In my 2011 GMC Acadia slt1 the headlights specifically the low beams are very dim regardless of the bulb considering I take tried all from the lowest priced to the most expensive. While using the loftier beams there appears to be a shadow in the shape of mickey mouse'due south head in the central expanse of vision.

I accept a 2011 Acadia denali with manufactory xenon hid lights. Both daytime running calorie-free housings and connectors have melted. The passenger side bulb has melted itself to the socket itself. The housing has melted and cracked. Both are no longer reflective or functional as daytime running lights. This is apparently a issue for all Acadias. A fire is inevitable.

2011 Acadia denali, has hid headlights for night time driving, and traditional incandescent lights for daytime running lights (drl). I noticed the driver's side drl bulb was burned out approximately a week ago (so ~5/12/2019), when I when to remove it to see what size bulb was needed role of the projector housing broke off with the bulb. I and then noticed that the bulb socket was partially melted, and the dust seal around the bulb is also partially melted (brown and starting to cook). I too looked at the passengers side and, without removing the bulb, you can come across that the projector housing on that side is also starting to bubble/melt. The drivers side seedling is melted enough that I cannot remove the entire bulb from the socket, but the glass wants to pull free. I feel lucky information technology didn't outset a fire.

I take a 2011 GMC Acadia slt. My car is equipped xenon loftier intensity belch (hid tvd) low beams lamps. Both passenger and drivers side low axle calorie-free sockets have melted inside each caput light assembly. The low axle lamp connectors and portions of each wiring harness take melted from the intense rut of the hid lamp. I contacted GMC customer assistance center to see if a call up has been initiated. No recall. I was given a case number and the contact information for my local customer experience manager. I was encouraged to schedule an appointment at the dealership so my light issue could be looked into past a GMC maintenance team. I was encouraged to resolve my lighting event with my customer experience director.

Headlight bulb and assembly system completely melted! went to supplant the bulbs that I idea were simply blown out simply the bulbs exploded and melted everything. Took it to the local dealership to fix and they said it would cost $2500 to fix in ordering new assembly. They said they accept seen this happen on Acadias earlier. I went online and sure enough melted headlights and wiring were a mutual problem. When I called the headquarters client service line to inquire if a recall had been issued a strange gentleman wrote downwards my information and said someone will get back with yous but there should be no reason it melted unless someone or something happened to information technology. I've never been in a wreck ever. I asked the guy what it would take to get this stock-still me or 1 of my kids dying in a wreck and is suing yous to make sure we have a safe vehicle. I told him I didn't appreciate his I don't care attitude towards my feelings of having pocket-sized children in a car that has a part that is common and known to cook and not become fixed.

Daytime running lights take overheated on both sides and take melted the plastic housing. The lights are extremely hot in a bars space and are in very shut proximity to a flammable cloth. I noticed smoke coming out of the headlight and saw that it has melted the housing to the signal where the seedling is now sitting directly on the melted plastic housing. These are the running lights....not the principal headlights.

I have a 2011 GMC Acadia. I purchased this vehicle used in late 2013. This is the 6th time I have needed to replace my lowbeams. Final night heading home from work effectually dusk I was driving down the highway and someone pulled out in front of me and I had to swerve to avoid hit him. I lost drivers side two days ago and lost the passengers headlight as I started upwards my vehicle leaving piece of work. It was credible that he did not see my vehicle as all the other vehicles had their lights on. This is clearly a design consequence that if immune to continue significantly increases the chance of an accident which puts my family in danger. Delight address this increased risk to my family and other families that are on the road with these vehicles.

The daytime running lamp on the driver side completely melted and began melting the surrounding casing. The other daytime running lamp is first to do the same thing. Possible burn down hazard. These are the original lamps when I purchased the vehicle new.

Nosotros bought this car in Feb. 2016 used with only 66,000 miles. About 2 months afterward we purchased it, the passenger depression axle calorie-free went out. I purchased a seedling to replace, only information technology proved to exist hard. I had 3 open recalls and so I brought motorcar in to dealer. The night before bringing it in, commuter low beam lite went out. I asked dealer to replace bulbs while vehicle was there. Received a phone call from the dealer that the bulbs could not be replaced because headlight housing was melted!!!! this seems to be a recurring problem with Acadias and a retrieve should be issued!!!!

The daytime lights, the bulbs keep called-for out. I have replaced both the left and right side lo axle lights 4 ttime now. This tends to exist a problem for the GMC Acadia and should have a remember on information technology to correct the issue. Many appear to have the bodily sockets melted I have non experience that but within the lat 12 months I have replaced the lo axle lights 4 times this should be investigated as this time they both went out within the same drive and I was left with simply how-do-you-do axle but luckily I was shut to home.

The daytime lights, the bulb has melted itself into the socket. Y'all cannot only replace the bulb, you accept to replace the socket too. This has happened on the right and left side. I did non know there was a problem with the bulbs being too hot until I was going to replace a burned out bulb. The I realized the seedling had melted into the socket. This tends to be a problem for the GMC Acadia and should have a recall on information technology to correct the result.

We bought this vehicle as a certified used vehicle on March 11, 2015. Since so I accept had to supercede the passenger side low beam headlamp twice and the drivers side once. I besides have researched the internet and institute the same result with many of the same vehicles. The depression beam headlamps are a safety particular that is required to bulldoze at night then there should be something washed past GM. I would invite any of the customer intendance managers at GM to contact me.

We purchased our vehicle in June of 2014. Nosotros have had to supersede the driver's side headlight 4 times since we purchased the vehicle. Since the tire needs to be removed and the wheel well cover needs to be removed in order to alter the light, we accept to pay $80 each time nosotros alter the bulb. 4 times in less than two years is ridiculous. I have seen other complaints regarding overheating bulbs, so I will have that looked at next.

Daytime running lights seedling melting, both left and right side, resulting in burning of headlight housing. Bulb tin can no longer be held in identify because mounting fixture is melted away. The existing bulbs are made of plastic. I believe the filament is overheating the plastic bulb and causing a potential burn run a risk.

My 2011 GMC Acadia denali had a drl go out. It was taken to the dealership and a new bulb was replaced. They informed me it notwithstanding did not piece of work with just a new bulb. The Acadia was then taken back to the dealership and was looked at once more and they were able to fix the calorie-free and become information technology running. I got home a week later and noticed the passenger side bulb was at present out. As I looked into the housing I can see the headlight housing was slightly melted and becoming severely cracked where the bulb is no longer being secured by the light. Afterwards seeing that I proceeded to look at the original light that was out and that housing was the same with a large piece of the chrome light housing missing, and again the calorie-free was just hanging inside the headlight and not secured to the housing. Looking at this thread and other forums, this is a large problem with GMC Acadia's. I take not taken the car back to the dealership but certainly if this is happening like this it was a poor design past GM and should be repaired by the dealership at no cost. I promise enough people bring this up as a fire run a risk, to make it become a company recall.

My rider day fourth dimension running light burnt out 9 months ago and when I had information technology replaced they told me the connector was a picayune warm and to watch it. Information technology but burnt out once again on June 3rd, and I had it replaced June tenth. They told me the connector was hot and I should take information technology looked at in the service center to detect out why it was hot. It was burnt out June 11th, and I had a service appointment gear up for June 15th. They don't know what the problem is and it will price me hundreds of dollars just for them to look. If it is getting and so hot this could be a major consequence.
