PROBLEMED STARTED IN AUGUST 2012 AFTER WE PURCHASED AND HER IT IS JULY 2015. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE GAS PEDDLE DID GET STUCK ONE TIME WHEN THE VEHICLE. WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT. NOW MY PARKING BREAK HAS A LEAK AND IS ALWAYS SAYING THAT THE BREAK IS ON.

UPON ENTERING THE HIGHWAY THE 2007 ACADIA WOULD NOT SHIFT EITHER INTO OR OUT OF 3RD GEAR, I'M NOT SURE. I COULD NOT TELL WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND WHEN I DETERMINED THIS WAS NOT GOING TO CORRECT ITSELF I EXITED THE HIGHWAY. 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. THIS CLEARLY IS A FAULTY PART AS IT IS OCCURRING ON MANY VERSIONS OF THIS VEHICLE AND HAS BEEN UPGRADED. I WAS LUCKY IN THAT IT WAS ONLY ME IN THE AUTO AND NOT THE ENTIRE FAMILY WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

I BOUGHT A NEW GMC ACADIA IN 2007. JANUARY 8, 2008 GMC DID A SOFTWARE UPGRADE TO MY TRANSMISSION. AT THAT POINT MY MILEAGE DROPPED ABOUT 6 MILES PER GALLON AND DID NOT SHIFT AS NICE AS ORIGINAL. IN LATE SUMMER OF 2014 I NOTICE THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS NOT RIGHT. ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2014 I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $3,999 AT ONLY 123,228 MILES. THIS CAR WAS BUILT AND ADVERTISED TO PULL BOATS AND CAMPERS. I HAVE NOT PULLED ANYTHING EVER WITH THE CAR. IN MARCH OF 2015 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC THAT THEY WOULD REIMBURSE 2007 GMC ACADIA OWNERS IF THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR MUST BE UNDER 10 YEARS OLD AND UNDER 120,000 MILES. MY CAR WAS UNDER 10 YEARS OLD, BUT OVER ON MILEAGE BY 3,228 MILES. GMC WOULD NOT COVER ANY OF IT. IT IS PRETTY POOR WHEN A CAR COMPANY CAN NOT BUILD A $40,000 CAR WITH A TRANSMISSION THAT WOULD LAST. *TR

MAJOR SHUTTERING IN TRANSMISSION HARSH SHIFTING MAKING HARD TO ACCELERATE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT OVER 65 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGES, CAUSING CAR TO COAST TO A STOP. REDUCED ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION PERFORMANCE.

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

AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE TO PHIL MOORE BUICK GMC ON 10/16/2014 AND PAYING $1341.10 FOR REPAIRS AFTER A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT INDICATOR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN ON 10/20/2014 AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SLOW FROM 60 MILES PER HOUR TO 20 MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP ON10/21/2015, I WAS TOLD THERE WERE ADDITIONAL REPAIRS NEEDED ON THE ENGINE AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $2789.18. BECAUSE REPAIRS HAD JUST BEEN COMPLETED ON THE SAME AREA 5 DAYS EARLIER, I CALLED THE GM CORPORATION AND I WAS INFORMED THAT REPAIRS TO THE ENGINE SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER A RECALL AND THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE NOTICED THE RECALL AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. *TR

I EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY ABOUT 25 MPH. I LOST POWER STEERING WHILE TURNING AND ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR. I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM GM AND I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REQUIRED MY VIN NUMBER TO CHECK AND MAKE SURE MY CAR WAS COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND ASSURED ME THAT IT WAS. I THEN TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND AFTER THEY HAD IT FOR 4 HOURS, I RECEIVED A CALL STATING THEY WON'T COVER IT BECAUSE I EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE BY 10,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP THEN ATTEMPTED TO MAKE ME PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP. I HAVE OWNED MY CAR FOR 2 YEARS AND THEY ARE JUST NOW NOTIFYING ME ABOUT THE RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP WAS ONLY WILLING TO GIVE ME A 5% DISCOUNT OFF OF $1084. I HAVE EXPRESSED MY FEELING ON THIS AND EXPLAINED THAT I JUST RECEIVED THE LETTER AND THAT THE CAR IS 8 YEARS OLD, WHY DID IT TAKE THEM SO LONG TO CONTACT THE CUSTOMERS. THEY REALLY EXPECT A 8 YEAR OLD CAR TO HAVE LESS THEN THE 150,000 MILE LIMIT THEY SET. I ALSO EXPRESSED THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU LOSE ALL POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN HIGHWAY, CAR DISPLAYS MESSAGE "SERVICE STABILITRACK ENGINE POWER REDUCED". CAR SLOWS DOWN AND SHAKES. TURNING CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN TURNING BACK ON CLEARS ISSUE, HOWEVER, HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES DAILY. VERY DANGEROUS WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAYS OR FREEWAYS. *JS

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE ACADIA WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. *TR

TRANSMISSION WAVE PLATE WENT OUT. VEHICLE CAME TO SUDDEN STOP IN MIDDLE OF BUSY INTERSECTION AND THEN WOULD NOT MOVE. MY WIFE ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED AND WAS STRANDED. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THESE CARS AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ALONG A SPEEDY FREEWAY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES, CHECK GAUGES, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITITRAK, ENGINE POWER REDUCED. MY VEHICLE DROPPED FROM 70 MILES PER HOUR TO 45 MILES PER HOUR IN LESS THAN TEN SECONDS. WHEN STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE BEFORE I TURNED OFF HE CAR. TURNING OFF THE CAR RESETS THE PROBLEM, BUT IT CAME BACK FOUR MORE TIMES. *TR

THE VEHICLE START SOMKEING

I WAS DRIVING MY GMC ACADIA ALL OF A SUDDEN ONE OF THE HEADLIGHTS JUST TURNED OFF, THEN A FEW MINUTES AFTER SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE OTHER HEADLIGHT. I HAVE READ THAT IT HAS HAPPEN TO A FEW AND GOING TO SOME ELECTRIC ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AND THEN ACCELERATING THE TRANSMISSION WILL VIOLENTLY SLIP WHILE SHIFTING INTO A LOWER GEAR. *TR

OUR 2007 GMC ACADIA BEGAN SLIPPING AND STUTTER STEPPING IN REVERSE. IF ON A HILL IT WAS VERY NOTICEABLE AND FELT LIKE YOU WERE SLIPPING ON ICE BEFORE REVERSE GEAR WOULD ENGAGE. THEN ON SLOW ACCELERATION FORM A TRAFFIC LIGHT SLIPPAGE WOULD OCCUR AND A ROUGH CHANGE IN THE GEAR EXCHANGE FOR NORMAL TRAFFIC SPEED. HAD IT DIAGNOSED AT A REPUTABLE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A WARPED WAVE PLATE AND A NEW OR REBUILT TRANSMISSION WAS REQUIRED, THE REPAIR COST WITH WARRANTY WOULD BE 4,225.00. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED THE ACADIA. THEY ALSO DIAGNOSED IT AS A DEFECTIVE WAVE PLATE, RECOMMENDING A NEW TRANSMISSION OR AT LEAST TO REBUILD IT. NEW TRANSMISSION TO COST 5,890.00 THE WAVE PLATE ON THE 2007 ACADIA'SHAVE CAUSED A GREAT MANY PROBLEMS FOR OTHER OWNERS AND ITS REPORTED THEY WERE NOT PROPERLY HEAT TREATED WHEN MANUFACTURED. THEY BREAK APART AFTER JUST SO MANY ENGAGES CAUSED WHEN SHIFTING AND ALMOST ALWAYS SHORTLY AFTER THE 50,000 MILE WARRANTY. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GM REQUESTING ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS DUE TO A FAULTY PART THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF. THEY SAID THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME, BUT NEVER DID. WE REPAIRED IT AT THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP COSTING 4,225.23 CENTS WITH A 5 YEAR 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. *TR

10/27/2014 - 2007 GMC ACADIA TRANSMISSION SLIPS CONTINUALLY UNTIL IT HAD A COMPLETE FAILURE AT 111,000. I CALLED GM AND OPENED CLAIM. GOOGLE ACADIA TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, WHY HAS THIS TRANSMISSION NOT BEEN RECALLED? GM FAILED TO HARDEN THESE WAVE PLATES IN THE 2007 & 2008 GMC ACADIA . THERE ARE DOCUMENTED FAILURES OUT THERE AS SOON AS 25,000 MILES. THIS TRANSMISSION IS SUCH A PIECE OF JUNK. THE LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP WORKS ON THIS TRANSMISSION MORE THAN ANY OTHER. PLEASE HELP US THE BILL FOR TRANSMITTION TO BE FIXED IS ALMOST $4500

2007 GMC ACADIA TRANSMISSION SLIPS CONTINUALLY UNTIL IT HAD A COMPLETE FAILURE AT 127,000 NEEDING 2,3,5 AND REVERSE WAVE PLATES. GOOGLE ACADIA TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, WHY HAS THIS TRANSMISSION NOT BEEN RECALLED? GM FAILED TO HARDEN THESE WAVE PLATES IN THE 2007 & 2008 GMC ACADIA ALONG WITH THE CLONE CARS IN THE GM LINE UP. THERE ARE DOCUMENTED FAILURES OUT THERE AS SOON AS 25,000 MILES. THIS TRANSMISSION IS SUCH A PIECE OF JUNK. THE LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP WORKS ON THIS TRANSMISSION MORE THAN ANY OTHER. DID THE NHTSA STOP HOLDING GM ACCOUNTABLE FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE AFTER THE BAILOUT? I GUESS THE ONLY RECOURSE IS TO TAKE MATTERS INTO OUR OWN HANDS LIKE MINI COOPER DRIVERS AND BECOME PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. I ONLY HAVE 70K MILES ON THE CAR AND WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. IT COST ME SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS TO GET IT FIXED! I AM THANKFUL THAT WHEN IT HAPPENED, MY HUSBAND WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT AND NOT GOING DOWN A FREEWAY WITH OUR CHILDREN IN THE CAR. AS I INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE WITH THE 2007 ACADIA'S I'M FINDING THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS A HUGE ISSUE! PLEASE GMC FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILURE. WE WERE DRIVING OUT OF TOWN ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH AND ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED INDICATING THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DISENGAGED. COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF THE IMPENDING FAILURE OTHER THAN SOME TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE EARLIER IN THE TRIP. TRANSMISSION DID NOT WORK AT ALL IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. HAD TO BE TOWED TO AN OUT OF TOWN SHOP AND RENT A CAR TO GET BACK HOME. REPAIR SHOP STATED THAT TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (APPROX. $4,500) AND THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. SHOCKING THAT IT FAILED AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. WE WERE ADVISE BY OUR LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TO CONTACT GM BUT THEY HAVE NOT CONTACTED US BACK. WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GET THE REPAIRS DONE SO WE HAVE THE VEHICLE BACK. I JUST WANTED TO INCLUDE OUR INCIDENT ALONG WITH THE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS. WE WILL WARN OTHER ACADIA OWNERS WHO WE KNOW OF THE PROBLEM (ACADIAS ARE COMMON WHERE WE LIVE) AND THE MANY OTHER PROBLEMS THAT IT HAS (BASED ON THE NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS AND SERVICE BULLETINS). *TR

THE 2007 GMC ACADIA AND OTHER VEHICLES BUILT ON THE LAMBDA PLATFORM ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THESE VEHICLES INTERMITTENTLY LOOSE POWER STEERING DURING THE RAIN. GMC IS AWARE OF THIS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS CREATED A SERVICE BULLETIN, BUT THE ALLEGED REPAIR DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND CONTINUES TO ALLOW THESE DANGEROUS VEHICLES TO BE ON THE ROAD. GM HAS REFUSED TO RECALL THE EFFECTED VEHICLES. I HAVE REPEATEDLY REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE DEALER, GM EXECUTIVES, GM ENGINEERS AND THE GM ENGINEERS HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS DANGEROUS PRODUCT DEFECT, BUT REFUSED TO ACT. *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ON LABOR DAY. SUDDENLY MY GMC ACADIA TRANSMISSION STARTS SLIPPING AND I AM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. MY VEHICLE STARTS SLOWING DOWN AND I HAVE NO CONTROL OF SPEED. LUCKY FOR ME AND MY SON I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT CREATING AN ACCIDENT. I LOOK ONLINE TO FIND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR MANY CARS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION.

THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED OR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT NEEDS TO BE OPENED. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 88,000 MILES ON IT AND IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE. *TR

I CONTINUALLY HAVE A MESSAGE IN MY DISPLAY TO SERVICE AIRBAGS; I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN AT LEAST 3 DIFFERENT TIMES AND PAID EACH TIME FOR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO DETERMINE WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND THE MESSAGE CONTINUES TO DISPLAY. I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE OF ALL THE ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE AIRBAGS.

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

SEAT BELT SENSOR WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AT START-UP. GOES OFF AND ON WHEN MOVING. THE PATTERNS ARE UNPREDICTABLE. SOMETIMES IT CONSISTENTLY TURNS ON AND OFF. OTHER TIMES IT MAY NOT DISPLAY AT ALL.

I OWN A 2007 ACADIA I'VE HAD THIS FOR THE PAST 3 1/2 YEARS WHEN I BOUGHT IT THE DEALER HAD TO PUT STRUTS IN THE FRONT BECAUSE THEY WERE BAD. SINCE THEN IT STARTED TO SWAY ALL OVER THE ROAD, YOU ACTUALLY GET SICK IN THE BACK SEAT, I'VE BROUGHT IT BACK NUMEROUS TIMES TO GET RECALLS DONE AND HAVE RECIEVED QUOTES TO REPLACE AND TRY PARTS TO SEE IF IT WILL STOP IT FROM SWAYING COSTING ALMOST $4000 AND IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. I'VE RECENTLY BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUES AND NOW THEY'RE REPLACING THE STRUTS FOR THE 4TH TIME AND TELLING ME I NEED ANOTHER $4000 WORTH OF WORK DONE TO INCLUDE SWAY BAR, CONTROL ARMS, WELL PRETTY MUCH THE WHOLE STABILIZATION AND SUSPENSION SYSTEM. WHICH I'M GUESSING SHOULD OF BEEN DONE 3 YEARS AGO WHEN THIS ALL STARTED. HOW DO I GET THE DEALER TO GO GOOD ON THIS. *TR
