2008 GMC ACADIA Unknown Or Other Problems

The traction control turns on and then the shifts don’t work and I can’t drive since there is no speed also the rpm and the gas the speed and the battery gages start flickering up and down then I turn off the truck and it continues to work fine but after 40 miles or so it does it all again

UNKNOWN 2008 GMC ACADIA back lift starts to open and then shuts right back down. try to raise it manually and it falls right back down. It can really hurt someone. would like to know what causes it to do that and if there is a recall.

Airbag light on 24/7, ABS malfunction traction control system turns off randomly, wiper blade fluid not spraying (front, rear) engine misfire on idle, clear/white smoke from hood and burning smell.

Liftgate Malfunction: When rear liftgate is manually opened on vehicle, it continues to make a noise after it is completely opened. This noise sounds as though the liftgate is still in the process of opening. There is also an issue when closing the liftgate. Although it is properly closed, it will show a warning sign moments later in the car saying it is opened. When the car is put back in park to check, the liftgate is closed, but the latch has released. So the liftgate is able to be opened without pressing the button to open it. Sometimes it can take a few times of closing the liftgate for it to stay latched and properly closed. The automatic opening function of the liftgate does not work as well.

Well my back trunk doesnt worrk well i open it but it closes half way it almost closed on me and its done that more then 3 times and im not sure why its scary cause my child almost got hit with it not opening right.

Vehicle has a sunroof drainage issue. Water leaks in through the corners of the sunroof and spills into the dashboard and under the carpeting. The vehicle has suffered electrical damage, corrosion, and mold because of the sunroof drainage issue. I have seen forums with hundreds of other owners who have suffered the same exact sunroof drainage problem with their 2007-2008 GMC Acadias. GMC says my vehicle is not listed in the recall, but I find that laughable. There are way too many Acadia owners that have this exact issue for it not to be a problem with all Acadias.

SunROOF IS CLOGGED RAIN HAS GOTTEN INSIDE VEHICLE SOAKED UP THE FLOORS THE INTERIOR UP BY THE SUNROOF. GMC MADE RHIS MIDEL HORRIBLY AND THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE FILING OR JUST DON'T CARE. IT MESSES UP THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THEY NEED RO RECALL THE SUNROOF. RECALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ALONG WITH IT. SUNROOF IS CLOGGED

The service stability track warning will come on while driving. It will then make the SUV shut off. This is really terrifying since it happens while driving. After the SUV shuts off, you have to wait a couple minutes before you're able to restart. The last two months, the service airbag warning will come up on the screen out of no where. It will come on while driving and setting stationary. Water will pour out from the glove box while driving.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT COMING ON WHENEVER THE PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT IS PULLED TO HARD OR EVEN IF I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THIS ALSO OCCURS WHEN THE PASSENGER MAKES THE SLIGHTEST OF MOVEMENT IN THE SEAT. IT OCCURS BOTH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. IT IS STARTING TO HAPPEN MORE AND MORE AS TIME GOES ON. IT HAPPENED TODAY JUST GOING TO THE TOP OF MY DRIVEWAY WHICH IS LESS THAN A MILE LONG AND BACK TO THE HOUSE. ALSO, I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY TAILGATE RANDOMLY FALLING WHEN HALFWAY OPEN OR FULLY OPEN. THE TAILGATE HAS ALMOST CAUSED INJURY TO MY HUSBAND, BOTH OF MY BOYS AND MYSELF. THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS STATIONARY WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS AND DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME THE TAILGATE IS OPENED.

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WOULD NOT GO INTO 2ND OR ANOTHER GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT SHIFTING. I LOVE THE ACADIA BUT THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. IT DEFINITELY IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IT LEFT ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. LUCKILY I HAD A PLACE TO PULL OVER. WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS AN OUTRAGEOUS COST FOR SOMETHING THAT GMC KNOWS ABOUT.

THE RADIO RANDOMLY STOPPED WORKING A FEW WEEKS AGO AND THE SIGNAL LIGHT YOU CAN'T HEAR. NO BEEPS AT ALL ARE BEING HEARD SINCE THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING. IT TURNS ON BUT YOU CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING. YOU ALSO CAN'T HEAR ANY OF THE SENSORS IF THEY LIGHT UP ON THE DASH.

TRANSMISSION FAILED, TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR, TRANSMISSION STUCK IN FIRST GEAR, GM APPROVED A 2013 SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED IN 2017, THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPAIRED AND THE ENTIRE ENGINE HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING AGAIN BECAUSE IT IS A PRODUCT DEFECT THAT IS DANGEROUS. GM HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE AND THE AUTONATION HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE. GM AND AUTONATION HAVE SOLD A DANGEROUS USED CAR WITH A FRAUDULENT INTENT. GM AND AUTONATION HAVE RATIFIED THE INTENTIONAL FRAUD. THE CAR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE IT IS STILL DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND THE TRANSMISSION IS CURRENTLY FAILING AGAIN.

THIS CAR HAS LEAKED SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM MULTIPLE TIMES. THE LAST TIME THEY LOOKED AT IT THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A LEAK BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND WHERE IT WAS. MY AMP HAS SHORTED OUT DUE TO ALL THE WATER AND I CAN IMAGINE WHAT'S NEXT. I AM SO SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE OF WHAT COULD GO OUT NEXT. I WISH GMC WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT ALL OF OUR ISSUES WITH THE SAME WATER LEAK! I AM GETTING PRETTY TIRED OF GETTING RAINED ON INSIDE MY CAR.

MY LIFT GATE DOOR FELL AND HIT ME IN THE HEAD OUT OF NO WHERE AND MY CAR IS NOT ON THE LIST FOR THE RECALL FOR THAT EXACT PROBLEM. MY AIRBAG INDICATOR GOES OFF ALL THE TIME EVEN IF NO ONE IS IN THE FRONT SEAT. MY SPEEDOMETER BARELY WORKS, IT GOES COMPLETELY AROUND AND I CAN'T GET IT TO RESET. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP JUST TO BE TOLD IT'S A SENSOR THAT CAUSES IT ALONG WITH THE SLOW CRANKING BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHICH ONE IT WAS BECAUSE MY CAR HAS 4.

MY CAR LEAKS ALL AT THE TOP OF THE CAR WHEN IT RAINS. THE SUNROOF DOES NOT LEAK BUT AROUND THE WINDSHIELD LEAKS, IN THE BACK SEAT BY THE LIGHTS IT LEAKS AND AT THE EMERGENCY BREAK IT LEAKS. MY CAR GETS FLOODED AND THE FLOORING IS GETTING NASTY AND MOLDED. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE MOVING OR LET IT SIT ALONE, WHEN IT RAINS LIGHT OR HARD THE CAR FLOODS ON THE INSIDE. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN FEBRUARY 2016 AND IT HAS LEAKED SINCE I FIRST GOT THE CAR BUT ONLY GETTING WORSE.

WORSE PROBLEM IS THE GEAR SHIFTER, WHEN IS COOL IT WILL SHIFT BUT AFTER I AM DRIVING IT I CANT HARDLY GET IT TO CHANGE GEARS OR GO INTO PARK. MY LIFT GATE KEEP COMING DOWN WHEN OPEN. ALSO MY

WATER LEAKAGE INSIDE OF MY VEHICLE

WATER LEAKS INSIDE THE CAR WHEN IT RAINS MOSTLY ON THE FRONT AREA COMING FROM THE ROOF AN THE SIDE DOORS.

TAKATA RECALL- I PURCHASED A 2008 GMC AWD ACADIA ABOUT A YEAR AGO. WHILE TEST DRIVING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED A WHINY SOUND THAT I INFORMED THE DEALER ABOUT UPON RETURN. THE DEALER CHECKED IT OUT AND TOLD ME IT JUST NEED POWER STEERING FLUID. SO HE FILLED THE FLUIDS AND I HEARD NOTHING FOR A MONTH OR SO. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK FOR MISC. REPAIRS TWO OTHER TIMES AFTER THAT REGARDING SOUNDS THAT I WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. AFTER THAT THINGS SEEMED FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS OR SO. EARLY SEPTEMBER, THE TRUCK SLOWED DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. THE DASH WAS READING 60MPH BUT I WAS REALLY GOING 30MPH. THEN WHILE EXITING TO TURN OFF THE HIGHWAY THE POWER STEERING BEGAN ACTING UP AND WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN. I ALMOST RAN INTO THE WALL NOT PREPARED TO USE SUCH FORCE. AUGUST 29TH I WENT TO JIFFY LUBE AND HAD THE FLUIDS TOPPED OFF AND POWER STEERING FLUID WAS FULL. I PUT THE TRUCK IN THE SHOP FOR A FULL DIAGNOSTIC AFTER THE BATTERY WENT COMPLETELY DEAD AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START IN OCTOBER. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE POWER STEERING RACK NEEDING REPLACING AND THE FAULTY SUN ROOF HAD FLOODED THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WITH 1 1/2 INCHES OF WATER. THE BATTERY DIED BECAUSE THE PORT WAS FILLED WITH WATER. FROM THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER, WHEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT, THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN VERY SHORT DISTANCES (TO THE GAS STATION ON THE CORNER, LESS THAN A MILE). I CALLED A GM DEALER TO CHECK FOR RECALLS AND THERE ARE NONE WHICH IS SAD AND A TOTAL RIP OFF.

THE HATCHBACK WON'T STAY UP. MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE HATCHBACK FALLING RECALL.

THIS CAR IS A LEAKING VEHICLE. AFTER A HEAVY RAIN I GOT IN MY CAR AND WATER JUST CAME FLOODING INTO MY VEHICLE. I HAD IT REPAIRED AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASE THE CAR. SHORTLY AFTER MY STEREO SYSTEM WENT OUT I HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY AMP. BUT BECAUSE OF THE ESTIMATED REPAIR COST I CHOSE NOT TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. JUST RECENTLY MY SON PULLED THE DEVICE INSIDE THE DOOR AND ALL OF F THEM WERE FULL OF WATER. IT'S LIKE ALL MY SEALS ARE LEAKING ON MY VEHICLE. FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK. I'M REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I MAY NOT BE THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE RESPOND

SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK THE I GET AN ON AND OFF MESSAGE TO SERVICE THE AIR BAG. ALSO WHILE I AM DRIVING THE TRUCK OVER HEATS AND WHEN I COME TONA STOP AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND COMPLETELY REMIVE THE KEY. THE ENGINE STAYS ON AND WATER PUMP STARTS TO BUBLE AS IF THE WATER WAS BOILING AND AFTER ABOUT FIVE MINUTES THERE IS NO WATER IN THE PUMP AND WHEN YOU ADD WATER THE WATER GET EXTREMELY HOT. I HAVE SEEN IN OTHER FORUMS WHERE ALL HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE QUALITY OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE FOUR SMALL CHILDREN AND DON'T FEEL SAFE HOWEVER THE TRUCK IS FINANCED AND I HAVE NO OPTION.

BOUGHT 2008 ACADIA LOVE CAR BUT WHEN IT RAINS IT LEAKS IN HEADLINER HAD DRAIN TUBES CLEANED WORKED ABOUT A MONTH NEEDED TO BE DONE AGAIN CALLED GM ABOUT A RECALL SAID THEY HADN'T HAD ANY COMPLAINTS WHICH I SEE IS NOT TRUE BUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE DRAIN TUBES IS THE ELBOW WHAT IDIOT WOULD EXPECT TO HAVE GOOD DRAINAGE WITH A ELBOW CONNECTED TO A SMALL DRAIN TUBE GM DOESN'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AND NEEDS SOMEONE WITH COMMON SENSE TO DESIGN SUCH PARTS. IF IT DOESN'T WORK THEY SHOULD FIX IT THESE VEHICLES ARE HIGH PRICED AND CHEAPLY MADE. DRIVING OR PARKED STILL LEAKS

CAR ROLLS WHEN IN PARK. I HAVE VIEWED HUNDREDS OF COMMENTS ONLINE OF THE SAME MAKE/MODEL/YEAR DOING THE SAME THING.

MY 2008 GMC ACADIA LEAKS WATER IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT LOCATIONS INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN IT RAINS. IT HAS LEAKED WATER THROUGH THE AIR BAGS AND I'M NOW CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAGS COULD BE WATER DAMAGED AND COMPROMISED. IT LEAKS THROUGH ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. IT SMELLS LIKE MOLD AND MILDEW IN THE CAR. CONDENSATION BUILDS UP IN THE CAR FREQUENTLY AFTER IT RAINS. THE CAR WILL ALSO SPUTTER AND ACT LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY SOMETIMES. IT TELLS ME TO 'SERVICE TRACTION CONTROLS' AND 'SERVICE STABILITRACK'.

THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF ABRUPTLY WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE AS TURNED OFF IN A PARKED-IDLING POSITION, ROLLING AT FIVE MPH, AND EVEN BETWEEN 60-70 MPH. MOST OF THE TIME WHEN THE CAR SHUTS DOWN, YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR WITHOUT REMOVING THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND INSERTING IT TO THE ON POSITION CYCLING THAT MOTION FOUR TO FIVE TIMES. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND SPOKEN TO OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR AS I HAVE AND THEY ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I AM CERTAIN I AM NOT THE ONLY COMPLAINT REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY FOR MY FAMILY AND MYSELF BECAUSE AS MENTIONED BEFORE, THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM. THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER THERE IS NOT. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

BOUGHT VEHICLE WITH ONLY 23K MILES ON IT, TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING UP WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF DRIVING IT, TAKEN TO A DEALER, SAID NOTHING WRONG, ANOTHER YEAR LATER GOT WORSE, TOOK IT IN TO A DIFFERENT DEALER, NOTHING WRONG, 6 MONTHS LATER TOOK IT IN BEFORE GOING ON VACATION, NOTHING WRONG, BUT HAD PROBLEMS WHILE ON VACATION, 6 MONTHS LATER, 1,500 MILES AWAY FROM HOME ON VACATION, DRIVING DOWN A 75 MILE AN HOUR SPEED LIMIT DIVIDED HIGHWAY, TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITH NO WARNING, NO DASH WARNING, TOOK IN TO A TRANSMISSION DEALER (SINCE WE COULDN'T GET INTO A DEALER) AND SAID WE WOULDN'T MAKE IT HOME THE WAY IT WAS. 5 GRAND LATER AND A MESS OF A VACATION LATER WE WERE ON OUR WAY HOME. LESS THAN 3 MONTHS LATER, TIGHTEN GAS CAP LIGHT ON DASH, CHECK TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT ON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. FOUND OUT ONLINE THAT THIS MODEL AND MAKE AND YEAR HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION, DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THERE WAS NO RECALL AND HOW GM GOT AWAY WITH IT. OH, AND WE WERE UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY IN THE BEGINNING WHERE THEY SAID NOTHING WRONG, AND AS SOON AS WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED, BOOM! TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE FIXED! TRANSMISSION DEALER SAID THE DAMAGE WAS FROM A CHEAP 15.00 PART THAT CAUSED US TO HAVE TO SPEND 5 GRAND WHILE ON VACATION. WE HAVE ALL SHOP PAPERWORK SHOWING THE PAPER TRAIL WHAT WE TRIED TO GET FIXED.

THE MOST RECENT HEAVY DOWNPOUR OF RAIN THIS PAST WEEK RESULTED IN WATER POURING IN FROM MY HEADLINER!! DOWN BOTH VISORS AND DOWN SEATBELT POSTS. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM THAT HAS OCCURRED ON THE EXACT MODEL VEHICLE AND YEAR BUT WITH DIFFERENT VIN NUMBERS ASSOCIATED. I CALLED GM AND THEY STATED IT'S ON ME TO FIX. IT'S THE EXACT DEFECT A HUGE RECALL WAS ISSUED ON SEVERAL YEARS AGO, LIKE I SAID FOR DIFFERENT VIN BUT SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR, AND IT INVOLVES THE SAME NEW KITS NEEDING INSTALLED THAT WERE FOR THAT RECALL. PRESENTLY WAITING FOR MY APPT AT MY LOCAL GM DEALER TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM AND NOT HAPPY ABOUT THE CASE I OPENED WITH GM CORPORATION TO BASICALLY BE ADVISED THIS MORNING 'OH WELL... WASN'T FOR YOUR PARTICULAR VIN SO YOU'RE OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS'. NOT COOL!!! PLEASE ADVISE WHAT CAN BE DONE/ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS!!

I HEAR WATER SWISHING AROUND IN THE CEILING, HOWEVER NOTHING SEEMS TO BE WET. THE SUNROOF IS ALWAYS CLOSED. TWENTY MINUTES INTO THE DRIVE TO WORK, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE WAS NOT ENGAGED).... THE DASH BRAKE LIGHT AND CHIME SOUND CONTINUED UNTIL I REACHED MY DESTINATION. WHEN I FINALLY STOPPED AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON...BOTH HAD STOPPED. AFTER COMPLETING MY WORK DAY, I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE DASH LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN...THE BRAKE WAS NOT ENGAGED....I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED...THEN IT WENT AWAY. I STILL HERE WATER IN THE ROOF WHEN I TURN CORNERS.

2ND TIME TO DEALER FOR WATER LEAK FROM SUNROOF (THIS TIME FROM SUNROOF THAT DOES NOT OPEN). SOAKING WET PASSENGER FLOOR, FUSE BOX OPENED FROM WATER, WATER COMING FROM SIDE PILLARS. DIAGNOSIS LAST TIME WAS TUBES, THIS TIME WINDOW REPLACED AND ENTIRE ROOF SEALED. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WATER RUNNING THRU FUSE BOX/ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. COMMON PROBLEM, TSB'S AND YET NO RECALL BY GM. DEALER REFUSES TO HONOR TSB & REQUEST GM PAY FOR REPAIRS. $400.00 JUST FOR LABOR. READING ALL OVER THE INTERNET PLUS TSBS, WATER DAMAGE IS COMMON FOR 2008 ACADIA AND FUTURE VEHICLES. THE GOVERNMENT ALLOWING GM TO CONTINUE PUTTING OUR LIVES AT RISK & NOT FORCING A RECALL IS RIDICULOUS. I UNDERSTAND NORMAL WEAR & TEAR BUT GM ACADIA'S ARE DEFECTIVE, ALL OF MY REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DUE TO DEFECTS!

THERE ARE MANY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. DID DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THEY FIX THEM AND YET THEY'RE STILL NOT RESOLVED. THESE ISSUES INCLUDE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, THE AIRBAG SYSTEM, THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM, ISSUES WITH WATER LEAKING THROUGH THE SUNROOF, L]]AS WELL AS WATER LEAKING INTO THE INTERIOR LIGHTS. THERE ARE ALSO ISSUES WITH LIFTGATE WORKING CORRECTLY. ALL OF THESE ARE ISSUES WITH MY ACADIA. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO TO HANDLE THIS PROPERLY. THIS CAR HAS TURNED INTO A DEATH TRAP. I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR YEARS TO GET THESE THINGS RESOLVED. I HAVE GOT TO RUN AROUND THE ENTIRE TIME.

DURING TIMES OF HEAVY RAIN OR WHEN DRIVING THROUGH A CAR WASH, WATER ENTERS VEHICLE INTERIOR. WATER CAN BE HEARD MOVING AROUND IN HEADLINER OF REAR WHILE VEHICLE BEING DRIVEN. WITH VEHICLE IN MOTION WATER CAN BE SEEN LEAKING OUT OF AIR BAG LABEL ON DRIVER SIDE PANEL BETWEEN WINDSHIELD AND DOOR. INSPECTED DRAIN TUBES FROM SUNROOF AND FOUND THEM TO BE COMPLETELY CLOGGED. UPON CLEARING DEBRIS CLOGGING THE TUBES AN EXESSIVE AMOUNT OF WATER CAME SHOOTING OUT AND TUBES DRAINED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR A NON STOP STREAM. APPROXIMATELY A WEEK OR SO LATER, STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING VEHICLE. TESTED BATTERY AND IT WAS FINE. TESTED ALTERNATOR AND STARTER, BOTH FINE. TWO WEEKS LATER CAR WOULDN'T START AGAIN. UPON AAA ARRIVING TO JUMP MY VEHICLE WE DISCOVERED THE ENTIRE BATTERY COMPARTMENT BEHIND PASSENGER SEAT WAS COMPLETELY FILLED AND BATTERY SUBMERGED IN WATER. FURTHER INSPECTION FOUND ENTIRE FLOOR BOARD SATURATED AND HEADLINER. MOLD WAS ALSO FOUND ON SEATS, SEAT BELTS, CARPET, AIR VENTS, SUN VISORS, AND DOOR PANELS.

I'M HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS DIAGNOSED BY TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS. I FOUND THAT GMC ANNOUNCED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS SPECIFIC REPAIR. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD GMC MIGHT NOT COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS "TOO NEW," SO I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CAR -- WITH THE PROBLEM -- UNTIL IT BECOMES SEVERE ENOUGH FOR A PROPER CODE TO COME UP ON DIAGNOSTICS. THIS MAKES ME FEEL VERY UNSAFE AND ANGRY. *TR

RECENTLY WE HAD A LOT OF RAIN AND I NOTICED IT ONCE BEFORE WHEN IT RAINS CONSTANTLY WATER ENTERED THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. HAD THE CAR CHECKED EVERYTHING SEEMED OKAY BUT ON 2 OCTOBER 2016 THE RAIN WAS COMING IN THE CARE THROUGH THE AIRBAGS AND WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF THE ENGINE KEPT RUNNING. THE FOLLOWING MORNING NO RAIN BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T START AND THE KEY GOT STUCK IN THE IGNITION. I FIND THIS TO BE COSTLY WHEN THE BATTERY NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD. JUST NEED TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVE BECAUSE PUTTING MY CAR IN A GARAGE ON RAINY DAYS IS NOT AN OPTION FOR ME.

1) A TRANSMISSION SWITCH PLATE ERROR - WARRANTY REPAIR (GMC NEVER PAID MY HOTEL/RENTAL CAR CLAIM. ON HWY WITH FAMILY. 2) TRANSMISSION ISSUE - PAID CLOSE TO $2000. I ASKED IF THIS WOULD LEAD TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE; THEY TOLD ME NO, CAR WOULD BE GOOD TO GO.THE PERSON WHO HELPED ME NO LONGER WORKS AT THE EL PASO DEALERSHIP WHEN I REPORTED HE TRIED TO OVERCHARGE ME. DRIVING ON HWY IN EL PASO WITH KIDS. 3) TRANSMISSION - PAID $4000+ FOR TRANSMISSION (GMC CLAIMS NOT RELATED TO THE PREVIOUS REPAIR); DISCUSSED WITH SERVICE DEPT IF WE SHOULD SPEND MORE MONEY ON THE CAR...THEY TOLD ME THE NEW TRANSMISSION WOULD WORK. (MILEAGE WAS 125K) THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE MOVING FROM EL PASO TO COLORADO SPRINGS...NO SAFE PLACE TO STOP. 4) 2 MOS LATER (NOW) - CLAIM THE TIMING BELT FAILED AND RH TIE RODS NEED REPAIR AND THEY SAY I DECLINED A REPAIR. I NEVER DISCUSSED THIS NEEDED REPAIR AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A $2600 REPAIR FOLLOWING THIS $4000 REPAIR...SO IF THEY MENTIONED IT, THEY NEVER SAID YOU HAVE $6600 WORTH OF WORK IN FRONT OF YOU. I ALREADY WAS CONCERNED ABOUT PAYING $4000 AFTER PAYING $2000. IT HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY. GMC IS MORE THAN AWARE OF THESE ISSUES WITH THEIR CARS AND THEY ARE LEAVING THEIR CUSTOMERS TO DEAL WITH IT. I HAVE A 2002 GMC ENVOY AND NEVER PAID ANYTHING CLOSE IN REPAIRS. THERE ARE SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. WE ARE ALSO A MILITARY FAMILY WHO TRAVELS QUITE A BIT. WE STARTED GETTING ERRORS ON ROAD TRIPS AND WE EVEN HAD THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY REPAIR WHILE WE WERE OUT OF TOWN, CAUSING US TO BE STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY IN THE WASHINGTON DC AREA WHEN OUR CAR JUST STOPPED. GMC IS SHOWING A TOTAL DISREGARD FOR ITS CUSTOMERS. THEY ARE AWARE OF THESE ISSUES AND THEY ARE NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEM. THEY ARE PUTTING THEIR CUSTOMERS IN PHYSICAL DANGER AND WREAKING HAVOC ON OUR FINANCES. THIS IS DISGUSTING AND UNACCEPTABLE.

MY 2008 GMC ACADIA LEAKS WHEN IT RAINS, THE FLOOR BOARDS FILL WITH WATER & WATER COMES THROUGH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS CAUSING THEM TO SHORTEN, BLINK. THE POWER WINDOWS GOT STUCK WOULDN'T GO DOWN ALMOST SMASHED MY KIDS HAND. THE WORSE PART DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 65-70 TRAFFIC SLOWS TO 40 AND YOUR VEHICLE DOESN'T GO ALMOST CAUSING THE WORSE ACCIDENT EVER. SEEMS THIS WAVE PLATE, SHIFT SOLENOID IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT ESPECIALLY SINCE I WAS ONLY A FEW MONTHS AFTER INITIAL PURCHASE AND THE TRUCK WAS RETURNED TO DEALER FOR SAME ISSUE SO THAT MEANS THE TRANSMISSION THEY REPLACED THE BAD ONE WITH WAS SO BAD OR REACHED ITS TIME OUT MILEAGE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL IF IT HAPPENED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE (PURCHASED USED) THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN WITH THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION AND ALL THE THREADS IN HAVE READ EVERY OWNER IS EXPERIENCING THIS, SOMEONE WILL HAVE BAD ACCIDENT POSSIBLY DEATH. DOES DEATH HAVE TO OCCUR FOR US TO GET BETTER RESOLVE AND MAKE GMC TAKE CARE OF THIS. OVER $5,000 WAS TOUGH TO CHRISTMAS TIME

I HAD A RECALL FOR MY DRIVER SIDE, SIDE IMPACT AIR BAG WIRE HARNESS. THE DEALER IN DULUTH MN (KOLAR) FIXED IT BUT LIGHT CAME ON FOR CHECK ENGINE. BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY ARE TELLING ME IT IS THE PPS SENSOR FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS, BUT NOT ON MY ACADIA. THEY WANT $600 PLUS LABOR TO REPLACE. TOTALING AROUND $950. HAD ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE POWER LIFT GATE, STATING THAT THE STRUTS COULD POSSIBLY FAIL PREMATURELY, CAUSING THE POWER LIFT GATE TO DROP. AS I WAS LOADING THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE, THE LIFT GATE SUDDENLY DROPPED ON MY HEAD. I BROUGHT IT TO KOLAR IN DULUTH MN AND TOLD THEM THAT THE STRUTS FROM THE RECALL WERE SHOT AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP AFTER A DAY OF THEM TELLING ME THAT THE RECALL HAD BEEN SUCCESSFUL. A WEEK AFTER I TOOK THE CAR HOME, THE LIFT GATE FELL ON MY WIFE. I COME TO FIND OUT THAT KOLAR NEVER REPLACED THE STRUTS, EVEN AFTER ME TALKING TO THE MECHANIC AND HIM ASSURING ME THAT THEY WOULD BE CHANGED OUT. IT IS NOW SITTING AT THE DEALER WAITING FOR BACK ORDERED STRUTS TO COME IN TO BE INSTALLED.

DEALERSHIP IS GOING TO CHARGE ME $275 DOLLAR TO UNBLOCK THE SUNROOF DRAINS WHAT A RIP OFF WHEN THIS IS THE THREE TIME I HAVE HAD THE DRAINS CLEANED AND THE SUNROOF STILL LEAK. THIS HAS TO BE A GMC PROBLEM THAT THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE. THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL UNDER THE GMC WARRANTY SO THANK GOD I DON'T HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THAT. THE ELECTRICAL MODULES SEEM TO BE OKAY FOR NOW BUT AT ANY GIVING TIME THE VEHICLE MAY STOP WORKING. GMC SHOULD OWN UP TO THESE PROBLEMS AND LOOK OUT FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS.

I MADE A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT FILED HERE UNDER NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10765088. THE LOCAL GARBER GMC DEALERSHIP SEALED THE SUNROOF AND CLEANED THE CLOGGED HOSES THAT DRAIN WATER FROM THE ROOF. THEY ALSO REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG FOR A TOTAL OF $600. THEY GAVE A GUARANTEE THAT THERE WOULD BE NO MORE LEAKS. ON NOVEMBER 18 THE CAR BEGAN LEAKING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AREA AND WATER POURED FROM THE ROOF ONTO THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT WHEN I MADE A FULL STOP. CURRENTLY AWAITING A RETURN CALL FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER OF GMC DEALER. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM. I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN FROM ONE COLLEGE CAMPUS LOCATION TO ANOTHER, IN OTHER WORDS MANY STOP AND GO AND SIDE STREETS AT 30 MPH OR LESS.

THIS VEHICLE LEAKS THROUGH THE SUNROOF AND IT GOES ALL AROUND THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. SINCE IT LEAKS INSIDE I'M AFRAID IT IS GOING TO REACH THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE. IT ALSO LEAKS AROUND WHERE THE BATTERY IS AT AN IT CAN CAUSE A SHORTAGE. WATER ALSO FALLS IN THROUGH ALL THE WAY TO THE CARPET WHERE THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE, I DON'T KNOW IF THE REAR ROWS ARE AFFECTED. THIS MAKES THE CAR HAVE A UGLY SMELL AND SOMETIMES I CAN'T EVEN BREATHE IN MY OWN CAR-- IT SMELLS EXTREMELY HUMID AND HORRIBLE. THE WATER THAT LEAKS IN ALSO LEAVES NASTY MARKS AROUND THE INTERIOR ROOF OF THE CAR THAT REALLY MAKES ME FEEL DEPRESSED AS SOON AS I OPEN MY DOOR AND SEE IT. THIS PROBLEM REALLY CONCERNS ME AND I'VE ALSO SEE MULTIPLE REVIEWS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I CAN'T DRIVE MY CAR IN THE RAIN OR TAKE IT THROUGH THE CAR WASH WITHOUT WATER LEAKING INSIDE, AND I HOPE ONE DAY IT DOESN'T CAUSE A FIRE IN THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.

IN LIGHT OF THE ALL THE SAFETY RECALLS BY GM FOR IGNITION SWITCH FAILURES, I BELIEVE THAT MY WIFE'S CRASH IN OUR 2008 GMC ACADIA WAS THE DIRECT CAUSE OF THE IGNITION SWITCH FAILING. DRIVING NORTH BOUND ON AZ ROUTE 89 IN THE AREA OF PRESCOTT, AZ CALLED THE GRANITE DELLS, THE CAR PROCEEDED STRAIGHT WHERE THE ROAD TURNS SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT. THE CAT PROCEEDED INTO AND PARTIALLY UP A GRANITE STONE OUT CROPPING ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR THEN WENT AIR BORNE LANDING UP SIDE DOWN ON ITS ROOF IN THE MIDDLE OF ROUTE 89. I BELIEVE THAT THIS ACCIDENT HAPPENED DUE TO IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE WHICH IN TURN SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, POWER STEERING, AND THE ENTIRE AIR BAG SYSTEM WHICH IN THIS ACCIDENT FAIL TO DEPLOY. MY WIFE WAS AIR LIFTED TO NORTHERN ARIZONA MEDICAL CENTER IN FLAGSTAFF, AZ FOR SEVER HEAD INJURE FROM WHICH SHE HAS RECOVERED. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE IGNITION FAILURES THAT HAVE SHOWN UP ON OTHER GM CARS IS ALSO A PROBLEM FOR THE 2008 GMC ACADIA AND POSSIBLY OTHER LIKE MODELS OF GM VEHICLES. IN MY OPINION IT HAS TO BE IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE THAT SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE, POWER STEERING AND AIR BAG SYSTEM CAUSING THIS ACCIDENT. *JS

AT 25 MPH WHILE TURNING THROUGH A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION THE ENGINE REVVED SHIFTED THROUGH WHAT FELT LIKE EVERY GEAR, THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION POWER; GOING FROM 25 MPH TO 10MPH. PARKED THE VEHICLE. RESTARTED TO FIND THAT ONLY FIRST AND SECOND GEARS WORKED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. DURING THE 200 PREVIOUS MILES OF CONCERN; I HAD HEARD A FAINT WHINE DURING ACCELERATION. THE FIRST TIME ANY TROUBLE OCCURRED THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED BEHIND A SCHOOL BUS LOADING AND WHILE I APPLIED THE BRAKE (STILL COMPLETELY STOPPED) THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. I IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL, NOT WANTING TO REAR END THE SCHOOL BUS. *TR

CAR HAS BEEN SHAKING AND KNOCKING WHEN I BRAKE. I REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT IT IN. I ACTUALLY BROUGHT IT IN TO FIX SOMETHING ELSE. THIS CAR HAS MANY ISSUES. THE MOST RECENT TIME I TOOK IT IN WAS ON SEPTEMBER 4TH. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME OVER $2000 JUST TO TRY TO FIND THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THEY ALREADY TOLD ME IT IS THE TRANSMISSION. THEY KNOW THAT GMC ACADIAS HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSIONS (CHECK GMC TRANSMISSIONS BOARD AT EDMUNDS.COM). ACTUALLY GMC SHOULD DO A RECALL OF THESE VEHICLES FOR THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUES AS MANY CARS ARE ALL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I ONLY HAVE 72000 MILES ON THIS CAR AND I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. SO IT IS AN ABSOLUTE SHAME THAT THIS CAR IS ALWAYS HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I THINK THE DEALERSHIP ALREADY KNEW THAT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN SEVERAL MONTHS AGO BUT THEY NEVER FIXED IT OR ADDRESSED IT THEN. I HAVE THE RECORDS TO PROVE IT. NOW THEY WANT TO SAY IT IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND WANT ME TO PAY $2000 JUST TO DO AN ASSESSMENT.

WHILE OUT SHOPPING WITH MY CHILDREN WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE TO DEPART FOR THE MALL, THE IGNITION TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION, I REMOVED THE KEY BUT THE CAR REMAINED ON. I THEN NOTICED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. SHORTLY AFTER, THE CAR BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY; I ASSUME AS IT WAS ATTEMPTING TO SHUT OFF. I INSERTED THE KEY, SHIFTED INTO TO REVERSE, PULLED OUT OF SPOT AND THEN BACK IN AGAIN. PROCEEDED TO TURN VEHICLE OFF AND AGAIN, KEY REMOVED BUT CAR STILL RUNNING. AGAIN THE VIOLENT SHAKING ALONG WITH LOUD NOISES BEGAN. AFRAID, I INSTRUCTED MY CHILDREN TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE. WE GOT A COMFORTABLE DISTANCE FROM THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUED TO WATCH. IT TOOK 25 MINUTES FOR THE CAR TO SHUT TOTALLY DOWN. WHEN I WENT BACK TO THE CAR, AS I OPENED THE DOOR, I NOTICED THE WARNING SOUND AS IF THE KEY WAS IN THE IGNITION AND ALSO ALTHOUGH THE ENTIRE DASH WAS OFF, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON, (IM NOT SURE HOW SINCE THE CAR WAS "OFF" AND NO KEY INSERTED). I DROVE THE CAR HOME AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE. THE CAR REMAINED ON, BEGAN SHAKING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO STAYED ON AFTER THE CAR WAS TOTALLY SHUT DOWN. VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE. I NOTICED VIA THE INTERNET THAT THIS WAS NOT A NEW ISSUE. I WONDER WHY GM WOULD NOT HAVE CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM WITH ITS VEHICLES BY NOW. I AM A SINGLE PARENT AND MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER SOMETIMES HAS TO RUN ERRANDS FOR ME IN THIS VEHICLE, I WOULD HATE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN WHEN IM NOT WITH HER.... ITS WAS FRIGHTENING ENOUGH FOR ME! *TR

GMC ACADIA 2008. WATER LEAKAGE FROM SUNROOF AND OR WINDSHIELD, ENTERING COLUMNS CONTAINING AIRBAGS (WATER WAS LEAKING OUT OF AIRBAGS ON COLUMNS) AND DOWN INTO DASH BOARD AND DOWN TO CARPETS. MOLD BUILDING UP IN ROOF LINER AND CARPETS. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS ON TEMPERATURE GAUGE. *TT

I OWN A 2008 GMC ACADIA. WATER LEEKS FROM THE ROOF OF THE CAR COMING IN THROUGH THE SUN ROOF AND THEN LEAKING THROUGH THE TOP COVER OF THE CEILING DOWN ONTO THE THIRD ROW AND DOWN THROUGH THE FRONT BEANS WHERE THE FUSE BOX IS. I HAVE CONTACTED GM MULTIPLE TIMES THEY GAVE ME A REFERENCE # OF 71-941161425 THEY CONTINUE TO SAY THAT MY TRUCK DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE RECALLED THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR FOR THE EXACT SAME REASONS. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL OF SHORTING OUT THE FUSE BOX WHILE DRIVING MAKING THIS TRUCK UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE POTENTIAL OF MOLD BUILD UP. I HAVE A 15 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER THAT IS SUPPOSED TO RIDE IN THIS AND THE LAST THING I NEED IS WATER FROM THE CEILING DRIPPING ON HERE THAT HAS GONE THROUGH THE MOLD THAT HAS BUILT UP INBETWEEN THE ROOF AND THE CEILING COVER. GMC REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS STATING THAT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. IF THIS FUSE BOX SHORTS OUT WHILE WE ARE DRIVING AND CAUSES AN ACCIDENT WHERE BODILY HARM IS DONE GMC IS DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. I HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR RECENTLY THINKING IT WOULD BE SAFE AND I WAS WRONG. *TR

I NOTICED THAT WHEN DRIVING ON AN EXPRESSWAY AND WOULD ATTEMPT TO PASS A SLOWER MOVING VEHICLE, AS I WOULD MOVE INTO THE PASSING LANE AND ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR WOULD HESITATE FOR A FEW SECONDS, LOSE SPEED, THEN SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFT AND ACCELERATE AT AN UNEXPECTED RATE. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE CAR WOULD UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, THEY RESPONDED THAT THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG, BUT THE WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING WAS CHARACTERISTIC OF THE 6-SPEED TRANSMISSION ON THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED AND I FOUND IT DANGEROUS. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE AND THE DEALER'S REMEDY WAS TO "RESET THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER." DURING THIS TIME, I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE "SERVICE STABILITRAC AND TRACTION CONTROL" WARNING WOULD COME ON. ONSTAR RECOMMENDED I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE TO RESET THE SYSTEM. I FOUND THIS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN I FIRST USED THE CAR IN THE MORNINGS TO GO TO WORK. AGAIN, THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND THE COMPUTERS WERE SHOWING NO CODES -- THEY ALSO STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I GOT THE CAR BACK FROM THE DEALER AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN - AT 7:00 AM. I CALLED ONSTAR AND THEY GAVE ME TWO CODES. I BOUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND GAVE HIM THE CODES. IT NOW SEEMS THAT THERE WERE TWO DEFECTIVE SENSORS CONTROLLING THE STABILITRAC / TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM AND HOW THEY COMMUNICATE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD THAT GM IS CHANGING MANUFACTURERS ON THE SENSORS. I HAVE NOT HAD USE OF THE CAR SINCE THE BEGINNING OF JUNE AND AM STILL WAITING FOR GM TO PRODUCE THESE PARTS. IN THE MEANTIME, UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION, DECELERATION, AND GEAR SHIFTING WAS OCCURRING UNDER ALL DRIVING SITUATIONS CAUSING -- IN MY MIND -- A DANGER TO MYSELF, MY PASSENGERS, AND OTHERS. THE DEALER HAS HAD THE CAR ON FIVE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS SINCE JUNE 8. THIS LAST SERVICE THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE JULY 20. *TR
