Went to Burt Watson the end of May. Paid $250 to diagnose 3 problems. Trans was intermittently kicking into passing gear when starting from a stop position, a service engine light and passenger side blind spot warning would come on when nothing was there and other times wouldn't recognize a vehicle was there. Around the middle of July the battery began draining intermittently leaving me stranded at night away from home. The rear defogger began turning itself on and couldn't be shut off and was very hot to the touch. The drivers seat moved all the way forward on its own pressing me into the steering wheel and dash while I was driving at highway speed. Forcing me to change 2 lanes of traffic trying to get to the side of the road.I was told by the service manager that the rear fuse block had shorted out do to water intrusion from bad drain ports. This was replaced, and then I was told something else was draining the battery. And this was "one " of the things not covered by warranty. There is a service bulletin stating that there may be pinholes at the top of the a-pillars and d-pillars yet the dealership stated a new windshield was needed. There are several service bulletins indicating that such leaks can reek havoc on the electronics. The dealership has changed their estimate several times with still no solution in site. The vehicle has been sitting at the dealership since July. At one point it was communicated to me that GM would assist in the cost of the repairs when and if job was ever completed.They are now stating the cost to repair the issues is $5500 and is my responsibility.

Stationary, new vehicle possibly inappropriately equipped. A vehicle with a 2nd row bench seat providing seating for 3 with a center occupant seat belt but without head restraint (and no provision for head restraint). I cannot seem to determine if such a configuration does or does not comply with federal regulations. I cannot determine, therefore, whether I am or am not legally allowed to carry a passenger in the middle (inboard) seat.

Hearing rattle sound from 2nd and 3rd row from day1 for 2017 GMC Acadia denali. Primary source seems(something inside) seats in 2nd row and may be 3rd row. Rattle can be heard when going over bumps or bad road patches on usual city roads. Seems whenever vehicle goes over a bad road patch, 2nd/3rd row seats vibrate a lot and rattle sound can be heard. Sometimes I can hear slight rattle from around passenger side 1st row door as well.

The drivers side front seat has something loose under the leather. There is something that moves when you go around turns or stops. It also makes noises and pops.
