2022 GMC Acadia problems

“Received message dash stating "Steering Assist is Reduced, Drive with Care". The AC turned off and temp gauge went to "C". Noticeable difficulty steering at both highway speeds and on city streets. While driving to auto shop the message disappeared, AC turned on and temp went back to normal. About and hour later while diving on the interstate it happened again and steering was difficult again. This first occurred on August 24, then again on September 12 and October 21 and again on October 25. No consistency as for time of day or outside temp. Lasts for a few hours then goes back to normal but when it happens randomly it does pose a safety issue with difficulty steering and no lane assist.”

“What failed & is it available? The infotainment/radio module failed entirely due to an OTA software update (Codes: U18B4, U0184, B1325). The vehicle and component are fully available for inspection upon request. How was safety at risk? The federally mandated backup camera is now too faint/dim to read, destroying rearview visibility. Bluetooth/hands-free phone pairing is completely disabled, increasing driver distraction risks and preventing compliance with hands-free driving laws. Is it confirmed by a dealer? Yes. A local GMC dealership inspected the vehicle and confirmed the module is bricked, quoting $2,286.00 for a hardware replacement. Inspected by manufacturer/others? It has been inspected and confirmed by the local GMC dealer network, but GM corporate has refused to physically inspect or resolve it. Prior symptoms? No prior warning lamps or symptoms occurred. The system functioned perfectly until it instantly crashed during the remote update on August 10, 2026, at 9:00 PM.”

“The car stalled while driving it. It would not restart. I received an email with error code po23f. The car had to be towed to the dealership for repair. P023f fuel pump power control module failed. Fuel pump power control module had to be replaced. Car was at 45,041 miles.”

“Electronic thermostat fails. Which causes steering assistance reduced drive with care to illuminate. Temperature gauge drops to cold. Air conditioning no longer operates.”

“The contact owns a 2022 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that while driving at 75 MPH, the vehicle struck a deer head-on. The contact stated that none of the air bags deployed during the crash. The contact stated that the driver's seat belt became inoperable. The contact stated that the plastic covering detached, the seat belt fell apart and slipped, and the seat belt failed to retract. The contact sought medical attention at a local emergency room one day after the crash for back and neck injuries. A Police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a service center for repair. The vehicle was not diagnosed for the air bag or seat belt failures. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000.”

“I have had multiple sensor issues with my Acadia since reaching 60000 miles. Currently, there is a thermostat sensor causing hard shifting, No cold air blowing from the AC, stabilitrack, traction control, steering assist reduced and fan running after turning off. I would not report it but I am in a facebook group where MULTIPLE people are reporting having the same issue in their Acadia's.”
