Description of the problem | When accelerating between 10 and 20 miles per hour, something underneath the body of the car, moves in a circular motion and clunks underneath the gas pedal. This movement can be felt under the gas pedal and floor as well as heard. This occurs 80-90 percent of the time after starting the vehicle. The vehicle also shifts hard into gear at about this mph. The dealership has tested several acadias and found a gm bulletin on this event. The gm bulletin indicates this is a "normal" cycling of the abs brake system that occurs on the acadia and chevy traverse models. So far gm has been unwilling to resolve this issue, yet because it is a brake issue and is felt under the gas pedal, the safety of this vehicle is highly concerning to me. I drive a variety of vehicles for work and do not experience this rotation and clunk with any other vehicle. I am concerned about my safety. *js |
