I was returning from a doctors appointment and stopped to pick up my son's prescription. I turned to check on my son, who just turned one on Sunday, and saw his face was extremely red. I was confused because he was so warm and I had the A/C on blast. Apparently the back of my new denali Acadia 2014 was now only blowing warm air. I shut off the rear air rolled down the windows and fully blasted only the front A/C unit. I lived only 3 minutes away so I raced home and got him out of the vehicle. After a few minutes he woke up and started to appear his normal self. I went back out to the vehicle and retested the rear air not working. After I confirmed it I called the dealership where I purchased my vehicle. I have been looking this issue up on the internet and it appears to be quit common. Without my motherly instincts and former training my son could have possibly died from heat injuries in my brand new vehicle. I am extremely disappointed that this is even an issue I have to also worry about. GMC needs to get this issue resolves before someone does lose their child(ren) to this heat issue. www.acadiaforum.net/index.php?topic=12405.0 boardreader.com/fp/gmc_acadia_forum_acadiaforum_N_9340259/problems_recalls_tsbs_faqs_links_how_tos_10202903.html.
