UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CAR LEAKS ALL AT THE TOP OF THE CAR WHEN IT RAINS. THE SUNROOF DOES NOT LEAK BUT AROUND THE WINDSHIELD LEAKS, IN THE BACK SEAT BY THE LIGHTS IT LEAKS AND AT THE EMERGENCY BREAK IT LEAKS. MY CAR GETS FLOODED AND THE FLOORING IS GETTING NASTY AND MOLDED. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE MOVING OR LET IT SIT ALONE, WHEN IT RAINS LIGHT OR HARD THE CAR FLOODS ON THE INSIDE. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN FEBRUARY 2016 AND IT HAS LEAKED SINCE I FIRST GOT THE CAR BUT ONLY GETTING WORSE.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I WAS EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS DRIVING MY VEHICLE. IT WAS RIDING ROUGH AND MAKING A LOUD NOISE WHEN I ACCELERATED, SO I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND I GOT SPARK PLUGS AND AN OIL CHANGE-STILL WAS RIDING ROUGH. I WENT BACK AND GOT A CAM SHAFT POSITION REPLACED-STILL NOTHING CHANGED. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC. HE SAID IT WAS AN O2 CENSOR. CHANGED IT AND NOTHING CHANGED. NO ONE COULD TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG OR WHAT THE NOISE WAS. FINALLY ONE MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY BC THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. GOT IT TOWED TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC AND THAT'S WHEN I FOUND OUT IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I WAS GETTING QUOTES FOR $2000-$2500. FINALLY ONE PLACE TOLD ME TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL. I CALLED GMC. THEY SAID THERE IS A RECALL ON THE TIMING CHAIN. THEY CONNECTED ME WITH A LOCAL GMC DEALER WHO INFORMED ME AFTER EVALUATING MY VEHICLE THAT IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY AND 5000 MILES OVER THE LIMIT. WELL I'M STILL PAYING FOR THIS VEHICLE AND I OWE $5000 ON IT. CLEARLY I WAS SOLD A LEMON BUT WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS NOW?

POWER TRAIN
AFTER PARKING, MY ACADIA WOULD NOT SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. A MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASH, 'ACTION REQUIRED, SHIFT TO PARK'. A CONSTANT CHIME WAS SOUNDING ALSO. I RESTARTED THE CAR, SHIFTED OUT OF PARK, BACK INTO PARK, TRIED TO SHUT OFF AGAIN...SAME THING....4X'S!!! I WENT RIGHT OVER TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR AND EXPLAINED WHAT WAS HAPPENING ( COULDN'T SHUT OFF THERE EITHER). SERVICE MANAGER KNEW IMMEDIATELY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BUT SAYS THE PART (GEAR SHIFT) IS ON BACKORDER AND HAS NO IDEA FOR HOW LONG!!! WHAT??? WHY ISN'T THIS A RECALL? I'VE READ QUITE A FEW OF THIS SAME COMPLAINT SO I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS ISN'T A RECALL ALREADY ESPECIALLY IF THE GEAR SHIFT REQUIRED TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS ON BACKORDER, IT'S OBVIOUSLY A BIGGER ISSUE THEN 1 OR 2. SO FOR NOW , I JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND 'KEEP PLAYING WITH THE GEAR SHIFTER UNTIL IT GOES OFF' AS I WAS TOLD UNTIL THE PART COMES IN! HOW CRAZY IS THIS

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
MY HUSBAND AND I WERE IN A VERY SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT AND I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE OUR AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WE WERE TRAVELING ON A DIAGONAL STREET IN CHICAGO AND HE WAS GOING STRAIGHT. MY RIGHT FRONT FENDER HIT HIS RIGHT FRONT FENDER. HIS AIR BAGS DEPLOYED BUT OURS DID NOT. THE ER TOLD ME IT WAS LIKELY I HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT COULD TAKE UP TO NINE MONTHS TO HEAL FROM HAVING WHIPLASH IN MY SHOULDERS AND NECK. MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A CONTUSION. WE HIT REALLY HARD I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 25 MPH AND HE WAS PROBABLY DOING 45 MPH. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. MY AIR BAGS MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE MADE THE DIFFERENCE BUT I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. MY HUSBAND JUMPED THE CAR OFF AND ONCE STARTED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH AN ERROR CODE OF P062F. NOW, IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY BUT IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENTLY IN LAST WEEK' IT WILL FAIL TO START THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL APPEAR WITH THE SAME ERROR CODE, WHILE DRIVING AT TIMES IT WILL BEGIN TO STALL UNTIL THE GAS PETAL IS ENGAGED AGAIN. PER THE GMC DEALERSHIP IT'S THE CHASSIS ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE HOWEVER MY VEHICLE YEAR MODEL DOESN'T FALL UNDER THE RECALL, BY ONE YEAR.

SEATS
DRIVERS SIDE SEAT SQUEAKS WHEN DRIVING AND BRAKING. BASICALLY WHENEVER THE SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH. MECHANIC SAID HE CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT DOES IT BUT HE THINKS IT'S THE MOUNTING TRACK ON THE BASE INTO THE CONNECTION TO THE BACKREST. SAID MOST LIKELY AN ENTIRE SEAT OR FRAME OF SEAT WOULD NEED REPLACING.

AIR BAGS
SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT ALWAYS ON. REPORTED ISSUE TO GMC THEY STATED THAT YES THE 2008 GMC ACADIA HAS A SAFETY RECALL FOR CERTAIN VIN NUMBER AND THAT ALTHOUGH MY ACADIA HAS ALL THE SAME EQUIPMENT AND AIRBAGS AS THE RECALLED ACADIA'S BUT BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE LIST THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST AND THAT FOR THEM TO REPAIR THE ISSUE WHICH IS SPECIFIED BY THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN SPECIFIED FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL WOULD BE AT MY COST. IF THE RECALL DOESN'T AFFECT MY VIN NUMBER WHY IS THE REPAIR EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE RECALL? THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AT ALL TIMES

ENGINE
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DUE TO JUMPED TIMING 3 DAYS AFTER WE HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM A DEALERSHIP AND A LITTLE OVER A YEAR LATER IT HAD JUMPED TIMING AGAIN SO NOW I HAVE TO COME UP WITH 800 TO TEAR DOWN THE MOTOR SO THEY CAN PROPERLY DIAGNOSE IT. SO I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY FOR THAT SO NOW I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT I AM PAYING FOR AND CANNOT DRIVE. IT IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AS WE SPEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY AND WE WERE GETTING READY TO LEAVE WHEN IT HAPPENED. BOTH TIMES. THE DATES IT HAPPENED WERE 1/5/2018 WITH 137000 MILES ON IT AND THE OTHER DATE WAS 2/5/2019 AND IT HAS 152045 MILES ON IT.
