2016 GMC ACADIA — Complaint #2080667
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about Other/I am not sure filed April 6, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2080667 (ODI reference 11653037) concerns a 2016 GMC ACADIA and was filed on April 6, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 3, 2025. The report was geocoded to Wisconsin based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as other/i am not sure, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same GMC ACADIA cohort independently describe similar other/i am not sure failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2016 GMC ACADIA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
This issues is regarding the front of the canopy. The base of the canopy clip, where it attaches to the car seat nearest the handle, has broken off pieces. These pieces have flow into the car seat where my child sits. It I had not noticed this happening, my child could have tried to put that piece in their mouth and choked or because for the sharp edges on the splintered piece, cause more serious damage. This breakage is on both end of the canopy clip. In addition, the piece that the clip is supposed to attach to has become warped from repeated use.
