Stabilitrak always reports off and brake warning always displays on dashboard, while on or running. Had it looked at by 4 mechanics. Breaks are fine. Engine wont start after everytime I pump gas. I have to pump accelerator sevral times for engine to start. Had it looked at again. Problem is ongoing. Also, slowed down on one occasion while driving on the hwy. Had to pull over since accelerator would not function. After 30mins or so. Was able to restart.
Takata recall traction contro, L service stabilitrak, engine speed reduced light turned on in my 2011 GMC Acadia. Wouldn't go no faster then 15mph on a 55 mph road and the engine got really loud and rough. Was going 40 when the lights all came on driving down the road. This is very dangerous to drive when it keeps doing this. I'm scared to drive it now. Specially when I have a baby in the vehical with me. I'm not sure what causes it to do this. Some people say it's a glitch in the main vehicle computer, read it's a glitch in several different vehicals. This is something that seriously needs to be recalled and diagnosed and fixed immediately!

Steering wheel completely locked up during a turn a couple of weeks ago. Then last week I couldn't shift into reverse to get out of driveway. Had it towed to dealer. $1500 later I have new shifter and some sort of new gears in steering wheel. Looked it up and there is a class action law suit with millions of people having the same problem, yet still not covered under a recall. My vehicle only has 48000 miles on it this should not have happened if there weren't some sort of defect in manufacture.
I went to open the back of my Acadia, pushed the button and as it raised I started to put a window in the back and the liftgate made a strange noise and before I knew it the liftgate started to come down while I was still holding the window....it didn't stop even though it hit me and made my face hit the edge of the window and I had to push back really hard and then squirm my way out still holding the window. Prior to this happening, I have had no issues with the liftgate.
