 Description of the problemAs everyone else is complaining, power steering feels like it's out. Especially noticed in parking lots when turning into a spot at a low speed and pulling out into traffic at intersections. I bought this $40k+ vehicle to haul my wife and 4 kids around and it's literally falling apart. Serious issues with the steering, the gas gauge only works half of the time, the hot/cold buttons are wore down as you can't even tell what the '+' & '-' are anymore (and we had these replace once already under warranty) and the windshield fluid washer pump is out (and no, it's not just a fuse-already checked). All my kids are involved in sports and we put a lot of miles on per year. Very worried about the steering with my family, trying not to drive it much as we're trying to get rid of it asap before the entire country knows that they're junk! It's out of warranty, and i can't even imagine how much it costs to repair it, so just trying to get rid of this headache of a vehicle! We are actually driving around an old 1999 subaru outback with almost 200k miles, and it's much more dependable than our $40k+ acadia. Very disappointed! First question is, with all the complaints, why hasn't it been recalled yet? I'm guessing there has to be so many fatalities before a recall is appointed?? Second question, do the makers of the gmc acadia sleep well at night knowing their product is very dangerous and it's just a matter of time before people start getting killed?
