2011 GMC Acadia Exterior lighting Problems

“I own a 2011 Gmc Acadia denali. I placed my order for this vehicle before they were in production which make this one of the first to roll off the assembly line. The driver's side daytime running light bulb needed replacing. I took my vehicle to the local dealer for repair. I was told that the daytime running light bulb socket had melted and the whole headlight assembly needed to be replaced. …”

“We purchased our vehicle in june of 2014. We have had to replace the driver's side headlight 4 times since we purchased the vehicle. Since the tire needs to be removed and the wheel well cover needs to be removed in order to change the light, we have to pay $80 each time we change the bulb. 4 times in less than two years is ridiculous. I have seen other complaints regarding overheating bulbs, so I will have that looked at next.”

“The daytime lights, the bulb has melted itself into the socket. You cannot just replace the bulb, you have to replace the socket also. This has happened on the right and left side. I did not know there was a problem with the bulbs being too hot until I was going to replace a burned out bulb. The I realized the bulb had melted into the socket. This tends to be a problem for the Gmc Acadia and should have a recall on it to correct the issue.”

“We bought this vehicle as a certified used vehicle on march 11, 2015. Since then I have had to replace the passenger side low beam headlamp twice and the drivers side once. I too have researched the internet and found the same issue with many of the same vehicles. The low beam headlamps are a safety item that is required to drive at night so there should be something done by GM. I would invite any of the customer care managers at GM to contact me.”

“I have a 2011 Gmc Acadia slt. My car is equipped xenon high intensity discharge (hid tvd) low beams lamps. Both passenger and drivers side low beam light sockets have melted inside each head light assembly. The low beam lamp connectors and portions of each wiring harness have melted from the intense heat of the hid lamp. I contacted Gmc customer assistance center to see if a recall has been initiated. No recall. I was given a case number and the contact information for my local customer experience manager. …”
