Thanks so much! I just bought a used Acadia and freaked out when all the chimes started up with Stabilitrack and traction control. $20 at O'Reillys and about 10 minutes later, no chimes. Most appreciated!

Had issues with stabilitrack and traction control shutting off randomly. Said service both. Drove like shit when it did that and cruise control stopped workin. Break light would come on when not hitting breaks sometimes too. Saw this and pit one in, 25$ CAD from a dealership (only place I could get it right away). Fixed the problem after 10 minutes. Thanks for the vid! Worked like a charm on my 2016 acadia

You're on the right track, however it is not the switch itself, but a poor mechanical design by GMC of the "throw tolorence" or "actuation tolorence" or "position tolorence" of the switch when the pedal is released. [my terminology, pick one, all three work] The point is, that the switch needs another 1/8+ inch position movement (literally) to signal the brake is now off or now depressed. I figured it out when people were telling me I was riding my brakes. I lifted my pedal barely at all with my foot and my brake lights turned off. I removed the switch and added layers of tape to the inside of the "tuning fork arm" that now pushed the arm to the off position. It's tricky, but it worked.

FIXED! My 2014 gmc acadia slt was showing traction control off and service stabilitrak after just a few mins of driving after about 35mph if I accelerated more than 1/3 throttle the truck would cut power in quick intervals making the drivetrain shake hard. So after finding that my brake switch sensor was always triggering the lights to be on and it had to do with the slack that built up over the years in my brake peddle... changing the sensor wouldn't fixed the problem... so I added a small piece of plastic to the sensor to fix the problem. I've been driving it alot over the last few weeks with zero problems! Hope this helps someone.

I got my 2014 Acadia from my bro last summer in 2022. He had brought it to the dealer twice, and a family in-law once who knows his shit. The in-law would never screw him/us, didn't have an answer, however the dealership suggested a rebuilt transmission for who knows how much. WOW! Apparently the in-law has never heard of KZfaq, and the GMC dealership wishes it would go away forever.

Just bought this part hoping and praying it's my fix for my 14 Acadia because it runs fine until both service stabilitrak and service tc come on then it seems like it has trouble accelerating like if the transmission is going out but no check engine light comes on. Will update if it fixes my issue as well.

I also had the brake stalling going on, but for me it was simple sensor swap out. There is a small possibility the replacement sensor could be faulty. I’ve purchased off brand sensors for my focus that “fit” and didn’t work. Once I obtained another sensor all my problems went away. I’d try one more. I never had to reset the battery I just erased the code off after swapping the sensor and it never came back.

Here's why.... You're on the right track, however it is not the switch itself, but a poor mechanical design by GMC of the "throw tolorence" or "actuation tolorence" or "position tolorence" of the switch when the pedal is released. [my terminology, pick one, all three work] The point is, that the switch needs another 1/8+ inch position movement (literally) to signal the brake is now off or now depressed. I figured it out when people were telling me I was riding my brakes. I lifted my pedal barely at all with my foot and my brake lights turned off. I removed the switch and added layers of tape to the inside of the "tuning fork arm" that now pushed the arm to the off position. It's tricky, but it worked.
