      What exactly was your 2014 doing? We are have intermittent no starts also on our 2016. New battery and new starter. Still does it time to time. Is the stater relay located in the same spot as the 2012s? Thanks

    Now see. That is a helpful video. It may or may not help me, but it is helpful. Direct, informative, and hell, he even broke it down. Kindergarten style for those who are less, we will say mechanically inclined. So you hopefully can follow instructions even if you can't walk and chew gum at the same time. Thanks

    I’ve been having this issue with my 2017 Acadia, the car shuts off while driving and cranks after sitting a while. It also won’t crank if i turn the car off and then cranks after hours later. I was told it’s my starter, an electrical problem and the battery although I’ve just replaced it

    So was the symptom you turn the key, electrical switches on, but the starter doesn't come on. This happened once over the summer and just happened again two nights ago. If I waited like 5 min...then the car started. Thoughts??

    Its crazy. Mine will be completely dead and the key gets stuck. When i pop the battery cover and proceed to put a socket wrench to the negative battery as if to remove it..i get a small spark and all the lights turn on and power is restored. This starts the vehicle every time. Anyone know what coupd be the culprit?

    Just curious, do you know if the car would click when the owner tried to start it, or was it just silent? My mom is having trouble with her 2011 Acadia. She says it won't start, the key gets stuck, and she shuts the door, then the radio turns on, and it starts.
