STEERING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. I'VE ALSO TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN MANY TIMES FOR NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN. EVENTUALLY, I LOSE MY POWER STEERING. EVERYTIME, THEY TELL ME THERE IS A LEAK OR STEERING GEAR PROBLEM AND IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED BUT IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. IM TAKING IT IN FOR THE 4TH OR 5TH TIME NOW TO REPAIR THE SQUEAK IN THE STEERING. THIS VEHICLE IS 5 YEARS OLD AND ITS BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE THAN ANY OTHER CAR THAT I HAVE OWNED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE
VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED 4 TIMES FOR WATER LEAK THAT DEALER CAN NOT FIND. WATER THAT HAS LEAKED INSIDE HAS CAUSED A MALFUNCTION IN THE FUSE BLOCK. THIS CAUSED ALL LIGHTS, INCLUDING HEADLIGHTS TO FLICKER AND GAUGES TO READ WRONG INFORMATION. VERY DANGEROUS AND DISTRACTING WHEN DRIVING. COULD LEAD TO MORE SERIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IF WATER CONTINUES TO LEAK IN. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
BASICALLY BOTTOM LINE IS THIS IS THE 4TH MAJOR THING I'VE HAD MY ACADIA IN THE SHOP FOR. THIS REPAIR OF A REBUILT TRANSMISSION IS COSTING ME 3500.00 OUT OF MY POCKET. SUPPOSEDLY THE GM CUSTOMER REP DOES NOT THINK THERE IS ANYTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME BECAUSE MY CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD AND 131000 MILES.. THAT IS JUST BS!!!!! I SPENT 40,000.00 ON THIS CAR TO DRIVE IT LONGER THAN THIS AND FOR ALL THE THINGS TO START NICKEL AND DIMMING ME IS RIDICULOUS. THE MECHANIC AT THE GM CERTIFIED GARAGE TOLD ME THAT GM USED A PRT IN THE TRANSMISSION ON THE 07-10 MODELS OF THE ACADIA THAT COST THEM 1.69 AND THAT THEY KNOW THEY SHOULD HAVE USED A PART THAT COST THEM 39.00, SO THIS IS THE PART THAT IS BREAKING IN THE TRANSMISSIONS AND MAKING THEM JUNK AND HAVING TO BE REBUILT OR NEW ONES PUT IT.. GM DIDN'T WANT TO RECALL THE 07-10 MODELS BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE AFFECTED MILLIONS OF CARS, SO THEY ARE JUST LETTING THE OWNERS SUFFER FOR THEIR STUPIDITY AND LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY. MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT AFTER THE MONEY IS THE FACT THE MY CHILD WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED, HE WAS PANICKED AS HE COULD NOT GO OVER 30MPH ON A VERY BUSY ROAD AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHUT DOWN ON HIM!! HE IS VERY LUCKY THE VEHICLE MADE IT TO A SAFE PLACE AND HE WAS NOT REAR ENDED AS THE CAR JUST STOPPED ON HIM!!! REALLY GM WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO RECALL THESE MODELS AND MAKE IT RIGHT FOR ALL OF US THAT HAVE TO ENCOUNTER SUCH A HIGH EXPENSE?? I REALLY CAN NOT AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE OR THE $3500.00 TO REPAIR THIS ONE, BUT THAT IS MY ONLY CHOICE!!!! *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
MY TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED AT 131,000 MILES AND A COST OF OVER $3400.00 OUT OF MY POCKET. WELL HERE I AM AGAIN... THIS IS THE THIRD MAJOR THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY 2007 ACADIA.. I HAD TO HAVE ALL NEW TIMING CHAINS PUT ON 103,000 MILES, HAD TO HAVE MY SERVICE TIRE SENSOR FIXED AT 112,000 MILES, I HAVE DONE ALL THE RE-CALLS FOR THE SUN-ROOF LEAK, THE HEATED WINDSHIELD FLUID, AND WHATEVER ELSE HS BEEN RE-CALLED ON THIS VEHICLE!!! MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING MY CAR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR JUST STOPPED AND THEN HE COULD ONLY GET IT TO GO 30 MPH. HE IS LUCKY HE WAS NOT REAR ENDED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, IT WILL NOT GO OVER 30 MPH AND REVERSE. I SPOKE WITH THE HEAD MECHANIC AT THE GM GARAGE THAT IS PUTTING A NEW TRANSMISSION IN MY ACADIA AT THE COST OF 3400.00 TO ME, AND HE TOLD ME THAT ALL THE 2007-2010 ACADIA'S HAVE A PART IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT COST GM $1.69 INSTEAD OF USING THE PART THEY SHOULD HAVE USED THAT WOULD HAVE COST THEM $39.00. HE SAID GM KNOW THEY SHOULD HAVE RECALLED ALL THE 2070-2010 ACADIA'S BUT CHOSE NOT TOO BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MILLIONS OF VEHICLES INVOLVED, SO INSTEAD "THANK YOU GM" FOR SCREWING ALL OF US AND NOW WE HAVE TO PAY FOR YOUR MISTAKE AND CUT BACKS.... *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FOR QUITE SOME TIME, THE FRONT RIGHT AIR BAG SENSOR DOES NOT SENSE THAT THERE IS A PASSENGER SITTING IN THE FRONT RIGHT SEAT. WE HAVE HAD THE SENSOR CHECKED REPEATEDLY AT THE DEALER, AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM (SAYING EVERYTHING IS FINE). THE PASSENGERS TYPICALLY ARE OUR CHILDREN, BOTH OF WHOM ARE 5'9" TALL AND WEIGH 120 TO 125 POUNDS. WE USUALLY HAVE TO STOP THE CAR, TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN ON, AND THEN IT WORKS. THIS PAST WEEK, THE SENSOR WAS FLASHING, AND WE GOT A RELATED "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. WE TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS A $1,000 REPAIR TO REPLACE THE FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER SENSOR MODULE. THIS AFTER WE HAVE HAD THIS ITEM CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES (AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING WRONG WITH IT), AND, AFTER A FULL EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE CAR (WHICH INCLUDED AIR BAGS) HAS EXPIRED. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR 2007 GMC ACADIAS FOR IMPROPER SENSORS, BUT OUR CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IN 'GOOGLING' THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET, WE SEE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON OFFICIAL CAR SITES LIKE EDMUNDS, STATING A SIMILAR PROBLEM FOR OTHER ACADIAS. WE BELIEVE THAT GMC HAS KNOWN THAT IT HAS HAD FAULTY SENSORS ON THEIR 2007 GMC ACADIA MODELS, BUT DID NOT MAKE THEIR 2007 RECALL COMPREHENSIVE ENOUGH. WE WOULD LIKE FOR THE NHTSB TO INVESTIGATE WITH GMC HOW MANY OTHER 2007 GMC ACADIAS HAVE BEEN SERVICED FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS. OUR CAR HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY VEHICLE CRASH OR ACCIDENT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, I HAD TO BRAKE QUICKLY BECAUSE OF ACCIDENT AHEAD. AT THIS TIME, THE STABILITRAK SERVICE MESSAGE AND BRAKE MESSAGE STARTED ALTERNATELY FLASHING ON DIC. BRAKE AND STABILITRAK WARNING LIGHTS ALSO CAME ON. THE CAR DECELERATED LIKE WHEN YOU SHIFT DOWN ON A MANUAL TRANSMISSION WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN, NO RESPONSE. TRIED TURNING STABILITRAK BUTTON BACK ON AND OFF, BUT THIS DID NOTHING. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WAS DIFFICULT TO GET OVER TO SHOULDER. I HAD ABOUT 10 MILES TO GET TO MY HOUSE, SO WATCHED THE ENGINE TEMP GAUGE, AND MADE IT HOME. ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED LIT. THE ENGINE GAUGE INDICATED THE CARS TEMPERATURE ROSE ABOUT 15 DEGREES ABOVE WHAT IT USUALLY IS .STARTED THE CAR THE NEXT DAY WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS OR MESSAGES DISPLAYED AND TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC, HE RAN THE CODES ON CARS COMPUTER. IT SHOWED NO ERRORS,WAS A LITTLE LOW ON WATER. HE SAID TO DRIVE IT AND LET HIM KNOW IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN OPERATION FOR ANOTHER 45 DAYS, WITH NO MORE SIGNS OF PROBLEMS. 46TH DAY, THE VEHICLE'S SERVICE MESSAGE FOR STABILITRAK AND BRAKE FLASHED AGAIN, WITH WARNING LIGHTS FOR THESE COMING ON AS WELL, AFTER CAR WAS DRIVEN APPROX. 4 MILES AND PARKED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. THE VEHICLE OPERATED FINE. I PARKED THE CAR AGAIN FOR ABOUT ONE HOUR, WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AFTER ABOUT A MILE THE NEXT DAY THE SAME EPISODE. NOW I'M INTO THE 2ND WEEK OF THE BRAKE AND STABILITRAK WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON AND OFF. WILL CALL THE DEALER BECAUSE AT THIS POINT I'M AFRAID OF ANOTHER GEAR DOWN LIKE THE FIRST INCIDENT AND BEING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC-THAT'S NOT SAFE HOWEVER, I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALER BEFORE ABOUT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR SAYING IT'S OFF WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER SITTING THERE. CHECKING CARS COMPUTER SAID ?CODES? SHOWED NOTHING WRONG? ARE THE "CODES" INFALLIBLE? *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE STARTED OVER REVVING WHILE CHANGING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR, SLOWING DOWN IN BUSY TRAFFIC. THERE WERE MANY IN TRAFFIC WHO WERE BLOWING THEIR HORNS AND SWERVING TO AVOID MY VEHICLE, WHICH AT THE TIME CONTAINED MY WIFE AND THREE SMALL CHILDREN. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO INTO ANY GEAR. FORTUNATELY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED, I WAS ON A PRIVATE ROAD WITH MINIMAL TRAFFIC. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STARTED SKIPPING/CATCHING WHILE ACCELERATING AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE STARTED TO CREEP UP. I ENTERED A LEFT TURN LANE IN ORDER TO PULL OVER. WHEN TRAFFIC CLEARED I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE TO MAKE IT INTO THE PARKING LOT. WARNING BELLS STARTED GOING OFF "SHUT OFF ENGINE" "SHUT OFF A/C" "ENGING OVERHEAT" AND THE TRUCK SHUT OFF. I HAD PICKED UP ENOUGH MOMENTUM AS I HAD BEGUN MY TURN BUT IT WAS STILL LITERALLY A COAST INTO THE PARKING LOT, NARROWLY AVOIDING A T-BONE SITUATION WITH AN ONCOMING MINI VAN. IT WAS SO CLOSE THE MINI-VAN LAID ON THE HORN AND SLAMMED ON HER BRAKES. I COASTED INTO THE PARKING LOT BUT WAS UNABLE TO MAKE IT INTO A SPOT. I TOOK OUT MY KEYS AND OPENED MY DOOR TO GET OUT. THE ALARMS CONTINUED EVEN WITHOUT KEYS IN IT. THERE WAS ANTIFREEZE POURING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO TURN ON AND OFF THE CAR NO LESS THAN THREE TIMES TO STOP THE WARNING BELLS. I CALLED A LOCAL SHOP AND HAD IT TOWED. THEY REPLACED THE WATER PUMP AND A/C BELT. GOT MY VEHICLE BACK TWO DAYS LATER. DROVE TO WORK IN THE MORNING WITH NO ISSUES, HOWEVER COMING HOME IT STARTED TO CATCH/SKIP AGAIN. (I LIVE ONLY 5 MILES AWAY FROM WORK). I HAD MY HUSBAND DRIVE IT BACK UP TO THE SHOP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. WHEN HE GOT INTO IT HE WAS UNABLE TO REVERSE IT; REVERSE JUST SIMPLY STOPPED WORKING. HE HAD TO TURN AROUND IN OUR YARD - ON THE WAY TO THE SHOP (6 MILES AWAY) THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO OVER 30 MPH AND AGAIN SHUT OFF ON HIM WHILE TRYING TO TURN INTO THE AUTO SHOP. THE DIAGNOSIS NOW IS THAT IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. UPON FURTHER ONLINE RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME MODEL/MAKE AND YEAR WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUES OCCURRING ROUGHLY AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE/TIME FRAME. THERE ARE THREE OTHER ACADIAS ALONE AT OUR LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP WAITING TO BE FIXED WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUES. *TR

STEERING
DRIVING IN MODERATE RAIN AROUND A CORNER AT APPROXIMATELY 25MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP FOR 1-2 SECONDS ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH WITH MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE 2 YEARS AGO. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THE PUT A NEW PIECE INSIDE THE WHEEL WELL BUT IT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. IT RECENTLY HAPPENED TO MY WIFE IN THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH ALMOST CAUSED A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CHILDREN WERE IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED MY 2007 GMC ACADIA IN APRIL 2011 USED FROM CARMAX. ON MAY 6, 2011, I HAD IN BRING IT IN BECAUSE I NOTICED WATER AND LOUD WIND NOISE. THEY HAD TOLD ME THAT THE GASKET SEAL ON THE SUNROOF HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE THE WATER WAS LEAKING FROM INTO THE HEADLINER AND INTO MY CAR. AFTER THAT I STILL HAD THE SAME ISSUES BUT HAD NO TIME TO BRING IT TO GET FIXED. THE WATER HAS LEAKED FROM THE MOONROOF AREA, FROM THE READING LIGHT ON THE THIRD ROW, FROM FRONT DIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR AIRBAGS, FROM THE PASSENGER SEATBELT AREA, AND FROM THE HEADLINER ABOVE THE MIDDLE ROW. ON JULY 7, 2012 THE LEAKING HAPPENED AGAIN SO I CALLED GM. THEY SAID THAT THE RECALL OR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION DRAIN TUBE EXTENDERS WERE DONE ON 2-9-09 AT 26,139 MILES AND THAT THE TUBES MAY BE CLOGGED. I WAS TOLD I SHOULD TAKE IT IN TO A GMC DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I TOOK IT IN ON JULY 12, 2012 AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE SUNROOF GASKET THAT NEEDED TO BE CHANGED AND THAT THE TUBES WERE NOT CLOGGED. THEY COULD SEE WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM THE SEAL. SO IT COST ME 240.00 TO HAVE THAT FIXED AND GM SAID THEY WOULD NOT HELP PAY BECAUSE THE ISSUE HAD BEEN RESOLVED WITH THE DRAIN TUBE EXTENDERS. I GOT MY VEHICLE BACK ON JULY 16, 2012 THE GM DISTRICT SPECIALIST ASKED ME IF I WAS SATISFIED WITH THE WORK AND I TOLD HIM I WAS NOT SURE BECAUSE IT HAD NOT RAINED AGAIN YET. WELL, ON JULY 19, 2012 IT RAIN AND THE 240.00 I PAID TO THE HAVE PROBLEM FIXED BY REPLACING THE SUNROOF GASKET SEAL STILL HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM.THIS IS VERY DISAPPOINTING AND NOT SAFE BECAUSE OF THE ELECTRICAL AND AIRBAGS THAT ARE GETTING WET WITH WATER. WILL MY AIRBAGS WORK IN AN ACCIDENT SINCE THEY HAVE HAD WATER COMING FROM WHERE IT SAYS AIRBAG! *TR

STEERING, WHEELS
POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING FOR 5 TO 10 SECONDS AFTER MAKING A TURN THROUGH WATER OFTEN NO MORE THAN A FEW INCHES IN DEPTH. USUALLY OCCURS DURING OR AFTER RAIN, WHEN WATER HAS ACCUMULATED AT INTERSECTION CORNERS OR RESIDENT/BUSINESS ENTRANCES. WHEN THIS OCCURS, IT BECOMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE DIRECTION THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING IN AND HAS ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT TWICE SO FAR. *TR

STEERING
ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN RAINY WEATHER I WAS UNABLE TO STEER MY CAR AND TURN IT BECAUSE WATER HAD GOTTEN ON THE BELTS AND BELTS WERE SLIPPING AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING TO CONTROL THE CAR. I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE BOTH FRONT INNER WHEEL WELL FRONT COVERS REPLACED. THIS WOULD ELIMINATE WATER GETTING ON THE PULLEYS AND ELIMINATE THE SLIPPAGE OF THE BELTS THAT RUN THE POWER STEERING. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN OUT TO CORRECT THIS CONDITION. I HAD TO PAY FOR THIS WORK THAT WAS DONE WHICH I FELT SHOULD BE COVERED BY GMC AS I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I ALMOST HIT TWO OTHER VEHICLES AS A RESULT OF MY NOT BEING ABLE TO STEER MY CAR AND THAT WAS QUITE SCARY. I WOULD NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE WITH THIS MODEL CAR. *TR
