2019 GMC Acadia Exterior lighting Problems

“The headlights are not bright enough to safely drive the vehicle at night on low beam, and the high beam makes very little difference. It is worse when the roads are wet. When you put the high beams on, the lights do not seem to get any brighter. I have taken it to a Gmc dealer twice and was told the headlights are working the way they are supposed to work. If that is the case, it is a poor design and needs to be corrected. This has been an ongoing problem since we purchased the vehicle new,”

“Headlights are so dim that we will not drive the car at night. Dealer's service manager says that he knows about the problem but there's nothing I can do to fix it . I see a few similar complaints on this site, but nothing as to who to contact to get the problem solved NOR any action on this on the part of the NHSTA. Where do we go from here?”

“I just purchased this vehicle and within a day, it was already giving an alert that something was wrong. Says action required, shift to park . My car was in park. It was not shutting off due to the notification, which leads your battery to drain. The next day, as I was driving with my kids, the headlights start flickering, and then shut off. It left us driving in the dark and nearly causing a wreck because someone didn't see us coming because it was too dark. The dealership said they look at it, so I don't know what will happen moving forward. …”

“While driving the all the the service lights came on on the dashboard and the system as well as the stabilitrak notification. The car begin to not want accelerate and I had to put on the hazard lights on a drive very slow home. Upon arrival home the car would not start but would not power off either and the a Shift to Park warning message is displayed.”

“I have a 2019 GMC Acadia that has had no vehicle damage and less than 29K miles. The vehicle has condensation in the headlamp on the right front. No damage at all to the vehicle. Clearly a defect in the seal. Doesn't even have to rain and moisture will be apparent in the headlamp. GMC has offered to pay 60% of the repair costs of a $400 part and $1200 labor bill. This clearly needs to be investigated since they have had issues in the past of headlamps issues in the Acadia models and others.”
