2008 GMC Acadia

Defect. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 Buick Enclave vehicles manufactured January 3, 2007, to February 29, 2012, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse vehicles manufactured July 6, 2008, to March 9, 2012, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia vehicles manufactured September 15, 2006, to February 29, 2012, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook vehicles manufactured August 17, 2006, to March 18, 2010. The affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open. These struts may prematurely wear and the open liftgate may suddenly fall.

Risk. If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury.

Remedy. GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit so that the motor will prevent the rapid closing of the lift gate, free of charge. The recall began on November 15, 2016. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782, and Saturn customer service at 1-800-553-6000.

Defect. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia and 2009-2013 Chevrolet Traverse and 2008-2010 Saturn Outlook vehicles. In the affected vehicles, increased resistance in the driver and passenger seat mounted side impact air bag (SIAB) wiring harnesses may result in the SIAB and seat belt pretensioners not deploying in the event of a crash.

Risk. Failure of the side impact air bags and seat belt pretensioners to deploy in a crash increase the risk of injury to the driver and front seat occupant.

Remedy. GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected harness connections with soldered connections, free of charge. The recall began on June 16, 2014. Buick owners may contact the owner center at 1-800-521-7300, Chevrolet owners at 1-866-694-6546, Saturn at 1-800-553-6000, and GMC owners at 1-866-996-9463. GM's number for this recall is 14030.

Deer hit me on the highway at 2am on December 26th. No air bags deployed.

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.

Check engine light came on for the TCM. Car has had issues shifting (very rough shifting) and the manual shift option does not work. Was told the TCM had to be replaced. Attempt was made to replace it with a refurbished TCM but that couldn't be programmed to the car. Was then told I would have to buy a brand new one, which is very expensive, and that there was no guarantee that would fix the problem. Car can not be driven over 20mph without risking burning up the transmission. Car also jerks forward very hard when trying to gently accelerate.

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.

Passenger Airbag warning light has been showing on my dash since I purchased the vehicle in October of 2021. I brought the vehicle to an auto repair shop to have it checked, and was told that the airbags would malfunction if I were to get into an accident that called for them to deploy.

Warning message appears on dash showing windshield wiper fluid is low/empty when it doesn't need it. This warning message remains lit even when the fluid has just been refilled.

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.

It was in a front end Collision the airbags didn’t deploy my insurance said they totaled the car out due to needing a lot of money to fix it and I contacted gm about it they said there was no recalls and no repairs were don’t to it

The headlights don't work even after replacing. It rains in the vehicle from the sunroof. The gas tank isn't registering even after fixing it. So the engine doesn't know how much to put out etc etc and it makes the car jerk horribly. This vehicle is a fire hazard due to raining inside on everything upfront. I have kids I pray nothing happens!!

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.

The contact owns a 2008 GMC Acadia. The vehicle had previously been serviced at the dealer under NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 14V118000 (Air Bags) and 15V415000 (Structure) however, after the recall repairs were performed, the rear springs fractured. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, he noticed that a section of the rear spring was on the ground. After inspecting underneath the vehicle, he noticed that the rear springs were fractured. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the dealer informed the contact that the rear springs needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 7,572.

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.

No sound wires behind fuse box are bad

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.

VEHICLE WILL CUT OFF, STILL RUNS AFTER SWITCH IS OFF, WHEN MAKING A TURN POPPING IN THE WHEEL, STEERING GETS HARD WHEN MAKING A TURN, SOMETHING KILLS BATTERY AND IT LEAKS INSIDE, THIS HAPPENS WHETHER IN MOTION OR NOT

THERE IS WATER THAT COMES DOWN INTO THE WIRING HARNESS OF ALL OF THE DOORS. I AM ABLE TO TAKE THE WIRING HARNESSES OFF AND TONS OF WATER DUMPS OUT. THIS HAS CORRODED MANY OF THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. THE CORROSION HAS LED TO LOCKS WINDOWS MIRRORS AND SPEAKERS NOT WORKING. PLEASE RECALL THIS.....

THERE IS A AIRBAG NOTIFICATION THAT COMES ON ALSO IM HAVING ENGINE ISSUES WHERE MY FUEL RUNS OUT EXTREMELY FAST WITHOUT NOTICE. I CAN DRIVE LESS THAN 30 MILES AND MY VEHICLE WILL BE ALMOST OF EMPTY FROM A FULL TANK. IT JUST HAPPENED OUT OF NOWHERE. MY FRIEND ALSO HAS THE SAME VEHICLE AND SHE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH HER CAR. I REALLY NEED THIS FIXED ASAP.*DT*JB

THE RPMS SKYROCKETED WHILE DRIVING AND AS THE CAR WAS PULLED OVER IT CAUGHT FIRE. THE FIRE DEPT SAID IT TOOK PLACE IN THE ELECTRICAL PART OF THE MOTOR AND BURNED THROUGH THE FUEL LINE. IGNITING THE FUEL

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.

MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE I GOT THE CAR IN MARCH OF 2020. I HAVE JUST REPLACED MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS OCTOBER OF 2020 AND NOW THE DRIVER SIDE LIGHTS DOESN'T WORK. ON THE DASHBOARD THE LIGHT THAT'S SUPPOSE TO SHOW WHEN YOUR BRIGHT'S ARE ON, DOESN'T COME ON ANYMORE AND I WAS IN MOTION WHEN I REALIZED THEY HAD STOPPED WORKING.

'SERVICE AIR BAG' HAD BEEN ON MY COMPUTER SCREEN FOR A FEW DAYS AND ISN'T GOING OFF. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED AND THEY TOLD ME IT MEANS SOMETHING IS UNPLUGGED. I TOOK IT BACK ONLY TO HAVE IT COME BACK IN MONTHS LATER. IT SOMETIMES HAPPEN AS I'M DRIVING BUT LATELY IT'S THERE WHEN I TURN THE IGNITION. I ALSO HAVE SHIFTING PROBLEMS OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND SOMETIMES SECOND. I WAS TOLD IT'S THE WAVE PLATES AND IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE. HOW ARE THESE VEHICLES STILL BEING SOLD WITH THE SAME ISSUES OVER AND OVER! THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AS I'M DRIVING.

DASH LIGHT STATING "SERVICE AIR BAG" COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. WHILE TRAVELING AND SOMETIMES AT STOP

BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED, WAS FINE AND WAS A GREAT CAR FOR MONTHS UNTIL THE BATTERY WOULD NOT KEEP A CHARGE. TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE THEY TESTED MY BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR ALL WAS GOOD THEY CHARGED UP MY BATTERY FOR ME. THE BATTERY LASTED TWO DAYS NEXT TIME I WENT TO START IT IT WAS DEAD. WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE IT EVERY DAY TO KEEP A CHARGE ON IT. EVENTUALLY WENT AND BOUGHT A BRAND NEW BATTERY. ONLY AFTER A FEW DAYS THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AGAIN. ON A BRAND NEW BATTERY IT WOULD NEED TO BE DROVE EVERYDAY TO KEEP A CHARGE. IT'S TO THE POINT WHERE I WILL HAVE TO JUMP IT TO DRIVE IT AND THEN IT WONT EVEN KEEP A CHARGE FOR A HOUR. BRAND NEW BATTERY. NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ALTERNATOR. NO LIGHTS , ETC. BEING LEFT ON. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WITH IT. NEED MY CAR.

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.

I'VE COME TO FIND OUT MY CAR IS THROWING A CODE FOR THE TCM BEING STUCK TURNS OUT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE AS WELL AS THE WAVE PLATE FOR THIS MODEL GMC SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE BEING THIS IS THEIR DESIGN FLAW AND SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE ACROSS THE BOARD FOR ALMOST ALL ACADIAS OF THESE YEARS.

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.

THIS VEHICLE WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN START SWAYING FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND THE STABILITRAK LIGHT WILL COME ON. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SUDDENLY SEIZE UP, LOSING ACCELERATION AND NEARLY CAUSING A CRASH. THE ENGINE WILL ALSO STATE THAT IT IS OVERHEATING, ALL OF A SUDDEN AND THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT ITSELF OFF AND SMOKE WILL START COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE GOING BETWEEN 35 AND 65 MPH. ON THE STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. MY CHILDREN IN THE BUCKET SEATS IN THE BACK WERE SLEEP AND THEIR HEADS HIT THE WINDOW. THEY SUSTAINED INJURY. THAT WAS ON A REGULAR STREET AND THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 35 MPH. I WAS WITHIN OR SLIGHTLY UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED SWAYING UNEXPECTEDLY. WHEN THE ROAD IS WET, IT WILL SWAY FROM SIDE TO SIDE ON SIMPLE CURVES IN THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED TWICE. DUE TO THE SAFETY CONCERNS AND FEAR OF MY FAMILY BEING FATALLY INJURED, IT WAS AROUND CHRISTMAS TIME. I HAVE HAD TO PARK THE VEHICLE. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC BY PHONE SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO RESPONSE IN RETURN. I SPOKE WITH SOMEONE AND WAS INFORMED TO REPORT IT TO NHTSA. MAYBE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE A DEATH OCCURS.

THEFT KEEPS COMING ON AND DOESN'T START AT TIMES THEN THE WINDOWS DON'T ALWAYS GO UP AND ALSO THE AIR BLINKS 3 TIMES AND DOESN'T STAY ON IT JUMPS AROUND AND SOMETIMES IT'S STUCK ON WON'T TURN OFF AND WHILE THE THE AIR IS STUCK TRYING TO WORK THE ENGINE RUNS HARD
