2009 GMC Acadia headlight problems

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

THERE WAS A RECALL AT ONE TIME FOR THE TRANSMISSION LINKAGE ABOUT IT POPPING OFF, I AM NOW HAVING IT POP OFF I HAVE NO CLUE HOW LONG IT BEEN THIS WAY SEEING AS IT GOES TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY NEVER SAID ANYTHING BUT IT HAD BEEN THAT WAY FOR A WHILE YOU CAN JUST LIFT IT OFF. HEAD LIGHTS GO OUT ALMOST EVERY 6 MONTHS ON THE DOT! I HAVE BEEN CAUGHT TWICE WITH NO LOW BEAMS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

THE LIGHTING HOUSING IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE TYPE OF HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE THEY OVER HEAT IT AND CAUSE THE RUNNING LIGHTS TO MELT THE HOUSING AND CAUSE THE BULBS GO STICK TO IT AND THEN YOUR HEADLIGHTS DON'T WORK . THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW FLUCTUATES BETWEEN WORKING AND NOT WORKING IT'S INTERMITTENT. THIS IS A SET UP IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR MORE THEN JUST ME AND I CAN'T GIVE YOU EXACT DATES BUT IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR A LONG TIME. I'VE WRITTEN TO GMC AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO RECTIFY ANY OF THESE ISSUES.*DT

I LEASED MY 2009 GMC ACADIA ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO, IT HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE. I BOUGHT AS IS SO DEALER WOULD NOT RETURN MY CALLS THAT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH PROBLEMS. FIRST, NOT EVEN 3 WEEKS AFTER I LEASED THE VEHICLE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED TO GO, MY DRIVER WINDOW STOPPED WORKING, MY BACK HATCH WELL I CAN'T EVEN OPEN IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO KEY TO OPEN NOR IS THERE A BUTTON ANYWHERE THE MECHANICS SAID I NEED TO TAKE IT TO AN ELECTRICAL MECHANIC...WONDER HOW MUCH THAT WILL COST?, MY STABILTRAK SYSTEM CONSTANTLY FLASHES. THE ENGINE BURNS UP TOO MUCH OIL EVEN AFTER AN OIL CHANGE WITHIN 3WEEKS I NEED TO PUT OIL, I DO NOT DRIVE FAR NOR ALOT. TO WORK AND BACK. IT WILL COST MORE TO FIX THIS TRUCK THAN WHAT IT IS WORTH NOW I'M STUCK WITH $5,000 LEFT ON A VEHICLE THAT IS A PIECE OF POOP. WHEN I DRIVE THE TRUCK PULLS AS IF THE ENGINE CANNOT GET THE TRUCK GOING. I CAN'T TURN OFF THE TRUCK WHILE PUTTING GAS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WONT TURN OVER ONCE THE GAS HAS BEEN PUT IN AND STARTED. THE MECHANIC SAID ITS THE TRANS EVAP SYSTEM. I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW GMC CAN GET AWAY WITH MANUFACTURING VEHICLES LIKE THIS WITH NO CONCERN FOR THE CUSTOMERS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

I OWN A GMC ACADIA 2009. I PURCHASED IT IN MARCH OF 2018 WITH 136,402 MILES ON IT. FIRST THAT WENT WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, SECOND MY STABLILTRAK SYSTEM AND TRACTION SYSTEM SAID MY BREAK WAS ON WHEN IT WASN'T, THRID WAS MY RIGHT REAR TIRE PRESSURE WAS "LOW" AND IT WAS NOT AND FOURTH MY BATTERY STARTED GOING LOW WHILE DRIVING IT. WHILE I NOTICED ALL THESE MAJOR ISSUES I NOTICED MY RADIO DOESN'T WORK RIGHT, THE LEFT SIDE OF MY CAR HAS NO VOLUME IN THE SPEAKERS AND MY LIGHTS AREN'T WORKING RIGHT. ONE BULB ON FRONT IS OUT AND I NOTICED THEY WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF WHENEVER THEY WANTED AND THEN NEVER AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER. THE BACK ON JUST FILLED WITH WATER FOR NO REASON AND BURNT MY BULBS OUT BEFORE I REALIZED IT WAS FILLED TO THE TOP. I'VE OWNED IT FOR 6 MONTHS AND ALREADY HAVE THOUSANDS WORTH OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

IN VERY COLD WEATHER (UNDER 20 DEGREES F) AND IN WET CONDITIONS (RAIN/CARWASH) THE REAR TURN SIGNALS DO NOT WORK AND IT APPEARS THE BREAKS PEDAL IS ENGAGED (LIGHTS ARE BRIGHT). ALSO IN THE SAME CONDITIONS, THE BACK UP CAMERA IMAGES STAYS ON FOR A MINUTE OR MORE EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING FORWARD. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE TURNS WARM AND THE VEHICLE HAS A CHANCE TO DRY THE PROBLEMS GOES AWAY. IT STARTED IN WINTER 2016 AND RETURNED WINTER 2017.

I AM SO EXHAUSTED BY REPLACING HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2009 ACADIA. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR 2 YEARS AND HAVE REPLACED HEADLIGHTS, CONNECTORS, WIRING, AND MORE HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE NEVER HAD ALL WORKING HEADLIGHTS AT ANY ONE TIME. THIS CLEARLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE! NOT TO MENTION THE COST INVOLVED....I DO NOT HAVE OVER $100 EVERYTIME ONE GOES OUT SO WE HAVE FIGURED OUT HOW TO REPLACE THEM OURSELVES, WHICH ISN'T EASY EITHER!

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

I JUST LOST BOTH DRL/LOW BEAMS. FIRST THE DRIVER'S SIDE THEN A DAY LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE. THESE ARE THE SECOND SET OF HEADLIGHTS. THIS REPLACEMENT WOULD BE NUMBER 5 AND 6 BULBS. DOESN'T SEEM THAT THEY SHOULD GO OUT THIS MANY TIMES WITH ONLY 66,000 MILES

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

THE DRIVERS SIDE DAY RUNNING LIGHT CONTINUES TO BURN OUT. THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE BECAUSE THEY HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE, BUT GMC WILL NOT FILE A RECALL. DEALER CALLED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO OFFERED A DISCOUNT TO ME FOR THE COSTLY REPAIR OF BOTH HEADLIGHTS WHICH I DID NOT ACCEPT DUE TO THE EXPENSE. GMC KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WIRING BASED ON THEIR OFFER TO ME. ITS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE WIRING RUNS HOT AND VISIBILITY CAN BE REDUCED WITH ONE LIGHT OUT. IT'S AN OBVIOUS ENGINEERING ISSUE.

HEADLIGHT OUT 1.5 MO AGO, THEN OTHER SIDE WENT OUT. MECHANICS HAVE TO REMOVE BUMPER TO GET TO BULB!!! $300-400 MINIMUM LABOR AND PARTS. STRUTS IF SHOCK ABSORBERS STUCK DOWN AFTER UP ON RACK AFTER 2 DIFFERENT TIRE CHANGES REPAIRS. CAR ROAD WOBBLY UNTIL IT WAS FIXED AT MY E PENSR. IS THIS BEAUTIFUL CAR A LEMON OR WHAT?

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

TOOK 2009 ACADIA SLT TO A DEALERSHIP IN FEB 2015 FOR THE GASKET RECALL ON THE HEADLIGHTS. THE DEALERSHIP MARKED THE RECALL AS COMPLETED. HAD THE OIL CHANGED TODAY, 9-25-15, AT A NON-GMC DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE TECHNICIAN TELL ME THAT THE DAYTIME LIGHT WAS JUST HANGING IN THE ASSEMBLY. AFTER LOOKING, I COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EYES. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE OVER TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS LOOKED AT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR REPLACING THE GASKET. I HAVE A HOLE IN THE HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLY THE SIZE OF TEXAS ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES WHERE THE GASKET WAS COMPLETELY BURNED AND THE BULB MELTED THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT! REALLY?!!! I AM NOT PAYING THEM TO FIX THIS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE SIMPLE FACT THAT THE MELTING HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY COULD EASILY MELT THE WIRES. THE WORST PART IS, I AM SURE THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ALREADY DAMAGED WHEN THE "REPLACED" THE GASKETS, WHICH NOW I AM SURE THEY DID NOT. SO I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND WITH THIS ISSUE WHEN THE GMC TECHNICIAN WAS SUPPOSE TO FIX THE GASKETS. EVEN IF THE GASKETS WERE ALREADY MELTED, HE SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME AND HE DID NOT. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND REMOVES ANY TRUST THAT I HAD WITH THIS DEALERSHIP.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT BULB HAS MELTED INTO THE BULB SOCKET. THE EXTREME HEAT CAUSED THE LIGHT HOUSING TO DISINTEGRATE. THE BULB WAS OEM. THE SYSTEM IS NON-OPERABLE AND GM SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS WAS ENGINEERED WRONG OR FAULTY MATERIAL WAS USED. THERE CERTAINLY IS A POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE GIVEN THE EXTREME HEAT CAUSED BY THIS SYSTEM.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A GMC DEALERSHIP ON MARCH 1ST 2014. THE VERY NEXT DAY I REPLACED A HEADLIGHT (NO BIG DEAL), A FEW DAYS LATER IT WAS VEERING TO THE LEFT VERY HARD SO I TOOK IT BACK. THEY SAID THE ALIGNMENT WAS OFF 45 DEGREES, SO THEY FIXED IT. 1 MONTH LATER THE STEERING STARTED LOCKING UP WHEN TURNING AT SLOW SPEEDS. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED BY THE GM DEALERSHIP WHO SAID IT WAS THE RACK AND PINION, AND STRUTS AND BEARINGS. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER AUTO SHOP WHO SAID IT WAS THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND REPLACED IT, THE LOCKING UP STOPPED. THEY SAID THE RACK AND PINION WERE BAD BUT COULD LAST A BIT LONGER. A MONTH LATER THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS COMPLETELY OUT(THE VERY FIRST TIME I TURNED IT ON), AND A MONTH LATER THE ENTIRE CAR IS WHINING VERY LOUDLY WHICH I AM ASSUMING IS THE RACK AND PINION FINALLY GIVING OUT. I HAVE SPENT 20K ON THIS VEHICLE AND HAD IT FOR 6 MONTHS NOW. IN THAT 6 MONTHS IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH. THAT IS ON TOP OF THE 3 RECALLS IT HAS BEEN IN FOR IN THE 6 MONTH PERIOD ALSO. NOW IT HAS TO GO BACK IN TO FIX THIS RACK AND PINION. THANKFULLY I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT THIS STEERING COLUMN IS NOT ALL COVERED. I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED AND TIRED OF THROWING IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WHEN I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME, AND THIS REPLACING OF THE STEERING RACK IS A BIT RIDICULOUS SINCE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT EVEN HAVE 100K MILES ON IT. I WAS TOLD IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, BUT WHEN I DONT HAVE AN EXTRA FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS TO THROW INTO IT AFTER PUTTING A HUGE DOWNPAYMENT ON IT, AND HAVING A BRAND NEW FORD VEHICLE FOR 9 YEARS AND NEVER HAVING TO PUT A DIME INTO IT. I AM SICK OF IT. IT IS WRONG THAT GM PUT FAULTY CHEAP PARTS INTO THEIR VEHICLES.

I HAVE NEEDED TO REPLACE 7 LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS ON MY GMC ACADIA SINCE 2011. THIS WEEK BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS WENT OUT IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD. REPLACING THE HEADLAMPS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE ITEM DUE TO THE LABOR INVOLVED (REMOVING THE FRONT WHEELS AND WHEEL WELLS). THIS COSTS ANYWHERE BETWEEN $150 TO $250 EACH TIME. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THIS HAPPENS SO OFTEN. THIS LAST EVENT HAPPENED AT NIGHT REQUIRING US TO DRIVE HOME WITHOUT ANY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS.

PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILURE. REPLACED BY RECALL IN 2012. NOW DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM OPERATES INTERMITTENTLY. PROBABLY NEEDS SAME REPAIR - BUT RECALL HAS ENDED.

NHTSA complaint #10510106 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

PASSENGER SIDE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILED. UPON INSPECTION, IT APPEARS THE LIGHT SOCKET ITSELF HAS MELTED AND CAUSED THE WIRING SHIELDING TO MELT AS WELL. ATTEMPTED REPLACEMENT OF THE BULB RESULTED IN THE SOCKET HOUSING CRUMBLING IN MY HANDS. THE DEALER CLAIMS IT WILL COST UPWARD OF $500 TO CHANGE MY LIGHTBULB. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS AND CLEARLY THE FAULT OF GMC, WHO SEEM TO HAVE PURPOSELY DESIGNED THESE BULBS TO OVERHEAD THEIR HOUSINGS, MELT, AND BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE WITHOUT TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. I WANT GMC TO PAY FOR NEW WIRING AND ILLUMINATION.

NHTSA complaint #10505148 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

THE DAYTIME RUNNING BULBS NEXT TO THE HEADLIGHTS OVERHEATED AND MELTED THE BACK OF THE HOUSING THAT THE BULB SOCKET MOUNTS IN THE BACK OF THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A DESIGN DEFECT IN THE SOCKET/HARNESS THAT IS CAUSING OVERHEATING. THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS FOR 2009 ACADIA AND OTHER MAKES WITH THE SAME DESIGN BUT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT CAN CAUSE A FIRE AND ALSO THE LIGHTS CAN SHORT OUT. THE BULLETIN IS #10-08-42-001: LOW BEAM HEADLAMP BULB DIAGNOSIS/REPLACEMENT (INSPECT BULB AND CONNECTOR) - (MAY 14, 2010) . THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

I ENTERED APPROXIMATE DATE THAT I FIRST REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP THE CONDITION OF THE LEATHER SEATS. THE LEATHER SEATS ARE PEALING. THE SUN VISOR BROKE OFF FROM THE MIRROR. THE CONSOLE WAS PEALING. I REPORTED THESE BEFORE THAT TIME, BUT HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THE GENTLEMAN AT THE DEALERSHIP WAS AVAILABLE. I WAS NOT PLEASED WITH THE WAY HE TREATED ME. HE ACTED AS IF I WAS NOT SMART IN REFERENCE TO MY PROBLEMS AND WAS BLAMING IT ON WEAR AND TEAR. ALSO I NOW HAVE A HEADLIGHT THAT HAS MOISTURE IN IT. THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED IT FOR LEAKS AND NONE WERE FOUND, SO HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN. I JUST HAD RECALL ON LIGHT, BUT WAS INSIDE THE LIGHT. NOW THIS IS HOW I FEEL ABOUT THAT. IT IS ME AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER AND SHE WAS 12 WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. WE USED IT FOR DAY TO DAY TRAVELS AND TRAVELING. I HAVE BEEN AND CONTINUE TO BE VERY CAREFUL AND SO DOES MY GRANDDAUGHTER, WITH THE WAY WE TAKE CARE OF THIS VEHICLE. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN THE FACT THAT IT WAS NOT TAKEN CARE OF PROPERLY. I NEVER HEARD FROM THE DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE REGARDING THESE PROBLEMS AND HE TOLD ME SHE/HE WOULD GET WITH ME. GMC CONTACTED ME AND THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND NOW IT IS STILL THE SAME. GMC HAS REALLY FAILED IN THEIR JOB IN WORKING WITH CUSTOMERS WITH PROBLEMS.
