This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2014 GMC Acadia. Upon entering the rear passenger side of the vehicle, the contact realized that the air condition was blowing out hot air. The contact drove the vehicle to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician found the system to be low on freon and the vehicle had an air conditioning leak. The technician recharged the system and added dye to determine the origin of the leak. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 20,079.
Battery gauge is reading between 16 and 17. Dealer said it was the battery having some type of leak so the replaced the battery for free. The gauge is reading the same so the service guy tells me it's the normal range. I looked it up in the book and that is not the normal range. It states to take it to the dealership and have them check the electrical. So I'm supposed to enlighten them on what they should have known from the beginning? very aggravated because now I go back Tuesday of next week for the recall problems and now this. It's like a dog chasing his tail. They sure all run to you when they want to sell you a new one but give you the run around over something they should know. Guess they assumed me being a woman would just accept that answer. This isn't my first rodeo.

Since the day I drove my Acadia off the lot there has been a "click" that occurs which sounds like it is coming from the engine that can be felt under the gas pedal when the vehicle is about to shift into 2nd gear, but only immediately after starting the vehicle and never again when switching between 1st and 2nd gear until it has been turned off and restarted. The noise it makes sounds like a marble rolling on a wooden floor for about 1-2 seconds and then click and then the gear shifts. The dealer said they didn't hear anything but I do as well as other passengers do every day. Additionally, when turning the vehicle at a slow rate of speed and then accelerating, the engine slams into gear when between 10-15 mph but only after a turn and an attempt at acceleration. Also, my Acadia is not a vehicle under the "faulty gas gauge" recall however once my vehicle is below 1/4 tank the needle on the gas gauge will jump from 1/8 tank to 1/16, back up to 1/8 of a tank all while driving on flat roadways. Concurrently, the range for the fuel on the digital screen goes from 95 to 58 to 72 all while driving with cruise control on at a consistent speed. Lastly, the vehicle has the denali grill which leaves minimal airflow from the engine compartment. Up to three hours after turning the vehicle off (in a cool garage) you can still feel the heat coming from the engine compartment if you place your hand in front of the grill. Could this be a possible fire hazard? all of these issues began when I purchased the vehicle with 60 miles on it and continue now at 15,500 miles. I drive frequently and can tell you that I do not feel safe in my vehicle but am unsure what to do as the dealer has told me there is nothing wrong with it. The only recall for my vehicle is the seatbelt issue but I think there are serious engine problems with this vehicle that need to be addressed by GM.
My Acadia has forward collision warning system and has not ever worked to provide any warning at any speed or under any conditions. I had a GMC terrain with the same system and it operated as defined in every circumstance. The Acadia, could literally be driven into another vehicle at any speed without any warning from the collision system.
