when accelerating onto the freeway, hit 55mph and the car just stopped going. it would not go into any gear, turned off car and it still wouldnt go into gear. AAA showed up said "oh, we see this in the acadia all the time" plugged something in under the dash, the check engine light went off and he said "there you go, now it'll work fine, just dont give it hard gas when getting up to speed" turns out the code was a tranny code that when he cleared it the tranny would then work. Its bad enough i have to deal with this leaking A/C unit, 3 cans a week, and that smell is terrible, i cant even get the car up to speed when entering the freeway traffic. please make gmc fix these issues, i know im not the only one with both issues. Thank you.

AIR BAGS
47 complaints
The air bag light is on, when a diagnostic is done a code of B0081-OF shows up, which is passenger presence module erratic.
Dec 16, 2024
I bought car from a used car dealer ship. And didn’t really notice it had an air bag light on the cluster . Because newer vehicles the our bags stay off for passenger side if know one is in the seat. So that’s what I thought it was til I had it put on a computer. And it say it’s a sensor for passenger side air bag
Mar 06, 2024
THE LIGHT OF THE AIR BAGS IN TURN ON , AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS BROKEN , I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.
Aug 23, 2019
WHILE DRIVING ON MAJOR INTERSTATE MY SIDE AIRBAGS SUDDENLY DEPLOYED AND SMOKE FILLED THE VEHICLE AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON DASH APPEARED THEN STOPPED WORKING, NO RADIO OR NOTHING. NO RECALLS OF SUCH ON THIS VEHICLE.
Oct 29, 2018
PREMATURE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT I WAS JUMPING THE ACADIA FROM OUR 2012 FORD FUSION DUE TO A NO START - NO CRANK ISSUE. THE ACADIA'S BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DISCHARGED, SO I PLACED JUMPER CABLES ONTO THE POSITIVE END FROM THE FUSE BOX AND THE GROUND TERMINAL. THE ACADIA'S HORN WORKED, INDICATING ELECTRICAL POWER, SO I TRIED TO CRANK IT BUT IT DID NOT CRANK. I TURNED THE IGNITION KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND SAT IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT FOR LESS THAN A MINUTE BEFORE THE DRIVER AIRBAG SUDDENLY DEPLOYED. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, THE ACADIA'S ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED BACK IN JULY OR AUGUST. THE CAR DROVE FINE FOR ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE THE CHARGING SYSTEM FAILED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THE CAR SAT IN THE YARD FOR ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE I TRIED TO JUMP IT OFF THE FIRST TIME. THE CAR DID START, BUT IT DIED ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER. THE CAR SAT IN THE YARD FOR WEEK BEFORE I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN. THIS IS WHEN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. ONE MORE THING: THE ACADIA LEAKED FROM THE SUNROOF, AND THE INSIDE OF THE CAR WAS WET. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRONICS. ATTACHED ARE PICTURES AFTER THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED.

WAVE PLATE BROKE AND TRANSMISSION BEING REBUILT. *TR
Apr 08, 2014
WHEN BEGINNING TO DRIVE OUR VEHICLE FROM CHURCH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT DOWNSHIFT, AND SPEED WOULD NOT GET ABOVE 30 MPH. WHEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING DAY, WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 50K AND SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE, AND IT IS A TRANSMISSION SAFETY ISSUE. HAD WE BEEN ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED, A MAJOR ACCIDENT COULD HAVE TAKEN PLACE. OTHER SITES HAVE LISTED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM OCCURRING IN VARIOUS ACADIA'S AS WELL. A RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN ISSUED AND GM SHOULD PAY FOR THE FULL REPAIR AS IT IS OVER $4,000. *TR

I'M HAVING CHRONIC TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS I'VE SPENT &2000. SO FAR ON THE TRANSMISSION. THE GMC DEALER HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY TELLING ME I'M HAVING MULTIPLE ISSUES REGARDING THE TOTAL WAVE PLATE OF THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH IS EFFECTING OTHER AREAS OF THE CARE. NOW I'M BEING TOLD THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS A LEMON-MAKE. THAT IT WAS BUILT FAULTY & GMC KNOWS IT. THEY HAVE HAD THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS AND REFUSE TO RECALL THIS TRANSMISSION. THIS IS TOTALLY UNFAIR. I STILL OWE 18,000 ON THIS TRUCK. I'M PAYING TWO MORTGAGES AND I'M WORRIED ABOUT HOW I WILL MAKE IT TO WORK THE NEXT DAY. THE MAKER OF THIS TRUCK SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FAULTS NOT THE CONSUMER. DO TO THIS ISSUE GM ISSUED AN EXCHANGE PROGRAM BUT THE DEALER SHIPS WON'T ENGAGE IN THIS. PLEASE ASSIST ME WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. AFTER AWHILE IT STARTED BACK UP BUT IT WOULD ONLY GO ON FIRST GEAR SO I COULD GO MORE THAN 20MPH. THEN WHEN I WENT HOME, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE REVERSE DID NOT WORK. I HAVE READ ALOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH 2007 ACADIAS. I HOPE THESE CARS GET RECALLED BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE MIGHT NOT BE AS LUCKY AS I WAS WERE THERE WEREN'T ANY CARS AROUND OR IN THE INTERSTATE. *TR

VEHICLE IS HARD SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. HAD SERVICED WITH NEW TRANSMISSION FLUID ON 7/2/13. ON 7/5/13 VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER SHIFT AT ALL WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY ON OUR WAY TO FAMILY VACATION TO HILTON HEAD SC. IT WAS TOWED TO PARKS CHEVROLET IN CHARLOTTE, NC WHERE TRANSMISSION WAS DISASSEMBLED WITH PARTS REPLACED AND REBUILT.

WE HAVE ALREADY PAID THE WARRANTY DEDUCTIBLE AND HOPE TO NOT INCUR MORE EXPENSES! *TR

DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP ON DRIVERS SIDE IS HEATING AND MELTING THE HOUSING CAUSING A RISK FOR A FIRE!
Dec 19, 2019
CORRODED FUSE BLOCK CAUSES THE SUV TO NOT START PERIODICALLY AND REQUIRES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE STARTING. I RESEARCHED AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH WINDSHIELD AND SUNROOF DRAINS. VERY EXPENSIVE FOR OWNER TO BARE COSTS TO REPAIR.

VEHICLE WAS AT IDLE FOR 10 MINUTES BEFORE PUTTING IT IN TO DRIVE ON THE EVENING OF 3/3/2018. BEGAN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE STABILITY/TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IMMEDIATELY CAME AND BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY ON ACCELERATION. ALL THE DASH LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER AND THEN ALL ELECTRICAL EVENTUALLY DIED WITHIN 30 SECONDS OF PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN TO DRIVE. ONCE THE CAR WAS SAFELY PULLED OVER, I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD THAT HAD THE SMELL OF PLASTIC OR BURNT WIRES. I POPPED THE HOOD AND THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE FUSE BOX AREA. THANKFULLY THE CAR DIDN'T CATCH ON FIRE. SOME HISTORY ON THIS VEHICLE; IT WAS BROUGHT IN TO OUR LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP AROUND SEPTEMBER 2016 WITH STABILITY TRAC CONTROL ISSUES WHICH WAS CAUSING THE CAR TO HESITATE ROUGHLY AT IDLE AND ACCELERATION. AFTER INVESTIGATING, THE DEALER FOUND THAT IT WAS A LOOSE WIRE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE FUSE BOX THAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM; WHICH THEY FIXED AND THE PROBLEM NEVER CAME BACK UNTIL THE EVENING OF OUR INCIDENT WHEN THE STC LIGHT CAME ON; FOLLOWED BY THE ELECTRICAL FAILURE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE VEHICLE... I'LL PUT MY MONEY ON THAT FUSE BOX AGAIN AS BEING THE CULPRIT. AAA (BATTERY SYSTEMS TECHNICIAN) CAME OUT THIS MORNING TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND WHEN HE TRIED TO RUN TESTS ON THE BATTERY BUT THE GMC WAS BACK FEEDING POWER IN TO HIS CABLES AND MELTED THEM AND THE CONNECTOR ON HIS TRUCK. HE SAID THAT HE THINKS THAT IT'S THE FUSE BOX (WITHOUT KNOWING HISTORY) BUT HAS NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS AND SUGGESTED THAT WE TAKE IT TO A SHOP. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THERE ARE ANY RECALLS RELATING TO THIS SO THIS WILL BE OUT OF POCKET TO KEEP MY FAMILY SAFE. CAR WILL BE HEADED TO THE SHOP SOON BUT DREADING THE THOUGHT OF THAT BILL I DON'T FEEL WE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY ON SEEING IS THAT THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE.
Mar 06, 2018
THE ACADIA HAD A RECALL ON THE SUNROOF FOR LEAKING LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. MY ACADIA HAD THIS PROBLEM AND WATER LEAKED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE DOWN THE FRAME ADJACENT TO THE DOOR AND WINDOW THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH INTO THE FLOOR AREA. THERE IS A FUSE BOX LOCATED IN THIS AREA AS WELL AS A VERY LARGE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR THAT CONNECTS TWO PORTIONS OF THE WIRING HARNESS. THE EXPOSURE OF THIS COMPONENT TO WATER HAS RESULTED IN CORROSION OCCURRING WITH THIS CONNECTOR. THIS IS A MAJOR CONNECTOR AFFECTING MULTIPLE SYSTEMS OF THE VEHICLE. THE SYSTEM GIVING ME THE LARGEST CAUSE FOR CONCERN IS THE DOOR LOCKS. ON A DAILY BASIS THE LOCKS WON'T RESPOND TO THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON ON ANY OF THE DOORS NOT WILL I RESPOND TO THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY REMOTE. THIS POSES A SIGNIFICANT EGRESS DANGER AS THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK ANY OF THE DOORS IS TO MANUALLY PUT UP THE LOCK. THIS IS FOR EVERY DOOR, ALL FOUR OF THEM. I HAVE AN INFANT IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE VEHICLE AND IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION IT WOULD REQUIRE ME TO LITERALLY CRAWL FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT TO THE REAR SEAT, MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR AND THEN ATTEMPT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THIS ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR AS THE FAULT DUE TO CORROSION FROM WATER HAS BEEN OCCURRING NOT JUST TO ME, IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING TO MANY OWNERS THAT SUFFERED FROM LEAKING ROOFS ON THEIR BRAND NEW VEHICLES. I FEEL THAT GMC NEEDS TO STEP UP AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE SAFETY HAZARD THEY CREATED AND SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. BY THE NHTSA IF THEY WILL NOT DO IT THEMSELVES.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED 4 TIMES FOR WATER LEAK THAT DEALER CAN NOT FIND. WATER THAT HAS LEAKED INSIDE HAS CAUSED A MALFUNCTION IN THE FUSE BLOCK. THIS CAUSED ALL LIGHTS, INCLUDING HEADLIGHTS TO FLICKER AND GAUGES TO READ WRONG INFORMATION. VERY DANGEROUS AND DISTRACTING WHEN DRIVING. COULD LEAD TO MORE SERIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IF WATER CONTINUES TO LEAK IN. *TR

TAMAKA RECALL, MY 2007 GMC ACADIA, LOST POWER DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I WAS DOING ABOUT 55 MPH AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE ABOVE 20 MPH.. THANKFULLY I WASN'T HURT BUT WAS SCARY BC OTHER PEOPLE WERE BEHIND ME AND MY CAR SLOWED DOWN SO FAST! AFTER FURTHER REVIEW THIS SEEMS TO BE A HUGE ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND TO ME SEEMS LIKE A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. I STILL HAVE TO HAVE MY CAR LOOKED AT BUT NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NO LONGER ON.

WE HAVE HAD WATER LEAKING IN THROUGH OUR THIRD ROW LIGHTS, AND THROUGH THE 3RD ROW SEAT BELTS, AND UNDER THE DASH WHEN IT RAINS. THE CAR IS USUALLY IN A TILT WHEN THIS HAPPENS (FRONT UP), AND IT GETS WORSE AS I DRIVE. I CAN USUALLY HEAR THE WATER SLOSHING AROUND. I TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THE DRAIN TUBES WERE CLOGGED, SO THEY UNCLOGGED THEM. I SPENT $350, AND 2 DAYS LATER, WHEN WE HAD A BIG RAIN, IT WAS LEAKING EVEN MORE THAN EVER. IT IS CURRENTLY BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY ARE WATER TESTING YET AGAIN (THIS MAKES THE 3RD TIME I HAVE TAKEN IT FOR THIS ISSUE). I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL THIS MORNING, AND THEY STATED IT WAS THE BACK MOONROOF THAT IS NOT PROPERLY SEALED, SO THEY ARE TAKING IT OUT, AND GOING TO RESEAL EVERYTHING. THIS IS COSTING ME ANOTHER $900.

BOTH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE MELTED THE BULB SOCKETS AND THE BULB HOUSING. THE SOCKETS HAVE MELTED SO BAD THAT YOU CANNOT REMOVE THE BULB AND THE HOUSING HAS MELTED SO BAD THAT THE HOUSING WILL NO LONGER HOLD THE BULB IN PLACE. THE PROBLEM IS EXACERBATED BY THE FACT THAT YOU CANNOT TURN THE LIGHTS EITHER ON OR OFF BECAUSE THE DIAL DEFAULTS TO AUTOMATIC WHICH WILL USE THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AUTOMATICALLY UNLESS YOU PHYSICALLY TURN THEM OFF EACH TIME YOU TURN THE CAR OFF. THIS SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES CAUSES A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD! THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY. THE PHOTO WITHOUT A BULB IS THE LEFT DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT HOUSING AND THE PHOTO OF THE BULB GOES IN THAT HOUSING. THE PHOTOS WITH THE BULB STILL IN THE HOUSING ARE OF THE RIGHT RUNNING LIGHT. THE HOUSING IS COMPLETELY MELTED AND A SUBSTANCE HAS MELTED OUT OF THE SOCKET AND INTO THE HOUSING. I FEAR THAT THESE CIRCUMSTANCES WITH CAUSE A FIRST AND JEOPARDIZE THE SAFETY OF ME, MY WIFE AND MY CHILDREN.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT / STABILITRAK WARNING LIGHT LEADING TO DISCOVERY THE ENGINE CYLINDER HEAD AND VALVES WERE DAMAGED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. TOTAL REPAIR TOOK 33 DAYS. APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS GM ENGINE. NUMEROUS INTERNET SITES STATE IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED CAMSHAFT COMPONENTS ARE THE POSSIBLE CAUSE. MY CAMSHAFTS WERE NOT REPLACED, BUT I DO SUSPECT THEY WERE PROBABLY THE CAUSE BASED ON PRESENT INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO ME. *TR

MY FIRST 2007 AWD ACADIA BROKE DOWN AFTER OWNING IT FOR 20 MINUTES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE. SPENT MORE TIME IN THE GARAGE. WHEN I GOT IT BACK A WEEK LATER IT STARTED TO SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT BUT IT ONLY DID IT WHEN I WAS STOPPED AND MADE RIGHT TURNS ON MAIN ROADS. THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING BUT IT WOULD RESTART AGAIN. GOT A REPLACEMENT CAR HAD TO PAY 2,000 MORE FOR IT AND THE REPLACEMENT ACADIA IS DOING THE SAME THING. ITS A DEATH TRAP WE COULD GET KILLED PULLING ON A HIGHWAY AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF AND WHEN THEY HOOK IT UP TO DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE IT SAYS NOTHING SHOWS UP. IT HAS BEEN IN FOR THE SOFTWARE UPGRADES AND A WEEK LATER ITS SHUTTING OFF AGAIN AND HAS ALOT OF HESITATION. I HAVE HAD IT WITH GMC I JUST WANT MY MONEY BACK THEY LOST MY TRUST I SHOULD OF STAYED WITH MY JEEP LIBERTY WHICH WAS A GREAT VEHICLE WITH NO PROBLEMS. *TR

JUST PURCHASED 2007 GMC ACADIA 2 WEEKS AGO AND DISCOVERED A MAJOR SUNROOF LEAK. THE LEAK IS VERY BAD. THEN I FOUND OUT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE.

TOOK 2007 GMC ACADIA IN BECAUSE AC BLOWER MOTOR WAS NOT WORKING. WHEN AC WAS TURNED ON IT WOULD MAKE A LOUD NOISE AND COULDN'T GET AIR TO FLOW. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE BLOWER MOTOR WENT OUT DUE TO WATER LEAKING IN THOUGH THE SIDE AND FRONT BODY PANELS. SINCE THE 36,000 BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY IS UP THIS LEAK IS NO LONGER COVERED. WE HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT BECAUSE THE MOTOR WENT OUT DUE TO A WATER LEAK THE BLOWER MOTOR IS NOT COVERED. SO WE HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR SOMETHING THAT IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE TO BEGIN WITH. I HAVE ALSO HAD WATER LEAK IN THROUGH THE INSIDE AIRBAG SQUARE, I HOPE THAT THIS INFLATES IF I NEED THEM. *TR

TWICE, IN A MATTER OF 24 HOURS, AS WE WERE PULLING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY, THE POWER STEERING STOPPED ABRUPTLY. FORTUNATELY WE WERE MOVING SLOWLY IN OUR DRIVEWAY AT THE TIME. FOLLOWING EACH INCIDENT THE CAR WAS PUT IN PARK AND THERE WAS A LOUD SCREECHING SOUND WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. JUST AS QUICKLY AS BOTH PROBLEMS OCCURRED, THEY DISAPPEARED. WE HAVE ALSO BEEN DEALING WITH WIRING ISSUES. SOMETIMES THE SPEAKERS WORK SOMETIMES THEY DON'T. SOMETIMES THE WARNING SYSTEMS (I.E BACK-UP ALARM, KEYS IN IGNITION, LOW FUEL LEVEL, DOOR AJAR, ETC.) SOUNDS AND OTHER TIMES THEY DON'T. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS TWO PROBLEMS. THE RADIO WORKS, BUT THERE IS NO SOUND FOR THE BACK UP WARNING, TURN SIGNALS OR RADIO. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS IN THE GMC ACADIA, CHEVROLET TRAVERSE AND THE BUICK ENCLAVE. THE PROBLEM IS LIKELY THE PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE BCM OR THE AMP. WHEN DRIVEN IN THE RAIN, THE POWER STEERING FAILS MOMENTARILY AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. *TR

Jul 20, 2017
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER SHE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, THERE WAS A SUDDEN INCREASE OF ENGINE RPMS AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO GAIN SPEED. ALSO, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT BURNING FUMES WERE EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, SHE NOTICED THAT WIRES WERE BURNING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 48,060.

WE PURCHASED THIS ACADIA USED IN APRIL 2010 WITH ABOUT 40,000 MILES. IN EARLY JULY 2012 THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. THIS HAS BEEN REPAIRED UNDER OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY AS OF JULY 15, 2012. ON AUGUST 1, 2013, OUR TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AGAIN. DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE, WE HAVE HAD THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS OPERATING ERRATICALLY AND THE RADIO WILL NOT ALWAYS SHUT OFF WHEN THE ENGINE HAS BEEN STOPPED AND DRIVER'S DOOR OPENED & CLOSED (POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS). WE'VE ASKED OUR GMC DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THE ELECTRIC, BUT EACH TIME THEY SAY NOTHING SHOWS ANY ERRORS ON THEIR COMPUTER TESTS. WITH THE RECENT ISSUE IN A LITTLE OVER A YEAR ON THE TRANSMISSION (AGAIN!) WE HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS SITES FROM OTHER 2007 ACADIA OWNERS STATING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND THAT IT IS REPETITIVE. IF THIS HAS BEEN A WIDESPREAD AND KNOWN PROBLEM, THIS WAS NOT SHARED BY OUR DEALERSHIP. GIVEN OUR VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 100K MILES AND WILL LIKELY HAVE A 3RD TRANSMISSION IN ITS 6 YEAR AGE, THIS IS NOT A VEHICLE I FEEL SAFE HAVING MY WIFE AND 3 YOUNG CHILDREN CONTINUE TO RIDE IN. UNFORTUNATELY, OUR OPTIONS ARE VERY LIMITED FINANCIALLY TO FIND A VEHICLE ALLOWING FOR THE AMOUNT OF SPACE NEEDED FOR 2 CAR SEATS IN ADDITION TO OUR 9 YEAR OLD BOOSTER SEAT (NORMALLY CANNOT SEAT THEM IN ONE ROW SIDE BY SIDE BY SIDE). AT THIS POINT, WE ARE RESEARCHING ALL OPTIONS TO GET OUT OF THIS ACADIA AS WE CANNOT SINK MONEY INTO THIS VEHICLE TO KEEP IT RUNNING SAFELY AND NOT KNOW IF THE TRANSMISSION WILL CONTINUE TO GO OUT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE ABOVE (20MPH?). I WAS FORCED TO PARK IT AT AN APARTMENT COMPLEX AND GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. NOW LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AFTER PAYING OUT OF POCKET FOR THAT REPAIR, I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT THE GMC ACADIA AND GOING OUT FOR A TEST DRIVE, WE MENTIONED TO THE SALES REP THAT THE ACCELERATION WAS VERY SLUGGISH. HE RESPONDED THAT IT TAKES MILEAGE TO WARM THE VEHICLE UP. WE HAVE 15,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND IT STILL IS SLUGGISH. WE HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. DRIVING IN THE RAIN AND/OR SNOW IS VERY HAZARDOUS, AND GOING UP HILLS, SINCE IT LACKS ACCELERATION, IT CAUSES THE TIRES TO SPIN OUT. WE HAVE GOTTEN STUCK GOING UP A HILL IN RAINY AND/OR SNOWY CONDITIONS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL. *TR

GMC PLEASE TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE SUNROOF LEAK ISSUE! YEARS OF DATA, ALMOST 100 COMPLAINTS, SOMEONE SHOULD ALREADY KNOW ABOUT THIS AND HAVE A SOLUTION! MY CAR HAS SERIOUS LEAKING ISSUES FROM THE SUNROOF ABOVE THE DRIVER, ELECTRICAL TO CABIN DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK EXCEPT DASH LIGHTS, AND HEADLIGHTS/TURN SIGNALS WORK SPORADICALLY. THE LOCKS WORK WHEN THEY'RE IN THE MOOD. ALSO MEANS AC/HEAT WORKS SOMETIMES..I LIVE UP NORTH AND IT'S 24 TODAY. MY WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID REMAINS EMPTY BECAUSE IT RANDOMLY TURNS ON AND DRAINS OUT: WHICH ALSO MEANS REPLACING MY WIPERS IS A BAD IDEA BECAUSE THEY RANDOMLY TURN ON FOR AT MOST AN HOUR AND DRY WIPING THE WINDOW...AND DESTROYING THE WIPER BLADES. ALL WHEEL DRIVE WON'T WORK, DESPITE MECHANIC SEEING NO ISSUES. I'VE TAKEN DOWN THE MOUNTS AND TRIED TO FLUSH THE DRAINING TUBES MYSELF..AND THEY'RE CLEAR WITH NO LEAKS WHEN I TESTED THE TUBES. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I WISH I COULD AFFORD TO FIX THIS, BECAUSE WE NEED THIS VEHICLE; EVERYDAY I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT! WE WON'T DRIVE AT NIGHT FOR THE RISK OF THE HEADLIGHTS SHUTTING OFF, AND ALWAYS FINGERS CROSSED MY TURN SIGNALS WILL FUNCTION TODAY. I HAVE KIDS! MY FAMILIES NOT RICH, WE CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE OR THE COSTLY REPAIR, BEING THAT I'M A SINGLE MOM BARELY BUYING BREAD AND PAYING RENT AS IT IS SINCE MY HOURS GOT CUT FROM COVID. I ONLY WANTED A SAFE VEHICLE, I DIDN'T REALIZE I HAD TO BE SPECIFIC AND ASK FOR ONE WITH HEADLIGHTS AND ELECTRONICS WORKING APPROPRIATELY, TOO. I'LL BE SURE TO NEXT TIME I BUY A CAR...WHENEVER THAT LUCKY DAY OCCURS. PLEASE PRAY FOR US.

THE CAR HAS HAD ELECTRICAL AND ENGINE PROBLEMS SINCE WE PURCHASED IT DUE TO WATER LEAKS FROM A FLAWED SUNROOF DESIGN. EVEN AFTER A RECALL TO FIX THE SUNROOF TO PREVENT WATER LEAKS; IT CONTINUES TO LEAK AND DAMAGE ELECTRICAL AND ENGINE SYSTEMS. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND IS A WIDESPREAD CONCERN FOR THE 2007-2008 GMC ACADIAS. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE LEAKS OCCUR IN THE AREA WHERE THERE ARE AIRBAGS. I THINK THERE IS A STRUCTURAL DEFECT THAT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BE REPAIRED AND IT PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ALL WHO DRIVE THESE VEHICLES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM. DO NOT LET GMC SWEEP THIS UNDER THE RUG! *TR

WE GOT THIS 2007 GMC ACADIA AT 100,230 MILES ON AUGUST 2014. NOW IT HAS AROUND 133,800 MILES. AT 115,000 MILES IT STATED TO HAVE ISSUES WHERE IT SAID STABILITY TRACK. THE TRACTION CONTROL TURNS OFF BY ITSELF AND NOT SURE IF THE STABILITY AND THIS ARE THE SAME THING. SOME ELECTRIC PARTS HAVE ALREADY FAILED. THE CHARGING OUTLET AND ELECTRIC WINDOWS DON'T WORK RIGHT. THE PASSENGER SIDE CAN NOT BE PUT DOWN BY DRIVER SIDE. THE REAR RIGHT SIDE CAN ONLY BE PUT DOWN OF UP BY THE DRIVER. THE LEFT REAR DOES NOT WORK WHEN THE DRIVER PUTS IT DOWN OR UP. THE POWER IN THE LIFT GATE IN THE BACK HAS GONE OUT. IT ONLY OPENS OR CLOSES MANUALLY. THERE WAS ALSO A RECALL WITH THE LIFT GATE AND WE GOT IT FIXED. AFTER IT WAS FIXED THEN A WHILE LATER IT WOULD CLOSE ON US AND IT ALMOST HIT US BUT WE REACTED FAST. IT ONLY CLOSED ON US ABOUT THREE TIMES THEN IT STOPPED WORKING. IT WAS RECALL 15240.THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT THE STEERING WHEEL GETS HARD TO TURN WHEN MAKING A TURN OR U TURN. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AS I AM DRIVING. ONE TIME IS ALMOST MADE ME CRASH INTO A CAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO MECHANICS AND IT HAS ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION CODES. FOR JUST THE TRANSMISSION CODES IT WILL COST ME UP TO $4,000. ACCORDING TO THE CARFAX RECORDS IT HAS HAD INTERNAL TRANSMISSION REPAIRS AT 53,543 MILES. I FEEL LIKE THIS CAR POST A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE STEERING WHEEL PROBLEM. WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 3YEARS AND WE HAVE EXPERIENCED MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. GM SHOULD PAY FOR THIS FAULTY PARTS.

I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE, GOING DOWN HILL ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD. MID-WAY DOWN A MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE COMPUTER SAYING "ENGINE FAILURE, POWER OFF" AND THE CAR JUST SHUT DOWN WITH OUT WARNING. NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED ON THE GAS THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF. THE STEERING WENT OUT AS WELL AND I HAD TO STAND IN THE SEAT TO USE ALL MY POWER TO TURN THE WHEEL. PREVIOUS TO THIS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD NOT BEEN ON, NO ADVANCE WARNING OF THIS. I HAD BOTH OF MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR AT THE TIME. LUCKILY THERE WAS A BP GAS STATION WITH GARAGE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL, I WAS ABLE TO COAST THE CAR INTO THE GAS STATION WHERE THEY RAN DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRED MY CAR AND RESET THE SENSORS. NINE MONTHS LATER I WAS DRIVING WITH BOTH OF MY CHILDREN AGAIN, IN NORTH EAST WASHINGTON DC WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE THE SAME MESSAGE APPEARED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE ENGINE ONE TIME. I TURNED AROUND TO GO HOME AND ON THE DRIVE HOME THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON A LESS OF AN INCLINE OF A HILL. THE CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY TOWARDS THE TOP OF THE HILL GOING DOWN. SAME AS BEFORE, NO GAS AND NO STEERING ABILITY. I WAS TOO SCARED TO LEAVE THE CAR ON THE SIDE AS CARS COMING OVER THE HILL WOULD NOT HAVE TIME TO STOP BEFORE HITTING US. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TRIED TO GLIDE DOWN THE HILL TO THE SHELL STATION. THE CAR CUT OUT COMPLETELY AND LOST ALL MOMENTUM SO I HAD TO PUSH THE CAR INTO THE GAS STATION AND WAIT 3 HOURS FOR THE TOW TRUCK TO ARRIVE. IT WENT BACK TO THE BP STATION FROM FEBRUARY AND HAD A NEW BATTERY AND SEVERAL OTHER ITEMS REPLACED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN 2007 AND HAVE HAD COUNTLESS BREAKDOWNS AND REPLACEMENTS- TWO TRANSMISSIONS WITHIN THE FIRST 3 YEARS AND REPAIRS. I KEEP UP WITH CAR MAINTENANCE REGULARLY AND DO NO NEGLECT ANYTHING. *TR

THE FIRST ISSUE WAS THE WATER PUMP, REPLACED IT AND 2 MONTHS LATER OUT WENT THE POWER STEERING PUMP. AT THAT TIME OF REPLACING THE POWER STEERING PUMP THE DEALERSHIP ALSO REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION AND TIMING CHAIN. NOW, IT'S THE TRANSMISSION. GOING ROUNDS WITH GM TO GET THEM TO TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE IN ITS ENTIRETY. THIS VEHICLE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 63K MILES ON IT! THIS VEHICLE IS DEFECTIVE IN EVERY WHICH WAY. I'M WORRIED ABOUT WHAT WILL GO OUT NEXT. I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING RELIABLE AND SAFE AND THIS ACADIA HAS BEEN EVERYTHING BUT THAT. I HAVE SEVERAL FRIENDS THAT ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. LET THE GAME BEGIN. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE THAT I FEEL IS SO UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE. I AM A HARD WORKING WOMAN WHO DROVE THE SAME CAR FOR 13 YEARS AND HAD NONE OF THE ISSUES THAT I AM HAVING WITH THIS ACADIA THAT I PAID TWICE AS MUCH FOR! SO, TO ANYONE WANTING TO PURCHASE AN ACADIA, DO RECONSIDER, EVEN AS DEPENDABLE AS YOU FEEL YOUR DEALERSHIP MAY BE...IT WILL BE A LEMON IN THE LONG RUN. BE PREPARED TO GET YOUR GLOVES ON IN THE RING WITH GMC AS I'M CURRENTLY DOING...AS I'M DRIVING A DEALERSHIP LOANER, FOR 2 DAYS NOW...GOOD LUCK! *TR

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 GMC ACADIA IN NOV. OF 2007. SINCE NEW IT HAS HAD A STEERING ISSUE THAT CAN NOT BE FIXED. THE RACK AND PINION HAS BEEN REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE HAS BURNED UP NUMEROUS POWERSTEERING PUMPS. THE STEERING, WHILE IN A CURVE, WILL LOCK UP AND THEN RELEASE THROWING THE VEHICLE IN THE DIRECTION THE WHEEL IS TURNED. IT HAS THROWN THE VEHICLE INTO THE OTHER LANE OF ON COMING TRAFFIC AS WELL AS THROWING THE VEHICLE OF THE ROAD INTO A FENCE. EACH TIME THE DEALERSHIP HAS PICKED THE VEHICLE UP REPLACED THE STEERING PUMPS BUT THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 47,000 MILES ON IT. THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP AND THE SHIFTING COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED, THEN THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP AND WAS REPLACED. THE STEERING ISSUE IS ARE MAIN CONCERN. IT WAS TAKEN IN ON 9/28/10 AND RECEIVED NEW TRANSMISSION AND POWERSTEERING PUMP. WE RECEIVED THE VEHICLE ON 10/25/2010. ON, 10/28/10 THE VEHICLE STEERING LOCKED UP AGAIN THROWING MY WIFE OFF THE ROAD INTO A FENCE. THERE IS NO WAY THAT GM HAS PUT THREE BAD POWER STEERING PUMPS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT IS BINDING THE STEERING CAUSING THE PUMPS TO BURN UP. THE SAME PROBLEM HAS MADE THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE DANGER OF IT LOCKING UP AND THROWING THE VEHICLE INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE ALL SERVICE RECORDS REPORTING THIS ISSUE. I WILL NOT ALLOW MY BACK IN THIS VEHICLE AND I AM NOT COMFORTABLE TRADING IT IN FOR ANOTHER FAMILY TO BE KILLED IN IT. I COULD NOT LIVE WITH THAT. GM WILL DOING NOTHING ABOUT AS THEY HAVE BEEN CONTACTED. PLEASE HELP ME GET A REPLACEMENT FOR THIS VEHICLE (SAME YEAR MODEL TYPE AND EQUALLY EQUIPPED) AND GET THIS VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD.

UPON ENTERING THE HIGHWAY THE 2007 ACADIA WOULD NOT SHIFT EITHER INTO OR OUT OF 3RD GEAR, I'M NOT SURE.

I'VE RECIEVED A LETTER FROM GM STATING THAT VEHICLES EQUIPED WITH 6T70 AND 6T75 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS ARE EXPERIENCING CRACKED OR FRACTURED WAVE PLATES.

The contact owns a 2007 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost motive power with the battery saver mode activated. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic on two occasions, where the vehicle was diagnosed, and it was determined that the alternator and battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired on both occasions; however, the failure persisted. Additionally, the service air bag and transmission warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that there was smoke coming from the battery. The vehicle had not yet been taken back to the mechanic or a local dealer for further diagnostic test or repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the warranty had expired. The approximate failure mileage was 63,000.

BOUGHT WITH 58K MILES ON IT, 9/2012. PROBLEMS BEGAN THE FOLLOWING APRIL. SITTING AT RED LIGHTS, THE TRUCK WOULD STALL OUT AT ACCELERATION, OCCASIONALLY NOT RESTARTING IMMEDIATELY. DEALERS COULDN'T REPLICATE PROBLEM. PROBLEM BRIEFLY STOPPED, AND NOW IT HAS RETURNED AND IS FAR WORSE. WHILE DRIVING, IT SHAKES AND JERKS LIKE A NEW DRIVER LEARNING TO USE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. SEVERAL TIMES THE TRUCK HAS SHUT OFF COMPLETELY ON HIGHWAYS WHILE CRUISING AT OR AROUND 70MPH OR ACCELERATING TO PASS SOMEONE, NEARLY CAUSING ACCIDENTS. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN TOWED HOME 3 TIMES THIS MONTH FROM THIS ISSUE, I REFUSED TO TAKE IT TO A GMC DEALER BECAUSE I CAN'T KEEP PAYING $109 FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THEY SAY THEY DON'T FIND ANYTHING (TWICE ALREADY). I RECENTLY HAD THE VEHICLE SCANNED INDEPENDENTLY AND IT'S GIVEN ME CODES 7EA AND 7E8. THE SECOND CODE DOESN'T GIVE A DIAGNOSIS. IN THE LAST WEEK IT HAS FAILED TO START 4 TIMES AND I'VE BEEN KEEPING VIDEO BLOGS TO RECORD WHAT IT IS OR ISN'T DOING. IT IS CURRENTLY SITTING IN MY DRIVE WAY, NOT OPERABLE. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS THERE ISN'T ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT A RECALL, BUT EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. TWICE IT STRANDED MY WIFE AND CHILDREN ON INTERSTATES. ON 10/30/13 (ON OUR ANNIVERSARY, OUT OF TOWN NONE THE LESS) IT SHUT OFF AND WE HAD TO GET PUSHED TO THE SHOULDER...VERY EMBARRASSING! SOMETHING MUST BE DONE! EVERYBODY CAN'T BE TELLING THE SAME LIE! ALSO, THE "SERVICE AIRBAGS" NOTICE JUST STARTED SHOWING. *TR

The contact owns a 2007 GMC Acadia. The contact stated while driving 45 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact stated that the failure recurred mostly while driving and exceeding 45 mph. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the alternator needed to be replaced. The failure recurred and the alternator was replaced two more times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the instrument cluster and battery was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

OVERDRIVE FUNCTION FAULTY IN TRANSMISSION. DURING COLD WEATHER STABILITY TRAC KICKS IN AND WILL NOT REGAIN POWER EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO BAD ROAD CONDITIONS (SUCH AS SNOW, ICE, OR RAIN) IT SEEMS TO ACTIVATE WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD. IT BARLEY MOVES INHIBITING NORMAL TRAFFIC FLOW WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. FIXED MOON ROOF LEAKS CAUSING THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS TO MALFUNCTION AND RAIN WATER DRIPS ON PASSENGERS AND THOROUGHLY SOAKS THE CARPETS LEAVING A MILDEW SMELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED NUMEROUS TIMES. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY WHEN SHIFTING AND VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. WITHIN A WEEK OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (SHORELINE AUTO GROUP INC, 2275 N STATE RD, IONIA, MI 48846, (616) 523-6882). THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR OVER A MONTH DUE TO NO SOUND FOR THE TURN SIGNALS, VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, AND THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO PICK UP SPEED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE FOR OVER A MONTH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES MONTHS LATER TO DETERMINE IF THEY MAY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000.

AFTER SPENDING $370.51 AT MY LOCAL GMC DEALER FOR STABILITRAK ERRORS RESULTING IN LOW FUEL INPUT INTO THE ENGINE, WITH A MAXIMUM SPEED ALLOWABLE AT 35 MPH, MY 2007 GMC ACADIA IS ONCE AGAIN EXPERIENCING STABILITRAK ERRORS. THEY GENERALLY OCCUR WHEN I ROLL TO A STOP AT A STOPSIGN OR STOPLIGHT, BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL REDUCE SPEED WHEN I TRAVEL THE INTERSTATE. MY LOCAL GMC DEALER CLAIMED THIS PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY A "CAM EXHAUST POSITION SENSOR FAULT" AND REPLACED THE "CAM EXHAUST POSITION SENSOR" ON 3-20-13 FOR $370.51. FOR ONE WEEK THIS REPAIR WORKED AND THERE WERE NO STABILITRAK ERRORS. TEN DAYS LATER, MY 2007 GMC ACADIA FWD IS WORSE THAN EVER, ENDANGERING ME AT NIGHT BY SHIFTING SUDDENLY INTO "STABILITRAK ERROR, LOW FUEL INPUT" MODE. I AM TERRIFIED THAT MY GMC DEALER WILL CHARGE ME MORE MONEY TO PRETEND-FIX THIS PROBLEM, AS THEY HAVE ME COMING IN FOR $400-$1,100 REPAIRS EVERY OTHER MONTH NOW SINCE THEY WANT TO SELL ME A NEW CAR. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILURE. 2007 WAS THE FIRST YEAR OF THE GMC ACADIA. AT 94,000 MILES I DON'T THINK THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD FAIL. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR IT CAME WITH A 5 YEAR 100,000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR 7 YEARS. I KNOW GMC HAS MADE IMPROVEMENTS TO LATER MODELS. I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE INJUSTICE. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED $4500.00 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION BY THE DEALER. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A REPUTABLE AAMCO SHOP THAT THE ONLY PLACE THIS CAN BE FIXED IS AT THE DEALER BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE CODES TO MAKE THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE WORK TOGETHER. *TR

THE SUNROOF LEAKS AND CAUSES ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING GEARS, RACK, AND BUSHINGS ARE DEFECTIVE CAUSING THE POWER STEERING TO GO OUT DURING LOW SPEEDS. TRIED HAVING IT REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL, HOWEVER, 9 MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND NOBODY WANTS TO FIX IT OR ALLOWS FOR THE DEALER TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY FEATURE THAT SHOULD NEVER BE ACCEPTABLE! ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION ALREADY HAD TO BE REPLACED AND IS GOING OUT AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURE MADE A FAULTY VEHICLE AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE PARTS AND THE LABOR NOT TO MENTION THE INCONVENIENCE OF HAVING TO FIGHT WITH THE DEALER AND GM TO GET THE PROBLEM CORRECTED.

STEPPED ON THE GAS AND THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO 1 TO 2 MILES AN HOUR THEN SPEED UP ... DEALER SAID THAT THERE WERE "MANY PARTS IN THE PAN" AND THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. $3600 PLUS TAX OR HAVE IT REBUILT $3300 PLUS TAX. CALLED GM AFTER READING THE VARIOUS POST ON EDMUNDS ABOUT THE ACADIA PROBLEMS. THEY WERE VERY NICE AND OPENED A CLAIM BUT AS OF YET, NO ONE EVER CALLED ME BACK. WHEN THEY OPENED THE CLAIM THEY SAID SOMEONE WOULD BE IN TOUCH WITHIN 2 BUSINESS DAYS (AND THEY WOULD SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO ON SAVING ME SOME MONEY ON THE BILL) AS I WAS DUE BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP TO PICK UP MY CAR. *TR

ON 1/25/13 OUR 2007 GMC ACADIA WAS TOWED TO THE SHOW FOR WHAT WAS DESCRIBED AS A TIMING CHAIN PREMATURE WARE AND WAS COVERED UNDER A RECALL. THE MILEAGE ON THAT DATE WAS 52,788. IT IS OUR UNDERSTANDING THAT THE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REMOVED. ON MAY 18TH 2013 I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR MADE A LOUD NOISE AND DECELERATED DOWN TO 25 MPH WITH A HIGH RPM. AT THAT POINT I PULLED OVER. I NOTICED THE CAR HAD NO REVERSE. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE LOCAL GM DEALER. TODAY THEY CALLED AND SAID THE TRANSMISSION IS SHOT. CURRENT MILEAGE 55,308. WAITING TO HEAR BACK ON EXACT ISSUE. AFTER READING ONLINE THIS IS A KNOW DESIGN FLAW AND HAS BEEN SINCE CORRECTED. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR GM'S DESIGN FLAWS. ALSO THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOUR VEHICLE SLOWS TO A MAXIMUM OF 25MPH ON A MAIN ROAD OR HIGHWAY. *TR

ONE NICE DAY DRIVING IN TOWN, I MUST HAVE RUN OVER A NAIL OR SOME OTHER SHARP ITEM. WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, I HEARD A HISSING NOISE. I PULLED INTO A FLAT PARKING LOT TO INVESTIGATE - SUSPECTING I HAD A LEAKING FRONT PASSENGER TIRE BY THE WAY THE GMC ACADIA WAS DRIVING. I REMOVED THE JACK AND SPARE FROM THE BACK OF THE TRUCK AND ALSO THE MANUAL FROM THE GLOVE BOX. FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS NOT ONLY PRINTED ON THE JACK, IN THE MANUAL, BUT ALSO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE - I PLACED THE JACK, MADE SURE IT WAS STEADY, AND PROCEEDED TO JACK THE TRUCK UP. THE JACK COLLAPSED UNDER THE WEIGHT OF THE TRUCK. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS SET. I TOOK EVERY SAFETY PRECAUTION ESPECIALLY BECAUSE MY SONS WERE WITH ME AND THEY ARE TEENAGERS (NEW DRIVERS) SO I WAS TRYING TO EMPHASIZE THE SAFETY ISSUES - LUCKY FOR ME !!!! THEY ARE THE ONES THAT YELLED THAT THE TRUCK WAS COMING DOWN. THE DESIGN OF THE JACK REQUIRES AT LEAST YOUR ARMS TO BE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE TO JACK IT UP WHICH IS VERY UNSAFE. FORTUNATELY FOR ME, I DON'T EVER WORK UNDERNEATH A VEHICLE UNLESS THERE IS SOMEONE ELSE CAPABLE STANDING BY. THE ENTIRE JACK WAS BENT SIDEWAYS - UNUSABLE. MY OPINION IS THAT THE JACK POINTS ON THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK ARE CORRECT; HOWEVER, THE MATERIAL THAT THE JACKS ARE MADE FROM IS SUBPAR. ALTHOUGH THE DEALER REPLACED THE JACK FREE OF CHARGE -- I WON'T USE IT. I COULD HAVE LOST MY RIGHT ARM THE LAST TIME UNDER IDEAL CIRCUMSTANCES. I WON'T EVEN TAKE A CHANCE THAT IT'S THE SAME JACK MATERIAL NEXT TIME. WHAT IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN ON THE OPEN ROAD IN THE RAIN WHERE YOU HAD AN UNEVEN SHOULDER? *TR

FOR QUITE SOME TIME, THE FRONT RIGHT AIR BAG SENSOR DOES NOT SENSE THAT THERE IS A PASSENGER SITTING IN THE FRONT RIGHT SEAT. WE HAVE HAD THE SENSOR CHECKED REPEATEDLY AT THE DEALER, AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM (SAYING EVERYTHING IS FINE). THE PASSENGERS TYPICALLY ARE OUR CHILDREN, BOTH OF WHOM ARE 5'9" TALL AND WEIGH 120 TO 125 POUNDS. WE USUALLY HAVE TO STOP THE CAR, TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN ON, AND THEN IT WORKS. THIS PAST WEEK, THE SENSOR WAS FLASHING, AND WE GOT A RELATED "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. WE TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS A $1,000 REPAIR TO REPLACE THE FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER SENSOR MODULE. THIS AFTER WE HAVE HAD THIS ITEM CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES (AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING WRONG WITH IT), AND, AFTER A FULL EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE CAR (WHICH INCLUDED AIR BAGS) HAS EXPIRED. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR 2007 GMC ACADIAS FOR IMPROPER SENSORS, BUT OUR CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IN 'GOOGLING' THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET, WE SEE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON OFFICIAL CAR SITES LIKE EDMUNDS, STATING A SIMILAR PROBLEM FOR OTHER ACADIAS. WE BELIEVE THAT GMC HAS KNOWN THAT IT HAS HAD FAULTY SENSORS ON THEIR 2007 GMC ACADIA MODELS, BUT DID NOT MAKE THEIR 2007 RECALL COMPREHENSIVE ENOUGH. WE WOULD LIKE FOR THE NHTSB TO INVESTIGATE WITH GMC HOW MANY OTHER 2007 GMC ACADIAS HAVE BEEN SERVICED FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS. OUR CAR HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY VEHICLE CRASH OR ACCIDENT. *TR

2007 GMC ACADIA, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRACK KEEPS POPPING UP. IT LOSES THE POWER STEERING OFF AND ON IF YOU DRIVE IT IN THE RAIN AT ANY SPEED. WINDOWS CAN NOT BE CONTROLLED BY DRIVERS MASTER BUTTONS. VEHICLE HAS 173000 MILES ON IT. PURCHASED USED FROM BUCKEYE NISSAN. NOTICED ISSUES RIGHT AWAY BUT THEIR MECHANIC SAID THERE IS NOTHING COMING UP WHEN THEY HOOK UP THE DIAGNOSTICS. NO WARRANTY WHEN PURCHASED USED, THIS IS MY FIRST VEHICLE PURCHASE. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR A YEAR THEN GOT THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRACK READING AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO OVER 5 MPH. STILL PAYING PAYMENTS ON THE VEHICLE, I COULD NOT AFFORD TO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC SO I PURCHASED A CHEAP CAR FROM A FRIEND AND THE ACADIA SAT IN MY DRIVE WAY FOR 2 YEARS. AFTER I PAID IT OFF I STARTED TO LOOK INTO REPAIRING IT. I PUT A NEW BATTERY IN IT AFTER IT SAT FOR SO LONG AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND DROVE LIKE THERE WAS NEVER AN ISSUE. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER. STILL GET ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL TURNS OFF AND SERVICE STABILITRACK READING BUT HAS NOT HAD IT SLOW DOWN TO 5 MPH AGAIN. NOW IF I DRIVE IN THE RAIN THE POWER STEERING CUTS IN AND OUT AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL REVIEWS ON THIS VEHICLE THAT SAY THE SAME AS MINE. THE WORST PART IS THAT GM IS AWARE OF THESE ISSUES BUT WILL NOT ASSIST IN REPAIR IF THE VEHICLE HAS OVER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MILES ON IT.

WHEN IT RAINS EITHER HEAVILY OR FOR LONG PERIODS IN CHICAGO MY GMC TENDS TO FLOOD IN THE PASSENGER FLOOR AND BY THE TV AND 3RD ROW LIGHTS. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN 2013. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 6 YEARS AND I HAVE TAKEN IN TO A DEALERSHIP ONCE AND THEY QUOTED ME CLOSE TO $500 TO DO A TEST AND LET WATER RAIN ON THE CAR AND SEE IF IT IS A MANUFACTURE OR OWNER FAULTY ISSUE. I DID NOT JUMP ON TOP OF MY CAR AND CREATE A PROBLEM SO THAT MY CAR GETS FLOODED OR TO CAUSE THIS THAT I HAVE TO ALWAYS PLACE A TOWEL AND LEAVE MY WINDOWS OPEN AFTER SO THAT IT DOES NOT FOG THE ENTIRE CAR. I HAVE 4 CHILDREN AND DROPLETS HAVE FALLEN ON MY 7 MONTH OLD BABY WHILE I'M DRIVING. NO ONE CAN SIT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE HAD MY CAR DETAILED IN THE PAST SO THE MOLDING SMELL DOESN'T CAUSE MY KIDS TO WANT TO THROW UP. AIRBAGS SAY SERVICE AIRBAGS WHEN THEY HASN'T OPENED AND HASN'T GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT IN THAT CAR. IT FRIGHTEN ME THAT I'M DRIVING A UNSAFE CAR WITH 4 CHILDREN.

OUR VEHICLE ONLY HAS 86K MILES AND THE RACK AND PINION IS LEAKING HEAVILY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, BUT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. SOMETIMES, THE POWER STEERING CUTS OUT AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS IMPOSES SERIOUS RISK WHILE DRIVING AND THE PROBLEM CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. THERE IS NO REPEATABLE SCENARIO TO DEMONSTRATE THE FAILURE. IT IS RANDOM. THE FRONT ENGINE COVER ALSO LEAKS OIL HEAVILY. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. THIS COULD RESULT IN RAPID ENGINE OIL LOSS AND ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER YESTERDAY FOR INSPECTION. UNFORTUNATELY NO PICTURES WERE TAKEN, BUT THEIR TWO TECHNICIANS INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND AGREED ON THE KNOWN ISSUES. THE SERVICE ADVISOR ALSO AGREED ON THE KNOWN ISSUES. I INQUIRED ABOUT GM HELPING WITH THESE KNOWN ISSUES, BUT THE DEALER STATED THAT THEIR DISTRICT AFTERSALES MANAGER WAS NOT KIND OR HELPFUL AND WOULD REVERT TO GENERAL MOTOR'S ONLINE GOODWILL CALCULATOR. HE ACCESSED THE ONLINE SYSTEM WHICH DETERMINED MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND/OR COVERAGE AND THAT THERE WAS NO GOODWILL AVAILABLE TO USE FOR MY VEHICLE.

WE HAD A SNOW STORM SO THE VEHICLE SAT IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE NEXT DAY MY WIFE ON HER WAY TO WORK CALLS AND TELLS ME THAT THE TRUCK STARTED TO DISPLAY ALL OF THE FOLLOWING, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITITRAK, ENGINE POWER REDUCED. SHE LOST SPEED BUT NOTHING MAJOR HAPPEN. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO WORK WHILE DRIVING HOME AT A STOP LIGHT THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE AND ALL OF THE SAME MESSAGES STARTED TO COME UP AGAIN, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITITRAK, ENGINE POWER REDUCED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE SAME THING CONTINUED TO HAPPEN WITH THE ENGINE SHAKING AND THE INFORMATION CENTER DISPLAYING EVERYTHING ALL OVER AGAIN. I CALLED A LOCAL GMC DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN. I WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE BACK UP AGAIN AND THE TRUCK WAS FINE, ON THE FREEWAY THE SAME THING HAPPEN SO I DROVE ON THE FRONTAGE ROAD. THE DEALER COULD NOT SERVICE IT DUE TO 3 DAYS WORTH OF WORK TO BE DONE. I WAS TAKING IT HOME AND THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. WE FINALLY GOT IT TO ANOTHER DEALER AND IT CONTINUED TO SNOW, I WENT BACK TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF THE TRUCK AND THE BACK SEATS OF THE TRUCK WERE WET AND I COULD SEE WATER ON THE SECOND ROW. I AM HOPING THAT ITS NOT WIRING ISSUES DO TO ISSUES WITH WATER LEAKAGE FROM THE MOON ROOF OF OUR TRUCK THAT WE FOUND WHILE SEARCHING ON YOUTUBE. I HOPE GM RECALLS THE SUNROOF/ MOON ROOF ISSUES WITH THE LEAKAGE THAT MIGHT BE HARMING THE WIRES INSIDE THE TRUCK. *TR

RECENTLY I NOTICED ONE OF MY DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WAS NOT WORKING SO WHEN I SCHEDULED MY VEHICLE FOR SERVICE I ASKED THE GM DEALER TO REPLACE THE LIGHT. UPON THEIR INVESTIGATION THE DEALER REPORTED THAT THE HEADLIGHT WIRES HAD FUSED OR MELTED TOGETHER AND THAT IT WOULD AN ESTIMATED $800 TO FIX! THEY ALSO MENTIONED THE OTHER LAMP WAS STARTING TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. I WAS MORE CONCERNED THAT THE WIRES LAMP/LIGHT WIRES WERE "FUSED" TOGETHER AND SHORTING OUT! THIS SEAMS TO BE MORE OF A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE RISK OF FIRE OR LOSS OF BOTH HEADLIGHTS! FURTHERMORE, IT IS OUTRAGEOUS FOR A REPLACEMENT OF A DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT TO BE $800 DOLLARS! CAN NHTSA PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND HELP RESOLVE THIS SAFETY HAZARD AND POOR PRODUCT PERFORMANCE AND LOOK AT THE RISK ANALYSIS THAT WAS PERFORMED? *TR

ENGINE LIGHT, ANTILOCK BRAKING, NO REAR SENSORS, AND THE FUEL GAUGE LIGHTS ARE NOW ON AFTER ANOTHER DEALER FIXED TRANSMISSION AND I HAD TO PAY $1,500 AND I SHOULD HAVE NOT PAID ANYTHING. I DID NOT HAVE THESE LIGHTS ON MY DASH BOARD WHEN I WENT TO GET THE TRANSMISSION FIXED AND THE DEALER HAS NOT FIXED THEM. RECENTLY, MY CAR LOST POWER AND DIED ON A BLIND DANGEROUS CURVE AND SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE. I WAS AFRAID TO GET HIT AND FELT MY CAR WAS UNSAFE. WE PUT GAS IN AND WOULD NOT START AND ENGINE WAS HOT. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALER AFTER TWO WEEKS FROM GETTING THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRED AND TOLD DEALER TRANSMISSION HAS NOISES IN IT AND ENGINE WAS HOT AND CAR WOULD NOT START. THEY CALLED AND SAID IT WAS OUT OF GAS AND RUNS NOW, HOWEVER, THEY DID NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUES NOTED ABOVE FOR ALL OF THE LIGHTS THAT WERE ON THE DASH BOARD.

AND THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON, THEN SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGE, & SERVICE STABILITRACK MESSAGE CAME ON TOO & IT STARTED JERKING WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKES LIKE THE ABS BRAKES WERE KICKING IN. SO WE TOOK IT TO ROBINSON'S & THEY TURNED THE ROTARS & ROTATED MY TIRES & WHEN I GOT IT BACK IT RODE LIKE A DUNE BUGGY. TOOK IT BACK & SAID IT NEEDED NEW STRUTS CAUSE "SOMETHING" STAYED IN A LOCKED POSITION OR ANOTHER. SO THEN WE GOT IT BACK & THE SCRUBBING NOISE/FEELING CAME BACK WITH THE BRAKES AGAIN SO THEN THEY FINALLY JUST PUT NEW BRAKES ON IT & SO FAR SO GOOD $1000 LATER!

THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS. DRIVING 65MPH ON FREEWAY WHEN EVERY SERVICE AND WARNING LIGHT WENT ON. REPLACED ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND REPLACE IPC, COULD HAVE KILLED US AND OTHERS. ALSO ENGINE WAS REMOVED TO REPAIR ENGINE FRONT COVER LEAK AT 39,000, NOW AT 85,000 SAME LEAK REPAIR IS REQUIRED AT COST OF $2926. THAT MEANS EVERY 40,000 MILES YOU NEED TO SPEND $3000 AND HAVE ENGINE REMOVED. POWER STEERING ALWAYS MADE WHINING NOISE WHICH I WAS TOLD IS NORMAL. AT 85,000 WAS TOLD STEERING RACK AND PINION GEARS NEED REPLACEMENT AND I AM SURE THE PUMP NEEDS REPLACEMENT AS WELL $2000. WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY COULD NOT STOP ON EXIT WITHOUT BRAKE PEDAL BEING PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR, STABILTRAK LIGHT ON COULD HAVE KILLED US OR SOMEONE. HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. WATER PUMP WAS LEAKING AFTER ENGINE WAS PUT BACK IN FROM 1ST REPAIR OF FRONT COVER ENGINE SEAL. TIMING CHAIN HAS STRETCH YOU CAN HEAR IT, BUT THEY ONLY ADDED THRUST WASHERS. REAR LIFTGATE - WHILE LOADING GROCERIES LIFT GATE FREE FELL CLOSED ON DAUGHTERS HEAD. WAS TOLD REAR LIFT GATE SHOCKS FAILED. COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE. THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP. DON'T BUY IT. *TR

AFTER GETTING IT CHECKED AT THE NEAREST SHOP, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A STUCK SOLENOID.

DID THAT EVEN THOUGH WE WERE DELAYED GOING ON VACATION AND SUBSEQUENTLY HAD IT REPLACED TWO MORE TIMES AS WELL. ALSO HAVE HAD LEAKS IN THE SUNROOF THAT CONTINUE TO RETURN, AND HAVE NOW MESSED UP MY POWER WINDOW CONTROLS TO THE POINT THAT I CAN NOT CONTROL ANY OF THE OTHER WINDOWS FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT. HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE WATER PUMP, FRONT STRUTS, AND NOW THE SOLENOIDS ARE BEING REPLACED AS WELL. WHEN I PURCHASED MY CAR IT HAD RIGHT AT 54K MILES ON IT AND I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, THAT COVERED MY POWER STEERING PUMP ISSUES, BUT I HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THE REST.

BRAKE AND STABILITRAK WARNING LIGHTS ALSO CAME ON. THE CAR DECELERATED LIKE WHEN YOU SHIFT DOWN ON A MANUAL TRANSMISSION WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN, NO RESPONSE. TRIED TURNING STABILITRAK BUTTON BACK ON AND OFF, BUT THIS DID NOTHING. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WAS DIFFICULT TO GET OVER TO SHOULDER. I HAD ABOUT 10 MILES TO GET TO MY HOUSE, SO WATCHED THE ENGINE TEMP GAUGE, AND MADE IT HOME. ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED LIT. THE ENGINE GAUGE INDICATED THE CARS TEMPERATURE ROSE ABOUT 15 DEGREES ABOVE WHAT IT USUALLY IS .STARTED THE CAR THE NEXT DAY WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS OR MESSAGES DISPLAYED AND TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC, HE RAN THE CODES ON CARS COMPUTER. IT SHOWED NO ERRORS,WAS A LITTLE LOW ON WATER. HE SAID TO DRIVE IT AND LET HIM KNOW IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN OPERATION FOR ANOTHER 45 DAYS, WITH NO MORE SIGNS OF PROBLEMS. 46TH DAY, THE VEHICLE'S SERVICE MESSAGE FOR STABILITRAK AND BRAKE FLASHED AGAIN, WITH WARNING LIGHTS FOR THESE COMING ON AS WELL, AFTER CAR WAS DRIVEN APPROX. 4 MILES AND PARKED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR.

I AM ON ACTIVE DUTY AN ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY MEMBER. WHILE ATTENDING A MILITARY SCHOOL, I PURCHASED A NEW 2007 GMC ACADIA FROM A GMC DEALERSHIP NEARBY. AFTER THE COURSE, I SERVED A YEAR AT A MILITARY STATION IN ANOTHER STATE, WHILE THERE, MY VEHICLE WAS SERVICED TWICE FOR RECALLS BY A GMC SERVICE CENTER NEARBY. ONE OF THE RECALLS WAS TO FIX A DEFECT IN THE SUN ROOF THAT WAS CAUSING WATER LEAKS. I HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED IN 09 WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY JUST BEFORE SHIPPING FOR A 2 YEAR OVERSEAS ASSIGNMENT. AT THAT TIME, I IDENTIFIED SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUES. SOON AFTER MY ARRIVAL TO MY OVERSEAS ASSIGNMENT, MORE ELECTRICAL ISSUES DEVELOPED ALONG WITH MYSTERY WATER LEAKS THAT WERE SATURATING THE CARPET AND CAUSING MOLD TO GROW INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO GM SERVICE CENTER IN THAT COUNTRY SO I HAD TO LIVE WITH THE LEAKS AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. FINALLY AFTER ABOUT A YEAR, I HAD A MINOR ACCIDENT WHERE MY TIRE HIT A GUARD RAIL DOING ABOUT 10 MPH. ALL THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED BUT THERE WAS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT I QUIT USING THE VEHICLE. THE SEAT BELTS DIDN'T WORK, THE AC AND HEATER DIDN'T WORK, THE LEFT BLINKER DIDN'T WORK, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF WITH THE KEY, THE BATTERY BOX BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT KEPT FLOODING WITH WATER AND I HAD TO DISCONNECT A BATTERY CABLE EVERY TIME I PARKED THE CAR TO KEEP THE BATTERY FROM DYING. THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE. I AM NOW STATIONED IN THE US AND HAVE SHIPPED THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE USA. I AM NOW TRYING TO RESOLVE ALL THESE ISSUES WITH A LOCAL GM SERVICE CENTER BUT I AM BEING TOLD BY THAT SERVICE CENTER THAT THE VEHICLE IS BASICALLY TOTALED WITH ONLY 60K MILES BUT SINCE IT IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY, I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. *TR

MY 2007 GMC ACADIA HAS ALWAYS HAD VERY POOR TRACTION ON WET ROADS AND SOMETIMES ON DRY ROADS. YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN HEAVY RAIN WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY JERKED TO THE RIGHT AS THOUGH MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE HAD RUN OVER A LARGE OBJECT. A FEW MINUTES LATER IT JERKED RIGHT THEN LEFT THEN RIGHT AGAIN. EACH TIME THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCK FOR AN INSTANT. I FOUND MYSELF PARTLY OVER IN THE OTHER LANE. A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I DIDN'T NOTICE ANY WARNING LIGHTS. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED TWICE MORE BEFORE I REALIZED THAT IT SEEMED TO BE HAPPENING ONLY ON UPSLOPING PARTS OF THE ROAD OR WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. AS I HAD ALWAYS SUSPECTED, THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM ON THIS CAR IS FAULTY AND DANGEROUS. FAULTY POWER STEERING COLD ALSO BE A POSSIBILITY. I TRIED TO DRIVE HOME AT A STEADY SPEED AND HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. ABOUT A YEAR AGO I TOLD MY LOCAL GMC DEALER THAT I THOUGHT THE CAR HAD VERY POOR TRACTION AND THE SYSTEM SHOULD BE LOOKED AT. THEY TOLD ME THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. *TR

GM INSTITUTED RECALL CAMPAIGN #08207: CUSTOMER SATISFACTION - SUNROOF WATER LEAK-INSTALL DRAIN TUBE EXTENSIONS ' DATED: AUG 27, 2008. CAMPAIGN WAS PRECEDED BY NUMEROUS TSBS LINKED TO THE SAME TYPE OF WATER LEAK. AFTER FIRST LEAK IN OCT08, BROUGHT VEHICLE IN FOR THE RECALL AND EXPERIENCED 2 SUBSEQUENT LEAKS SINCE THE INITIAL RECALL REPAIR AS A RESULT OF THE SAME CONDITION. HAVE HAD MOLD IN THE CARPET AND PADDING ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. HAVE HAD SIGNIFICANT CORROSION IN ONE OF THE 2 MAIN FUSE BLOCKS TO THE POINT WHERE SRVC. TECH AT THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT TURN VEHICLE OFF USING THE IGNITION KEY. VEHICLE LEAKS AFTER DRIVING IN RAIN. HAVE SERVICE INVOICES STATING THAT DEALER PERFORMED WATER TESTS AFTER EACH REPAIR AND FOUND NO LEAK YET VEHICLE HAS LEAKED AFTER EVERY REPAIR. HAVE DETAILED COLOR PHOTOS OF SOAKED WIRES, SATURATED HEADLINER, MOLD DAMAGE AND CORRODED FUSE BLOCK. VEHICLE WAS ONLY DRIVEN A TOTAL OF 689 MILES FROM DATE OF THE INITIAL LEAK TO DATE OF THE THIRD LEAK. DURING THIRD LEAK, WATER ALSO DRIPPED FROM VEHICLE'S REAR DISPLAY ONTO THIRD ROW SEATS. I FEEL THAT GM KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FROM THE BEGINNING BECAUSE THEIR AUG08 #08207 RECALL ACTUALLY IDENTIFIED VIN BREAKPOINTS OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. INSTEAD, GM CHOSE TO DEAL WITH IT ON A CASE-TO-CASE BASIS AND IT HAS BECOME A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE WATER DAMAGE CAN AND HAVE ALREADY BEEN FAR-REACHING AND POTENTIALLY COULD INJURE, KILL OR AFFECT THE HEALTH OF OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. CONSIDER OPENING DEFECT INVESTIGATION, ORDER GM TO DO SAFETY RECALL TO FIX PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THIS DESERVES SOME PRESS. *TR

TAKEN BACK TO DEALER AND THIS TIME REPLACE (2) O2 SENSORS AND THE "SENDING UNIT". 2 DAYS LATER, WITH THE GAS GAUGE READING AT HALF FULL, THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD INTO ANOTHER GEAR ON FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC, AND STALLS. CANNOT TURN CAR ON - ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON. TOWED TO DEALER. NOW STATES THAT I NEED A WHOLE NEW GAS TANK BECAUSE THE "BAFFLE" IS BROKEN? STILL AT THE DEALER AND IS UNRESOLVED. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE.
