What owners wrote
My 2010 GMC acadia slt rolls backward on inclines even though the transmission is in drive. I have driven automatic transmission vehicles for years and in my experience they are not supposed to roll backward in drive. If anyone is behind the vehicle when this occurs they could very well be crushed. The dealership stated this is normal behavior, but this is not and they should be required to fix the problem.
At 80,000 miles, after pulling out of parking, when I applied brakes the car started making rumbling noise from the engine and lurched forward despite pressing on brakes to stop. Pulled into a parking spot, while continuing to fight lurching of vehicle and turned car off to check engine oil, transmission oil, and power steering oil levels. All were fine. When attempted restart of vehicle, loud rumbling noise from engine, check engine light flickered and the car failed to start.
