Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My fuel gauge occasionally registers as empty even after I fill the gas tank. This typical happens if I let the fuel go below 1/4 tank. This has happened since the first 30,000 miles and I was told by the dealership there was no recall or safety alert for this condition. It gradually goes up as I drive. It is my understanding this is a common problem with this vehicle and model year.”
NHTSA complaint #11415629, filed 2021-05, 30,000 miles“There is a water leak every time it rains. Once I could not shut off my car had to take it to the dealership. Said the drain line for sunroof had debri and water was sitting on fuse box. Water leaks in floor board. Yesterday, there is no sound in vehicle at all (no radio no blinking noise when blinker is turned on.)”
NHTSA complaint #11172764, filed 2019-01, 95,000 miles“Takata recall my vehicle is experiencing total system electrical failing, it started with a rear collision module and now it is other system like; airbag lights, windshield wipers, blingers, radio, etc. I have read that this is a common problem but no recall, we need help!”
NHTSA complaint #11179904, filed 2019-02, 40,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10559449, filed 2014-01, 10 miles“My headlights stopped working while I was driving on a highway. I pulled off the road & the drl LED lights around the headlights were still on, but the headlights were not. I tried turning the lights off/on, tried turning the vehicle off/on. My husband checked the fuses, relay, & sensors, as well as changed both bulbs and they still will not work. It was dark while I was driving, which posed a dangerous situation. Upon researching online, there seems to be other people who have had the same problem.”
