Description of the problem | During evening rush hour, the car stalled out completely while going approximately 75 mph on a mild incline on the highway. Gas gauge said approximately a quarter tank of gas. All power steering was lost, but i was able to drive the car to the shoulder of the freeway. A service truck put approximately 5 gallons of gas into the tank, but the car would not start and i had to be towed to dealership. Head of gm dealer service said nothing wrong with car and they could not replicate problem, and that the thing with this car is that you can't drive it on an incline with less of a quarter tank of gas or it might stall. Sales rep at dealer shared similar story of 2014 acadia stalling on him but as he told us, he was fortunate he was only going 25 mph. |
