Service Brakes · reported Oct 23, 2026
On October 23, 2026 at about 7:25 AM, while my wife was driving our leased 2025 GMC Acadia (20,773 miles) with our son in the car, the vehicle displayed 'Brake assist failure. Press hard to brake. Speed limited.' The ABS and traction control warning lights came on and the brake pedal became very hard to press due to loss of brake assist. No crash or injuries occurred. This failure matches the eBoost electronic brake control module issue under NHTSA Engineering Analysis EA26006 covering 2024-2026 GMC Acadia. My wife is afraid to drive the vehicle. The vehicle is currently at the dealer for…

I again was able to make it to a side street and stop, but was in a no parking zone. I was able to…

Engine cooling system malfunction, Ive had to receive maintenance on my Acadia 2025 elevation 3 times in the pass 2 months for the same issue, The coolant system. This is becoming a reoccurring issue that needs to be investigated thoroughly. Ive had to get a rental car all 3 times, and this is becoming frustrating and financially draining. My biggest concern is what is to happen once my warranty expires? guess I'll be paying a note and repair cost until a recall is opened on this issue and then will have to wait for reimbursement. This is horrible to say this car was made 2 years ago.…
