On 2/6/20 after getting into my vehicle and turning on the ignition vehicle wouldn't start so the same day I had my vehicle towed to a certified dealer in union. At the dealer they first stated the ground wire to starter was chewed up so they replaced the starter and then a few hours later they stated no comunication with ECM & BCM. They then stated theyfound water intrusion on passage side fuse block that shorted out the ECM and BCM. At dealer they replaced fuse block, ECM and BCM. Well after $2027.05 later they was able to get my vehicle running again but now the car radio and my onstar in vehicle don't work, also traction control, ,stabilitrak, ABS & airbag service lights are on. Two weeks later my car battery died so I replaced dead battery with a new one. My thing is this if all these are issues that people all over are complaining about I truly think all these issues should be addressed and fixed a.S.a.P. before someone gets hurt or killed. By the way I just brought 2012 GMC arcadia on Nov.27,2019 and I shouldn't have to be going out of my pocket trying to get all these issues fixed.
While driving my GMC Acadia the car started loosing power, it then gave a message that said traction control off/on it also had stability track message.
I bought my car at the end of April. June 27. 2019 was the first time that I had the stabilitrak issue. At 102206 miles, took it to the dealership and was told it was the rr and rf speed sensors and right front and right rear passenger wheel bearings. Today September 9, 2019 and at 103003 miles it happened again. I was driving both times, and both times the brakes grind and I could feel looseness in the gas petal and it squeaks like an old spring bed. I am a disabled veteran and I only use the car to get to va appts, grocery store and general errands. I can't afford to spend another $1,200 to get this fixed. I have read online many of the same complaints. There seems to be an issue with this stabilitrak system and no one seems to know what to do to fix it. Please let me know what steps will be taken to fix this issue before I contact a lemon law lawyer.
After filling up with gas the vehicle failed to start. My husband jumped the car off and once started the check engine light came on with an error code of P062F. Now, it happens randomly but is becoming more frequently in last week' it will fail to start then the check engine light will appear with the same error code, while driving at times it will begin to stall until the gas petal is engaged again. Per the GMC dealership it's the chassis electronic control module however my vehicle year model doesn't fall under the recall, by one year.
My windows will roll down on their own while going down the road. I can only roll the windows up and down intermittently while parked and in motion. While driving stability control will turn itself off and blow some sort of gas through the air conditioning vents in the car, then it will start shuddering and slowing down the car to the point I have to pull over. After that issue started, my A/C will only work intermittently as well.

While driving at highway speeds last week my 2012 AWD Acadia having a major malfunction. 1. while driving, door locks engage/disengage 2. trans appears to slip into neutral (high rev/ no power) 3. on the dashboard digital readout the transmission "blinked" into P from D (while driving) 4. traction control engages/disengages and the vehicle lurches forward and hard stops 5. trans enters some sort of limp home mode where it allows me to drive only up to 60mph, @4000 RPM (like 3rd gear) this process repeated continually for over an hour drive to the dealer, normal operation appeared to occur at speeds below 45mph, but only temporarily and the issue continued again at the lower speeds. I call onstar and they pull codes for me while enroute to the dealer: ECM code =U0101 tcm code= none (failed to probe module) ABS code= U0101 ABS code= C0561 (issue with traction control system)- "service within 7 days" a quick search in automotive forums reveals several other people with almost the exact same issue, with no specific solutions.
On March 22, 2019, I was driving home from work on rte. 130, again in the fast lane, I hear that famous beep again, but knew I did not require gas. My vehicle read to service stable track once again and traction control off. My truck dropped down to basically no power in the fast lane on a major highway. Thank god I said my prayers that day, and three cars that almost plowed into the back of my truck and any accidents were avoided. I was able to put on my hazard lights, once again, and make my way over to the shoulder of the highway and was able to get my truck into a shopping center parking lot. I had the gas pedal all the way down to the floor, but my truck was moving at about 10 miles per hour'. nowhere!! I was scared but relieved because it could have been worse. I could have caused a major accident, or even been hurt. I contacted my dealership T&T coast in sea girt, and expressed to them my problem. I told them I just had this stable track/sensor replaced just a year ago, I should not be facing the same issue. They made false promises, promised to get me into a more reliable vehicle, but it did not work out due to my current credit issues. I ask if they could not get me into a more reliable truck, could they at least fix the issue that I thought was just repaired by the service department. They told me no, it was my issue because of the high mileage on the car. I have learned that a stable track/sensor or traction control is supposed to last the life span of your vehicle. It should not go due to wear and tear or high mileage. I also did additional investigation on my end, and learned that GMC has been having this same issue with many other customers, along with electrical issues.
I have been change many times the headlight day light of the driver side, stability control going on and stop my movement, I ave to wait for 5-10 minutes and unblock by itself, and the bottom of the rear ac sometimes are super hot.
The contact owns a 2012 GMC Acadia. While driving approximately 65 mph, the speedometer decreased to zero and the vehicle failed to accelerate. In addition, the traction control, stabilitrak, and the all wheel drive warning lights illuminated and deactivated. The vehicle independently switched to rear wheel drive. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the cause of the failure was undetermined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
