2011 gmc Acadia slt gear shift does not lock causing it to slip into neutral with slightest bump of shifter or sudden hard breaking Also passenger seat belt does not.lock at all when breaking and driver side seat belt never unlocks there are safty recalls on these issues for this model but.says mine has zero unfixed recall also defrosting and mirror defrost does not work properly causing me to have very bad visibility I had a close call when driving in Houston a week ago when I had to slam breaks due to a crazy driver who did not see me.and cut me off the lane my gear shifted into neutral causing me to not be able to accelerate after breaking to avoid the next speeding car fortunately I was lucky and was able to quickly shift back into drive and go there are electrical issues as well and there has only been one other owner and well maintained so I don't know what to do next my passenger nearly hit dash during this that's when I realized passenger seat belt does not lock

I took our 2011 GMC Acadia, mileage 80,637, to the dealership on 12/16/2017 because the display showed "service air bag." The service technician reported that he found dtc B0022 and B0015 stored in SDM, tested circuits, good. He found excessive resistance in both front seat belt anchor pretensions and recommended replacement of both front anchor pretensioners, cpa connectors with leads and reprogram the SDM. Repair estimate of $1,164.51. Charged $125 to diagnose. It was explained to me that the pretensioners are connected to and communicate with the air bag. In addition, the service technician found the front engine mount weak. Repair estimate of $447.85. The seat belt pretensioners and "service air bag" appear to be significant safety issues. I contacted GMC on 04/23/2018 to request repair assistance and to inquire if there was a recall, case # 8-4111443314. I was advised that I would have to pay out of pocket.

Acadia 6-cyl

  • 29,000 miles
I've received 3 notices about recalls. GM told me July the parts are now available, but when I call my dealer they indicated they'll put me a waiting list for when they actually receive the parts. Why isn't GM sending dealers enough parts to handle these recalls. My dealer is great it's just GM that is creating problems. Telling us they have the parts, then they don't send them to the dealers. My dealer is very frustrated over this as I am. Thank you in advance for pushing GM a little to get the parts to the dealers so that I (we) can get our vehicles repaired.

The second row middle seatbelt locks where I am unable to expand and use it. I have been to the dealer to correct the problem three times and they claim that this problem has been corrected, and this has been a on going problem. The reason I bought the Acadia is because I have a large family and I use the states in this vehicle.
