My 2010 gmc acadia was sitting under my carport during an electrical storm. Lightening struck the vehicle, but did not strike any of the other 3 vehicles in the yard. This was the only vehicle with on-star. My family could have been seriously injured if we had been in the car. The entire elctrical system was knocked out.

While accelerating on the entrance ramp for central expressway, hwy 75, it became very sluggish, and all of a sudden had no pick up. I nearly got rear ended by a fast truck! Since april of 2011 I noticed that it had no pick up. The problem seemed to go away, when I learned to not accelerate too much to enter the highway, just gradually vs in a hurry. Then today, sept 2011, while driving at apprx 45 MPH on a busy road, the car seemed to pull back, and the traction light comes on, and beeps at me. It was a sunny, dry day. I pull over in a parking lot, turn off the engine, to get something out of my trunk, and it would not open - and, no, the override button was not on. Weird. I start the car, and the problem goes away, and I drive safely back to my destination. Why does the problem always exist when I am by myself, and watch, when I take the time off to bring it to the dealership, everything will be just fine. I pray that I make it to the dealership and they diagnose some sort of defect and fix it because it still is under warranty. I cannot bear the worse case scenario of anything happen to my family.
On 9/23/10 my wife exited our 2010 gmc acadia leaving the keys partially inserted into the ignition. Today 9/24/10 she heard a noise in the garage. When she opened the door she found the vehicle trying to start by itself. We do not have a remote starter installed. She removed the keys and took them back into the house. If the vehicle had started during the night while we were sleeping I may not have been able to send you this message. Later when I returned home I called the dealership where we purchased the acadia and reported the incident to their service specialist. They had not heard of this problem before. Has this problem been reported to the federal safety agency?
The battery on my gmc acadia died on the 15th february and the dealer could not identify anything wrong with the vehicle. The following monday the service air bag light came on and I was told the sensor was not working right and the parts were ordered. The friday of 2/26 the check engine light was on and the vehicle would not accelerate above 50mph and half the gas tank was emptied in 25 miles. During that friday the engine was still running even after I pulled the key out of the ignition. That same night the battery died and could not be jump started. The vehicle was inspected on 3/1 and the air bag sensors along with fuse box was replaced as water was leaking into the fuse box. All of this happened in the mileage range of 6800 to 7100 approximately. The dealer has replaced the fuse box and the vehicle is running fine so far.
