WHILE I UNDERSTAND IT WAS MADE FOR LOCKING CARSEATS TIGHTLY INTO PLACE, I HAVE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THERE NOT BEING A "RELEASE" OR "DISENGAGE" SYSTEM IN PLACE. YESTERDAY, MY SON WAS ALMOST STRANGLED TO DEATH BECAUSE OF THIS LOCKING MECHANISM. HE PULLED THE SEATBELT OUT FAR ENOUGH SO THAT WHEN HE RELEASED IT, IT STARTED CLICKING (LOCKING) AND THE BELT GOT WRAPPED AROUND HIS NECK IN THE PROCESS. WHEN MY HUSBAND AND I TRIED TO GET THE SEATBELT OFF OF HIS NECK, IT WAS SO TIGHT THAT WE ALMOST HAD TO CUT THE BELT TO RELEASE IT. INSTEAD, MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO FLIP MY SON UPSIDE DOWN AND TWIST HIM OUT OF THE NOOSE. IF MY HUSBAND HADN'T BEEN WITH ME, I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. ESPECIALLY SINCE ONE OF US HAD TO HOLD ONTO THE SEATBELT ENTIRE TIME SO THAT IT DIDN'T TIGHTEN ANY FURTHER (WITHOUT TWO OF US THERE, IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE TO GET MY SON OUT OF THERE). IF THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A "RELEASE" BUTTON TO DISENGAGE THE LOCK POSITION OF THE SEATBELT, THEN WE COULD HAVE EASILY RELEASED THE BELT FROM MY SON'S NECK. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON WHY THERE SHOULDN'T BE SOME SORT OF RELEASE MECHANISM FOR TIMES LIKE THIS. *TR [CMPL_TYPE] => IVOQ [POLICE_RPT_YN] => N [PURCH_DT] => [ORIG_OWNER_YN] => N [ANTI_BRAKES_YN] => N [CRUISE_CONT_YN] => N [NUM_CYLS] => 6 [DRIVE_TRAIN] => [FUEL_SYS] => [FUEL_TYPE] => GS [TRANS_TYPE] => [VEH_SPEED] => 35 [DOT] => [TIRE_SIZE] => [LOC_OF_TIRE] => [TIRE_FAIL_TYPE] => [ORIG_EQUIP_YN] => [MANUF_DT] => [SEAT_TYPE] => [RESTRAINT_TYPE] => [DEALER_NAME] => [DEALER_TEL] => [DEALER_CITY] => [DEALER_STATE] => [DEALER_ZIP] => [PROD_TYPE] => V [REPAIRED_YN] => [NICAR_FAILDATE] => 0000-00-00 [NICAR_DATEA] => [NICAR_LDATE] => [NICAR_PURCH_DT] => [NICAR_MANUF_DT] => [nicarid] => 0 ) [4] => Array ( [CMPLID] => 933932 [ODINO] => 10469402 [MFR_NAME] => GENERAL MOTORS LLC [MAKETXT] => GMC [MODELTXT] => ACADIA [YEARTXT] => 2012 [CRASH] => N [FAILDATE] => 20120426 [FIRE] => N [INJURED] => 0 [DEATHS] => 0 [COMPDESC] => ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING [CITY] => VINTON [STATE] => LA [VIN] => 1GKKRPED7CJ [DATEA] => 20120806 [LDATE] => 20120806 [MILES] => 350 [OCCURENCES] => 1 [CDESCR] => AIR CONDITIONER BLOWER SPEED DECREASES WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND ENGINE SPEED DECREASES.

I ONLY GO TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAD A SMALL WRENCH AND WAS ABLE TO TIGHTEN THE BOLT UP ON THE PASSENGER WIPER. THE REASON I AM SUBMITTING THIS IS BECAUSE THE FIX GMC SUGGESTED DOES NOT SEEM TO WORK. I AM SCHEDULED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER ON SATURDAY. I HOPE THE FIX WORKS THIS TIME. SEEMS THE SOLUTION OF USING A LOCK BOLT OR LOCK TIGHT WOULD STOP THE BOLT FROM COMING LOOSE. THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I HOPE THIS IS FURTHER INVESTIGATED.

SEAT BELTS

i would like to file a complaint about the seat belt "locking" mechanism in cars. while i understand it was made for locking carseats tightly into place, i have a big problem with there not being a "release" or "disengage" system in place. yesterday, my son was almost strangled to death because of this locking mechanism. he pulled the seatbelt out far enough so that when he released it, it started clicking (locking) and the belt got wrapped around his neck in the process. when my husband and i tried to get the seatbelt off of his neck, it was so tight that we almost had to cut the belt to release it. instead, my husband was able to flip my son upside down and twist him out of the noose. if my husband hadn't been with me, i shudder to think what would have happened. especially since one of us had to hold onto the seatbelt entire time so that it didn't tighten any further (without two of us there, it wouldn't have been possible to get my son out of there). if there would have been a "release" button to disengage the lock position of the seatbelt, then we could have easily released the belt from my son's neck. there is absolutely no reason why there shouldn't be some sort of release mechanism for times like this.

SUSPENSION

axle rod pulled out of gear box causing the entire wheel/tire assembly to fall down. according to dealer the assembly had not been "machined" at all at the factory and could have failed at any time. the rivets were not pulled out is how this determination was made. it happened with no warning after turning left onto the highway from my driveway at a low speed. car was unable to be steered or stopped coming to rest about 30 yards after failure. dealer has informed us that gmc manufacture requested the parts be returned to them and this may become a recall issue due to the fact that the rivets should have been flattened on the assembly line when hit by the machine, they obviously were not and they need to determine how many vehicles may be involved. this is a big, bad deal and could have killed us if we were traveling at any higher rate of speed. other lives are most likely in danger. the consumer stated the left front lower ball joint separated from the control arm. the rivets holding the lower ball joint were never installed correctly.

ENGINE

while driving on the freeway noticed the engine light start to blink for the third time. also notice the traction control come on by itself at the same time. while pushing on the gas pedal the cars rpm went up but the speed was decreased. i pulled the car to the shoulder of the road and turned off the traction control manually. i set for about 10 minutes until the light went away. i took the car to the dealer so that they could read the code history. the result was that the car misfired on cylinder 1, 3 & 4. the tech told me that they couldn't figure out what the exact cause was unless the light was on while at the shop. but if it was to happen again to take it back in for further review of the issue.

i purchased my gmc acadia denali in august of 2012. within just a few months, the service air bag light came on when i started the vehicle. it never went off until i took the vehicle to have it serviced. the dealership repaired it under warranty and within a few weeks it came back on. service trip #2 they got it to stay off for a short time again. service trip #3 they decide they should replace the drivers air bag to correct the problem. since the replacement i have taken my vehicle back in at least 2 other times.on march 25, 2014 i got my vehicle serviced and the light had been on the week prior but was off on this day. i did advise them of the problem and they said they had not heard of the recent recall. well today 4/4/14 the service air bag light is on again. i just called them and they said i would get my notice in the mail from gm and they are ordering parts. whatever that means. i only have 11463 miles on my vehicle and this is a serious issue to me.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

driving on the highway, conditions consist of very heavy rain. passenger wiper bolt came loose and cause the wiper blade to tangle up with driver wiper. driver wiper now bent, passenger wiper now stopped working. driver wiper now did not have enough tension because it was bent to clean the window adequately. i do remember a recall on this problem and did receive a letter from gmc to take the truck back to the dealer. i did take this vehicle back to the dealer in 2012 they said they addressed the problem. i only go to the dealer for repairs and maintenance on this vehicle. i had a small wrench and was able to tighten the bolt up on the passenger wiper. the reason i am submitting this is because the fix gmc suggested does not seem to work. i am scheduled to take the vehicle back to the dealer on saturday. i hope the fix works this time. seems the solution of using a lock bolt or lock tight would stop the bolt from coming loose. this could be a very dangerous situation and i hope this is further investigated.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

beginning about 4 months after i bought the vehicle, the fuel guage began to malfunction. the guage fluctuates from half full to empty. many times the guage shows 1/4 to empty but the tank is empty. i have run out of gas numerous times (at least 10 times) over the last 2 years because the guage shows i have gas and the tank is empty. took it to the dealer on numerous ocassions and the dealer said they checked it but found no problem. this is a dangerous situation when traveling on the freeway at high speed and i lose all power steering and brakes. i now have to fill up the tank when the guage reads half empty to avoid running out of gas. the gauge is completely unreliable.

POWER TRAIN

either i got a lemon, which is definitely a possibility, or there are significant issues w/ gmc as a manufacturer which is evident. the american car industry just won't do business differently but then again, they don't have to- they get bailed out by the government repeatedly. i leased this vehicle in october, 2012. the issues cited above, were related to 3 bad fuel ignition valves, they were replaced finally after i took the car back to 2 different dealers and nearly 6 months of complaining. the issue was when excelerating, the rpms would stick at around 5-6 when i was traveling around speeds of 45 mph to 60 mph. the transmission wouldn't shift into the next gear. this was highway driving, but will happen on 4 lane roads as well. during the same time frame, the stability of the car in ice/snow only worked if the tow package feature was turned on. otherwise, i spun out leaving our neighborhood going down a slope at speeds of less than 30 mph. dealer said it didn't make sense and did nothing. i just keep the tow feature on during snow/ice/rain. electrical issues, heating/cooling system wasn't working correctly, it wasn't heating unless the temp was put at 80 degrees. only thing dealer would concede was there was a kink in the hose. it's happening again- we have to set the a/c at 60 in order for it to cool the car down. very disappointed in this car. once again, the issue with the rpms and heating/cooling system is happening again. i'm paying off this lease early and hopefully will not get a penalty. this is a poorly made car
