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.

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.

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.

TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND SAUND PROBLEMS

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRACTION CONTROL AND AIR BAG WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ALSO, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG MODULE FAILED AND WOULD NEED TO BE PROGRAMMED. THE DETAILS FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF THE TRACTION CONTROL COULD NOT BE PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V062000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 158,000.

THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR BOARD ALWAYS HAS A WET SPOT WHEN IT RAINS. THE REAR SPEAKERS DO NOT WORK. THE PASSENGER WINDOW CANNOT BE OPERATED BY THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE REAR WINDOW WIPER FLUID WILL INTERMITTENTLY WORK IF THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK WITH THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL ON.

AT 80,000 MILES TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE REBUILT. CAR IS ALSO LEAKING UNDER THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER FLOOR BOARD AND MOON ROOF/SUNROOF DRIPS DOWN FROM DOME LIGHTS ONTO THIRD ROW SEATS. LEAKING HAS CAUSED MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. WHEN THERE IS A HEAVY RAIN IGNITION WILL STILL RUN EVEN AFTER KEY IS TURNED OFF AND KEY IS OUT OF IGNITION CAR IS CURRENTLY AT 130,000. ALSO IGNITION WILL POWER DOWN EVEN WHILE CARE IS IN MOTION WARNING LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE STATING "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" "TRACTION CONTROL OFF" AND VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. CAR HAS HAD MORE PROBLEMS THAN ANY OTHER I HAVE OWNED, WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GM 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

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

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 CAR HAS LEAKED SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. WE HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIME AT THE PLACE WE BOUGHT IT AND IT CONTINUES TO LEAK. RECENTLY, THE LEAK HAS STARTED TO AFFECT THE ELECTRICAL WORKINGS OF THE CAR. THE FLOOR HAS BEEN SATURATED WITH WATER AND WHEN APPROACHING A STOP, WATER WILL POUR FROM THE CEILING, SOAKING THE DRIVER AND REAR PASSENGERS. THE WATER WILL RUN DOWN THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD WHICH IMPACTS VISIBILITY. *TR

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!

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

DUE TO INSTALLATION OF A FACTORY DEFECT PART IN THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM THE WATER COLLECTION DRAINAGE SYSTEM FOR THE EVAPORATOR BECOMES PLUGGED FROM THE INSIDE. THIS IN TURN DUMPS WATER ONTO ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE INCLUDING THE BLOWER MOTOR AND WIRING HARNESS THAT IS LOCATED UNDER THE PASSENGER FLOOR. IT IS A NON SERVICEABLE ISSUE THAT REQUIRED COMPLETE TEAR DOWN AND FACTORY REPLACEMENT PARTS TO CORRECT. IT IS A FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2008 MODEL AND THE NEWER MODELS ALL COME EQUIPPED WITH AN AIR CLEANER IN THE AC DUCTING TO PREVENT THE PROBLEM. *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.

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

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

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

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

I EXPERIENCED WATER LEAKING AND RUNNING DOWN THE INSIDE OF BOTH OF THE FRONT DOORS. IN ADDITION, THE DASH LIGHTS FADED IN AND OUT INTERMITTENTLY, THE CLOCK LOSES TIME, THE NAV AND RADIO SCREEN BLACKS OUT, AND THE STABILITY TRAK SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON. THEY "FIXED" THE WATER LEAK BY EXTENDING THE DRAIN HOSES ON THE SUNROOF. ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WERE FOUND TO BE RELATED TO THE LEAKS IN THE SUNROOF. ON SEPT. 18THE OF THE SAME YEAR, I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO HAVE A RECALL ON THE SUNROOF DRAINS PERFORMED. I ADVISED THAT I WAS STILL HAVING THE SAME ELECTRICAL ISSUES. A DIMMER SWITCH WAS ORDERED. ON FEB. 20, 2012 I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND HEARD A FAINT PINGING NOISE LIKE A DYING SMOKE ALARM EMITTING FROM THE PASSENGER DASH AREA. I TOOK IT TO A GMC CENTER AND WAS TOLD THAT WATER HAD LEAKED BEHIND THE DASH, CAUSING CORROSION AND A SHORT IN THE IP FUSE BOX. I HAD TO PAY ALMOST $1,000 TO HAVE THE LEAK SEALED (DESIGN FLAW) AND HAD TO HAVE A NEW ELECTRICAL BLOCK INSTALLED. I CALLED AND COMPLAINED TO GM THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR DAMAGE THAT RESULTED FROM 1) A POOR DESIGN AND 2) DAMAGE THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED SINCE I HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN TWICE ON PRIOR LEAKS WHICH WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN FIXED. IT HAS BEEN THREE WEEKS AND I AM STILL GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM GM. NOW THEY CLAIM IT WASN'T THE SUNROOF LEAKING, BUT THE DOOR. A LEAK IS A LEAK AND IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHECKED ON THE PRIOR SERVICE VISITS. APPARENTLY THE LEAKING HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE SOMETIME. I SEE THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME BAD EXPERIENCE. HERE WE BAILED OUT A COMPANY THAT WON'T BACK UP ITS PRODUCT. *TR

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

BATTERY COMPLETELY DRAINS WHILE PARKED IN MY GARAGE OVERNIGHT. THERE ISN'T EVEN ENOUGH JUICE TO RELEASE THE REAR DOOR LOCK SO I CAN RETRIEVE JUMPER CABLES FROM THE REAR STORAGE AREA OF THE GMC ACADIA. *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

2007 GMC ACADIA WITH SEVERAL SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES. SHE STATES THAT THE VEHICLE HAS HAD THESE PROBLEMS: A LARGE PUDDLE OF OIL UNDER THE VEHICLE, WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING, BATTERY DIED AND SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING. *KB THE DEALER TOLD THE CONSUMER THE FRONT SHAFT SEAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TO CORRECT THE LEAK FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THEY ALSO STATED THERE WAS A DRAIN ON THE SYSTEM THAT CAUSED THE BATTERY TO FAIL. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY UPGRADED THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH HAD TO BE DONE TWICE. THE POWER STEERING MADE A LOUD NOISE, THE CONSUMER STATED IT SOUNDED AS IF THE PUMP WAS ABOUT SEIZE AND THEN THE STEERING BECOMES HARD. THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS WHILE IN DRIVE ON A SLIGHT INCLINE.*JB UPDATED 04/10/08
