“We bought our 2019 Acadia with 4 miles on it. Just last weekend, the fuel gauge started keeping an inaccurate account of our fuel level including making the low fuel beeping to happen while driving. We pulled over, restarted the car, and we were back to half a tank. When I fueled up today, the gauge will not go all the way over to full and keeps sending the error messages/beeps. It only has 23,770 miles on it. We've never let it run out of fuel either. The dealership said there's not a recall on it so I wanted to let our problem by known!”
NHTSA complaint #11287657, filed 2019-12, 23,770 miles“Im a travel nurse and I was working in Vermont. As I was driving on the highway in New York on my way back home a shift to park light came on, a stabilitrak light came on, power steering light came on, ABS light came on, and my check engine light also came on. My vehicle started slowing down as I was driving and my lights on my dashboard were turning on and off and my speedometer was not working. I was able to pull to the side off the highway so I could get out of harms way. I made a call to OnStar for help and they asked to if I made it to a safe location. …”
NHTSA complaint #11648452, filed 2025-03“The contact owns a 2019 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that the fuel gauge displayed an inaccurate fuel level. The fuel sending unit was replaced twice; however, the failure persisted. The contact became aware of the recurring failure while refueling the vehicle and noticing that the vehicle consumed more fuel than the fuel gauge indicated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was determined that the fuel sending unit needed to be disassembled for further diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by phone. The failure mileage was 64,382.”
