The fans, specifically the a/c fan does not kick on when turning on the a/c and the low speed fan does not kick on at all until the secondary temp fan kicks on after the temperature raises past the normal operating range. Which an overheating engine is bad for all parts of the engine which can and sooner or later will lead to a catastrophic failure putting the operator and other motorists life's at risk.This time it created a small fire that was extinguished only because the fuse box cover was off and I was looking at it as it happened, putting the cover back on extinguished the fire.

I was able to maintain pretty good control but did hit either a rock or stick or something that punctured my wheel sidewall. Unsure if a tree limb then got caught and tore off my bedcover that then left a small dent on the c column on the passenger side. I was able to put my truck in 4wd to get back fully into the roadway and walk about to see potential damage. At that time I only saw my tire was loosing air and bedcover was off aside from the airbag deployment. I slowly made my way home to assess further during complete daylight. I was not injured other than a cut on the hand due to the bedcover and a headache from the deployment. No hard hit or collision and truck did not make contact with tree trunk or any front end damage that would ordinarily come from someone going into the ditch. Reached out to a shop to have them check it out and see if they can see any reason why those airbags would have deployed without force then causing an incident","canonical_url":"https://api.morvs.ai/vehicle-complaint/2200660"},{"cmplid":"2200213","date_received":"2026-04-24","make":"GMC","model":"ACADIA","model_year":2025,"deaths":0,"injured":0,"fire":0,"crash":1,"component_desc":"SERVICE BRAKES","description":"We filled a report on 04/04/2026 with NHTSA at 12:16 pm but can't find a copy of the whole report.  My husband John Chandler was driving our 2025 GMC Avadia Elevation. He was backing out of a parking place when he noticed it wouldn't stop while putting his foot on the break. He was able to put it into drive and it lundged forward and wouldn't stop. He kept pushing with both feet on the break and wouldn't stop. I tried pushing the start button to stop but because his feet were on the break it would restart so then pushed the park button and it stopped as we hit the building.  The air bags did not depoy so not going that fast.  I pushed the button for 911 and they came on to assist and call police.  They asked if everyone was al right and other questions.  Lucky no one was hurt and thank God for that.  Tow truck was called and taken to local tow yard.  The 2025 Acadia was transported to the repair shop but has not been inspected by the insurance company or GMC yet.  After repairs are complete it will be taken to the local GMC dealer Ron Smith in Merced, CA for inspection.  We did not notice andy warning messages prior to the accident.","canonical_url":"https://api.morvs.ai/vehicle-complaint/2200213"},{"cmplid":"2199249","date_received":"2026-04-22","make":"GMC","model":"YUKON XL","model_year":2016,"deaths":0,"injured":0,"fire":0,"crash":1,"component_desc":"ENGINE","description":"My wife was driving down the highway and out of no where there was a loud taping sound, the vehicle started running real bad (skipping), the vehicle lost power and she lost control of the steering.
