Driving in the rain and the traction safety came on as I may have sled on some very wet leaves. I was able to pull to the shoulder and get out of traffic, as I gathered myself and got the car ready to drive off the tires started spinning out of control I awesome trying to get traction then the ABS light appeared and the brakes started grinding. Then the vehicle switch gears and the car begin to go in a jerky movement at 6 to 8 MPH the rpms would not go up and the car would not return back to normal gear. After praying I make it to my door the dash then said calibrate vehicle by driving in a circle. The car cut off twice but would immediately start right up then the dash stated engine is hot turn air off. No air was on at all. The thermostat temperature gauge was all the way up and all the needles were flipping up and down at different times. I could not seem to gain traction only in reverse and no engine light or any indication of any malfunction. Can you see why there has not been a recall on this issue because as I searched to see about this problem it has been hundreds of consumers with this issue. This is very dangerous and unsafe to all drivers. Gmc needs to do something about their so called safety features that are not safe at all. I could have lost my life because of the weather condition and the car losing traction and the tires spinning out of control. It was almost like the computer did not know how to shut down. Please help

I bought my gmc acadia in december of 2009. A few days in I noticed a whirring sound in turning. I was told by the dealership that it was normal, a design flaw with brushes in the steering column. June 20110 entire electrical motherboard failed, six months later the water pump failed. Brought the car in 3 times for airbag lights. I sensor was replaced then I was told to just "keep something heavy in the seat". For eight months ABS and brake light chimed with nothing wrong. I reported that the air conditioner was not cooling only to be told it was all good, of course until the warranty was out then a repair of $600. Now that so called design flaw and whirring noise has turned into power steering failure an leak in power steering rack , !000 repair not covered by the recall of power steering pump. Unreal. What a bunch of crooks. The worst part is the gmc dealers pretend they know nothing about any issues and accept responsibility for nothing all. I am sure it is a protocol to delay and major diagnosis until a warranty is expired.

2010 acadia transmission and traction control safety problems. While driving 70mph on the highway, the traction control system alarm came on in addition to a flashing stability control and ABS warning lights. The rear passenger wheel locked up, the transmission downshifted into 3rd gear causing the vehicle to veer into the right lane. Additionally, we have been having power steering pum problems with the vehicle which made the vehicle difficult to control in this circumstance. Fortunately, there was no other vehicle in the right lane and maanged to pul the vehile off the road. I had my family in the vehile at the time which made everyone very scared for their safety. The vehicle was turned off and restarted which erased the ABS and traction control warnings, but the engine check light remained on and was unable to keep the transmission in drive. The dealer replaced some ecms, but could not fix the power steering issue. Three weeks later, the transimission started shifting hard and after 2 visits to the dealer is not being ivestigated for another ECM failure. The electric systems and power steering issues make this is a very unsafe vehicle.
