2007 GMC Acadia complaints

I OWN A 2007 GMC ARCADIA AND SOMETIMES WHEN I GO THROUGH WATER (IF IT'S BEEN A HEAVY RAIN) MY POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK AND IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR WHICH COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT HAPPENED WHEN WE WERE ON VACATION AND WE STOPPED AT A AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND THE OWNER CAME OUT AND OPENED THE HOOD AND SHOWED MY HUSBAND THAT THE POWER STEERING SERPENTINE BELT SLIPPED. THERE IS NO COVERING OVER THE BELT AND WHEN IT GETS WET, IT CAN SLIP. WHEN WE EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED, THAT WE LOST THE POWER STEERING, HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AS HE HAD OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IF WE HAD BEEN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, DOING 65 MILES AN HOUR IT COULD HAVE BEEN A TRAGEDY. IT ALSO HAPPENED AGAIN DURING THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY. *TR

UPDATED 02/09/11*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE POWER STEERING FAILED THREE TIMES. UPDATED 06/24/11

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. THE POWER STEERING FAILED WHEN IT RAINED OR WHENEVER WATER WAS IN THE WHEEL WELL AND MADE CONTACT WITH THE PULLEY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD ADD A FENDER COVER THAT WOULD PREVENT WATER FROM SPLASHING ONTO THE POWER STEERING. THE FENDER COVER WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND WOULD COST THE CONTACT $200. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT THE DEALER TO CONFIRM THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO STATED THAT THEY WOULD CALL THE CONTACT WITH FURTHER DETAILS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

THE VEHICLE LEAKS WATER ON BOTH THE RIGHT AND LEFT FLOOR BOARDS AND APPEARS TO BE ALSO COMING DOWN THE BACK OF THE FRONT DASH. THIS OCCURS IN LIGHT RAIN UP TO SEVERE RAIN. IT HAS BEEN DEALER REPAIRED (SEALED AND GASKET MATERIAL APPLIED) AND THAT SEAMED TO WORK THE FIRST TIME FOR A WHILE AND NOW IT IS LEAKING IN THE SAME PLACE AGAIN. *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

2007 GMC ACADIA. CONSUMER WRITES REGARDING THE RACK AND PINION STEERING BEING REPLACED WITH LOW MILEAGE. *TGW

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 GMC ACADIA IN NOV. OF 2007. SINCE NEW IT HAS HAD A STEERING ISSUE THAT CAN NOT BE FIXED. THE RACK AND PINION HAS BEEN REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE HAS BURNED UP NUMEROUS POWERSTEERING PUMPS. THE STEERING, WHILE IN A CURVE, WILL LOCK UP AND THEN RELEASE THROWING THE VEHICLE IN THE DIRECTION THE WHEEL IS TURNED. IT HAS THROWN THE VEHICLE INTO THE OTHER LANE OF ON COMING TRAFFIC AS WELL AS THROWING THE VEHICLE OF THE ROAD INTO A FENCE. EACH TIME THE DEALERSHIP HAS PICKED THE VEHICLE UP REPLACED THE STEERING PUMPS BUT THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 47,000 MILES ON IT. THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP AND THE SHIFTING COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED, THEN THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP AND WAS REPLACED. THE STEERING ISSUE IS ARE MAIN CONCERN. IT WAS TAKEN IN ON 9/28/10 AND RECEIVED NEW TRANSMISSION AND POWERSTEERING PUMP. WE RECEIVED THE VEHICLE ON 10/25/2010. ON, 10/28/10 THE VEHICLE STEERING LOCKED UP AGAIN THROWING MY WIFE OFF THE ROAD INTO A FENCE. THERE IS NO WAY THAT GM HAS PUT THREE BAD POWER STEERING PUMPS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT IS BINDING THE STEERING CAUSING THE PUMPS TO BURN UP. THE SAME PROBLEM HAS MADE THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE DANGER OF IT LOCKING UP AND THROWING THE VEHICLE INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE ALL SERVICE RECORDS REPORTING THIS ISSUE. I WILL NOT ALLOW MY BACK IN THIS VEHICLE AND I AM NOT COMFORTABLE TRADING IT IN FOR ANOTHER FAMILY TO BE KILLED IN IT. I COULD NOT LIVE WITH THA

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT OBSERVED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WOULD NOT FUNCTION AND ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT. WHEN REMOVING THE HEADLIGHT, HE DISCOVERED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM WIRING HARNESS HAD MELTED. THE CONTACT WAS IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

DRIVING MY 2007 GMC ACADIA. WENT TO PASS A SLOWER VEHICLE, PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO PASS AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT HAYWIRE AND THE ACCELERATOR STUCK. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO GET IT STOPPED. THE RPMS WERE IN THE 4000S. THEN THE ACCELERATION WOULD STOP AND START AGAIN OVER TO 4000. LUCKILY WHEN I PASSED THE VEHICLE THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME OR I WOULD HAVE HAD A MAJOR ACCIDENT WITH THE ACCELERATION OUT OF CONTROL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT TWO OF THE TIMING CHAINS WERE VERY WORN AND THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE CLUTCH PRESSURE CONTROL WITH HARSH SHIFTS IN DRIVE RANGE 3RD AND/OR 5TH GEAR. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME THE GMC DEALER 'FLASHED' (REPROGRAMMED) THE TRANSMISSION, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT ACTING UP WHEN THE CAR WAS TAKEN INTO THE SHOP. IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT ADDRESSED "PROPERLY", I BELIEVE SOMEONE SOMEWHERE WILL BE INJURED OR KILLED. THE CONDITION MY VEHICLE EXHIBITED LEAVES ME WITH A VERY UNEASY FEELING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED AFTER REMOVING THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BUT WAS ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE COULD ONLY BE DUPLICATED IF THE FAILURE WAS CONSISTENT. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD BE STOLEN WITH AS THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN WHEN THE KEYS WERE REMOVED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

MY DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT BULB WENT OUT. I BOUGHT A REPLACEMENT, BUT WHEN I DISASSEMBLED EVERYTHING AND GOT TO THE BULB, THE CONNECTOR WAS SOMEWHAT MELTED AND ONE OF THE WIRES WAS PULLED OUT. WHEN I TRIED TO REMOVE THE BULB, THE CONNECTOR CRACKED. NOTE THAT THIS WAS THE ORIGINAL BULB. *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

MY FAMILY AND I WERE TRAVELING ON I-20 BACK FROM COLUMBIA IN MY 2007 GMC ACADIA. I NOTICED A WHINING NOISE, TIGHTEN IN THE STEERING, TOLD MY HUSBAND THAT WE NEED TO STOP FOR GAS AND CHECK THE FLUIDS. YIELDING AT THE NEXT EXIT I COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I FINALLY WITH ALL MY STRENGTH TURN THE VEHICLE INTO A HESS GAS STATION. WE CHECK FLUIDS AND CALLED ONSTAR FOR A DIAGNOSTICS REPORT. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP TOLD US THAT THEY DID NOT SEE ANYTHING IN THE MAJOR PARTS BUT DID TRY TO CALL A GM DEALERSHIP (KING CADILLAC). KING WAS NOT OPEN AND WOULD SCHEDULE AN APPT ON MONDAY. MY HUSBAND DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH WE LEFT FOR EARLY DROP OFF. RECEIVED A CALL FROM TECHNICAL ON MONDAY PM, WHICH STATED IT WAS THE POWER STEERING PUMP. ASKED HIM ABOUT IF THERE WAS ANY COMPLAINT OR RECALLS ON THE PUMP BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS REPLACE BACK AT 14,000 MILES. THIS WOULD BE THE 3RD PUMP THAT HAS BEEN PUT ON THIS CAR. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON SEPT. 10, 2008 FOR THIS PROBLEM AND MANY COMPLAINTS SINCE 2008. *TR

2007 GMC ACADIA PRODUCED MESSAGE STABILITRACK OFF. THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW. LOOKED IN OWNERS MANUAL, IT SAID TO PULL OVER SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND WAIT 15 SECONDS AND RESTART. I DID THAT BUT WAITED 25 SECONDS TRIED TO RESTART, NOTHING HAPPENED. WHEN THIS HAPPENED ALL THE GAUGES MALFUNCTIONED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WAS TOWED TO DEALER, DEALER DID DIAGNOSTICS, AND SAID COULD NOT FIND NOTHING WRONG. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE WITHOUT THE CONSEQUENCE OF NOT STARTING. JUST CAME OFF OF THE EXPRESSWAY 10 MINUTES PRIOR TO THIS OCCURRENCE. *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

WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL IT MAKES WHINING AND GROANING NOISES. DEALER ATTEMPTED FIX WHICH RESOLVED PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 1 MONTH AND THEN SOUNDS CAME BACK. DEALER REFUSES TO FIX NOW, STATING THAT GMC HAS TOLD THEM NOT TO FIX IT AND IS "WORKING ON A FIX" (WHICH WAS 3 MONTHS AGO). STILL NO FIX BEING OFFERED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER IT RAINED, WATER CONSTANTLY LEAKED INTO THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE SUN ROOF AND AFFECTED THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHERE THE HEADLINER WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO ADVISED HIM TO SPEAK WITH THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 49,000.

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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CLUTCH PLATE WAS REPLACED.

ON 4/20/201, I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 GMC ACADIA ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AT OR NEAR THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 35 MPH WHEN THE SIDE/CURTAIN AIRBAGS SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY SOUND I HEARD WAS THE DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ONSTAR CAME ONLINE AND NOTIFIED THE LOCAL POLICE. WHEN THE POLICE ARRIVED, THE POLICE INVESTIGATED THE SCENE, INCLUDING SURVEYING THE ROAD BEHIND ME TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY POTHOLES OR DEBRIS. NOTHING WAS FOUND IN THE ROAD. AN INCIDENT REPORT WAS FILED BUT NO ACCIDENT REPORT WAS FILLED OUT. AAA WAS CALLED AND SHOWED UP WITH A FLATBED TRUCK AND TOWED MY CAR TO THE DEALER. WHEN THE CAR WAS OFFLOADED FROM OF THE TOW TRUCK, THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL WAS DAMAGED. THIS DAMAGE DID NOT OCCUR AT THE SCENE OF THE SPONTANEOUS DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS. GM HAS DENIED TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE MALFUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE. GM CLAIMS OPERATOR ERROR AND THAT THE AIRBAGS PERFORMED PROPERLY. THEIR CLAIM IS BASED UPON THE DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL AND THEY CLAIM THAT THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE TIPPED BEYOND THE 48 DEGREE THRESHOLD FOR THE FIRING OF THE AIRBAGS. THESE CLAIMS BY GM ARE FALSE. I WAS TRAVELING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AND THE CAR DID NOT, AT ANYTIME, TIP ANYWHERE NEAR 48 DEGREES. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AGAIN. *TR UPDATED IVOQ 08/12/10*JB

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

2008 SATURN OUTLOOK (SAME AS GMC ACADIA, BUICK ENCLAVE AND CHEVY TRAVERSE) THE HEADLAMP WIRING HARNESS AS DESIGNED IS LIKELY AND DOES GOT SO HOT THAT THE WIRING CLIP TO THE BULB BURNS/SCORCHES. IT RENDERS THE HEADLAMP VERY INTERMITTENT AND THEN FAILS. THE GM P/N IS 20858015. IT IS A $49 PART ... AND A $200+ INSTALL DUE TO THE RIDICULOUS COMPLEXITY OF GETTING TO THE HEADLAMP AND THAT IT GOES BACK INTO THE CAR. RECALL IS VERY MUCH NECESSARY.

(JUST TURN YOUR CAR TO ACC. AND TRY TURNING THE WHEEL AND THATS THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE AT 65 MPH. NO STEERING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CAR AND SOMEBODY IS GOING TO DIE OR SERIOUS INJURYS WILL RESULT. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR ON THE INTERNET. PLEASE IF YOU JUST CHECK THE CAR OR I HAVE IT STUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH THE PROBLEM.

POWER STEERING WHINES AND GROANS AT ABOVE NORMAL PITCH AND IS ERRATIC, SOMETIMES TURNS EASILY, SOMETIMES FREEZES MOMENTARILY WHILE DRIVING, HAVE CHECKED ALL FLUIDS ETC. AND EVERYTHING IS AT MFG RECOMMENDED LEVELS. MOST PROMINENT AT LOWER SPEEDS. *TR

LOW BEAM WIRE HARNESS MELTED WITH A RISK OF FIRE DUE TO WRONG WATTAGE BULB ACCORDING TO GM DEALERSHIP. CIRCUIT PROTECTION WAS INADEQUATE TO PREVENT SUCH A COMMON FAILURE MODE. HARNESS HAS NOT YET BEEN REPLACED.

WE WERE DRIVING BETWEEN JACKSON HOLE AND THAYNE, WYOMING AND GOT INTO A HEAVY RAINSTORM AND STARTED TO EXPERIENCE A SLIGHT STEERING PROBLEM. IT WAS NOT UNTIL WE STOPPED AND PARKED FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN STARTED UP THAT WE REALLY EXPERIENCE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHUTTER, MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE TO THE POINT THAT WE FORCED TO PARK THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING. AFTER SITTING OVER NIGHT AND ALLOWED TO DRY OUT, THE STEERING IMPROVED, BUT THERE STILL REMAINED A SLIGHT SHUTTER AS WE START TO MOVE AND ATTEMPT TO STEER EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT. IT HAS LEFT US A LITTLE CONCERNED OVER THIS MATTER, CAUSING ME TO TAKE IT TO OUR LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP (HARMON'S MOTOR, PROVO, UTAH). THEY CHECKED THE WATER SHIELDS AND FOUND THEM IN TACT SO THEY CHOSE TO REPLACE THE SERPENTINE BELT. OTHERWISE,. THERE REMAINS A SLIGHT LAG OR PAUSE IN THE STEERING ON START UP WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH TRANSLATES INTO A SLIGHT SHUTTER. ONCE UNDER WAY, THE STEERING RETURNS TO NORMAL. *TR

WE HAD TO GET A FLATBED TRUCK TO TAKE THE CAR IN TO GM AND FOUND OUT IT WAS THE SWAY BAR THAT WAS BROKE AS WELL AS THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AND JUST A MONTH BEFORE THIS WE HAD ISSUES WITH THE STEERING WHEEL THAT HAD TO BE FIXED. THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY THINGS WRONG WITH CAR ITS UNBELIEVABLE I WENT TO TRADE IT IN AND FINDING OUT THAT WE PAID 45,000 FOR IT BRAND NEW NOW ITS ONLY $20,000 AT THE MAX WE CAN GET FOR OUR AWD ACADIA WITH MOST OF THE BELLS AND WHISTLES. NOW IT IS LACKING POWER IN ACCELERATION AGAIN MERGING ON HIGHWAYS OR PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC THE CAR LULLS OUT AND SOUNDS LIKE ITS STUCK IN NEUTRAL AND IT FINALLY KICKS IN AND GOES VERY DANGEROUS I COULD OF BEEN REAR ENDED THE OTHER DAY BECAUSE OF THIS IT WAS A CLOSE CALL. *TR

BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2007 ACADIA IN JULY 2007. AFTER SEVERAL TIMES OF HAVING IT IN THE SHOP FOR A LEAKY SUNROOF, I THOUGHT ALL WAS WELL. ABOUT A MONTH AGO I NOTICED A VERY LOUD WHINING, ESPECIALLY ON TURNS. TURNS OUT THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS GOING OUT AND DEALERSHIP SAID I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT FIXED PRONTO! SAID IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. SO AFTER PAYING OVER 36,000.00 FOR THIS AUTOMOBILE, I NOW HAVE TO PAY 800.00 TO REPLACE A POWER STEERING PUMP ON A NEW CAR THAT I HAVE HAD FOR A YEAR AND A HALF. WHAT?! THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD PROBABLY FIX IT SOON. I HOPE SINCE THIS IS MY ONLY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. *TR

WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT THE GMC ACADIA AND GOING OUT FOR A TEST DRIVE, WE MENTIONED TO THE SALES REP THAT THE ACCELERATION WAS VERY SLUGGISH. HE RESPONDED THAT IT TAKES MILEAGE TO WARM THE VEHICLE UP. WE HAVE 15,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND IT STILL IS SLUGGISH. WE HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. DRIVING IN THE RAIN AND/OR SNOW IS VERY HAZARDOUS, AND GOING UP HILLS, SINCE IT LACKS ACCELERATION, IT CAUSES THE TIRES TO SPIN OUT. WE HAVE GOTTEN STUCK GOING UP A HILL IN RAINY AND/OR SNOWY CONDITIONS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT / STABILITRAK WARNING LIGHT LEADING TO DISCOVERY THE ENGINE CYLINDER HEAD AND VALVES WERE DAMAGED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. TOTAL REPAIR TOOK 33 DAYS. APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS GM ENGINE. NUMEROUS INTERNET SITES STATE IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED CAMSHAFT COMPONENTS ARE THE POSSIBLE CAUSE. MY CAMSHAFTS WERE NOT REPLACED, BUT I DO SUSPECT THEY WERE PROBABLY THE CAUSE BASED ON PRESENT INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO ME. *TR

ONE NICE DAY DRIVING IN TOWN, I MUST HAVE RUN OVER A NAIL OR SOME OTHER SHARP ITEM. WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, I HEARD A HISSING NOISE. I PULLED INTO A FLAT PARKING LOT TO INVESTIGATE - SUSPECTING I HAD A LEAKING FRONT PASSENGER TIRE BY THE WAY THE GMC ACADIA WAS DRIVING. I REMOVED THE JACK AND SPARE FROM THE BACK OF THE TRUCK AND ALSO THE MANUAL FROM THE GLOVE BOX. FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS NOT ONLY PRINTED ON THE JACK, IN THE MANUAL, BUT ALSO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE - I PLACED THE JACK, MADE SURE IT WAS STEADY, AND PROCEEDED TO JACK THE TRUCK UP. THE JACK COLLAPSED UNDER THE WEIGHT OF THE TRUCK. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS SET. I TOOK EVERY SAFETY PRECAUTION ESPECIALLY BECAUSE MY SONS WERE WITH ME AND THEY ARE TEENAGERS (NEW DRIVERS) SO I WAS TRYING TO EMPHASIZE THE SAFETY ISSUES - LUCKY FOR ME !!!! THEY ARE THE ONES THAT YELLED THAT THE TRUCK WAS COMING DOWN. THE DESIGN OF THE JACK REQUIRES AT LEAST YOUR ARMS TO BE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE TO JACK IT UP WHICH IS VERY UNSAFE. FORTUNATELY FOR ME, I DON'T EVER WORK UNDERNEATH A VEHICLE UNLESS THERE IS SOMEONE ELSE CAPABLE STANDING BY. THE ENTIRE JACK WAS BENT SIDEWAYS - UNUSABLE. MY OPINION IS THAT THE JACK POINTS ON THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK ARE CORRECT; HOWEVER, THE MATERIAL THAT THE JACKS ARE MADE FROM IS SUBPAR. ALTHOUGH THE DEALER REPLACED THE JACK FREE OF CHARGE -- I WON'T USE IT. I COULD HAVE LOST MY RIGHT ARM THE LAST TIME UNDER IDEAL CIRCUMSTANCES. I WON'T EVEN TAKE A CHANCE THAT IT'S THE SAME JACK MATERIAL NEXT TIME. WH

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. WHENEVER THE CONTACT ATTEMPTS TO TURN THE VEHICLE IN EITHER DIRECTION, THE STEERING BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT. THE CONTACT NOTICED A CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS SERVICED FOR THE POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION. THE CONTACT DID NOT NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCES PRIOR TO THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 25,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,500.
