Description of the problem | I was driving to go meet my husband for lunch when all of a sudden my vehicle started to jerk and turned off. I turned out of traffic onto the first side street i found. Onstar found my location and sent a tow truck. Despite my vehicle reading i had 1/4 tank of as, i had actually ran out of gas. I have never ran out of gas in a vehicle. Several other times my gas hand would read inaccurately. For instance, my hand might show 1/2 tank of gas, but all of a sudden it would jump to 3/4 tank of gas. Despite having my vehicle repaired 4 different times for the fuel issue, the dealership says that mine is not being recalled. I decided to add my issue with the vehicle because i believe, like some of the other complainants, that gm is still hiding what is truly wrong with these vehicles. This whole situation is sad because i use this vehicle to drive my children to school. I think gm is still not doing the right thing by their customers. I have other electrical issues with this vehicle. For instance, just last week my navigation system wouldn't come on. After pulling over and turning the vehicle off and then back on again, it started working again. I 've had this happen also when trying to use my trunk and bluetooth. I also have an issue with the fact that gm thought the problem was so significant that they issued a stop delivery on the 2014 acadia due to the fuel issue and other problems including the seatbelt, but they do not think it is significant enough of a problem for people who already own a 2014 acadia to stop driving it. I think gm needs to think about the safety of its customers and families and be truthful about the recalls and what is really wrong with these vehicles. |
