Some GMC Acadia owners report experiencing issues with the driver's seat sliding back and folding forward after driving for 30 minutes, raising significant safety concerns. These unusual movements can compromise the driver's control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of accidents. GMC has acknowledged these issues by issuing letters to affected customers and offering to replace the driver's airbag unit at no extra cost, demonstrating their commitment to safety. Proper seat positioning is vital, and owners are advised to ensure the seat is securely locked in place according to manufacturer guidelines. Additionally, any unusual noises or movements from the seat should prompt an inspection by a qualified technician to address potential safety risks. Prompt resolution of these issues is essential for the safety of both the driver and passengers.
