NHTSA complaint #10672134, filed 2015-01, 21,000 miles“In a rear end collision'another car hitting us, we were just beginning to move when the light turned green, he was coming behind us at a high rate of speed'the passenger seat came forward almost throwing me into the dash, then flew backwards, collapsing into the seat behind it. I did not know about this being a problem until I saw it on tv about child safety in the rear seat. If anyone had been in the seat behind me they would have been seriously injured. Surprisingly, I was not injured. The car was totaled because the rear was so damaged it could not be straightened.”

NHTSA complaint #10811261, filed 2015-12, 24,000 miles“The 2014 Gmc Acadia slt1 has the latch safety system on captains chairs only, not on the 3rd row seating. If you have two car seats occupying 2nd row captains chairs you can not fold the seats to access the third row. This is a surprising design flaw; considering the vehicle targets families.”
