While in motion- blind spot sensors turn on when they should not and vice versa. Traction control has failed multiple times while driving. Predictive braking has activated improperly multiple times while driving. Cameras went out and then battery completely died. Was told fixing battery would fix vehicle. This has proven to be untrue. Vehicle is currently in for service for third time. Remains under warranty, as I have had it three months. Most recent date has been used but I've had problems since literally the first full day I have had it.

Recently purchased a 2020 Acadia denali. When parking at any incline the parking brake automatically turns on. Dealer is not sure why, but no where in the manual does it state this is normal. To disengage brake vehicle has to be put in gear with foot on brake to turn off. The parking brake should turn off when vehicle is in park with foot on brake but it does not. Dealer is unsure of issue and has an open case with GMC to investigate.
