Failure Date: 03/01/2017
Today with the fuel gauge showing 1/2 tank full, my Acadia ran out of gas and I was forced to the side of the road. Pt boat game. I have seen recalls for other year models for this exact problem, but the year my Acadia is does not matter to gm. This is a very serious problem that could cause a severe accident. Gm's recall number is 14007. In the affected vehicles, the engine control module (ecm) software may cause the fuel gauge to read inaccurately. An inaccurate fuel gauge may result in the vehicle unexpectedly running out of fuel and stalling, increasing the risk of a crash. They know there is a problem why not fix it.

In 2016, a GMC dealer sold me, and attempted to install, an update for my 'infotainment' gps system on my 2014 Acadia denali. The result was loss of vehicle usage on three separate service dates totaling 15 days. The reason for several service dates was caused by the gps software and the inability to not only download the gps update to the 'infotainment' system, but in the process, it caused damage to the entire 'infotainment' system; including, navigation features, the hands-free use of ones' cell phone, voice commands, and radio/entertainment systems, as well. The electronic damage required the repeated replacement (3) of the entire 'infotainment' system when GMC determined that the gps update software was the problem. While one would expect GMC to immediately correct the problem, it has now been three years since the vehicle was manufactured with a gps system that cannot be updated. To date, GMC has been unable to provide a gps update; only emails apologizing for the inconvenience with unreliable moving target dates stating when the update will be available. It is ironic that I must resort to the use of a dependable, readily updated $300 portable garmin gps for my extensive travels around the country. For those of us that must travel, I suggest a alternate make/model vehicle that has a more responsive manufacturer, and serviceable vehicle accessory systems.
