2008 GMC Acadia complaints

THE RUNNING LIGHTS BURN OUT FREQUENTLY. NOT AT THE SAME TIME. EACH ONE WE'VE REPLACED AT LEAST 4 TIMES, WHICH IS WAY TOO MUCH. WE ARE USING GOOD QUALITY BULBS TOO. NOW THE INSIDE OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IS MELTED WHERE THE BULB SOCKET ITSELF SNAPS IN SO WE CAN'T KEEP THE SOCKET AND BULB IN ITS PLACE. THE REPLACEMENT HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IS NOT CHEAP FOR THIS VEHICLE

2008 GMC ACADIA IS TAKING ON WATER. HEATER BLOWER STOPPED WORKING. LATER, KEY LOCKED IN THE IGNITION. FOUND THE FUSE BLOCK HAD BEEN DAMAGED BY WATER LEAKING FROM THE SUNROOF. DRAIN HOSES WERE NOT PLUGGED. CALLED GMC AND WAS TOLD MY VIN NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT A NORMAL SPEED (55) ON A HIGHWAY, A DINGING SOUND COMES ON AND THE CAR GOES INTO REDUCED POWER MODE, LOSING SPEED. THE STABILITRAK AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING COMES ON. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO CROSS TRAFFIC AT INTERSECTIONS AS THE CAR WILL BARELY ACCELERATE. THERE IS NO WARNING THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN. ALSO, THE CARS BEHIND YOU DO NOT KNOW WHY YOU ARE SLOWING DOWN. THEN WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT, THE LIGHTS GO OFF AND THE CAR DRIVES FINE. AFTER THREE TRIPS TO THE GMC DEALER, THE THROTTLE BODY WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE PROBLEM. GMC HAS ISSUED SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES WARRANTY ON THE 2007 & THE 2009 BUT NOT THE 2008. I DO NOT FEEL THAT THE WARRANTY IS SUFFICIENT. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL BECAUSE AFTER SEARCHING THE FORUMS, I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH THIS HAPPENING. I HAD MY GRANDKIDS IN THE CAR WITH ME AND WE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT WHEN WE HAD THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER WE EXPERIENCED.

THE HEADLIGHT COVERING HAS MELTED TO WHERE THE LIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO REALLY SEE WELL AT NIGHT. CAR HAS 103,000 AND THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS LET WATER INTO THE INSIDE AND. THE LIGHTS ARE ON ALL THE TIME AND THE COVERING IS PLASTIC. WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE NEW. SAW AND HAVE READ REPORTS OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME CONDITION.

RAIN WATER LEAKS IN OVER THE DRIVER'SEAT SATURATING THE ROOF LINER RUNNING DOWN THE WINDSHIELD COLUMN ON TO THE FLOOR. WATER SHORTED OUT THE POWER WINDOW CONTROL. DRAIN LINES ON BOTH SIDES OF VEHICLE ARE CONSTANTLY BEING CHECKED FOR BLOCKAGE BUT NO BLOCKED. INSIDE OF WINDOWS GET ICE DURING WINTER AND HUMIDITY BUILDUP WHEN TEMPS ARE ABOVE FREEZING. I BELIEVE IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY. IT STARTED ABOUT OCT 2013

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY DEAD. KEY CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM IGNITION. THIS HAPPENED EARLIER TODAY FOR A SHORT TIME. ELECTRICAL DID COME BACK ON ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO BE DRIVEN HOME. WHEN SHUT OFF, VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS TOTALLY DEAD. SHIFTER CANNOT BE TAKEN OUT OF PARK. KEY CANNOT BE REMOVED. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH WATER FROM SUN ROOF LEAKING INTO CABIN, POSSIBLY CONTRIBUTING. TRANSMISSION RECENTLY REPAIRED. INTERNAL SWITCH MODULE REPLACED. AUDIO AMP RECENTLY REPLACED, TOTALLY INOP.

TAKATA RECALL I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO HAVE RECALL ON POWER LIFT GATE COMPLETED. (15240). UPON COMPLETION OF RECALL, LIFT GATE BECAME INOPERABLE. DEALER NOW WANTS ME TO PAY $500.00 TO GET IT WORKING AGAIN. LIFT GATE WORKED FINE WHEN VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN IN FOR SERVICE. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT ACTION I CAN TAKE.

LIFT GATE: I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE RECALL ON MY LIFT GATE COMPLLETED ( 15240). UPON COMPLETION, MY POWER LIFT GATE BECAME INOPERABLE. DEALERSHIP THEN WANTED ME TO PAY $500 TO MAKE POWER LIFT GATE OPERABLE. SERVICE ADVISER INDICATED TO ME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST WITH A CUSTOMER WITH THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE AND THEY PAID THE $500. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT ACTION I NEED TO TAKE. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH DETAILS OF THIS COMPLAINT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH FAILED TO RELEASE THE KEY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUSE BOX CORRODED THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE SUN ROOF LEAKED WATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000. UPDATED 04/04/16*LJ CONSUMER STATED ONGOING PROBLEM WITH ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TOTAL FAILURE CAUSED BY FAULTY SUN ROOF DRAINS. DRAINS LEAKED INTO FUSE BOX CAUSING TOTAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. UPDATED 05/25/18*JB

MY 2008 GMC ACADIA LEAKS WHEN IT RAINS, THE FLOOR BOARDS FILL WITH WATER & WATER COMES THROUGH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS CAUSING THEM TO SHORTEN, BLINK. THE POWER WINDOWS GOT STUCK WOULDN'T GO DOWN ALMOST SMASHED MY KIDS HAND. THE WORSE PART DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 65-70 TRAFFIC SLOWS TO 40 AND YOUR VEHICLE DOESN'T GO ALMOST CAUSING THE WORSE ACCIDENT EVER. SEEMS THIS WAVE PLATE, SHIFT SOLENOID IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT ESPECIALLY SINCE I WAS ONLY A FEW MONTHS AFTER INITIAL PURCHASE AND THE TRUCK WAS RETURNED TO DEALER FOR SAME ISSUE SO THAT MEANS THE TRANSMISSION THEY REPLACED THE BAD ONE WITH WAS SO BAD OR REACHED ITS TIME OUT MILEAGE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL IF IT HAPPENED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE (PURCHASED USED) THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN WITH THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION AND ALL THE THREADS IN HAVE READ EVERY OWNER IS EXPERIENCING THIS, SOMEONE WILL HAVE BAD ACCIDENT POSSIBLY DEATH. DOES DEATH HAVE TO OCCUR FOR US TO GET BETTER RESOLVE AND MAKE GMC TAKE CARE OF THIS. OVER $5,000 WAS TOUGH TO CHRISTMAS TIME

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR SUDDENLY WOULD NOT GO ON A HIGH VOLUME HIGHWAY. IT TURNS OUT THE TRANSMISSION SOLENOID BLOCK WENT BAD. I HAVE LOOKED INTO IT AND THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS OF SAME YEAR, MODEL, AND MAKE. MY WIFE AND CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR AND WEREALLY VERY DISTRAUGHT.IF THERE IS SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE SAME VERY EXPENSIVE PROBLEM, WHY NOT RECALL. $4000.00.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION WOULD INTERMITTENTLY BECAME STUCK IN GEAR AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT DRIVE FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND OPERATED AS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND WARMER PLATE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I HAVE HAD SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHTS COME ON ALL THE TIME ALONG WITH SERVICE STABLETRACK AND AND I THINK SOMETHING WITH THE FUEL WHEN I GET GAS IT MAKES WEIRD SOUNDS AND WON'T START WITHOUT PUMPING THE GAS TO GET IT STARTED.

I HAD A RECALL FOR MY DRIVER SIDE, SIDE IMPACT AIR BAG WIRE HARNESS. THE DEALER IN DULUTH MN (KOLAR) FIXED IT BUT LIGHT CAME ON FOR CHECK ENGINE. BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY ARE TELLING ME IT IS THE PPS SENSOR FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS, BUT NOT ON MY ACADIA. THEY WANT $600 PLUS LABOR TO REPLACE. TOTALING AROUND $950. HAD ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE POWER LIFT GATE, STATING THAT THE STRUTS COULD POSSIBLY FAIL PREMATURELY, CAUSING THE POWER LIFT GATE TO DROP. AS I WAS LOADING THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE, THE LIFT GATE SUDDENLY DROPPED ON MY HEAD. I BROUGHT IT TO KOLAR IN DULUTH MN AND TOLD THEM THAT THE STRUTS FROM THE RECALL WERE SHOT AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP AFTER A DAY OF THEM TELLING ME THAT THE RECALL HAD BEEN SUCCESSFUL. A WEEK AFTER I TOOK THE CAR HOME, THE LIFT GATE FELL ON MY WIFE. I COME TO FIND OUT THAT KOLAR NEVER REPLACED THE STRUTS, EVEN AFTER ME TALKING TO THE MECHANIC AND HIM ASSURING ME THAT THEY WOULD BE CHANGED OUT. IT IS NOW SITTING AT THE DEALER WAITING FOR BACK ORDERED STRUTS TO COME IN TO BE INSTALLED.

GOING DOWN THE HIGH WAY THE STABILITRACK LIGHT COMES ON AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR TURNING IT BACK ON IT GOES OUT THE LIGHT HASN'T CAME BACK ON ITS BEEN A COUPLE MONTHS IT ONLY COMES ON WHEN DRIVING FAR. ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES THEY GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR HARD TO STOP THE CAR. MY GIRLFRIEND TOLD ME ABOUT THE PROBLEM I DROVE IT MYSELF TO SEE IF IT WOULD DO IT TO ME NEVER DID TILL TODAY I ALMOST HIT 2 CARS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V415000 (STRUCTURE) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

PURCHASED VEHICLE FROM DEALER WITH 72000 MILES WITH 4YR/48000 MILE WARRANTY. WARRANTY RAN OUT THIS SUMMER, MILEAGE IS NOW 133000 MILES. PROBLEM HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT SINCE EARLY LAST YEAR, BUT MECHANICS WERE NOT ABLE TO HELP BECAUSE PROBLEMS WERE NOT 'PRESENTING' AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD GO ON AND OFF AT DIFFERENT TIMES (JUST AS THE RECALLED SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT DID!). IN DECEMBER 2015, THE CHECK ENGINE BEGAN STAYING ON ALL THE TIME AND THE GEARS DID NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY. THE TCM IS MESSED UP, WHICH IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL ACADIAS, APPARENTLY. WE HAD A VERY SCARY ISSUE ON XMAS EVE WITH THE GEARS DOWNSHIFTING WHILE WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT WOULDN'T LET ME GO OVER 20MPH! WE TOOK IT TO FIRST DEALERSHIP OVER AN HOUR AWAY AND THE GUY CAME OUT WITH A HANDHELD COMPUTER, PUT IN ON OUR CAR, SAID IT IS OUR TCM AND $3800 TO FIX IT. HE NEVER PUT ANYTHING IN THE COMPUTER, SO WE DIDN'T HAVE AN OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS. WE SPOKE WITH GM AND THEY SAID TO GET THE DIAGNOSIS AND THEY WOULD SEE ABOUT HELPING US TO COVER IT. SO, WE GOT THE DIAGNOSIS TODAY, IT IS THE TCM AND NO HELP. THEY SAID IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, GM WON'T COVER IT, IT IS UP TO THE DEALER TO COVER IT, ETC. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD SO MANY DIFFERENT STORIES ABOUT WHY THEY WON'T COVER IT, JUST THAT THEY WON'T. OUR VIN NUMBER IS LITERALLY 6000 OFF OF THE RECALL LIST! IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN A NATIONAL RECALL! DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT? I WOULD LOVE TO BE A PART OF ONE.

THE AIRBAG ON/OFF LIGHTS WOULD BOTH LIGHT UP AT THE SAME TIME SO YOU DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE WARNING "SERVICE AIRBAG" CAME ON. THIS WAS WHILE DRIVING ANY SPEED, ANY TYPE ROAD, ALSO WHILE THE CAR WAS IN PARK. KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION, THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OFF BUT ELECTRICAL WOULD STILL BE WORKING. ALSO THE POWER SAVER MODE KICKED IN AND WE HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE JUMPED.

DRIVING CAR ON FREEWAY AND IT CAUGHT ON FIRE, NO PREVIOUS ISSUES THAT WOULD CAUSE THE FIRE. FRONT OF CAR AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT CAUGHT ON FIRE....UPDATED 01/25/16 *BF

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2008 GMC ACADIA IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER WITH CODES PO752 AND PO700 WHICH ARE THE SHIFT SOLENOID AND THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM. I WAS STUCK IN FIRST GEAR DRIVING THE TRUCK. THE NHTSA REFERENCE #10052215 AND TSB REFERENCE #SB-13120 EXPLAINS THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED WITH MY TRUCK. GMC AND THE DEALER ARE SAYING THAT I HAVE TO PAY APPROX. $2500.00 WHICH IS A 65% TO 35% SPLIT WITH THE DEALERSHIP ( MINE BEING THE 65%). I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN CLEARLY IDENTIFIED BY THE NHTSA. I AM JUST ANOTHER DISSATIFIED CUSTOMER WITH GM AND WOULD LIKE TO ADD MY EXPERIENCE AND TRUCK PROBLEM TO YOUR DATA BASE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST MONTH OR SO. ALSO, THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL THAT GM HAS SENT OUT ON THE WAVE PLATES LOCATED IN THE TRANSMISSION. WHICH THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS OR 120000 MILES. THE WAVE PLATES ARE BEGINNING TO WEAR CAUSING PREMATURE DEBRIS IN THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE SOLENOIDS TO STICK. ALTHOUGH THE DEALER IS SAYING THE WAVE PLATES ARE NOT WORN.

RECEIVED NOTICE FROM GM RE POWER STEERING, DO NOT TAKE TO VEHICLE FOR SERVICE UNLESS PROBLEM IS KNOWN. I TOOK VEHICLE FOR TIRE ROTATION AND MECHANIC NOTICED POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKING, CAUSED DAMAGE TO RACK, PINION, ETC. (ESTIMATE ATTACHED). CALLED GM DEALER AND GM CUST SERVICE, WILL ONLY COVER DEFECTIVE POWER STEERING PUMP NOT THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE PUMP. SINCE GM ADVISED NOT TO GET FIXED UNTIL ISSUE OCCURS (I STILL HAVE POWER STEERING, WAS NOT AWARE OF THE ISSUE UNTIL TIRES WERE ROTATED) WHY SHOULD I BE LIABLE FOR THE ADDITIONAL DAMAGE CAUSED? ALSO, THIS MORNING 12/08/15, WHILE TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL, THE CAR BUCKLED AND STABILTRAK, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH A MESSAGE "POWER REDUCED", ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE 20-25 MILES. THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED APPX. A YEAR AGO AND I FILED A COMPLAINT. THE LIGHT GOES AND OFF JUST LIKE A YEAR AGO. AFTER READING SEVERAL BULLETINS FOR THE 2008 GMC ACADIA, ALL THE ABOVE ISSUES ARE A KNOWN ISSUE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR VEHICLE DEFECTS THAT ARE COMMON IN ALL OF THE VEHICLES.

LETTER FROM CONGRESSMAN HUDSON ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT RE 2008 GMC ACADIA TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *SMD THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE CONSUMER, AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED. HOWEVER, ABOUT 30 MILES IN ROUTE, VARIOUS WARNING SIGNS AND MESSAGES BEGAN APPEARING ON THE DASH. SOME OF THE MESSAGES READ SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, ALL WHEEL DRIVE OFF, CHECK RIGHT FRONT TIRE PRESSURE, AND OTHERS. INCLUDING THE ABS SIGN WAS FLASHING A SCARY AND CAUTIONARY YELLOW SYMBOL.

TEMPORARY AND INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER STEERING DURING MANEUVERING AND TURNING CAUSES SAFETY AND CONTROL ISSUES. DURING THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING EVENT THE STEERING WHEEL REQUIRES A DRIVER TO APPLY MORE THAN NORMAL AMOUNTS OF TORQUE TO GET THE STEERING WHEEL TO ROTATE. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE (REQUIRES MORE THAN NORMAL AMOUNTS OF TORQUE) WHEN THE SPEED OF THE STEERING WHEEL INPUT IS INCREASED TO PERFORM SHARP TURNS OR LOW SPEED MANEUVERING. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT GM WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BASED ON REPORTS FROM CONSUMERS WHO HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM. THEY WILL FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE IF THERE A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP THAT CAN BE RECREATED IN THE GARAGE BY THEIR DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE A COMPLETE FAILURE IN THE SYSTEM IS THEN GOING TO OCCUR WHILE DRIVING ON PUBLIC ROADWAYS AND MAY RESULT IN A CRASH PRIOR TO GETTING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. THIS EVENT MAY HAPPEN 0 TO 5 TIMES A DAY/TRIP.

TRANSMISSION STARTED GETTING SLUGGISH AROUND 88, 000 MILES. VEHICLE WOULDN'T CRANK DUE TO ELECTRICAL STABILIZER, NOW MY SUNROOF IS LEAKING. DEALERSHIP IS GOING TO CHARGE ME $275 DOLLAR TO UNBLOCK THE SUNROOF DRAINS WHAT A RIP OFF WHEN THIS IS THE THREE TIME I HAVE HAD THE DRAINS CLEANED AND THE SUNROOF STILL LEAK. THIS HAS TO BE A GMC PROBLEM THAT THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE. THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL UNDER THE GMC WARRANTY SO THANK GOD I DON'T HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THAT. THE ELECTRICAL MODULES SEEM TO BE OKAY FOR NOW BUT AT ANY GIVING TIME THE VEHICLE MAY STOP WORKING. GMC SHOULD OWN UP TO THESE PROBLEMS AND LOOK OUT FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER FILLED UP IN THE FUSE BOX FROM A FAULTY DRAINAGE FOR THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID, CAUSING THE VEHICLE NOT TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 171,000.

THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. THE MECHANIC INDICATES,THE HOLDING FIXTURES ARE MELTING AND THE ELECTRICAL WIRES ARE MELTING. THIS CONSTITUTES A POTENTIAL FIRE SITUATION. GMC MUST BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE UNDER-ENGINEERED ASSEMBLY.

I MADE A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT FILED HERE UNDER NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10765088. THE LOCAL GARBER GMC DEALERSHIP SEALED THE SUNROOF AND CLEANED THE CLOGGED HOSES THAT DRAIN WATER FROM THE ROOF. THEY ALSO REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG FOR A TOTAL OF $600. THEY GAVE A GUARANTEE THAT THERE WOULD BE NO MORE LEAKS. ON NOVEMBER 18 THE CAR BEGAN LEAKING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AREA AND WATER POURED FROM THE ROOF ONTO THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT WHEN I MADE A FULL STOP. CURRENTLY AWAITING A RETURN CALL FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER OF GMC DEALER. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM. I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN FROM ONE COLLEGE CAMPUS LOCATION TO ANOTHER, IN OTHER WORDS MANY STOP AND GO AND SIDE STREETS AT 30 MPH OR LESS. THE CAR MADE SQUEALING NOISES AS WELL WHICH HAPPENED LAST TIME TOO (SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR).

SUNROOF CONTINUES TO LEAK WATER. MOISTURE MILDEW GROWTH IN INTERIOR. CAR GETS SATURATED EVERY TIME. DRIVER SIDE FLOOR BOARDS FULL OF WATER. ELECTRICAL WARNING LIGHTS CONTINUE TO SOUND AND FLASH...TODAY IT'S THE BRAKE WARNING. WATER IS CORRODING MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM...IT'S NOT SAFE! GMC KEEP IGNORING THIS PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH THIS ISSUE IS AN EPIDEMIC OF COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE WEB! THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL YEARS AGO! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!

RE: DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE FROM A LOYAL CUSTOMER. BEGINNING IN 2014, AFTER NARROWLY AVOIDING SERIOUS FROM THE COLLAPSE OF THE REAR LIFT GATE WHILE LOADING THE VEHICLE, SUFFERING MINOR SCRAPS AND BRUISING. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST GMC SERVICE CENTER AND RECEIVED A QUOTE FOR REPLACEMENT STRUTS. I LATER HAD THEM REPLACED IN 2015 AT MY OWN EXPENSE, ONLY MORE RECENTLY BECOMING AWARE THAT IT WAS DUE TO A PART FAILURE AND SUBJECT TO RECALL AND REPLACEMENT. OF WHICH I WILL FOLLOW UP WITH A REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST. FOLLOWING THAT INCIDENT MY STEERING COLUMN TIGHTENED DURING TURNS FORCING ME TO EXERT EXTREME PRESSURE IN SLOW SPEED TURNS, CREATING A HAZARD TO BOTH MYSELF AND OTHERS. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THE PERFORMING OF STATED REMEDIES PRESCRIBED BY THE GMC SERVICE MECHANIC, THE PROBLEM STILL PERSIST AND MORE RECENTLY IT BEING SUGGESTED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO SUSPENSION STRUTS AND POSSIBLY TRANSMISSION ISSUES SINCE THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT WAS ON WITH FOR CODES RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WERE PRESENT. THROUGH MY OWN RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT ALL OF THESE ISSUES ARE RELATED TO EITHER RECALLED ITEMS OR ITEMS LISTED IN TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS, YET NOW I'M BEING TOLD THAT MY COST WOULD BE $1900 FOR REPAIRS AND AN ADDITIONAL $1500 TO REPLACE A FAULTY NAVIGATION/ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM, DUE TO A SUCK DISC. COLLECTIVELY, I FIND THESE EVENTS, THE MECHANICAL FAILURES AND THE FACT THAT THE BURDEN FOR THESE FAILURES AND EVE

WHEN IT'S RAINING , I HAVE HUGE LEAKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE , WHICH DAMAGES MY CARPET AND CAUSING MOLD GROWTH.NOW IT'S SMELL HORRIBLE AND I HAVE BIG CONCERN ABOUT MY BABIES HEALTH , IT'S UNSAFE TO BE IN THIS CAR FOR LONG TIME.
