2008 GMC Acadia complaints

MY 2008 GMC ACADIA HAS HAD A RECURRING ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR. A NOTIFICATION IN THE DASHBOARD SAYS "SERVICE AIR BAG". I TOOK IT TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT IN RICHMOND VA SOON AFTER PURCHASING. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. IT CONTINUED TO BE A PROBLEM. THE GMC DEALERSHIP IN MANASSAS VA SAID THEY FIXED IT WHEN I TOOK IT TO THEM LATER. I TOOK IT BACK A MONTH LATER BECAUSE THEIR "FIX" DID NOT WORK AND THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" INDICATOR STILL COMES ON. BEFORE IT WOULD COME ON PERIODICALLY, BUT NOW IT IS ON ALMOST ALL THE TIME. MY CAR DOES NOT PASS INSPECTION NOW AND THE GMC DEALERSHIP WANTS $1000 TO REPLACE THE SENSOR EVEN THOUGH THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR SINCE I PURCHASED IT FROM THE DEALER.

MY GIRLFRIEND'S VEHICLE POWER STEERING STIFFENED UP IN A TURN AND THEN CAME BACK DURING THE AND CAUSED HER TO OVER CORRECT AND END UP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IF SHE WAS GOING ANY FASTER THE PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE. THE VEHICLE DOES THIS EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE POWER STEERING WORKS AND THEN DOESNT AT RANDOM TIMES.

HEADLIGHTS ARE BURNING UP ABOUT EVERY 2 MONTHS DOES NOT MATTER WHAT SIDE THEY ARE NOT LASTING

THE VEHICLE IS HAVING ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION, THERE IS A RECALL ON OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL IN A LARGE RANGE OF YEARS. THE RECALL IS A TRANSMISSION SOLENOID. HOWEVER BECAUSE UNDER THE VIN NUMBER IT DOES NOT SHOW THERE IS A RECALL THIS WILL NOT BE FIXED FREE BY DEALERSHIP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING.

MY TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND SAYS CAMSHAFT SENSOR. I TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID THAT I NEED A NEW MOTOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAM SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED BY ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 142,293.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN ROOF AND AREA BETWEEN THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR WAS LEAKING WATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COLONIAL AUTO CENTER (LOCATED AT 100 MYERS DR, CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA 22901) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

THE AIR BAG SENSOR/MODULE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY WITH THE PASSENGER IN THE SEAT FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS, BUT IS NON-FUNCTIONAL NOW (DOES NOT DETECT THE PRESENCE OF AN OCCUPANT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT) RESULTING IN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG BEING DISABLED AT ALL TIMES. I HAVE GOTTEN ESTIMATES FROM 3 DIFFERENT PLACES RANGING FROM $800-$1200.00 TO CORRECT. THIS ISSUE HAS NOW MADE OUR VEHICLE COMPLETELY UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY TO DRIVE AND RIDE IN!!!!

WHILE ACCELERATING I'VE NOTICED MY VEHICLE HAS SOME TYPE OF WAVE PLATE ISSUE BUT IT SEEMS COMMON FOR THESE VEHICLES. IT JERKS AND SHAKES AND IT'S NOT SAFE.

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. THIS IS COPIED AND PASTED FROM A PREVIOUS POST BECAUSE I HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. NO ACCIDENT SO FAR BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF HIGHWAY SAFELY WHILE CAR STALLED AT 70 MPH.

ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN A 3 WEEK PERIOD THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT DRIVER PROMPTS OR CONTROL (RPMS REVVED FROM 2000 TO OVER 6000 AND SPEED WOULD INCREASE FROM 50 MPH TO OVER 85 MPH WITH ACCELERATOR PEGGED TO THE FLOOR.) THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THIS WAS TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, STOP THE VEHICLE AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE FOR 10-15 MINUTES, THEN RESTART IT AND IT WOULD RUN NORMALLY FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME. IF I DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES AT A TIME IT WOULD REACT THIS WAY EVERY TIME AND NEARLY CAUSED ME TO HIT 2 VEHICLES ON THE INTERSTATE. ON ONE OCCASION I HAD TO IMPACT A GUARDRAIL TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED GMC DEALERSHIP WHO STATED ON BOTH OCCASIONS THEY COULD NOT REPEAT THE PROBLEM AFTER DRIVING IT FOR 5-10 MINUTES OR LESS THAN 15 MILES. WHEN I INFORMED THEM THAT IT ONLY OCCURRED AFTER 30-45 MINUTES OF DRIVING, THE TECHNICIAN STATED HE DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE THAT LENGTH OF TIME OR DISTANCE AND WENT ON TO SAY NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES WERE TRIPPED SO THERE WASN'T ANY REPAIRS HE COULD DO OR THAT GMC WOULD AUTHORIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AT WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND FOUND OVER 25 SIMILAR ISSUES AND COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL. TWO OF WHICH RESULTED IN A CRASH WITH SERIOUS INJURIES TO THE OCCUPANTS. I WAS FORCED TO SELL THIS VEHICLE AT A 2554.00 LOSS AND WILL NOW BE FILING A CLAS

THE LIGHTS ARE GOING IN AND OUT, AND THE HIGH BEAMS AS WELL AS THE TAILLIGHTS ARE DOING THE SAME. I WAS TOLD THERE IS A SHORT IN THE SYSTEM. THE STEERING SYSTEM IS MAKING A VERY LOUD NOISE ANY TIME THE STEERING WHEEL IS MOVED. THE STABILITY LIGHTS AS WELL AS OTHERS KEEP COMING ON AND OFF BUT WHEN CHECKED SHOWS NOTHING IS WRONG.

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

CAR LOOSE POWER AND STABILITRAKER CONTROL, PRESS CAR GAS PEDAL AND ONLY GOES TO 20 MPH IT HAPPEN ANYWHERE HIGHWAY AND REGULAR STREET

THE TIMING CHAIN IS GOING BAD FOR NO REASON, AND I KNOW IS NOT OLTHE ONLY ONE, A FRIEND OF MINE HAS THE SAME TRUCK WITH THE SAME PROBLEM FOR NO REASON AS WELL... I WAS ON MY WAY TO SCHOOL AND THE TRUCK LOST THE POWER AND DIDN'T COME BACK SO, I HAD TO CALL THE TOW TRUCK AND TAKE IT TO THE SHOP WHERE THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TIME CHAIN WAS BAD. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THAT YOU DO SOME RESEARCH AND HELP ME AND OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAS THE SAME TRUCK AS ME.

2008 GMC ACADIA WITH 140,000 MILES RAN FINE ON SATURDAY 11/24/18. NO NOISE, NO ISSUES, NO WARNING LIGHTS. MONDAY 11/26/18, ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER, BUT NOT CRANK. AGAIN, NO NOISE, ETC. HAD TOWED TO A LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP THAT HAS COMPLETED ALL WORK AND MAINTENANCE ON CAR. RESULTS=? BROKEN TIMING CHAIN. ???? THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2007 AND 2009 GMC ACADIA'S. IF THERE WAS ASSISTANCE WITH 2007 AND 2009, HOW COULD THEY NOT HAVE SCA/RECALL FOR 2008. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED IN 2007 OR THEY WOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO INCLUDE 2009. GMC NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE. WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ENGINE ISSUES WITH THIS 2008 GMC ACADIA. PLEASE ADVISE

I WAS ON A ROAD TRIP AND HALF WAY THROUGH THE TRIP WHILE ON THE FREEWAY THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT . I BARELY HAD CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ALMOST CRASH INTO THE WALL. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND IT WAS A SUNDAY SO I HAD TO DRIVE BACK HOME 3 HOURS WITH NO POWER STEERING.

MY 2008 GMC ACADIA BEGAN DISPLAYING SERVICE AIR BAG AND TURNING OFF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INTERMITTENTLY WHEN A PASSENGER WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT DUE TO THE WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT. AFTER A FEW MONTHS IT NOW STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. GMC SAID IT'S NOT UNDER A RECALL BUT I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT WITH THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL STATING IT'S A RECALL THIS HAPPENS WHEN IN MOTION AND WHILE STOPED

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 AIR BAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY WITH THE PASSENGER IN THE SEAT FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS, BUT IS NON-FUNCTIONAL NOW (DOES NOT DETECT THE PRESENCE OF AN OCCUPANT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT) RESULTING IN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG BEING DISABLED AT ALL TIMES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER SEIZED AND WAS UNABLE TO MOVE INTO PARK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V073000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 91,000. **TR CONSUMER STATED TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE FAILED AFTER A FEW DAY OF DIFFICULTY PUTTING SHIFTER INTO P PARK. ULTIMATELY WAS UNABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AT ALL. IF I KEPT DRIVING AND THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND NOT PROPERLY SHIFTING - VERY DANGEROUS. UPDATED 11/1/18*JB

HAD MY TRANSMISSION FAIL WHILE CAMPING IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH ZERO CELL PHONE SERVICE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT 121,657 MILES, THEN DETERIORATED UNTIL IT WOULD NO LONGER MOVE WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS COMPLETE REPLACEMENT TOTALLING 4.5K. GMC REFUSED TO ASSIST ME IN ANY MANNER TOWARDS THE BILL EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A VERY KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE OF VEHICLE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS AS IT IS A DEALER DEFECT.

THERE IS A RECALL ON THE CONVERTRR POST THAT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO SEIZE UP AND PULL TO GO INTO THE ENGINE.. WHEN STARTED NOTHING COMES OUT OF THE EXHAUST PIPES AS THEY ARE CLOGGED MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO OPERATE.. THE RECALL IGNORAMUS THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM HOWEVER AFTER CONTACTING GMC REPEATEDLY THEY SAY THAT IT DOESN'T INCLUDE THIS EXACT VIN..I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE ENGINE REPLACED ONCE DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AND THER DEALER FAILED TO DIAGNOSE IT PROPERLY AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALL IN OTHER VEHICLES OFTHE SAME MAKE AND MODEL... THE VEHICLE SIZES UP AT ANY RATE OF SPEED AND THE EXHAUST IS CLOGGED MAKING THE VEHICLE DANGEROUS TO OPERATE

THIS IS THE WORST VIECHLE WE HAVE EVERY BOUGHT. YOU NAME IT AN IT HAS GONE WRONG. TRANSMISSION TWICE, TIMING, POWER STEERING, TAILGATE, WE HAVE NEVER PULLED ANYTHING WITH OUR CAR. WHEN IT RAINS THE STEERING LOCKS UP.. ONE MINUTE WE ARE GOING 70 AND BAM THE CAR TURNS OFF. I CAN KEEP GOING. GMC PRETTY MUCH JUST SAID OH WELL. THIS HAVE HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES I LOST TRACK.

WORST VEHICLE EVER.

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

MY VEHICLE HAS 85,500 MILES ON ENGLINE AND TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WHEN IT HAD 36,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE NEVER PULLED ANYTHING BEHIND MY VEHICLE THAT WOULD PUT STRAIN ON THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND FOUND OUT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WOULD STAY IN 1ST GEAR AND WOULD NOT SHIFT TO A HIGHER GEAR.

I NEEDED TO ADD THIS INFORMATION TO COMPLAINT 11113379. SOMETIMES THE CARE WOULD BE SHIFTING OKAY AND GOING 55 MILES PER HOUR AND THEN IT WOULD DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST GEAR AND STAY IN FIRST GEAR

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.

SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON, NOW THE TRANSMISSION HOT IDLE ENGINE LIGHT IS POPPING ON AND ALSO SERVICE THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGT IS COMING ON. ME MY FAMILY HAD TAKEN A VACATION TO FLORIDA AND THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO STARTLE ALL THE WAY BACK TO TENNESSEE LEAVING US IN A DEVASTATED SITUATION . I WAS HOPING THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION AND AND AIR BAGS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS MANY OTHERS HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES IN THE PAST CONCERNING THEIR 2008 ACADIA VEHICLES THIS VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY EXPRESSWAY WITH A HIGH VOLUME OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. I WENT TO AUTO ZONE AND O' REILLY AUTO PARTS TO HAVE CHECK ENGINE TEST AND THE FOLLOWING CODES APPEARED DTC P2762 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH,P0700 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL,P0171 FUEL CONTROL SYSTEM. AND COMPUTER ERROR. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS VEHICLE EVER ME RECALL BUT I FEEL ME MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED AS THE FAST MOVING VEHICLE WAS COMING BEHIND US AS OUR VEHICLE LOST POWER AND CONNECTION.

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.

I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR BROUGHT IN FOR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. AFTER THE DEALER DID A FULL TEST, THEY NARROWED IT DOWN TO THE GAS TANK AREA. IT WAS A FUEL MODULE BROKEN AT THE FLANGE AND ALSO THEY RECOMMENDED THE FUEL SENSOR TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN NOTICING A LOT OF VEHICLE COMING IN WITH THE SENSOR GOING BAD. THE DEALER ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THE 2008 ACADIA'S HAVE A DESIGN FLAW IN THE GAS TANK AND THERE IS A CHANCE IN THE FUTURE IT MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED, BUT FOR NOW THE TANK LOOKS REALLY GOOD.

CHECK AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. TOOK TO DEALER TO HAVE CHECKED FOR $100. STAYED OFF FOR A WHILE BUT NOW COMES ON SOMETIMES IT GOES OFF. MAKES ME WONDER IF MY AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY IF THERE IS AN IMPACT. SOMETIMES IT IS OFF WHEN CAR IS FIRST MOVING THEN COMES ON. ITS RANDOM. STARTED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. BUT IT IS ON AND OFF. MY HUSBAND HAS CHECKED IT AS WELL AS THE DEALER. THERE IS NO RECALL ACCORDING TO WEBSITE, BUT THERE SHOULD BE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT NOTICED WATER LEAKING INTO THE VEHICLE FROM THE WINDSHIELD AND SUN ROOF, WHICH CAUSED THE RADIO, WIPER BLADES, AND TURN SIGNALS TO FAIL. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE BATTERY WAS MOIST DUE TO THE WATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MAUER BUICK GMC (1111 MN-110, INVER GROVE HEIGHTS, MN 55077), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED DUE TO THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE RADIO AMPLIFIER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE CAUSE OF THE LEAK WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 164,000.

MY CAR HAS BEEN RIDING CRAZY. IT KERKS WHEM DRIVING AND THIS IS ONLY DONE WITH SERVICE STABILTRAK AND TRACTION CONTROLL SENSORS COME ON IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. TOOK TO A MECHANIC WHO REPLACE PART CONNECTED TO BRAKE THAT SUPPOSE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. WND ISSIE IS THE AIRBAG SYSYEM KEEPS FLASHING OFF AND ON. I CHECKED NHSHF WEBSITE FOR REACALLS AND IT SAYS A RECALL. BUT WHEN I CONTACTED CHEVE THEY SAID NO RECALL. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON THESE ON THIS CAR. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE

DRIVING AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WENT OFF WITH NO WARNING AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO RUN INTO A STREET POLE.

2008 GMC ACADIA WITH INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER STEERING, I HAVE 112,396 MILES AND MY SUV AS WELL AS A LOT OF OTHERS PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET HAVE LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. THIS WAS A SPECIAL COVERAGE AND THIS IS STILL HAPPING TO PEOPLE IN THESE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY PUT A TIME FRAME ON WHEN THEY WOULD COVER THE VEHICLE ISSUES. THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL AND CRASH WHEN THIS ISSUE HAPPENS. I HAVE GOT AHOLD OF GM MOTORS AND THEY SAID I AM OUT OF THE TIME FRAME AND THEY WON'T COVER IT. PLEASE HELP ME OUT AND SEE ABOUT A RECALL SO PEOPLE WON'T GET INJURED OR POSSIBLE KILLED OVER THIS ISSUE THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT. THE ISSUE LOCKS THE STEERING WHEEL AND WON'T ALLOW YOU TO TURN IT LEFT OR RIGHT. UNTIL YOU SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO TURN IT.

FOR THE PAST 6-9 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH UNWARRANTED SPEED SHIFTING, HARD SHIFT CHANGES & OVERALL TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I HAVE HAD MY CAR TO TRANSMISSION SPECIALISTS ALMOAT ON A MONTHLY BASIS FOR THESE ISSUES. I WAS TOLD BY THE SPECIALIST THAT HE REPAIRS AT LEAST 3 CARS OF MY SAME MAKE & MODEL PER WEEK. HE SAID HE IS NOTICING A VERY COMMON FAILURE IN EACH VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE HAS POWER BUT THE SPEED & GEAR SHIFT ARE HUGE SAFETY ISSUES, AS IT IS VERY RANDOM & UNPROVOKED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY & MY VEHICLE WOULD JUST STALL OR SHIFT. I HAVE HAD TO CAREFULLY PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID A MAJOR ACCIDENT.

THIS CAR CAME WITH A 30 DAY AND/OR 1000 MILES WARRANTY. WITHIN A WEEK PASS THE WARRANTY IT STARTED. THE RADIO ILLUMINATION STARTED TO GO OUT WE WOULD HAVE TO TAP ON IT TO GET IT TO TURN ON SO WE COULD SEE THE TIME ETC. THEN IT WOULD NOT COME BACK ON AT ALL AND ALL CHIMES WENT AWAY., STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER. NO TURN SINGLE INDICATOR, SEAT BELTS, BACK UP WARNING, DOOR AJAR ETC. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INDICATOR WOULD SAY NO ONE WHEN SOMEONE WAS SITTING IN IT AND WHILE DRIVING BLINK BETWEEN THE TWO. ALSO AIR BAG NEEDS MAINTANCE INDICTOR IN DASH WILL FLASH WHILE DRIVING. PARK ASSISTANT ON AND OFF WILL FLASH WHILE DRIVING. THE STEERING WILL MOVE IN ITSELF WHILE DRIVING AND AROUND BENDS/TURNS IN THE ROAD AND WORSENING ON HIGHWAY! TO THE POINT I DO NOT TAKE MY CHILDREN ON. THERE IS ALSO A FAINT BURN SMELL AROUND FRONT FLOOR.I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL ADVANCED AUTO PARTS STORE AND HAVE THEM HOOK IT UP TO SEE WHY I LOST MY RADIO, STEERING ETC. THEY TELL ME THAT IT WAS A DEAD BATTERY CELL AND THAT MY BATTERY IS LOCATED IN THE FLOOR OF THIS VEHICLE BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT. BY THE WAY THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A SUNROOF ALL THE WINDOWS GO UP TIGHT AS WELL. I CALLED MY MECHANIC WHO I'VE KNOWN FOR YEARS MY FAMILY HAS WENT TO HIM AS WELL AND ASKED HIM TO ASSIST ME IN THE BATTERY ISSUE. SO WE GET THERE HE OPENS THE FLOOR BEHIND MY SEAT AND WE DISCOVERED THE BATTERY IS UNDERWATER DARK SLUDGY WATER! THE BATTERY IS REPLACED AFTER A VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND DISRESPECTFUL EXPERIENC

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (PREFERRED CHEVROLET BUICK GMC, 1701 S BEACON BLVD, GRAND HAVEN, MI 49417) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT INDICATOR MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 172,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I PURCHASED A 2008 ACADIA IN NOVEMBER 2016. THE SELLER STATED THAT THEY HAD TO ORDER A AIRBAG AND REPLACE THE OLD ONE. ALONE WITH THE SEAT BELT. I DIDN'T GET THE CAR UNTIL A MONTH LATER. WHEN I GOT THE ACADIA IT WAS MAKING SOME WHINING NOISE, WOULDN'T CRANK BACK UP, RATTLE AND CLATTER, DRAGGING IN THE TRANSMISSION LIKE DRIVING IN A CERTAIN GEARS, NOISY IN NEUTRAL. AIRBAG, SEATBELT AND STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CONTINUE TO COME ON. NEEDED A ALTERNATOR AND NOW THE ENGINE GONE. I BEEN HAVING PROBLEM'S WITH THE CAR SINCE I GOT IT, AND IT BEEN ONLY 13TH MONTHS. WE WERE DRIVING TWICE AND THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN ON US ON THE IN-STATE. WE HAD TO GET IT PULL BACK HOME. SEVERAL TIMES DRIVING ON THE MAIN HIGHWAY AND STREET IT WOULDN'T GO IN GREAT. I DON'T PHOTOS AT THIS TIME. I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW, TO GO OUTSIDE AND TAKE PICTURES. WHEN I GOT THE VEHICLE THE LEFT DRIVING SIDE TIRE LIGHT CONTINUE TO COME ON, STILL HAVING PROBLEM'S WITH CHANGING THE TIRES LEFT BACK AND RIGHT FRONT. DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MILES WAS ON THERE. I TRIED TO PLACE AN X N THE SEAT BELT AND UNKNOWN OTHER SPACE, BUT IT WOULDN'T LET ME. *JS

TAKATA RECALL MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ON JUST AS ALL OF THE OTHER GBMC 2008 MODELS THAT WERE RECALLED BUT ACCORDING TO MY VIN MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

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'.

MY WIFE FELL ASLEEP RAN OFF THE ROAD STRUCK A UTILITY POLE AND A LARGE DIRT EMBANKMENT. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY NOR DID THE BELT TENSIONERS,SHE HIT THE STEERING COLUMN SO HARD SHE IT BROKE THE COLUMN AND BROKE HER STERNUM. OUR GRANDDAUGHTER WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THE AIR BAG NOR THE TENNSIONERS DEPLOYED RESULTING HER BACK BEING BROKEN IN TWO PLACES AND ALSO HER FOOT WAS BROKEN. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY SENT A MAN TO DOWNLOAD THE COMPUTER INFORMATION THEY SENT ME A COPY OF THE INFO AND LATER CONTACTED ME SAYING THE INFO SHOWED EVERYTHING WAS WORKING PROPERLY. PRYOR TO THE ACCIDENT I HAD THE AUTO IN FOR THE RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO HAD IT IN FOR ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE HEADLIGHTS AND THEY HAD TO REMOVE A LARGE PART OF THE FRONT TO DO THE REPAIR AND DONE A POOR JOB OF PUTTING IT BACK TOGETHER I RETURNED IT AND THEY FINALLY GOT IT RIGHT,IN THE MEAN TIME THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THEY REPAIRED THAT.LATER AFTER THE ACCIDENT I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND QUESTIONED THE BODY SHOP MANAGER ABOUT PUTTING IT BACK TOGETHER PROPERLY AND THEN TOLD HIM ABOUT THE ACCIDENT THEN HE HAD NOTHING ELSE TO SAY. THE AUTO WAS A TOTAL LOSS AFTER A LENGTH OF TIME WIFE AND GRANDDAUGHTER GOT OUT OF HOSPITAL. THIS CAR WAS RECALLED FOR THIS VERY REASON. MY INSURANCE COMPANY PAID MY GRANDDAUGHTER $95,000 FOR HER INJURIES AND COMMENTED THAT THEY WOULD PROBABLY SUE GM TO GET THAT BACK.

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.

CURRENT SYMPTOM: SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE COMES ON PERIODICALLY WHEN DRIVING. THE LIGHT GOES OFF WHEN I TIGHTEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG WIRE HARNESSES. THE NEW FIX PER RECALL BULLETIN NO. 14030B: DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WIRING HARNESS CONNECTORS AND SPLICE AND SOLDER THE WIRES TOGETHER. THE OLD FIX BEFORE THE FORMAL RECALL: DEALERS REMOVED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WIRING HARNESS CONNECTORS AND SPLICED AND SOLDERED THE WIRES TOGETHER. PRIOR TO THE 2014 RECALL, GM THOUGHT THAT ONLY THE PASSENGER WIRE HARNESS WAS FAULTY. IN 2011 I PARTICIPATED IN GM'S VOLUNTARY FIX (JUST THE PASS SIDE) BEFORE THE FORMAL RECALL ' NOW GM STATES THAT MY VEHICLE DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THE CORRECT RECALL FIX OF BOTH WIRE HARNESSES. THEY STRONGLY RECOMMEND I PAY $350 TO HAVE THE WIRE HARNESS REPAIRED THE WAY THE RECALL OUTLINES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S SPEED WAS REDUCED TO 20 MPH AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES. QUIRK AUTO OF BANGOR, MAINE (295 HOGAN RD, 04401) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE SOURCE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 95,000.
