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE TRUCK WILL NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY, BUT THE PROBLEM NORMALLY CORRECTS IF YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE TRUCK WILL NOT SHIFT GEARS. THIS IS PROBLEMATIC WHEN YOU HAVE A TODDLER IN THE VEHICLE AND NEED TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT IN TO 3RD GEAR, THEN YOU HAVE TO TRY TO SAFELY FIND A SHOULDER AND HOPE THAT TURNING OFF/TURNING ON THE VEHICLE WILL FIX THE ISSUE. SOMETIMES IT'S A 1X FIX; OTHER TIMES THE VEHICLE HAS TO THE RESTARTED 3X TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL…”

“TRUCK WONT CRANK! NEW BATTERY, STARTER & ALTERNATER PASSED. BOOSTED IT OFF CRANKED STRAIGHT UP, PARKED FOR A HOUR, WOULDN'T CRANK AGAIN. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT.”
