Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My 2023 GMC Acadia consistently makes a sound at lower speeds when it is changing gears. For example, accelerating or accelerating for stoplights. The sound is kind of a ka clunk. The technician can find nothing and does hear the sound when we go for a test ride. I am worried that the sound indicates a transmission problem. The VIN search does not show a recall for my vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11721182, filed 2026-02“The back windshield randomly made a loud pop out of nowhere and completely shattered while I was driving in my car with 2 people in the backseat. This put everybody safety at risk bc the glass popped and shattered into the vehicle. There were no objects thrown at the vehicle and nothing hit the back window at that time.”
NHTSA complaint #11773406, filed 2026-10“The rear stationary/fixed sunroof glass spontaneously shattered while i was driving. I heard a loud pop, after i parked i checked the car to see what happened and found a shattered sunroof. There was no impact or known object that struck the glass.”
NHTSA complaint #11756784, filed 2026-08“Since late 2023/early 2024, I started to notice that my liftgate was open, while the Acadia, a lease with less than 15K miles, was parked in the driveway, off. At first, I thought it was a mistake on our part, that we had accidentally hit the button on the remote to open it or had forgotten it open. As time went on, the incidences continued and I realized it was happening on its own, while the car was off! When the Acadia was at the dealership this fall for a warrant repair (a pump that GM knew was problematic but only has alerts out about for now), I mentioned the liftgate. …”
NHTSA complaint #11629624, filed 2024-12“Vehicle would not run due to a failed fuel pump control module. With a non-running engine, the transmission could NOT be placed into Neutral to be able to movie vehicle out of the road. Needed tow truck to move vehicle. This condition placed many people at risk as the vehicle could not be moved out of the way until a tow truck arrived.”
