Steering assist reduced, drive with caution message displayed. Steering wheel sticks when turning. Apparently caused by a faulty thermostat and/or temperature sensor. Had both replaced several months ago. however, both the message and symptoms have returned.

Thermostat of the 3.6L LGX engine of General Motors fails. This causes systems to run radiator fan full speed and GMC Certified Service Center said can cause the engine to over-heat and damage. GMC Service center said that entire Thermostat unit (box) needs replacement and due to its location in the engine, it will take 6 hours of labor. They also recommended to flush the coolant and refill. If I google for this issue, its reported numerous times on Acadia forums and seems like a very common issue.

Please have GM also cover costs of folks who have already fixed this issue with their own money, since the cost of fix is very very high. Thanks

No incident yet. Although at 68,567 miles, it should not need J0780 Timing Cover Gasket replacement costing approximately $1847. Powertrain warranty was 5 year 65,000 miles. I purchased in April 2017, so April 2022 was 5 years. Unbelievable.

GM put out notice in April 2019 stating side blind zone alert message due to water intrusion May cause issue with driver interface functions. Do not take your vehicle to dealership unless you believe there is a problem. Reimbursement by 4/30/2020 6 years 80,000 miles. Vehicle stopped working while parked in driveway. No start, no cranking, warning lights for security lock out, side crash detection, tire monitoring service and airbags displayed. Dome light for front door did not work while second row lights did work. Lift gate would not open. When stating issues to dealer prior to service were told they had not heard of anything that would stop a cars engine from functioning. Dealership repair stated this was due to rear blind side detection module and that the module shorted out cause all other circuits to go to ground, yet no fuses were blown. Starter fuse and relays were good. I asked dealer if this could have caused my car to stop while driving and they answered yes. Have corroded module and wire loom referee to as kit. Was told no way to circumvent system other than replacement.

At roughly 50,000 there is a transmission line leak in the vehicle. GM has already recalled 2018-2020 model-year GMC Acadia SUVs and other models for this problem due to risk of fire. Whether it is the same cause or not, such a problem leads to the same risk.

- Troy, MI, USA

Vehicle went on fire in or near the engine compartment - the entire front end was burned and car is a total loss. I was in the vehicle driving home with my children (a 5 min drive from their school) and we smelled what we assumed was a a fire pit or fireplace burning nearby; we got out of the vehicle, within 90 seconds there were flames coming out of the hood. Car was well maintained and received nearly all service at the RVC GMC dealership it was purchased from. Vehicle was also still under the warranty we purchased.

I brought this car from STOOPS and have been having this same issue since I received this car in March of 2021. Check engine came on within two weeks of me getting this car. The Intake air pressure measurement system MAP sensor and MAF sensor on my 2017 GMC Acadia which is causing other issues. My car is only at 100k mikes and I shouldnt be having the same issue. The MAP sensor was replaced in July of 2021. Here it is a year later and my check engine light keeps coming on and saying the same thing which is causing all these other issues to happen such as steering power system reduced which driving. Notifications about of transmission and engine issues because of Intake Air Pressure Measurement System. Every time I take it to stoops they have it for a couple days and I-€™m out of a car which means no transportation for work and within 10 days after I get it back the same issue appears. The car sounds like it-€™s going to shut off at any given time I-€™m driving. It shutters while at a light or in a restaurant line. It drives smooth but when I shut the car off it makes a whiny noise sometimes. I don-€™t feel safe driving myself and my kids in the car when different things come up all because of this intake air pressure measurement system issue

This Car, 2017GMC Acadia, started showing up on many occasions; and is getting worse. I park the car and put it into park. when I try to turn off the engine, a message shows up on the display SHIFT CAR INTO PARK. the car is in park, and I cannot shut off the engine, due to this message. The car IS in park, and the message tells me it is not. AND I CANNOT SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. I have to leave the car engine running until I try shifting gear shift back and forth multiple times and bingo sometimes the message goes away. Something is wrong here.

When the vehicle is shifted into park to turn off the engine the sensor shows it is not in park and will not let you turn the engine off.

My 2017 GMC Acadia shut off lost all power for a couple mins at a busy intersection in September 2020. All power restore after several minutes and attempts to restart. I took in to the dealership however they could not duplicate. Now on the 28th of December 2020, the vehicle lost all power again at the same busy intersection! no power at all! could not even turn my hazard lights on to warn traffic that was coming up behind me on the highway! the vehicle remained like this for 10-15 minutes! couldn't even have anyone push it off the road because we couldn't shift it to neutral either. I took it back to the dealership as GM advised and they still could not duplicate. The dealership tried but cannot make sense of why this keeps occurring randomly. I had my small children in the car this time and we are lucky we did not get rear ended! I fear that my family is not safe in this vehicle.

Gear shift would go into park but would not turn off engine, lock doors, turn off lights. Warning light read to "place in park."
