TOOK THE CAR IN TO HAVE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIAGNOISED. DEALER ADVISED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDS REPLACEMENT. ESTIMATE IS $3300+ GM KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH TIMING CHAINS IN THE 07-09 ACADIAS, AND HAVE PROVIDED ASSISTANCE TO OWNERS OF THOSE VEHICLES. IT'S CLEAR TO ME THEY HAVEN'T GOT THE PROBLEMS SOLVED YET. 2010 ACADIA 111,000 KM (69,000 MI) SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGED @ 10,000 KM INTERVALS

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS AT A LOCAL DRIVE THRU WINDOW AND I WAS STOPPED, MY CAR WAS IN PARK. I WAS BEGINNING TO LEAVE, CAR IN DRIVE AND I HIT THE PASSENGER FRONT RIGHT TIRE ON THE CURB. SO I LEFT OFF THE GAS, TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO GET OFF THE CURB BUT THE GAS PEDAL "STUCK." IT DID NOT LIFT UP! I TRIED TO PUSH ON THE BRAKES, BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO UN-STICK THE GAS PEDAL BY SHOVING MY FOOT UNDER THE PEDAL AND LIFTING IT UP! I WAS FORCED FULL SPEED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND I HAD MY ENTIRE FAMILY IN MY CAR!! SCARY, AND TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. THANKFULLY WE ARE ALL OK, BUT MY GAS PEDAL SHOULD NOT BE STICKING!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CURRENT RECALL STATES: "THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, EQUIPPED WITH THE POWER LIFTGATE OPTION, HAVE GAS STRUTS THAT HOLD THE POWER LIFTGATE UP WHEN OPEN. THESE STRUTS MAY PREMATURELY WEAR AND THE OPEN LIFTGATE MAY SUDDENLY FALL." MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THE BACK LIFT GATE WILL OPEN AND THEN WITH GREAT FORCE CLOSES DOWN QUICKLY. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY CONCERN AS I WAS STRUCK BY IT ON MONDAY 10/26/2015 WHEN THE PROBLEM INITIALLY OCCURRED. AFTER SPEAKING WITH GMC THERE IS CURRENTLY NO RESOLVE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN, AND NO RESOLUTION IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

MOST OF THE ACADIA'S 2007-2012 ARE AFFECTED BY THE TIMING CHAIN BEING LOSE AND GM HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY. HOWEVER, FOR SOME REASON MINE IS NOT COVERED BUT IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. NOW I AM $3600 OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIR.

STEERING
WHEN MAKING TURNS WITH THE CAR THE STEERING COMPLETELY GAVE AWAY AND WAS VERY HARD TO MANEUVER A TURN CORRECTLY. WAS TAKEN TO THE GARAGE WHO INFORMED US THAT THE RACK AND PINION WAS BAD AND THE POWER STEERING COLUMN. FINDING OUT THAT THIS IS A ISSUE WITH ALMOST ALL GMC ACADIA'S WAS VERY UPSETTING TO LEARN. IF THIS IS A ISSUE WITH THAT MANY OF THEM WHY HAS THERE NOT YET BEEN A RECALL ON THIS. SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL I AM STUCK PAYING WELL OVER $1000.00 TO FIX SO THAT I CAN HOPEFULLY NOT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN. GMC NEEDS TO DO A BUY BACK RECALL ON THESE MODELS AS THEY ARE NOT SAFE. THANKFUL THAT I WAS ALONE AT THE TIME THAT THIS HAPPENED HOWEVER COULD HAVE VERY EASILY CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT HAD I NOT NOTICED WHEN I WAS SOPPED TO MAKE A TURN. HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO BE KILLED OR HURT BEFORE THEY WILL FIX.
