POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
BOLTS FELL OUT OF FRONT DRIVE SHAFT CAUSING DRIVE SHAFT TO BECOME DISLODGED AND HANG DOWN STRIKING ROADWAY. WOULD ACT AS A VAULT POINT AT HIGHWAY SPEED. MINOR DAMAGE TO BOTTOM OF VEHICLE FROM ROTATING/ BOUNCING DRIVESHAFT. DEALER INSTALLED "AN UPGRADED BOLTKIT" THIS MAKES ME THINK THIS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IF THE BOLT KIT IS UPGRADED. *TR

GM INSTITUTED RECALL CAMPAIGN #08207: CUSTOMER SATISFACTION - SUNROOF WATER LEAK-INSTALL DRAIN TUBE EXTENSIONS DATED: AUG 27, 2008. CAMPAIGN WAS PRECEDED BY NUMEROUS TSBS LINKED TO THE SAME TYPE OF WATER LEAK. *** PURCHASED CERTIFIED VEHICLE ON 3/4/09. TSB #08027 PERFORMED PRIOR TO CERTIFICATION AND SALE. SERVICE MANAGER STATED WATER WAS PRESENT IN THE REAR DOME LAMPS AND HEADLINER. RETURNED TO DEALER 3/5/09 FOR WATER IN THE PASSENGER FLOOR AREA. TSB # 080857003A WAS PERFORMED. PRIOR TITLE OWNED BY A COMMERCIAL ENTITY AND MOST LIKELY NEVER RESPONDED TO THESE ISSUES. PICKED UP VEHICLE ON 3/6/09. STILL TAKING IN RAIN WATER. TOOK BACK TO DEALER ON 3/9/09. DOOR SEALS REPLACED AND RETURNED ON 3/11/09. HAS NOT RAINED SINCE THIS POSTING BUT CONCERN IS FOR ELECTRICAL INTEGRITY ON VEHICLE AS WATER LEAKAGE WAS CONCENTRATED NEAR MAIN FUSE BLOCK NEAR KICK PANEL AND MAIN WIRING HARNESS UNDER PASSENGER FLOOR AREA. MOLD IS ALSO A CONCERN AS DEALER HAS NOT REPLACED CARPETING OR HEADLINER BUT ONLY CLEANED AFFECTED AREA. VEHICLE IS USED FOR TRANSPORT OF FAMILY OVER LONG DISTANCES AND AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE DURING ON ROAD USE CAN BE CATASTROPHIC. *TR

THE SIDE VIEW MIRROR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY FOR AT LEAST SIX MONTHS. THE DEALER FROM WHOM THE CAR WAS PURCHASED HAS GONE OUT OR BUSINESS AND I TOOK IT TO A DEALER IN DELRAY BEACH, FL. ON JANUARY 9TH THE DEALER FOUND THE PROBLEM AND ORDERED A NEW SWITCH. IT HAS NOT BEEN RECEIVED, TO DATE. THE DEALER MAINTAINS THAT GM HAS THE PART ON BACK ORDER AND CAN FIND NONE AVAILABLE ANYWHERE IN THE U.S. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE MIRROR CANNOT BE ADJUSTED TO SEE ON-COMING TRAFFIC ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. *TR

GM INSTITUTED RECALL CAMPAIGN #08207: CUSTOMER SATISFACTION - SUNROOF WATER LEAK-INSTALL DRAIN TUBE EXTENSIONS ' DATED: AUG 27, 2008. CAMPAIGN WAS PRECEDED BY NUMEROUS TSBS LINKED TO THE SAME TYPE OF WATER LEAK. AFTER FIRST LEAK IN OCT08, BROUGHT VEHICLE IN FOR THE RECALL AND EXPERIENCED 2 SUBSEQUENT LEAKS SINCE THE INITIAL RECALL REPAIR AS A RESULT OF THE SAME CONDITION. HAVE HAD MOLD IN THE CARPET AND PADDING ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. HAVE HAD SIGNIFICANT CORROSION IN ONE OF THE 2 MAIN FUSE BLOCKS TO THE POINT WHERE SRVC. TECH AT THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT TURN VEHICLE OFF USING THE IGNITION KEY. VEHICLE LEAKS AFTER DRIVING IN RAIN. HAVE SERVICE INVOICES STATING THAT DEALER PERFORMED WATER TESTS AFTER EACH REPAIR AND FOUND NO LEAK YET VEHICLE HAS LEAKED AFTER EVERY REPAIR. HAVE DETAILED COLOR PHOTOS OF SOAKED WIRES, SATURATED HEADLINER, MOLD DAMAGE AND CORRODED FUSE BLOCK. VEHICLE WAS ONLY DRIVEN A TOTAL OF 689 MILES FROM DATE OF THE INITIAL LEAK TO DATE OF THE THIRD LEAK. DURING THIRD LEAK, WATER ALSO DRIPPED FROM VEHICLE'S REAR DISPLAY ONTO THIRD ROW SEATS. I FEEL THAT GM KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FROM THE BEGINNING BECAUSE THEIR AUG08 #08207 RECALL ACTUALLY IDENTIFIED VIN BREAKPOINTS OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. INSTEAD, GM CHOSE TO DEAL WITH IT ON A CASE-TO-CASE BASIS AND IT HAS BECOME A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE WATER DAMAGE CAN AND HAVE ALREADY BEEN FAR-REACHING AND POTENTIALLY COULD INJURE, KILL OR AFFECT THE HEALTH OF OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. CONSIDER OPENING DEFECT INVESTIGATION, ORDER GM TO DO SAFETY RECALL TO FIX PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THIS DESERVES SOME PRESS. *TR

AIR BAGS
OWN A 2008 GMC ACADIA THAT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN AUGUST FOR THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. THE LIGHT FIRST CAME ON IN OCT. OF 2008, AFTER DRIVING ONLY 4000 MILES. THE PROBLEM WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED BY GMC SERVICE AS THE LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY. THE FIRST THOUGHT WAS THAT IT WAS THE RESULT OF FAULTY WIRING, BUT LIGHT STILL CAME ON AFTER WIRING WAS REPAIRED. AFTER THE SECOND TRIP TO GMC, , THE FRONT SEAT AIR BAG WAS REPLACED ON DRIVER SIDE IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HAD TO WAIT THREE WEEKS FOR THE PART TO COME IN THOUGH, AS THEY WERE BACK ORDERED. AS SOON AS I DROVE OFF THE LOT WITH THE DRIVER'S SEAT AIR BAG REPLACED, THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THIS WAS THE FOURTH TIME NOW, AND THE VERY SAME DAY! THIS TIME I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG. IT TOO WAS REPLACED IN HOPES OF SOLVING THE PROBLEM. ONE MONTH LATER THE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN. I ONCE AGAIN NOTIFIED GMC OF THE ISSUE AS I FEEL THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE, AND DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY FAMILY IN THE CAR. I HAVE STATED THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND GMC, SOMETHING HAS TO BE WRONG WHEN THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON EVERY MONTH. I HAVE READ MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND ALSO ONE OF THE AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING DURING A CRASH. THIS IS MY BIGGEST FEAR, AND NOW WILL BE PURSUING OTHER AVENUES TO RETURN THIS VEHICLE TO GMC. *TR

STEERING
BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2007 ACADIA IN JULY 2007. AFTER SEVERAL TIMES OF HAVING IT IN THE SHOP FOR A LEAKY SUNROOF, I THOUGHT ALL WAS WELL. ABOUT A MONTH AGO I NOTICED A VERY LOUD WHINING, ESPECIALLY ON TURNS. TURNS OUT THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS GOING OUT AND DEALERSHIP SAID I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT FIXED PRONTO! SAID IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. SO AFTER PAYING OVER 36,000.00 FOR THIS AUTOMOBILE, I NOW HAVE TO PAY 800.00 TO REPLACE A POWER STEERING PUMP ON A NEW CAR THAT I HAVE HAD FOR A YEAR AND A HALF. WHAT?! THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD PROBABLY FIX IT SOON. I HOPE SINCE THIS IS MY ONLY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. *TR

TO STATE RECOGNITION OF THE FACTS: FWD WHEEL-SPIN WAS REPORTED TO ACHIEVE FORWARD VEHICLE MOVEMENT WITH THE CURRENT FWD SYSTEM ON WET SURFACES OF THIS VEHICLE. THE DRIVERS CORRECTION FACTORS TO REGAIN TRACTION INCLUDES, DE-THROTTLE (BACK PEDDLE THE ENGINE) TO LOWER THE TORQUE LEVEL AND THEREBY HOPEFULLY REGAIN TRACTION WITH THE ROADBED WHEN THE ROAD CONDITIONS EXIST AS REPORTED. REPORTED DETAILS TO GM AND DRIVING EXPERIENCES DRIVING ISSUES INCLUDE: 1.CANA TRACTION CONTROL DEVICE BE ADDED TO RETARD THE THROTTLE AND RPM TO PREVENT WHEEL-SPIN? 2.ARE THE CORRECT TIRES / TIRE COMPOUNDS BEING USED? 3.WILL WHEEL-SPIN ENDANGER THE LIFELINE AND LONGEVITY OF THIS TRANSMISSION OR MOTOR? 4.IS DAMAGE IS BEING INTRODUCED INTO THE MECHANICAL PARTS OF THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION, WHAT CAN WE EXPECT? 5.THE CURRENT IMPLEMENTATIONS REQUIRE THE DRIVER TO FUNCTIONALITY DRIVE REGAINING CONTROL OF THE FRONT TIRES, WHICH IS CONSIDERED ABNORMAL THEREFORE BECOMING A HAZARD TO THE NORMAL TRAFFIC FLOW AS SHOW. 6.THE CURRENT IMPLEMENTATIONS REQUIRE THE DRIVER TO BACK-PEDAL THE THROTTLE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION; THE OBSERVED CONDITIONS OCCUR OVER 2000 RPM OF ACCELERATION, NEXT THE MOTOR / FWD SYSTEMS THEN OVER-SPIN THE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION UP TO 3500 RPM BEFORE THE DRIVER CAN BACK-PEDAL THE THROTTLE, REGAIN CONTROL, AND RESUME ACCELERATION WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REMAIN SAFE IN NORMAL TRAFFIC FLOW.. TO SUMMARIZE GM (KAREN) HAS REPORTED IN A VERBAL PHONE CONVERSATION WITH ME, HELD ON 12/10/08 THAT A STABILOCK TRANSMISSION ON A 2008 ACADIA IS WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS TO HAVE FWD TIRE-SPIN AND OR TRACTION LOSS WHEN ACCELERATION EXCEEDS 2000 RPM ON WET ROADS AND SURFACES AND THE VEHICLE HANDLING CONDITIONS ARE NORMAL. KAREN ALSO STATES SHE HAS NO ISSUES WITH THE REPORTED PROBLEMS AS DESCRIBED, AND MAYBE, I (THE DRIVER LACKS EXPERIENCE DRIVING A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE). *TR

PURCHASED A 2008 GMC ACADIA SLE ON OCT. 23, 2008. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON NOV. 20, 2008 BECAUSE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. INFORMED THAT THE CAM SHAFT WAS BAD, AND THAT THE CAM & BOTH HEADERS WOULD NEED REPLACING. VEHICLE HAS JUST SLIGHTLY OVER 2,000 MILES. DISCOVERED THROUGH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND INTERNET CHAT FORUMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. VEHICLE IS STILL AT THE DEALER, REPAIRS NOT COMPLETE YET. IT APPEARS THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE THE 2007 MODEL YEAR(FIRST YEAR OF PRODUCTION). WHY HASN'T GM ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM? IT APPEARS THAT THEY ARE JUST STANDING BY, AND PUTTING THE BURDEN ON THE CONSUMER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND WAS ADVISED TO BRING THEM THE VEHICLE. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOP, BUT THE INDICATOR WAS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED. AS A RESULT, NO ERROR CODE COULD BE FOUND AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. WHEN SHE RETURNED TO THE REPAIR SHOP, THE INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE MECHANIC ADJUSTED A COMPONENT AFTER INSPECTING THE INFLATOR MODULE AND SEATS, WHICH BOTH APPEARED TO BE OKAY. HOWEVER, WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE REPAIR SHOP WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY ORDERED THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR, BUT DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THE REPAIR SHOP COULD NOT GUARANTEE MAXIMUM PROTECTION WITH THE SIDE AIR BAGS IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. WHILE WAITING FOR THE PARTS TO BE SHIPPED, THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED WITH A RENTAL VEHICLE FOR ONE DAY. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED.
