My 2012 GMC Acadia has had numerous issues that all lead to the fuel pump assembly. Three separate times, my cars ignition has just shut off while driving. When trying to accelerate from a stop, the car will struggle to move then jump forward nearly hitting the car infront of me. Stabilitrak warning comes on. Car randomly jerks while driving. Car will randomly not want to start but eventually does after multiple attempts.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 gmc acadia. While the vehicle was at a red light, the check engine warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle lost the ability to accelerate. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and turned off the engine. The vehicle failed to restart and was towed to an independent mechanic who determined that the fuel pump control module failed and needed replacement. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 107,000.

2012 acadia needed a replacement of the number 2 fuel injector in 2015, number 4 in 2016, and at the end of 2017 required all 6 replaced, plus the fuel pump. All 3 times these issued occurred while I was driving on the freeway when the vehicle warnings of service stabilitrak, service traction control, and reduced engine power started going off. The car then began to smoke heavily from the exhaust pipe and it was required to limp off the freeway, praying that I wouldn't be hit as I went from 75 to 40 in seconds.

Automobile stalled while driving and would not start. Service completed at chevrolet dealership on june 12 to replace fuel pump control module, which was a recalled part on gmc acadia's. I called gm and was informed my VIN was not part of recall and was told I would be called back with an explanation why. I never received a return phone call. Car stalled again while driving and would not start. Service completed at gmc dealership on august 12 to replace fuse block that controls fuel pump. Approximately 2 weeks later car stalled while driving, then restarted. Returned car to chevrolet dealership for service. They held car 8 days but could not find source of problem, though thought it was the fuel pump. Car stalled again on september 8 then restarted. Brought to chevrolet dealership for service but again they found no service code. Was informed with the number of miles on vehicle, 60,100, I should not be having these issues. Car stalled again on september 10 and will not restart. Will need to, again, bring in for service. Complaint is in regard to vehicle recall for my year and model, but not for my specific VIN, even though recall problem exists with my vehicle. Have had car serviced at gm dealerships twice at expense of over $1,000 for the same issue and issue persists. Gm has not responded and gm dealerships have been unable to solve problem.

Truck has a horrible fuel system. Driving down the highway and lost power in vehicle. Less than 90k miles. 2 bad fuel injectors already, a fuel pump replacement, not to mention other mechanical issues.
