2007 GMC Acadia complaints

I WANNA KNOW WHY 3 WEEKS AGO ALL THE SOUND IN MY VECH STOPPED WORKING THE RADIO COMES ON SHOWS U WHAT SONG IS PLAYING AND NOTHING COMES OUT THEY SAY THE RADIO IS BAD SO I GOGGLED IT AND A TONNNNNN OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM DON'T U THINK THERE HAS TO BE A DEFECT AND WHY WAS IT NEVER RECALLED ? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED. ALSO, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT HE HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND RECONNECTED IT IN ORDER TO RESET THE SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. I'VE ALSO TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN MANY TIMES FOR NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN. EVENTUALLY, I LOSE MY POWER STEERING. EVERYTIME, THEY TELL ME THERE IS A LEAK OR STEERING GEAR PROBLEM AND IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED BUT IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. IM TAKING IT IN FOR THE 4TH OR 5TH TIME NOW TO REPAIR THE SQUEAK IN THE STEERING. THIS VEHICLE IS 5 YEARS OLD AND ITS BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE THAN ANY OTHER CAR THAT I HAVE OWNED. *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

BASICALLY BOTTOM LINE IS THIS IS THE 4TH MAJOR THING I'VE HAD MY ACADIA IN THE SHOP FOR. THIS REPAIR OF A REBUILT TRANSMISSION IS COSTING ME 3500.00 OUT OF MY POCKET. SUPPOSEDLY THE GM CUSTOMER REP DOES NOT THINK THERE IS ANYTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME BECAUSE MY CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD AND 131000 MILES.. THAT IS JUST BS!!!!! I SPENT 40,000.00 ON THIS CAR TO DRIVE IT LONGER THAN THIS AND FOR ALL THE THINGS TO START NICKEL AND DIMMING ME IS RIDICULOUS. THE MECHANIC AT THE GM CERTIFIED GARAGE TOLD ME THAT GM USED A PRT IN THE TRANSMISSION ON THE 07-10 MODELS OF THE ACADIA THAT COST THEM 1.69 AND THAT THEY KNOW THEY SHOULD HAVE USED A PART THAT COST THEM 39.00, SO THIS IS THE PART THAT IS BREAKING IN THE TRANSMISSIONS AND MAKING THEM JUNK AND HAVING TO BE REBUILT OR NEW ONES PUT IT.. GM DIDN'T WANT TO RECALL THE 07-10 MODELS BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE AFFECTED MILLIONS OF CARS, SO THEY ARE JUST LETTING THE OWNERS SUFFER FOR THEIR STUPIDITY AND LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY. MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT AFTER THE MONEY IS THE FACT THE MY CHILD WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED, HE WAS PANICKED AS HE COULD NOT GO OVER 30MPH ON A VERY BUSY ROAD AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHUT DOWN ON HIM!! HE IS VERY LUCKY THE VEHICLE MADE IT TO A SAFE PLACE AND HE WAS NOT REAR ENDED AS THE CAR JUST STOPPED ON HIM!!! REALLY GM WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO RECALL THESE MODELS AND MAKE IT RIGHT FOR ALL OF US THAT HAVE TO ENCOUNTER SUCH A HIGH EXPENSE?? I REALLY CAN NOT AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE OR THE $3500.00 TO REPAIR THIS ONE,

THE TRANSMISSION WAVE PLATE FAILS CAUSING HIGHLY ERRATIC SHIFTING AND ABRUPT VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL. RAPID DECELERATION WHILE UNDERWAY IN TRAFFIC. VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

MY TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED AT 131,000 MILES AND A COST OF OVER $3400.00 OUT OF MY POCKET. WELL HERE I AM AGAIN... THIS IS THE THIRD MAJOR THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY 2007 ACADIA.. I HAD TO HAVE ALL NEW TIMING CHAINS PUT ON 103,000 MILES, HAD TO HAVE MY SERVICE TIRE SENSOR FIXED AT 112,000 MILES, I HAVE DONE ALL THE RE-CALLS FOR THE SUN-ROOF LEAK, THE HEATED WINDSHIELD FLUID, AND WHATEVER ELSE HS BEEN RE-CALLED ON THIS VEHICLE!!! MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING MY CAR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR JUST STOPPED AND THEN HE COULD ONLY GET IT TO GO 30 MPH. HE IS LUCKY HE WAS NOT REAR ENDED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, IT WILL NOT GO OVER 30 MPH AND REVERSE. I SPOKE WITH THE HEAD MECHANIC AT THE GM GARAGE THAT IS PUTTING A NEW TRANSMISSION IN MY ACADIA AT THE COST OF 3400.00 TO ME, AND HE TOLD ME THAT ALL THE 2007-2010 ACADIA'S HAVE A PART IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT COST GM $1.69 INSTEAD OF USING THE PART THEY SHOULD HAVE USED THAT WOULD HAVE COST THEM $39.00. HE SAID GM KNOW THEY SHOULD HAVE RECALLED ALL THE 2070-2010 ACADIA'S BUT CHOSE NOT TOO BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MILLIONS OF VEHICLES INVOLVED, SO INSTEAD "THANK YOU GM" FOR SCREWING ALL OF US AND NOW WE HAVE TO PAY FOR YOUR MISTAKE AND CUT BACKS.... *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR FROM 2ND GEAR. HAS DONE THIS A LOT OF TIMES FOR NO REASON AT ALL. BECAME A HAZARD WHEN WE WERE ACCELERATING ONTO A FREEWAY AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR PROPERLY. *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

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, I HAD TO BRAKE QUICKLY BECAUSE OF ACCIDENT AHEAD. AT THIS TIME, THE STABILITRAK SERVICE MESSAGE AND BRAKE MESSAGE STARTED ALTERNATELY FLASHING ON DIC. 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. THE VEHICLE OPERATED FINE. I PARKED THE CAR AGAIN FOR ABOUT ONE HOUR, WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AFTER ABOUT A MILE THE NEXT DAY THE SAME EPISODE. NOW I'M INTO THE 2ND WEEK OF THE BRAKE AND S

THE VEHICLE STARTED OVER REVVING WHILE CHANGING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR, SLOWING DOWN IN BUSY TRAFFIC. THERE WERE MANY IN TRAFFIC WHO WERE BLOWING THEIR HORNS AND SWERVING TO AVOID MY VEHICLE, WHICH AT THE TIME CONTAINED MY WIFE AND THREE SMALL CHILDREN. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO INTO ANY GEAR. FORTUNATELY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED, I WAS ON A PRIVATE ROAD WITH MINIMAL TRAFFIC. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STARTED SKIPPING/CATCHING WHILE ACCELERATING AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE STARTED TO CREEP UP. I ENTERED A LEFT TURN LANE IN ORDER TO PULL OVER. WHEN TRAFFIC CLEARED I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE TO MAKE IT INTO THE PARKING LOT. WARNING BELLS STARTED GOING OFF "SHUT OFF ENGINE" "SHUT OFF A/C" "ENGING OVERHEAT" AND THE TRUCK SHUT OFF. I HAD PICKED UP ENOUGH MOMENTUM AS I HAD BEGUN MY TURN BUT IT WAS STILL LITERALLY A COAST INTO THE PARKING LOT, NARROWLY AVOIDING A T-BONE SITUATION WITH AN ONCOMING MINI VAN. IT WAS SO CLOSE THE MINI-VAN LAID ON THE HORN AND SLAMMED ON HER BRAKES. I COASTED INTO THE PARKING LOT BUT WAS UNABLE TO MAKE IT INTO A SPOT. I TOOK OUT MY KEYS AND OPENED MY DOOR TO GET OUT. THE ALARMS CONTINUED EVEN WITHOUT KEYS IN IT. THERE WAS ANTIFREEZE POURING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO TURN ON AND OFF THE CAR NO LESS THAN THREE TIMES TO STOP THE WARNING BELLS. I CALLED A LOCAL SHOP AND HAD IT TOWED. THEY REPLACED THE WATER PUMP AND A/C BELT. GOT MY VEHICLE BACK TWO DAYS LATER. DROVE TO WORK IN THE MORNING WITH NO ISSUES, HOWEVER COMING HOME IT STARTED TO CATCH/SKIP AGAIN. (I LIVE ONLY 5 MILES AWAY FROM WORK). I HAD MY HUSBAND DRIVE IT BACK UP TO THE SHOP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. WHEN HE GOT INTO IT HE WAS UNABLE TO REVERSE IT; REVERSE JUST SIMPLY STOPPED WORKING. HE HAD TO TURN AROUND IN OUR YARD - ON THE WAY TO THE SHOP (6 MILES AWAY) THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO OVER 30 MPH AND AGAIN SHUT OFF ON HIM WHILE TRYING TO TURN INTO THE AUTO SH

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

DRIVING IN MODERATE RAIN AROUND A CORNER AT APPROXIMATELY 25MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP FOR 1-2 SECONDS ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH WITH MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE 2 YEARS AGO. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THE PUT A NEW PIECE INSIDE THE WHEEL WELL BUT IT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. IT RECENTLY HAPPENED TO MY WIFE IN THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH ALMOST CAUSED A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CHILDREN WERE IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. *TR

WE PURCHASED A USED 07 GMC ACADIA FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEPT GOING ON AND OFF BY ITSELF. I ASKED THE DEALER TO CHECK THE RECALL LIST FOR OUR VEHICLE, HOWEVER THEY STATED ALL THE RECALLS HAD BEEN DONE. WE HAD TO PAY $500.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2007 GMC ACADIA IN APRIL 2011 USED FROM CARMAX. ON MAY 6, 2011, I HAD IN BRING IT IN BECAUSE I NOTICED WATER AND LOUD WIND NOISE. THEY HAD TOLD ME THAT THE GASKET SEAL ON THE SUNROOF HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE THE WATER WAS LEAKING FROM INTO THE HEADLINER AND INTO MY CAR. AFTER THAT I STILL HAD THE SAME ISSUES BUT HAD NO TIME TO BRING IT TO GET FIXED. THE WATER HAS LEAKED FROM THE MOONROOF AREA, FROM THE READING LIGHT ON THE THIRD ROW, FROM FRONT DIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR AIRBAGS, FROM THE PASSENGER SEATBELT AREA, AND FROM THE HEADLINER ABOVE THE MIDDLE ROW. ON JULY 7, 2012 THE LEAKING HAPPENED AGAIN SO I CALLED GM. THEY SAID THAT THE RECALL OR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION DRAIN TUBE EXTENDERS WERE DONE ON 2-9-09 AT 26,139 MILES AND THAT THE TUBES MAY BE CLOGGED. I WAS TOLD I SHOULD TAKE IT IN TO A GMC DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I TOOK IT IN ON JULY 12, 2012 AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE SUNROOF GASKET THAT NEEDED TO BE CHANGED AND THAT THE TUBES WERE NOT CLOGGED. THEY COULD SEE WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM THE SEAL. SO IT COST ME 240.00 TO HAVE THAT FIXED AND GM SAID THEY WOULD NOT HELP PAY BECAUSE THE ISSUE HAD BEEN RESOLVED WITH THE DRAIN TUBE EXTENDERS. I GOT MY VEHICLE BACK ON JULY 16, 2012 THE GM DISTRICT SPECIALIST ASKED ME IF I WAS SATISFIED WITH THE WORK AND I TOLD HIM I WAS NOT SURE BECAUSE IT HAD NOT RAINED AGAIN YET. WELL, ON JULY 19, 2012 IT RAIN AND THE 240.00 I PAID TO THE HAVE PROBLEM FIXED BY REPLACING THE SUNROOF GASKET SEAL STIL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 25 MPH WHEN ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STARTED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND STATED IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE SHOWING 27 CODES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,452.

POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING FOR 5 TO 10 SECONDS AFTER MAKING A TURN THROUGH WATER OFTEN NO MORE THAN A FEW INCHES IN DEPTH. USUALLY OCCURS DURING OR AFTER RAIN, WHEN WATER HAS ACCUMULATED AT INTERSECTION CORNERS OR RESIDENT/BUSINESS ENTRANCES. WHEN THIS OCCURS, IT BECOMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE DIRECTION THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING IN AND HAS ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT TWICE SO FAR. *TR

03/01/2008 - 16,000 I WASN'T ABLE TO STEER, POWER STEERING IS COMPLETELY OUT ON THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD 12/01/2008 - 32,000 - MISFIRE IN THE 2 ENGINE CYLINDERS AND WAS MAKING LOT OF NOISE, DEALER TOOK 5 WEEKS TO FIX THE PROBLEM 06/01/2009 - 41,000 ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE MAKING NOISE AT START, HAD TO MAKE MULTIPLE TRIPS TO THE DEALER 06/01/2011 - 66,000 WATER PUMP LEAKING 03/01/2012 - 72,000 BRAKE CONTROL FAILURE 06/29/2012 - 76,000 BROKEN WAVE PLATES, EVAPORATER SOLENOID, AND TRANSMISSION FAILURE MOST OF THESE ISSUES ARE VERY COMMON IN THIS MODEL, GMC NEED TO RECALL AND FIX ONCE FOR ALL RATHER THAN WAITING ON THE ISSUE TO HAPPEN ON EACH VEHICLE. *JS

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN RAINY WEATHER I WAS UNABLE TO STEER MY CAR AND TURN IT BECAUSE WATER HAD GOTTEN ON THE BELTS AND BELTS WERE SLIPPING AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING TO CONTROL THE CAR. I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE BOTH FRONT INNER WHEEL WELL FRONT COVERS REPLACED. THIS WOULD ELIMINATE WATER GETTING ON THE PULLEYS AND ELIMINATE THE SLIPPAGE OF THE BELTS THAT RUN THE POWER STEERING. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN OUT TO CORRECT THIS CONDITION. I HAD TO PAY FOR THIS WORK THAT WAS DONE WHICH I FELT SHOULD BE COVERED BY GMC AS I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I ALMOST HIT TWO OTHER VEHICLES AS A RESULT OF MY NOT BEING ABLE TO STEER MY CAR AND THAT WAS QUITE SCARY. I WOULD NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE WITH THIS MODEL CAR. *TR

IN THE RAIN OR DURING WET ROAD CONDITIONS THE SERPENTINE BELT GETS WET DUE TO IT'S LOCATION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE BELT STARTS TO SLIP CAUSING AN INTERMITTENT SQUEALING AND INTERMITTENT LOSE OF STEERING CONTROL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE POWER STEERING HAD SUDDENLY STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED AND HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 100,000.

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE WASHER FLUID LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE TAKEN IT FOR REPAIR THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT 8 MONTHS AFTER THE VEHICLE THREE MONTHS LATER AT THIS PRESENT TIME. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR NOT EVEN A YEAR, THE TRANSMISSION HAS GIVEN OUT BEYOND REPAIR. I HAVE GOTTEN SEVERAL DIFFERENT PEOPLE TO LOOK AT IT, ITS BEYOND REPAIR (REBUILD). I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS I REALLY HOPE THIS HELPS, I DON'T THINK THE CUSTOMERS SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS CONSTANT PROBLEM. *TR

MY FAMILY OF 6 WAS LEAVING SW FLORIDA THIS MORNING TO DRIVE BACK TO OHIO. ABOUT AN HOUR INTO OUR TRIP I BEGAN TO PASS A SEMI WHEN THE TRANSMISSION ON MY '07 GMC ACADIA LOCKED UP. THE TACH WAS PEGGED AT 4500 BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE ACCELERATOR. IM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT OTHER DRIVERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE DUE TO THE LACK OF ANY ACCELERATION. I CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER, BUT TRYING TO STEER A DYING CAR THROUGH 4 LANES OF 70MPH TRAFFIC WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY ANSWERING MY WIFE AND 4 KIDS QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING WAS QUITE SCARY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SOON. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

POWER STEERING WENT OUT COMPLETELY WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING MY CHILD TO SCHOOL. LUCKILY I WAS NOT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPEND TO ME TWICE ALREADY FOR THIS VEHICLE. BOTH POWER STEERING AND RACK AND PINION HAVE GONE OUT WHILE DRIVING AND HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE BY GMC IN THE PAST 9 MONTHS! *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

THERE HAS BEEN A WHINE IN MY STEERING COLUMN ON MY 2007 GMC ACADIA . YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING ALONG A 2 LANE ROAD GOING INTO A SHARP CURVE. I WAS TURNING MY STEERING COLUMN TO THE RIGHT TOWARDS THE CURVE, BUT THE STEERING COLUMN MADE A LOUD NOISE AND WOULD NOT RESPOND ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HIT HEAD ON INTO AN INCOMING CAR ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR FINALLY DID RESPOND AND A WRECK AVOIDED, BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT. THERE ARE NUMEROUS FORUMS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR THING HAPPENING TO OTHER GMC ACADIAS AS WELL. THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER THEIR 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. I TOOK MY CAR TO A AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND THEY INDICATED THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS INDEED LEAKING AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THESE "INCIDENTS" NEED TO BE ADDRESSED AND A RECALL PUT IN PLACE IMMEDIATELY ON THE ACADIA. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT WANTED TO TAKE CARE OF ANYTHING UNDER WARRANTY UNLESS MY VIN MATCHED THE ONE ON A PARTICULAR RECALL EVEN WHEN I WAS HAVING THE EXACT PROBLEMS IN THE RECALL. *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

WOW WHAT A SHOCK ANOTHER GCM ACADIA WITH STEERING PROBLEMS! I WAS TURNING A FEW DAYS AGO AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND IT ACTUALLY FELT LIKE I LOST A LOT OF POWER WHEN THIS HAPPENED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL. I NEARLY CRASHED INTO ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE OF THIS. IT ISNT A CONSTANT PROBLEM BUT IT OCCURS PROBABLY 75% OF THE TIMES I TURN AND MY TURNS ARE SUPER WIDE NOW. I CANNOT PARK ON THE FIRST TRY WHICH IS RIDICULOUS IT TAKES ME NOW 3 OR 4 TRIES TO PARK IN A SPACE AT WORK. I FEEL LIKE IM DRIVING MY DADS 1965 CHEVY THAT DIDNT COME WITH POWER STEERING. WHY HASNT THIS BEEN RECALLED?? ARE YOU WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BECAUSE THEY COULDNT TURN FAST ENOUGH??? THATS NEGLIGENCE!! I FOUND HUNDREDS OF DIFFERENT COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM ONLINE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE!! FIX THIS PLEASE!

WE HAVE EXPERIENCED RECURRING LEAKS IN ROOF OF VEHICLE, APPARENTLY RELATED TO PROBLEMS WITH SUNROOF DRAINS, RESULTING IN ISSUES WITH ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH STEREO, WINDOWS, POWER LOCKS, POWER MIRRORS, ETC.) VERY CONCERNED ABOUT IMPACT ON AIR BAGS. *TR

WHEN EVER IT RAINS PRODUCING PUDDLES THE POWER STEERING STOPS MAKING IT HARD TO TURN. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE HAVING CAR. I CHECKED WITH OTHER OWNERS THEY ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEM. *KB

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 TRYIN

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

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN THE CAR GOES THROUGH WATER/PUDDLE THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER STEERING. THERE IS A LOSS OF STEERING. ON SOME OCCASIONS THE LOSS IS MOMENTARY BUT THE LAST TIME IT WAS MORE THAN MOMENTARY - WHILE HAVING GONE THROUGH A SMALL PUDDLE OF WATER AND THEN GOING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN THE STEERING COMPLETELY FAILED AND I WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE A TURN. *KB

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WARNED THE CONTACT TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK VIA THE MESSAGE DISPLAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER EXHIBITED A LEAK. THE CONTAMINATED BOOSTER AND THE MASTER CYLINDER WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,390 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

I HAVE A 2007 GMC ACADIA WITH 59,000 MILES ON IT. AT 29,000 MILES ON IT, THEY REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP. NOW AT 59,000 THEY ARE SAYING IT NEEDS A STEERING RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY AND POSSIBLY A PUMP. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THESE ITEMS HAVE A VERY HIGH FAILURE RATE IN THESE VEHICLES. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN OBVIOUS DEFECT THAT WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT WHEN THESE PARTS FAIL, THE VEHICLE IS ALMOST IF NOT DEFINITELY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN 50 MPH WHEN THE DRIVER CRASHED HEAD-ON WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE LEFT LEG AND HEAD. THE POLICE REPORTED TO THE SCENE AND A REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A BODY SHOP WHERE THE BODY DAMAGE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT AN INVESTIGATOR WOULD INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE INSPECTOR STATED THAT THE CONTROL MODULE WAS UNPLUGGED DURING THE IMPACT, WHICH CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000. UPDATED 2/8/12 *CN

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCK AND THE VEHICLE WOULD MAKE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN MAKING TURNS. SHE ALSO STATED THAT THE GAS GAUGE FLUCTUATES AND DOES NOT DISPLAY THE ACCURATE AMOUNT OF GAS LEFT IN THE VEHICLE. AN INSPECTION WAS DONE BY THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED HER THAT SHE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE RUBBER ON THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE GAS GAUGE. THE STEERING REPAIR WAS COMPLETED BUT NOT THE GAS GAUGE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 33,000.

FRONT AND REAR WIPER AND SPRAY CONTROL WORKING BACKWARDS. THE FRONT CONTROL SWITCH ACTIVATES THE FRONT WIPERS AND REAR SPRAY AND THE REAR CONTROL SWITCH OPERATES THE REAR WIPERS AND FRONT SPRAY. THIS APPEARS TO HAVE OCCURRED AFTER SERVICE RECALL FOR HEATING AND SNOW/ICE ISSUES AS IT WORKED PROPERLY BEFORE THE SERVICE. *TR

POWER STEERING MAKES LOUD HUMMING NOISE. ISSUE DISCUSSED WITH SERVICE TECH DURING INITIAL WARRANTY PERIOD AND TOLD NOISE WAS DUE TO PRESSURE IN PS SYSTEM. OWNER TOLD THIS IS NORMAL, BUT OVER THE YEARS THE NOISE HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND ANNOYING. *TR

MY PASSENGER SIDE HEAD LIGHT WENT OUT ON MY 2007 GMC ACADIA. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANY LONGER IT HAS 45,000 MILES ON IT. THIS WILL BE THE 3RD TIME I'VE NEEDED MY HEAD LIGHTS TO BE REPLACED AND THEY TELL ME THAT THE HARNESS IS MELTED. FROM READING ONLINE I SEEM TO NOT BE THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY WILL HAVE TO LET ME KNOW HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO REPLACE. *TR

VEHICLE IS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TURNS OFF WHEN THERE IS A PERSON SITTING IN THE SEAT WHENEVER THEY MOVE. SOMETIMES THE AIRBAG REMAINS OFF FOR 10 TO 15 MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BAD OCCUPANCY MODULE AND LOOP CONNECTOR. THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL FOR THESE ISSUES, HOWEVER MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. AFTER TALKING TO GMC, THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND I SHOULD PAY THE $1700 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND HOPE THAT I GET REIMBURSED AT A LATER DATE. *TR
