2016 GMC Acadia Electrical System

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2016 GMC Acadia. The contact discovered a mileage discrepancy after purchasing the vehicle. The vehicle was a dealer sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 180,000. The contact stated that it was later discovered upon checking the vehicle information settings, that the mileage was 300,000.

SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM WARNING STARTED ALERTING ME A FEW WEEKS BACK. THIS NOW IS THE SECOND TIME THAT IT HAS AFFECTED ALL THE ELECTRONICS IN MY CAR. SENDING ME RANDOM ERROR MESSAGES AND AFFECTING THE CAR FROM OPERATING IN A SAFE CONDITION. CAR WOULD NOT START FOR 40 MIN. ONCE I FINALLY GOT IT STARTED, NONE OF THE GAUGES WORKED AND TURN SIGNALS WERE NOT GOING OFF IN THE CAR. LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO HOME, BUT THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF I WAS FAR FROM HOME. CAR WAS NOT IN MOTION AS I STARTED TO NOTICE ISSUES AND PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NOTICED AS I WAS PULLING UP TO A STOP AND THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY AND STARTED TO GET TRACTION NOTICES FROM THE SYSTEM IN THE CAR.

SIDE DETECTION MODULES FAILED, DON'T WORK AND NOTIFY OF BLIND SPOTS

SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED ON THE DRIVER INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND SIDE BLIND ZONE LIGHTS IN MIRRORS ARE ALWAYS ON. CONDITION HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT SINCE ABOUT 50000 MILES AND NOW IS IN THE CONDITION PERMANENTLY RENDERING THIS SAFETY FEATURE USELESS.

SIDE BLIND SPOT DETECTION MODULES NOT WORKING. THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD IN GENERAL, BUT CAUSES AN ELECTRICAL SHORT INTERNALLY AND CAUSES OTHER ELECTRUCAL PARTS TO MALFUNCTION SUCH AS: AIR BAGS IGNITION BLINKERS REAR BACK UP CAMERA FRONT CRASH DETECTION THESE ARE ALL MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES THAT HAPPEN ON THE ROAD, IN MOTION FOR MY FAMILY IN THE CAR AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. WE NEED TO GET IT FIXED BUT, PARTS ARE BACK ORDERED AND NOT AVAILABLE FOR ALMOST 6 MONTHS NOW. IT'S A $1200 REPAIR AND IS RE OCCURRING PROBLEM FROM WHAT THE DEALER HAS SAID.. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SERVICE FOR JUST OVER 3 YEARS AND SHOULD BE SAFE TO DRIVE FOR A MUCH LONGER DURATION THAN THAT. THANKS
