Description of the problem | Purchased 2010 gmc acadia used. At 125000 miles, engine shuts off while driving, rendering it impossible to get out of the way. Had to get towed in. Mechanic said corrosion in some wires. 2 weeks later, wouldn't start, called tow truck, suddenly started. Had to spend $1200 having sensor replaced from water damage. Had to pay $300 for new windshield because said that is where it was leaking. 3 weeks later, wouldn't start, mechanic said two fuses needed replaced. 1 week later, wouldn't start, paid another tow, then started. Tow truck followed me to dealership. Dealership called, said it was starting fine. Couldn't diagnose if it kept starting. Told me to come get it. On my way to dealership, they called back to say, "bingo", it started. Next day, diagnosed it is the onstar module. Wth! $700 more dollars down the drain. Seriously! It isn't covered under any recalls. I will never purchase another gmc................. Ever! Costing a fortune to keep it going. I'm on a fixed income for crying out loud. Still owe for the vehicle, trading my lemon is not an option at this point. |
