problem #2

Aug 192016

Acadia

  • 8,000 miles
On multiple occasions the vehicle has completely shut-down, while sitting stationary in traffic with the brakes applied (once at stoplight, another time backing out from driveway with brake applied prior to transitioning to drive) each occasion the vehicle was restarted with no issue or warning lights. 1st time taken to dealer, no "codes" were found and were unable to re-create problem, and sent home. Currently at dealer for the 2nd time and still unable to retrieve error codes or re-create. Currently contacting GM for assistance. Vehicle purchased new in December 2016 from North star GMC in Pennsylvania, and currently has less than 10K miles.

Acadia

  • 58 miles
2016 sle GMC Acadia center gear shifting component level does not indicate what gear the vehicle is currently in. P, R, N, D, L all remain white in color despite being in a different gear; an improvement (perhaps a color change to the current gear) is needed. Gear indication is currently located on a 2 inch by 3 inch screen screen above the speedometer in the instrument cluster. However, the steering wheel is located within the average persons field of view of the indication screen, thus making the indication screen useless until a major body adjustment, up or down, is made. Poor indication of current gear and the size of gear indication need to be drastically improved to prevent accidental gear selection which would result in wrecks and lost of life.
