"takata recall" on Tuesday June 19 I had pulled into my driveway just before my garage with my two small children. I put the car in park and got out to unload and prepare to transfer my one kid and then the other. It was 100 degree weather so had to keep the car running. After a minute or so being in park, my car began to drive forward with no one behind the wheel. My car drove off my retaining wall and landed vertically with my children suspended in their car seats. Emergency officials responded. I have video and will hold off fixing the damage of vehicle so that the feds can investigate. GMC also would like to take a look at it. Please let me know where to submit my security footage.

Nearly got in an accident while I was moving on a city street. There only a couple scratches but it happened because the gear changer has a silver design around the bottom and the sun was shining into my eyes. I was just driving straight.

The contact owns a 2014 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that there was premature rust and corrosion near the rear framing as well as corroded wiring in the vehicle. In addition, the vehicle stalled and was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that there was extensive rust and corrosion on the wiring harness. The red and white wiring was frayed and caused the wiring harness to rub against the exhaust pipe. The damaged electrical wires caused a failure in proper voltage due to the failure. The dealer diagnosed that the electrical wires and the wiring harness needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 42,000.

We have had the car since January and I guess today was the first day I have driven the car with the back windows down. I took my dog with me so I rolled down the back windows when I did this the whole car started shaking and you could see in the rearview mirror that the back doors shook hard. The shaking made a load racket that hurt me ears. It happened with either back window down but was worst with the driver side. It was real bad with both windows down. I did not get the shaken with the front windows down and the back windows up. It only accured when the back windows were down. It happened at 65 miles an hour and at 40 miles an hour. It has to be a design flaw because it was bad. I first thought it was a bad tire but it went away with windows up and only came back when back windows were down. After making sure the tires were ok, I played with the windows to see when the vibration started and got worst. The vibration would start when either back window would get a fourth of the way down and would get worst as the windows would go down. The faster I went the worst it got. No vibration ever happened when just the front windows were down and no vibration when all windows were up. The car would vibrate enough that it scared me and I think someone needs to look into it and test drive our car thank you
