2014 GMC Acadia driver assistance problems

Filed Apr 30, 2023 · Driver assistance, Electrical · MI

Since I have owned this vehicle, my blind spot alert system has failed 3 times. In every occurrence, the warning lights in the mirror have been stuck in the "on" position. It has occurred at approximately 60k miles, 100k miles, and now 150k miles. In each occurrence, it was a defective sensor module due to the location of the module that allows water to get into the box. The blind spot light stays on constantly and no longer detects vehicle located in the blind spot of the vehicle. In every case, the cost of the repair was over $800 to replace the box.

For the second time, my blind spot alert system has quit working. The first time it happened, my vehicle was slightly out of warranty and it required a replacement of a part that cost over $800. The replacement worked fine for several years but has recently stopped working again.

Car shut off while driving. All electrical went out. Doors all locked while inside, key stuck in ignition. Started with side detection warning and within a few days car completely shut off while driving! Huge safety issue! Will not restart and still can't get key out of the ignition. Battery is fully charged but no power. Completely dead. There is a known recall on 2014 gmc acadias for electronic module failure but not our specific vehicle though this seems to be the exact cause of our problems. Gmc said they could not help?!

The contact owns a 2014 gmc acadia. While driving on the interstate approximately 50 MPH and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle's speed decreased after the service stabilitrak and service traction control warning indicators illuminated. Vehicle started jerking and would accelerate. Contact continued to drive the vehicle with the speed decreasing while driving down the interstate. I came to a stopping point and turn off the engine and restart it then the service traction control and service stabilitrak warning went away. The vehicle has not been taken to dealer for diagnosed nor repaired. It seem to be doing it more often now.

Was backing up on a driveway and was next to a car and apparently was closer than I thought and hit the car because my side detection system is not operating and no sensors or warning sounds went off. 'service side detection system' is on my dash.

There are hundreds if not thousands of 2014 acadia owners having a service air bag light come on and wont go off. There was a recall for all acadia's of 2013 and earlier that had a recall to fix this dangerous issue. 2014 needs to be included in this recall. This is a safety hazard and possible death upon impact issue if airbag doesnt go off due to gmc's negligence in dealing with the same issue previous models had. Gmc could face lawsuits if someone is killed due to this issue on this year acadia. Its approx $500 to fix and is a consistent problem across many owned acadias. My car has never been in an accident or had the airbag deployed. This needs to be dealt with immediately.
