2013 model truck and all these sensors started going off while driving down the road. Drove it home and when I got in it to bring it to the shop it wouldn't start. Mechanic told me the sensors were shorted out.

Has anyone had this issue or heard of it being a common issue?

Fwiw the mechanic bill is $800

Yes on an 08 acadia it was brake sensor control bad. I had battery changed and one other thing fixed at dealership and it was only 500.00 so I think you are getting hosed on the price.

No but my wife's 09 Acadia's transmission just went out... I called GM, the car was out of warranty by a year, but was still under the mileage warranty.. They covered 55% of the cost... Wound up paying 1500 on it....

FWIW, here's a forum thread on a chevy truck forum that has your exact issue: LINK


Also, everyone should invest in one of these: Bluetooth Check Engine Code Reader. They're too cheap not to have one. You can at least go into the dealership armed with the diagnostic codes so they don't try to rip you off. If you're mechanically inclined at all, you can at least Google the codes it gives you and you can narrow it down a little on your own.

Its happened to me twice. I took it to the dealership and both times after two days, they said they couldn't find anything wrong with it.
