2007 GMC ACADIA Structure Problems

The contact owns a 2007 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that while it was raining, water was leaking from the driver's side door into the foot well. The contact stated that the water caused a short circuit, which caused the electrical system to stop sounding warning chimes, turn signals, and the radio was inoperable. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the amplifier needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, RAIN WATER ENTERED THE VEHICLE FROM NEAR THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE SUN VISOR. THE WATER ALSO LEAKED IN FROM THE SUN ROOF AND ROOF OF VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AN AUDIBLE WARNING CHIME ACTIVATED AND THE STABILI-TRAC WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE SWERVED FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND WAS UNSTABLE TO DRIVE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WERE NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT YET NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000. *BF *TR

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. I CANNOT MAKE A REPAIR OF THAT AMOUNT NOR SHOULD I BE RESPONSIBLE TO HAVE THAT TESTED OUT.

TAILGATE GOES UP THEN SUDDENLY REVERSES AND HITS ME ON TOP OF HEAD. WORSE IN COOLER WEATHER. HAS BEEN FIXED UNDER PREVIOUS RECALL BUT STILL HAS PROBLEM. DEALER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE PROBLEM ULESS I PAY $145 FOR DIAGNOSTIC.

I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION WHEN MY VEHICLE HAD AROUND 61,000 MILES. VEHICLE WAS NOT GOING OVER 25 MPH AND SOMETIME IT DID NOT RUN AT ALL. I TOOK IT SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALER, ACTUALLY A TOWN TRUCK HAD TO TAKE IT BECAUSE IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IT. IT TOOK A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT FOR ME TO FINALLY GET MY GMC ACADIA FIXED. THAT WAS IN 2015. TWO YEARS LATER I HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION AGAIN, MY GMC HAS NOW 104,000 MILES. I WENT BACK TO THE GMC DEALER WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED BEFORE, BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT GUARANTEE HAD ENDED 2 MONTHS AGO AND I HAD TO PAY $1,021 TO GET THE TRANSMISSION FIXED. I'M ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HOOD LIFT AND THE HEADLIGHT SWITH IS NOT WORKING

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.

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. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE NOW I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT I AM MAKING PAYMENTS ON WITH A PROBLEM THAT I'M SURE WILL LEAD TO OTHER MAJOR PROBLEMS. *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

AFTER A RAINSTORM OR CONTACT WITH WATER ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE'S ROOF LEAKS TREMENDOUSLY, NEAR FRONT SUNROOF AND WINDSHIELD COLUMN ON PASSENGER SIDE, AND AROUND THE REAR SUNROOF. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED OVER 3 TIMES BY A GM DEALER UNDER WARRANTY, BUT NOW THE CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND I WILL BE PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS, AND THE REPAIRS DON'T REALLY REPAIR THE PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE'S INTERIOR AND AC NOW SMELLS LIKE MOLD/MILDEW, AND I AM GREATLY CONCERNED FOR THE HEALTHY OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. *JB

WATER HAS BEEN POURING IN THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. IT STARTED IN THE REAR OVERHEAD LIGHTS, DVD PLAYER AND HAS PROGRESSED TO THE FRONT OF THE INTERIOR, SOAKING THE DASH BOARD AND CAUSING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION. SO MUCH AS KILLING THE BATTERY, THE REAR DOOR OPENING ON ITS OWN, THE HEAT NOT RESPONDING TO THE FRONT . I SPOKE TO TECHNICIANS IN SALISBURY WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR, A GMC DEALERSHIP. HE HAS STATED MY WARRANTY HAD RUN OUT, NEVER STATING THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE ACADIA. I THOUGHT IT WAS A SEAL PROBLEM AND SET OUT TO ORDER ONE FROM THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED IT THAT TIME, IT WAS PROBABLY THE DRAIN HOSES, OD COURSE THE PROBLEM WAS NOT IDENTIFIED AS BEING COMMON WITH THIS VEHICLE. BUT WAS TOLD TO "BLOW OUT THE DRAIN HOSES" I HAVE TO PUT PLASTIC OVER MY CAR TO PREVENT WATER FROM ENTERING, MY RESEARCH HAS DISCOVERED SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE GMC HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND BE MADE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. FIRST THE STRUTS WERE BLOWN, THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD GO FROM BRIGHT TO DIM, THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A CLICKING NOISE, THE WINDOWS LEAK...THIS CAR ONLY HAS 41,000 MILES I MEAN COME ON! NOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS COMPLETELY FAILED AND AFTER READING OTHER WEBSITES IT SOUNDS LIKE I WILL BE PAYING $4,000 DOLLARS. I AM A NEW MOM AND HAVE 3 STEP KIDS. I CAN'T FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR BECAUSE I'M WORRIED ABOUT IT BREAKING DOWN CONSTANTLY. NOW I HAVE TO DUMP ALL THIS MONEY THAT I DON'T HAVE INTO IT. I REALLY JUST WANT TO CUT MY LOSSES, BUT IS THAT REALLY THE BEST THING TO DO? I'M STUCK WITH THIS JUNKER CAR AND I COULDN'T FEEL MORE SORRY FOR ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I'M ABSOLUTELY MISERABLE. THANKS GMC YOU SUCK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HAVING REGULAR MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE, THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED HIM THAT THERE WAS A LEAK FROM AN UNKNOWN SOURCE THAT WAS CAUSING THREE INCHES OF WATER TO ACCUMULATE ON THE FLOORBOARD AREA. THE CONTACT REMOVED THE CARPET FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE FLOORBOARD AND DISCOVERED THAT THE FLOORBOARD WAS COVERED IN MILDEW. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 96,600.

BOUGHT A USED 2007 GMC ACADIA SLT IN MAY OF 2010, SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD HEADLIGHTS BLOWING CONSTANTLY, ENGINE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING, WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON, HOWEVER MY BIGGEST ISSUE IS THAT I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN SUNNY EL PASO, TX AND THEN MOVED TO RAINY GERMANY WITH THE MILITARY. NOW THE CAR IS CONSTANTLY LEAKING WATER FROM THE SEAT BELTS, AIRBAG SQUARES, EMERGENCY BRAKE, DVD SYSTEM AND SEVERAL PLACES ON THE ROOF (INSIDE) AND THE PILLARS (INSIDE). I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS MESSING WITH ALL THE ELECTRICAL OF MY CAR AND I AM WONDERING IF MY AIRBAGS WILL WORK IF EVER NEEDED. IT SEEMS THERE IS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE WORLD THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT GMC WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I CANT GET RID OF THE CAR BECAUSE OF THIS AND I AM NOT SURE I WANT TO TAKE THE RISK OF DRIVING IT. WHAT NOW? GMC ONLY PUTS OUT A TSB FOR THIS BUT WONT ADDRESS THE ACTUAL PROBLEM, SINCE I BOUGHT USED I HAVE NO WARRANTY PLUS I AM OVERSEAS WHERE THERE IS NO ONE TO FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY EVEN IF IT WAS POSSIBLE. *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

Mileage: 15,499

TRANSMISSION DEAD-RACING RPM WITHOUT GEAR SHIFTING, BROKEN WAVE PLATE INSIDE TRANSMISSION IS THE CAUSE. WATER LEAKING FROM SUNROOF WHEN RAINING, CONSTANT WHINNING IN STEERING COLUMN. ALL THESE MAJOR PROBLEMS UNDER 75K MILES. *TR

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

Mileage: 56,600

MOLD/MUSTY SMELL, WATER LEAKING FROM DVD ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM AND UNDER DASH ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER FLOORBOARDS. DEALER CLEANED SUNROOF DRAINS, REPLACED SUNROOF SEAL, STILL LEAKING. WATER IS SETTLING INTO ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IN DASH INCLUDING THE BLOWER MOTOR. *TR

Mileage: 42,000

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

LEFT FRONT HEADLAMP INOPERATIVE. REQUIRES $1200. IN REPAIRS. VEHICLE UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN AT NIGHT. THIS IS THE MOST RECENT ISSUE. SINCE BUYING THE VEHICLE NEW. WE HAVE HAD MAJOR ENGINE FAILURE. TRANSMISSION FAILURE. WATER LEAKS FROM MOON ROOF. WHICH EFFECTED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE MONITOR SYSTEM. RECALLED WASHER SYSTEM . THE ISSUE WITH THE HEADLAMP IS A DEFECT IN DESIGN. THOUGH THERE IS A RECALL FOR NON HID. THE WIRING ON THE HID SYSTEMS IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. GM REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. EVEN THOUGH IT A KNOWN DEFECT. I AM A MASTER AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN AND HAVE BEEN FOR 26 YEARS. I WILL PROVIDE EXPERT TESTIMONY ALONG WITH THE CAUSE OF DEFECT. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FROM 2 ASPECTS FIRE AND SAFELY DRIVING THE VEHICLE. *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

WATER LEAKING FROM FRONT PASSENGER SEATBELT IN HEAVY RAIN. THIS IS ALSO THE SAME ARE WHERE AN AIRBAG IS LOCATED. THE AIRBAG SYMBOL ACTUALLY HAS WATER LEAKING FROM IT. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2007 GMC ACADIA BRAND NEW. RECENTLY HAVE BEEN HAVING SERIOUS WATER LEAKS ON PASSENGER SIDE. THE AREAS ARE THE SEATBELT AREA AND NEAR THE FLOORBOARD. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME IT RAINS AND HAPPENS RATHER QUICKLY IN THE FLOORBOARD AREA. SEVERAL TOWELS GET SOAKED WITHIN AN HOUR. MY FAMILY AND I ARE DEPENDENT ON THIS VEHICLE TO GET US TO SCHOOL AND WORK. FEELING VERY UNSURE OF PURCHASING FROM GM AGAIN DUE TO THE FACT I'VE READ SO MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS AND NO ACTION BEING TAKEN ON THEIR PART. MY YOUNG CHILDREN AND I DID LOVE THIS VEHICLE BUT NOW ARE SCARED TO GO OUT ANYWHERE WHEN IT IS RAINING. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 GMC ACADIA SLT-2 AND I HAVE NOW EXPERIENCED 3 WATER LEAKS INSIDE THE VEHICLE DUE TO DRAIN TUBES CLOGGING. THE CAR FILLS UP WITH WATER ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOORS. I WAS TOLD BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR THAT DRAIN TUBE EXTENSIONS WERE INSTALLED BUT THIS HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM IT IS UNBELIEVABLE TO THINK THAT GMC IS SELLING A FORTY THOUSAND DOLLAR CAR WITH THESE DESIGN ISSUES. JUST PAID DEALER $ 100.00 TO FIX THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED. HOW LONG BEFORE I AM SWIMMING IN MY CAR AGAIN? MOLD ISSUES MAYBE. *TR

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

I PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM GMC DEALERSHIP A 2007 GMC ACADIA. ABOUT A YEAR LATER AFTER HEAVY RAINS, I HAD WATER LEAKING FROM THE SUNROOF AND DVD PLAYER AREA. I DID RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT BAD ROOF DRAIN TUBES. TOOK ACADIA INTO DEALERSHIP FEB20, 2009 TO GET INSTALLED/REPAIRED. YEAR LATER, FEB 18, 2010, HAD TO AGAIN, TAKE ACADIA INTO DEALERSHIP FOR SAME ISSUE. WATER COMING THRU LIGHT FIXTURES NOW. BUT THEY REPLACED SEAL ON SUNROOF. ON MAY 17,2010, RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE AGAIN, WATER LEAKING INTO CAR. SAID THEY WATER TESTED CAR AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS. (THEY TOLD ME IT'S BECAUSE I PARK MY CAR ON A INCLINE DRIVEWAY.) ARRIVED TO TAKE MY CAR HOME, BUT THEY STOPPED ME BECAUSE WHEN THEY WASHED MY CAR, THEY NOTICED WATER LEAKING FROM THE ROOF (SAME AREAS AS BEFORE). THEY "FIXED" THE PROBLEM AGAIN, AND RETURNED ACADIA TO ME. AND YESTERDAY, 2 MONTHS LATER, I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SAME WATER LEAK ISSUE. AGAIN, TOLD ME NOT TO PARK ON INCLINE. THEY RESEALED REAR SUNROOF, REMOVED HEADLINER AND SUNROOF FRAME AND SEALED DRAIN HOLES PER BULLETIN. SAME DAY THERE WAS RAINS, AND NO MORE THAN 6 HOURS LATER, ACADIA IS STILL LEAKING WATER ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. CARPET SOAKING WET AND THE SMELL OF MILDEW IS SETTING IN. TOTAL OF 4 ATTEMPTS TO FIX LEAKING WATER IN ACADIA. NOT FIXED YET. (FOR THE RECORD, THE ACADIA IS A GREAT CROSSOVER VEHICLE. THE ONLY ISSUE I HAVE WITH IT IS THE LEAKING ROOF.) *TR

SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN BRAND NEW CONDITION AROUND NOVEMBER 2007 THE VEHICLE HAS ENCOUNTER SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH WATER GETTING INSIDE THE CABIN DUE TO THE POOR WATER DRAIN SYSTEM INSTALLED ON VEHICLE. WATER DRAIN SYSTEM HAS BEEN REPAIR IN SECTIONS AND TAKEN TO GMC SHOP FOR ALL RECALLS. THE WATER DRAIN SYSTEM HAS FAILED AGAIN ON MAY 31, 2010 WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE CAR WASH. THE DEALER/GMC SHOP IS AWARE OF THE ON-GOING ISSUE. THE ENTIRE WATER DRAIN SYSTEM ON THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE REPLACED OR VEHICLE BOUGHT BACK FROM GMC, IF WATER GETS INTO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IT COULD BE A POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL FIRE, INJURIES, TRAFFIC COLLISIONS OR DEATH. *TR

WATER ENTERING INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. POINTS OF ENTRY INCLUDE: SIDE AIR BAG OPENINGS, FOOT EMERGENCY BRAKE(WHICH IS LOCATED NEAR VEHICLE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS) SHOULDER SEAT BELT OPENINGS AND THROUGH DVD SCREEN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICE FOR THIS COMPLAINT. THE HEADLINER WAS REMOVED AND REPAIRS HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTED. MY CONCERN ARE WITH THE DAMAGE TO AIR BAG OUTPUT IN EMERGENCY DUE TO WATER, ELECTRICAL COMPONENT DAMAGE SUCH AS DVD PLAYER AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENT BY EMERGENCY BRAKE AND ALSO THE MOISTURE THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO FOR MOLD AND MILDEW. *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.
