2008 GMC Acadia complaints

2008 GMC ACADIA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE LIFT GATE PROBLEMS AFTER LIFT GATE RECALL REPAIRS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE LIFT GATE NO LONGER OPENED. *JB

THE SERVICE AIRBAG FOR PASSENGER STAYS ON DEALER SAYS THERE'S NO COMMUNICATION WITH THE AIRBAG AND MODULE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE NO FAILURES UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V415000 (STRUCTURE). THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY COMPLETED THE RECALL REPAIR, BUT THE LIFTGATE CAME DOWN TWICE WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE BRUISED SOMEONE'S HEAD. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT REQUIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO SOLUTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE RECALL REMEDY FAILED TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I'M HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS DIAGNOSED BY TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS. I FOUND THAT GMC ANNOUNCED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS SPECIFIC REPAIR. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD GMC MIGHT NOT COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS "TOO NEW," SO I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CAR -- WITH THE PROBLEM -- UNTIL IT BECOMES SEVERE ENOUGH FOR A PROPER CODE TO COME UP ON DIAGNOSTICS. THIS MAKES ME FEEL VERY UNSAFE AND ANGRY. *TR

DUE TO DECELERATION THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. AFTER THAT THE VEHICLE DECELERATES OFTEN DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND SEEMS TO SLIP INTO NEUTRAL. ALSO WILL JUST DIE AT TIMES. NOW THEY ARE SAYING A NEW TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH IT WAS REPLACED 13 MONTHS AGO. CODES P07756 P0797 STUCK ON P0963 P0969 P2728 ROAD TEST BY MECHANIC THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO TAKE OFF IN A HIGHER GEAR AND EXHIBITED LOW POWER. DURING CONTINUED DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR BEFORE FINALLY ENGAGING THEIR DIAGNOSIS INTERNAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE RECOMMEND REPLACE TRANSMISSION. *TR

WHEN IT RAINS, WATER LEAKS FROM THE AIR BAGS. WATER ALSO LEAKS FROM THE LIGHT FIXTURES AND DVD PLAYER IN THE MIDDLE SEATING. WATER ALSO COMES IN SOMEWHERE UNDER THE DASHBOARD/ELECTRICAL PANEL AREA, ONTO THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR. THE LAST TIME IT RAINED, THERE WAS STANDING WATER ON MY PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IT IN THE RAIN AND WHILE IT WAS PARKED. STABLITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ARE CONSTANTLY COMING ON - EVEN AFTER LOOKED AT. - I HAVE PICTURES OF LIGHTS ON. ALSO CONSTANT SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT PROBLEMS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, RAIN WATER ENTERED INTO THE CABIN, WHICH CAUSED SOME ELECTRICAL FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

TAKATA RECALL. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2012 AND IN 2014 I NOTICED THE ANTIFREEZE WAS LOW. I FILLED IT WITH DEXCOOL AND WATCHED IT. OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS THE CAR HAS BEEN IN CLOSE TO 20 TIMES BECAUSE THE COOLANT IS LOW. RECENTLY I NOTICED THE CAR HAD A CLASS III LEAK OF DEXCOOL COMING FROM THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL AREA, I TOOK IT AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE PRESSURE RELEASE AND I HAD OVERFILLED IT. YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING ON THE AUTOBAHN IN SPEEDS OF 90+ MPH THE BATTERY LEVEL DROPPED ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE RIGHT FRONT ENGINE AREA WAS STEAMING. I HAVE TAKEN TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND I AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR WHAT IS WRONG. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO MANY GMC DEALERS EACH SAYING THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THE PROBLEM BUT AREN'T ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. NONE OF THE LIGHTS WERE ON AND THE CAR HAS NEVER OVERHEATED EVEN YESTERDAY THE TEMP WAS STILL NORMAL. THERE IS NOW A PUDDLE OF DEXCOOL WHERE THE CAR IS PARKED AT THE SHOP AND BECAUSE I AM STATIONED IN GERMANY NOW AND CAN'T TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND OFF FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS OR SO UNTIL RECENTLY WHEN IT IS ON CONSISTENTLY. WHEN I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN THE PAST TO BE LOOKED AT AT THE GMC DEALER, THE LIGHT WAS NOT ON SO WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. NOW, THAT IT IS ON, THEY SAY IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, BUT WANTS TO CHARGE ME OVER $900 TO FIX IT. SAYS IT IS NOT UNDER A RECALL, YET OTHER GMC ACADIAS (SAME YEAR) DID HAVE IT RECALLED.

ABOUT TWO MOTHS AGO MY DAUGHTER WAS TURNING INTO THE PARKING LOT AT A SLOW SPEED WHEN THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP. AGAIN TODAY 11-28-16 THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME. AS I WAS TURNING INTO A PLACE OF BUSINESS MY STEERING LOCKED UP AGAIN. BOTH TIMES WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE CAR PULLED IN AND WHEN WE SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT THE STEERING BEGAN TO WORK? THIS CAR HAD NEW TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE IN 2014. STILL HAVE WARRANTY ON MY ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, SMOKE AND FLAMES BEGAN TO EMIT FROM THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND FILED A REPORT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 151,000.

INTERMITTENT "SERVICE AIRBAG" LIGHT. STARTED COMING ON SPRING 2016. WHEN FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SITS IN THE SEAT AND VEHICLE IS MOVING THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL GO ON AND OFF AND THE SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE APPEARS. NOW THE "SERVICE AIRBAG" LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. TOOK IT TO DEALER WHO SAID ITS THE PASSENGER PRESENCE SENSOR WHICH COSTS $1300 TO REPAIR (AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS THIS APPEARS TO BE THE HIGHEST QUOTE). I ALREADY PAID $110 FOR THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. NOW THE CAR HAS FAILED VIRGINIA STATE INSPECTION AND I WILL BE FORCED TO SELL IT OR REPAIR IT. I NEED TO GET THIS FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BUT WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS I DON"T KNOW WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL. MY VIN# DOESN'T FALL WITHIN THE RANGE. THE SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME AS OTHER VEHICLES COVERED WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE RECALL. I WOULD HOPE THAT IT WOULD BE REPLACED UNDER #10085D: CUSTOMER SATISFACTION - AIRBAG READLINESS LIGHT/SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE - REPLACE CONNECTORS - (SEP 1, 2011) OR #10335B: SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT-AIRBAG READINESS LIGHT/SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE-REROUTE WIRE HARNESS/REPLACE CONNECTORS - (MAR 14, 2011) 2007-2009 GMC ACADIA. HOW CAN I GET SOME ASSISTANCE WITH THIS? GMC SHOULD FIX THE SENSOR AT NO COST TO CONSUMER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A TREE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED, BUT A RECURRING NOISE COULD BE HEARD IN THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED FOR THE POWER STEERING FAILURE. THE FRONT END DAMAGE WAS REPAIRED. SEVERAL TIMES PRIOR TO THE CRASH, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS REPLACED. THE DRIVER WAS NOT INJURED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,155. UPDATED 01/06/17*LJ UPDATED 7/5/18*JB THE CONSUMER STATED SAFETY DEFECT WAS REPAIRED. *TR

RUNNING HOT

I HAVE AN AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON AND AND A MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY. TOOK TO DEALER AND THE SAID THEY ALREADY PERFORMED THE RECALL THAT WAS ON THE VEHICLE AND WANTED TO CHARGE ME $675 TO OPEN UP THE DASH AND SEE WHAT IS WRONG. THE CODE THAT COMES UP IS TOO HIGH RESISTANCE IN AIRBAG SYSTEM. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT FOR TWO REASONS, ONE IS HOW DO I KNOW THEY ACTUALLY PERFORMED THE PROCEDURE IN THE FIRST PLACE AND,TWO CAN'T IT BE DEFECTIVE AGAIN. MY CONCERN IS SAFETY IN NATURE THAT MY AIRBAG WON'T OPEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

CHECK ENGINE LITE GOES ON AND OFF APPEARS TO BE TIMING CHAIN. WE HAVE A 2008 GMC ACADIA THAT HAS HAD OVER $4000.00 IN REPAIRS SINCE WE PURCHASED IT IN 2010. THE MOST CURRENT IS THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $3500.00. I HAVE READ ALL 167 COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS POSTED ON THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS WEBSITE REGARDING THE 2007-15 GMC ACADIA. I COMPILED A LIST OF ALL REPORTED PROBLEMS BY YEAR/MAKE OTHER CUSTOMERS REPORTED ON THEIR ACADIAS. GMC HAS EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE TIMING CHAIN FOR 2007 AND 2009, NOT 2008 THOUGH. ALL OF OUR PREVIOUS REPAIRS HAVE BEEN REPORTED BY OTHERS ALSO. 2 OF MY REPAIRS HAD RECALLS AFTER WE HAD PAID FOR THE REPAIR. HAVE BEEN REIMBURSED BY GMC FOR PARTS ONLY FOR STABILIZER KIT, POWER STEERING PUMP ASSEMBLY AND RACK N PINION BUT NOT THE LIFTGATE YET. I CONTACTED GMC CUSTOMER CARE REQUESTING THEY LOOK INTO INCLUDING THE 2008 BUT WAS TOLD IT ISN'T INCLUDED AND ALL THEY COULD DO IS GIVE US A $2000.000 VOUCHER FOR A NEW OR LEASED GMC. (CASE #8-1702070910) I TRIED TO CONTACT GMC AT A HIGHER LEVEL ([email protected]) SENDING THEM A REQUEST TO REVIEW 2008 RECALLS FOR SWAY BAR END LINKS. FRONT AND BACK ROTORS, SUN ROOF LEAKING, FRONT GAS STRUTS, PURGE VALVE, VENT CONTROL SOLENOID AND AMPLIFIER. INCLUDED A COPY OF MY REPAIR LOG AND SUMMARY OF COMPLAINTS ON CONSUMER AFFAIRS FOR 2007-15 ACADIAS. THEY RESPONDED WITHIN 36 HOURS BY HAVING TIFFANY (THE ORIGINAL CONTACT AT GMC) TELLING AGAIN ALL THEY CAN DO IS THE $2000.00 VOUCHER. SO I

2008 GMC ACADIA WITH JUST OVER 30,000 MILES STARTED JERKING A COUPLE DAYS AGO WHEN GEARS WOULD CHANGE FROM FIRST TO SECOND. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC TODAY AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW - I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT GMC HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT THIS AFTER READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS. A $3000 REPAIR IF I'M LUCKY. MY CAR LOOKS LIKE NEW AND IS HARDLY DRIVEN - AND THE TRANSMISSION GOES OUT?? CRAZY

I HAVE A CHECK AIRBAGS ON MY DISPLAY PANEL WHEN IBROUGHT MY CAR TO THE GM DEALER THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO REPLACE THE HARNESS UNDER MY SEAT. I INQUIRED IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME NO. I SEE NOW THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS BUT THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY IT. I AM HOPING THAT YOU COULD DIRECT ME ON HOW I CAN GET GM TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM UNDER YOUR RECALL ORDER SO I WOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO CORRECT THEIR MISTAKE.

RECENTLY WE HAD A LOT OF RAIN AND I NOTICED IT ONCE BEFORE WHEN IT RAINS CONSTANTLY WATER ENTERED THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. HAD THE CAR CHECKED EVERYTHING SEEMED OKAY BUT ON 2 OCTOBER 2016 THE RAIN WAS COMING IN THE CARE THROUGH THE AIRBAGS AND WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF THE ENGINE KEPT RUNNING. THE FOLLOWING MORNING NO RAIN BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T START AND THE KEY GOT STUCK IN THE IGNITION. I FIND THIS TO BE COSTLY WHEN THE BATTERY NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD. JUST NEED TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVE BECAUSE PUTTING MY CAR IN A GARAGE ON RAINY DAYS IS NOT AN OPTION FOR ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED, THE BRAKES SEIZED, AND THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. THE FAILURE RECURRED FIVE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 131,000.

1) A TRANSMISSION SWITCH PLATE ERROR - WARRANTY REPAIR (GMC NEVER PAID MY HOTEL/RENTAL CAR CLAIM. ON HWY WITH FAMILY. 2) TRANSMISSION ISSUE - PAID CLOSE TO $2000. I ASKED IF THIS WOULD LEAD TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE; THEY TOLD ME NO, CAR WOULD BE GOOD TO GO.THE PERSON WHO HELPED ME NO LONGER WORKS AT THE EL PASO DEALERSHIP WHEN I REPORTED HE TRIED TO OVERCHARGE ME. DRIVING ON HWY IN EL PASO WITH KIDS. 3) TRANSMISSION - PAID $4000+ FOR TRANSMISSION (GMC CLAIMS NOT RELATED TO THE PREVIOUS REPAIR); DISCUSSED WITH SERVICE DEPT IF WE SHOULD SPEND MORE MONEY ON THE CAR...THEY TOLD ME THE NEW TRANSMISSION WOULD WORK. (MILEAGE WAS 125K) THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE MOVING FROM EL PASO TO COLORADO SPRINGS...NO SAFE PLACE TO STOP. 4) 2 MOS LATER (NOW) - CLAIM THE TIMING BELT FAILED AND RH TIE RODS NEED REPAIR AND THEY SAY I DECLINED A REPAIR. I NEVER DISCUSSED THIS NEEDED REPAIR AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A $2600 REPAIR FOLLOWING THIS $4000 REPAIR...SO IF THEY MENTIONED IT, THEY NEVER SAID YOU HAVE $6600 WORTH OF WORK IN FRONT OF YOU. I ALREADY WAS CONCERNED ABOUT PAYING $4000 AFTER PAYING $2000. IT HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY. GMC IS MORE THAN AWARE OF THESE ISSUES WITH THEIR CARS AND THEY ARE LEAVING THEIR CUSTOMERS TO DEAL WITH IT. I HAVE A 2002 GMC ENVOY AND NEVER PAID ANYTHING CLOSE IN REPAIRS. THERE ARE SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. WE ARE ALSO A MILITARY FAMILY WHO TRAVELS QUITE A BIT. WE STARTED GETTING ERRORS ON ROAD TRIPS AND WE EVEN HAD THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY REPAIR WHILE WE

I NOTICED A LEAK IN MY DRIVEWAY UNDER MY 2008 ACADIA. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP SO THEY COULD FIND OUT WHERE IT WAS LEAKING. THEY FOUND THE ENGINE LEAKING IN SEVERAL PLACES INCLUDING THE FRONT COVER. IN ADDITION TO THE ENGINE LEAKING, THEY ALSO FOUND THE WATER PUMP TO BE LEAKING AND IN NEED OF BEING REPLACED. WHILE PUTTING NEW SEALS IN THE ENGINE, THEY FOUND THAT THE TIMING CHAINS WERE SHOWING SIGNS OF WEAR AS WELL. ALL IN ALL, THE CAR NEEDED SEVERAL SEALS REPLACED, THE TIMING CHAINS REPLACED, THE WATER PUMP REPLACED, AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP REPLACED. THE CAR ONLY HAS 73000 MILES ON IT!

VEHICLE LURCHES WHEN GOING FROM 10MPH TO 20MPH WAS GOING DOWNHILL WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE ONCE I WAS AT 40-45 MPH IT REVS UP TO 4 AND NOTHING HAD TO COAST DOWNHILL TURN INTO A PARKING LOT AND STOP THE CAR. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO SOLD IT TO ME AND HE WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE SAME ISSUE UNDER SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES. THE DEALERSHIP WILL LOOK AT IT BUT I BOUGHT IT USED FOR MY FAMILY AT 99,950 MILES 8 DAYS AGO

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS BULBS REPEATEDLY BURNED OUT AND NOW THE WIRE HARNESS HAS MELTED DOWN. FUSE FAILED TO TRIP. DAMAGE HAS NOW BEEN CAUSED TO THE ENTIRE DRL ASSEMBLY (MELTING, SEE PHOTO). ADDITIONALLY I AM CONCERNED THAT WHATEVER CAUSED THE BULB AND WIRING TO MELT WILL CAUSE A VEHICLE FIRE AND ENDANGER MY FAMILY. THERE ARE MANY CASES OF THE DRL BULB AND HARNESS MELTING, BUT MY LOCAL GM DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL WHEN I CALLED TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE. GM/SATURN RELEASED A LETTER AUTHORIZING PAID REPAIRS, THAT WAS VALID FROM 2011-2013, BUT THESE VEHICLES ARE STILL ON THE ROAD, AND IT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL REGARDLESS OF WARRANTY STATUS. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS HAVE BEEN RECALLED--GM KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THESE COMPONENTS.

I HAVE HID HEADLIGHT AND BOTH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE SEVERELY MELTED AND CRACKED REFLECTORS. BOTH BULBS WERE MELTED INTO THERE SOCKETS TO THE POINT I HAD TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE SOCKET. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO RE INSERT THE SOCKET INTO THE REFLECTOR HOUSING I WAS UN ABLE TO INSTALL IT AS THE REFLECTOR WAS MISSING OVER HALF OF THE RETAINING RING DUE TO IT BEING MELTED. ONE SOCKET LOOKED EXTREMELY BLACKENED DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT. BOTH LIGHT ARE TEMP INSTALLED AS I AM UNABLE TO CORRECTLY INSTALL DUE TO SEVERELY MELTED REFLECTOR.

WHILE DRIVING AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS IN 90+ DEGREE WEATHER, THE 2008 GMC ACADIA EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. ENGINE QUIT ALONG WITH ALL ELECTRONICS, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. LET CAR SIT FOR 20 MINUTES AND IT STARTED UP AND DROVE FINE FOR A WEEK OR SO THEN THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WITHIN 5 WEEKS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND TWO DEALERSHIPS. OF THOSE DEALERSHIPS, WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL AUTONATION GMC DEALER 3 TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF 2 WEEKS AND ALL GROUPS WHO HAVE LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND AND "CODES" AFTER RUNNING THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS. WE HAVE REQUESTED AN ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER TO BE ORDERED FROM AUTONATION GMC PARK MEADOWS (CO) BUT HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY AND INTERSTATE SPEEDS. HAVE RESEARCHED OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME SITUATION ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHOOK, STALLED, AND SHUT OFF. THE STABILITY AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, AND RESTARTED IT AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO RESET THE "STABILITY AND TRACTION CONTROLS", BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

SERVICE AIRBAG COMES ON AND OFF AT TIMES THIS WAS REPAIRED AT ONE TIME BUT NOW IT'S COMING BACK ON AGAIN

OIL CHANGES AT DEALER PERFORMED EVERY 3K MILES. AT 88K MILES, SHORTLY AFTER DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. FULL DIAGNOSTICS PERFORMED BY LOCAL DEALER STATED TIMING CHAIN BUFFERS WERE BEGINNING TO FAIL. EST COST $3500. ADVISED THAT SINCE THE LIGHT COMES ON/OFF INTERMITTENTLY, OKAY TO WAIT TO SEE IF PROBLEM WORSENS, WHICH MAY BE MANY YEARS, IF EVER. AT 92K MILES, WHILE ON HIGHWAY, THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T SHIFT GEARS, RPM'S CLIMBED, PULLED OVER VEHICLE WHERE IT STALLED AND WOULDN'T RESTART. VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER, WHERE TESTED AND DETERMINED THAT ENGINE NEEDS REPLACEMENT DUE TO LOUD METALIC ENGINE NOISE AND METAL SHAVINGS IN OIL. ESTIMATED REPAIRS FROM TWO GMC DEALERS OF $6600 TO $7600 FOR RE-MANUFACTURED ENGINE. LOCAL DEALERS HAVE STATED THAT TIMING CHAIN BUFFERS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2008 GMC ACADIA AND VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED, BUT IS NOT DUE TO THE COST OF ENGINE REPLACEMENT. CONTACTED GMC (BELVA - SENIOR CASE ANALYST) TO DESCRIBE CASE AND THEY RESPONDED THAT THEY WILL NOT ASSIST IN THE REPAIRS BECAUSE: 1) VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED - STATING THAT ALL SUCH PURCHASES ARE 'AS-IS' FROM DEALER AND ITS UP TO THE CONSUMER TO DO DUE-DILEGENCE BEFORE PURCHASING, 2) VEHICLE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRED BY DATE SHORTLY BEFORE PURCHASE, AND 3) POWER TRAIN WARRANTY IS NOW 3 YEARS PAST THE DATE, REGARDLESS OF WHEN ISSUE FIRST APPEARED. GMC SENIOR ADVISOR ALSO STATED THE SHE RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED GM PRODUCT, AND THE ENGINE FAILED SHORTLY AF

PURCHASED NEW, HAVE HAD THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS 2011 :WATER PUMP FAILED, AND ENGINE OIL LEAK NEW PUMP AND GASKETS,2012: OIL PRESSURE SENSOR REPLACED, 2013: WAVE PLATE BROKEN SENT METAL THROUGH TRANSMISSION MAJOR TRANSMISSION REPAIR, FRONT AND REAR A/C FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. 2014: MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING - REPLACED. 2016: PURGE SOLENOID STUCK OPEN WAS REPLACED, OIL LEAK- TIMING COVER LEAKING (DID NOT REPLACE- TOO EXPENSIVE)- MULTIPLE CALLS TO GMC AND DEALING WITH THE DEALER NOT SATISFIED AND FEEL THE CAR IS A SAFETY RISK.

I NOTICED THAT WHEN DRIVING ON AN EXPRESSWAY AND WOULD ATTEMPT TO PASS A SLOWER MOVING VEHICLE, AS I WOULD MOVE INTO THE PASSING LANE AND ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR WOULD HESITATE FOR A FEW SECONDS, LOSE SPEED, THEN SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFT AND ACCELERATE AT AN UNEXPECTED RATE. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE CAR WOULD UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, THEY RESPONDED THAT THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG, BUT THE WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING WAS CHARACTERISTIC OF THE 6-SPEED TRANSMISSION ON THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED AND I FOUND IT DANGEROUS. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE AND THE DEALER'S REMEDY WAS TO "RESET THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER." DURING THIS TIME, I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE "SERVICE STABILITRAC AND TRACTION CONTROL" WARNING WOULD COME ON. IT DOSEN'T MATTER IF YOUR DRIVING OR IDLE OR IN PARK THESE WARNINGS AND PROBLEMS STILL EXIST.THE DEALER FIXED ONE WHEEL SENSOR BUT THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. THE SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHTS STILL COMES ON THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THAT I HAD IT FIXED BUT WARNING STILL COMES ON. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD SO MANY RECALLS AUTOMATIC LIFT GATE, AIR BAG WARNINGS, POWER STEERING PUMP AND HOSE. THE RACK & PINION WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED IN THE VEHICLES SHORT LIFE SPAN, ALL OF THE SUSPENSION PARTS BUSHINGS WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT SOME POINT SO THIS MEANS CONTROL ARM, SWAY BAR SWAY, SWAY BAR LINKS TOE LINKS OF COURSE WITH THESE ISSUES YOU WILL HAVE TO REPLACE STRUTS AND SHOCKS, ETC...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHILE THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START WHEN PROMPTED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A FAULTY PART WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 131,000.

MY 2008 ACADIA IS NOW ON IT'S 4TH THERMOSTAT. I'M ABOUT TO SEND IT IN TO HAVE IT REPLACED. MY SUV KEEPS OVERHEATING. SO FAR I HAVE REPLACED THE RADIATOR, THERMOSTAT, AND STABILITY TRACK. IS THERE ANY ONE ELSE WHO HAS THIS PROBLEM?

2008 ACADIA PURCHASED NEW. NOTICED POWER STEERING BECOMING MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT AT LOW ENGINE SPEED OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. FLUID LEVEL OK. TOOK TO DEALER TO ASSESS AND QUOTE. THEY SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ACADIA, TRAVERSE, OUTLOOK, AND ENCLAVE. THEY SAID IT NEEDED POWER STEERING PUMP, RESERVOIR AND STEERING RACK, ABOUT 1,100 DOLLARS TO FIX. THEY SAID GM HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 120,000 AND MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED. 152,000 ACTUAL MILES. I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT JUST HOW COMMON IT IS, AND THAT THE WARRANTY COVERAGE ACTUALLY WAS TO 150,225 MILES. I CALLED THE GMC CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT CENTER AFTER STEWING OVER THIS FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. THEY SAID THAT SINCE I WAS BEYOND THE ALLOWED MILEAGE, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I WAS TALKING WITH MY BOSS ABOUT THIS. HE HAS A 2009 ENCLAVE WITH 60K MILES. HE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH STEERING, AND DEALER TOLD HIM IT WAS NOT COVERED. I SHOWED HIM WHAT I HAD FOUND. HE IS GOING BACK TO THE DEALER WITH DOCUMENTATION. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN STEERING IS ENTIRELY MANUAL AT LOW ENGINE SPEED FOR INSTANCE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT OR DRIVE. EVEN TURNING A CORNER WHEN NOT ACCELERATING. PARALLEL PARKING IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. GM SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THESE VEHICLES. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO PAY TO GET THIS FIXED. GM HAS JUST LOST A CUSTOMER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE SUN ROOF COMPARTMENT, IT WAS FILLED WITH WATER WHICH AFFECTED THE RADIO, TURN SIGNAL VOLUME, AND RADIO. IN ADDITION, THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS THAT RAN FROM THE DOOR INTO THE SIDE WALL OF ALL FOUR DOORS, WERE FILLED WITH WATER. THE VEHICLE ALSO FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BLOWING AMPLIFIER AND BATTERY FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,153.

EITHER WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR OR WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION THE STABILITRAK AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING COMES ON- SOMETIMES IT COMES WITH AN ENGINE POWER REDUCED WARNING AND THE CAR DOES NOT DRIVE WELL UNTIL I CAN PULL OVER AND TURN IT OFF- WAIT A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND SOMETIMES IT CLEARS WHEN I TURN IT BACK ON AND OTHER TIMES THE WARNING IS STILL THERE. MORE RECENTLY IT IS ALSO HAVING THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT COME ON AND I REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKE PADS ONLY 2 MONTHS AGO SO I KNOW ITS NOT MY BRAKES. NEED THIS FIXED ASAP!

I JUST REPLACED MY LEFT SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHT FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS. WHEN I PULLED OUT THE OLD BULB, IT LOOKED BURNT ON THE TIP OF INSTEAD OF THE FIRST TIME I TREPLACED IT A YEAR AGO WHEN THE WIRES BECAME LOOSE AND BURNT OUT LIKE A TYPICAL LIGHT BULB. TODAY IS THE SECOND TIME WITHIN A WEEK THAT THE SPEAKERS WENT OUT AND THERE WAS NO SOUND COMING OUT AT ALL. THE MAIN FUSE IS GOOD AND I DRAINED THE WATER FROM THE CONNECTORS ON ALL THE DOORS. THERE SEEMS TO BE A SHORTAGE SOMEWHERE IN THE SYSTEM BECAUSE IT WOULD TAKE 5-10 MINUTES FOR THE SOUND TO COME BACK ON. DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY SOLUTIONS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM DIY INSTEAD OF TAKING IT TO THE DEALER?

I HAVE A 2008 GMC ACADIA AND MY PASSENGER LOW BEAM KEPT GOING OUT EVERY 2-3 MONTHS. FINALLY AFTER REPLACING IT 5 TIMES, WE FOUND OUT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS GETTING SO HOT IT ACTUALLY MELTED THE HARNESS. I'VE READ SEVERAL TIMES THAT THIS IS A NORMAL THING, BUT GMC REFUSES TO DO A RECALL ON THE HEADLIGHTS. NOT ONLY IS IT DANGEROUS TO ONLY HAVE 1 LOW BEAM WORKING, BUT IT IS A FIRE HAZARD IF YOU JUST KEEP REPLACING THE BULB. MY WIRING HARNESS IS SO BAD THAT IT DISINTEGRATED IN MY HAND THE LAST TIME I WENT TO CHANGE A BULB. THAT'S HOW I FOUND OUT THERE'S A MAJOR PROBLEM.

I OWN A 2008 GMC ACADIA I HAVE HAD IT USED SINCE JAN 2015 I HAVE HAD IT IN DEALERSHIP ALMOST EVERY 3 MONTHS SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I WAS RECENTLY DRIVING AND HAD A FIRE IN THE PASSENGER HEATED SEAT WHERE MY DAUGHTER WAS SITTING AND IT BURNED A SMALL HOLE IN HER JEANS SO FAR GMC IS CHECKING TO SEE IF ITS A DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT FAILURE OR NOT? IN THE MEAN TIME MY SUNROOF HAS QUIT WORKING AND NOW MY ROOF IS LEAKING AND MY CAR SMELLS LIKE MOLD. THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS GOING CRAZY WITH FLASHES OF INTERIOR LIGHTS. I ALSO HAD THE VEHICLE STOP ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF PARKING AND FOUND OUT THE POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY NEED TO HAVE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES BECAUSE OUR CHILDREN RIDE WITH US AND THEY ARE UNSAFE ESPECIALLY NOW THAT HER JEANS ARE BURNED AND SHE HAS A SMALL PINK SPOT FROM THE HEATED SEAT. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TODAY LIKELY THE SEAT WONT BE REPLACED AND IF ITS NOT I WILL BE CONTACTING ME A LAWYER. MY CHILDREN S SAFETY COME FIRST. HOPEFULLY THE WILL ALSO DO A RECALL ON THE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AND THE SUNROOF LEAKING BECAUSE OUR VEHICLES ARE NOT SAFE AFTER WATER GETS ONTO ALL THE ELECTRICAL DEVICES AND SHORTS OUT AND MAY CAUSE A FIRE NEXT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE POWER BUSTER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER WAS LEAKING DOWN FROM THE SUN ROOF INTO THE ELECTRICAL FUSE BOX, CAUSING CORROSION AND THE VEHICLE WOULD FAILED TO TURN OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER LEAKING INTO THE FUSE BOX WAS CAUSING THE VEHICLE NOT TO TURN OFF DUE TO THE CORROSION. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000. UPDATED 06/29/16*LJ UPDATED 08/02/16.*JB

I HAVE NOTICED BEFORE AFTER A RAIN THE WINDSHIELD WOULD FOG REALLY BAD SO I FIGURED I HAD A SMALL ROOF LEAK, HOWEVER I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS A MAJOR LEAK. I OPEN THE DOOR AND NOTICED BOTH FRONT FLOOR BOARDS ARE WET. I VACUUM IT OUT AND GET ABOUT 8 GALLONS OF WATER OUT. IT WOULDN'T START SO AFTER LOCATING THE BATTERY IN THE PASSENGER FLOOR BOARD THE BATTERY BOX WAS FULL OF WATER. I VACUUM THAT OUT. I LET IT DRY FOR A WHILE AND JUMP IT OFF. IT CRANKED FINE AND I LET IT IDLE FOR A WHILE. I CLOSED THE DOORS WITH WINDOWS DOWN WITH IT STILL RUNNING AND PUT A FAN IN THE FRONT SEAT. IT WAS SITTING IN MY GARAGE RUNNING, WITH A BOX FAN IN THE FRONT SEAT BLOWING, I SHUT THE DOORS WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN, AND ABOUT 30 SECONDS AFTER I SHUT THE DOOR I AM STANDING BESIDE IT AND HEAR A LOUD EXPLOSION. I LOOK OVER AND BOTH SIDE CURTAIN LIKE AIR BAGS HAD DEPLOYED. THE CAR SHUTS OFF, THE FLASHERS COME ON. AFTER I GAIN MY COMPOSURE FROM BEING SCARED TO DEATH FROM THE NOISE, I REACH IN AND TURN THE KEY OFF. AFTER THAT I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY BECAUSE I WAS THEN AFRAID IT MAY BLOW MORE AIR BAGS OR SHORT OUT AND CATCH FIRE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND NOTICE THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ROOF LEAKS, THERE ARE A FEW TECHNICAL BULLETINS THAT GM HAS ABOUT IT AS WELL, HOWEVER THERE WAS NO RECALL SINCE IT ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE. WELL, IF THE ROOF LEAK IS GETTING ENOUGH WATER IN THE VEHICLE THAT IT CAUSES THE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY FOR NO REASON, I BELIEVE THIS IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN. I AM JUST GRAT

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO IDLE SPORADICALLY. EVENTUALLY, IT STARTED TO IDLE AND NOT SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR. FINALLY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP DETERMINE THE CODES ASSOCIATED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND FOUND P0700 AND P0776 CODES. THESE CODES REFERENCE A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED IN THE 2008 GMC ACADIA. THE WAVEPLATE MAY BE BROKEN, AND CAUSE ISSUE IN THE 3RD, 5TH, AND R GEARS. SO, NOW THE VEHICLE DOESN'T SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR, AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET ($4K) FOR AN ISSUE THAT GM KNOWS IS AN ISSUE, AND HAS SINCE CORRECTED IN THE LATER YEAR MODELS. I CALLED GM TO SEE IF THEY WOULD OFFER ANY TYPE OF ASSISTANCE, AND WAS TOLD NO, DUE TO THE MILEAGE ON MY VEHICLE. I AM CURRENTLY AT 143,000 MILES. REGARDLESS OF THE MILES ON MY VEHICLE, IF GM PLACED A FAULTY PART IN THEIR VEHICLES, THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PLACE A RECALL TO FIX IT, AND NOT HAVE IT BE THE CONSUMER'S RESPONSIBILITY!
