I own a 2019 GMC Acadia SLT. The problem started after arriving at my destination and shifting into park. The message "Shift to Park" was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle can sometimes be turned off and sometimes instrument panel continues to ding and does not shut off. After several a
... ttempts the vehicle can returned to normal and sometimes it does not. This problem is a regular occurrence. No warning lights illuminate. The vehicle was taken to a dealer on my way home from a long trip. The service tech stated that there has been a LOT of complaints and he was surprised there were no recalls for this problem. The problem still persists on and off daily. The failure mileage was 49,000.Read more

the vehicle has a permanent cylinder 2 misfire. the misfire has at times produced an unexpected change in the vehicle's acceleration which could be dangerous in certain traffic conditions. The vehicle has been inspected by an independent service center who determined that the source of the misfire
... is either a mechanical component inside the engine or part of the valve train. I have been told that this issue could result in sudden engine lockup during operation.Read more

The electrical connector vibrated loose at the injector. The mechanic said he has seen this happen before and GM said its because those motors vibrate excessively. It caused my vehicle to run in reduced power mode. In that mode it was lurching forward uncontrollably and it felt like the transmission
... was banging. What damage will that alone cause in the future? Also, if GM knows there is an issue, why isn't it fixed? Why is the consumer responsible for poor engineering or design flaws? It isn't normal wear and tear or neglect on my part. The repairs including the part and the rental car cost me $640.45! Oddly enough it wasn't covered under any extended warranty or recall so I had to pay out of pocket. Very dangerous and expensive!Read more

I have had the ABS hydraulic module replaced several times by Firkins Automotive, now with the same Faulty Hydraulic module failing once again. The dealer had told me after the 2nd time this was replaced it was “junk” parts and there was no permanent repair. When this goes bad you lose all ABS

MY BUICK PURCHASED NOVEMBER 2019 HAS THE MISFORTUNE OF HAVING THE 2.0 LTG 4CYL TURBO. THROUGH RESEARCH I HAVE LEARNED THAT CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WITH THE PISTONS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ACROSS THE GM PLATFORM WITH SAME ENGINES. THIS IS LIKELY CAUSED BY A MISFIRE OR PREIGNITION IN THE CYLINDER WHICH WH
... ICH FEEDS ON ITSELF AS IT GETS WORSE. ALSO THE PCV SYSTEM DESIGNED FOR A NATURALLY ASPIRATED ENGINE NOT A TURBO ENGINE. THIS SYSTEM FUNCTIONS ONLY WHEN THERE IS NO BOOST FROM THE TURBO. THIS CAUSE GUNK TO BUILD UP EVENTUALLY BACK FLOWING INTO #1. SINCE LIQUID WILL NOT COMPRESS IT CREATES PRESSURE IN THE CYLINDER DAMAGING THE RINGS. I PURCHASED MY CAR USED WITH NO WARRANTY AND EXACTLY 100K. EVEN ON THE TEST DRIVE I FELT A MISFIRE BUT WAS TOLD IT'S NOTHING. MAYBE MY FOOT SLIPPED. FIVE DAYS LATER THE PREIGNITION HAPPENED AGAIN. CHANGE THE PLUGS AND WIRES AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR AWHILE. THREE WEEKS LATER WHEN I COLD START THE ENGINE IN THE MORNING TO WARM UP. IT WAS EXHIBITING THE SAME MISFIRING ALONG WITH A FLUCTUATING IDLE AND EXCESSIVE FUEL BEING BLOWN OUT THE EXHAUST. PULLED THE CODES ALL IT SAID WAS MISFIRE IN #2. BROUGHT IT IN TO SERVICE SHOP. THEY PULLED THE CODES WITH NOTHING REPORTING. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A NORMAL SITUATION IN THE BUICKS. BEING NAIVE AND UNFAMILIAR WITH THE MOTOR I BELIEVED THEM. I DID FIND A GM SERVICE BULLETIN THAT DID SUPPORT WHAT THEY SAID. CLAIMED IT WAS DOUBLE IGNITING TO HEAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTOR UP FASTER. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO EXHIBIT THE SAME ISSUES ALL ALONG IM BEING TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. FAST FORWARD TO LAST WEEK THE PROBLEM EXPONENTIALLY INCREASED. BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER. THEY COULDN'T "FIND" ANYTHING THOUGH THEY AGREED WASN'T RUNNING RIGHT. MARCH 7 ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. YEP SOMETHING IS WRONG BUT THE CAR IS NOT SAYING ANYTHING. THE TECH WENT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND THE MOTOR FAILED. A BORE SCOPE REVEALED SEVERE PISTON DAMAGE.Read more

THEY STARTED THAT THIS PART IS ONLY COVERED UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND NOT POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH THE VACUUM PUMP IS DIRECTLY MOUNTED TO AND CONNECTED TO THE INTAKE CAMSHAFT. MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED 3 1/2 MONTHS OR 219 MILES PRIOR, YET THE CAR IS STILL UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNWILLING TO HELP AND QUOTED ME $104 FOR A NEW AC DELCO VACUUM PUMP. I WAS ABLE TO ORDER A NEW AC DELCO VACUUM PUMP FROM ROCK AUTO FOR $43. AFTER RECEIVING THE NEW PUMP, A MECHANIC FRIEND WAS HELPING ME TO REPLACE THE PUMP. WHEN THE OLD ONE WAS REMOVED, IT WAS SHOWN TO HAVE DISINTEGRATED. THE INSIDE OF THE PART WAS IN MANY PIECES. THE PART THAT ENGAGES THE CAMSHAFT WAS ALSO BROKE INTO PIECES AND AT THIS POINT I BELIEVE THAT SEVERAL OF THOSE ARE NOW INSIDE THE ENGINE. AT THIS POINT I AM GOING TO TAKE THE OLD PART TO THE DEALERSHIP, ALONG WITH PHOTOS OF THE ENGINE AND DEMAND THAT THIS IS NOW FIXED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, AS THE POWERTRAIN IS DIRECTLY AFFECTED. HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, THE LOSS OF BRAKES COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC.Read more
