POWER TRAIN
WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER ON ITS OWN, AND DOWN SHIFTS TO FIRST GEAR AT TIMES, WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO SHIFT INTO HIGHER GEARS. ALSO AT TIMES, YOU PULL UP TO A INTERSECTION, AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PULL OFF UNDER ITS OWN POWER. VEHICLE HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT, WITH A 100,000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. GM SAYS THE WARRANTY WENT OUT IN OCTOBER OF 2012. THE VEHICLE HAS MULTIPLE HISTORY OF GM REPROGRAMMING THE TRANSMISSION, AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED REGULAR. *TR

POWER TRAIN, AIR BAGS
1. TRANSMISSION GOING OUT AT 67K MILES AND APPEARS TO BE VERY PREVALENT WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. VERY DANGEROUS AS THE CAR WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR AT ANY GIVEN TIME AND BASICALLY LEAVES YOU STUCK IN NEUTRAL IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY. 2. SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON AFTER DEALERSHIP CLAIMS TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. IF IN A CRASH, HAVE NO IDEA IF WE WILL BE PROTECTED. NOT A COMFORTABLE FEELING. *TR

STEERING
THE STEERING STARTED MAKING GRINDING NOISE WHEN I TURN IT TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT AT THE AROUND 38000 MILES ON THE CAR. I CONTACTED GMC DEALER THEY DIDN'T CARE ABOUT IT. AND I CAN SEE ON THE ACADIA FORUMS THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I'M AFRAID OF STEERING WHEEL BEING STUCK AND I HAVE MY FAMILY IN THE CAR. GMC HAS TO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST. WHY DO WE ALWAYS HAVE TO ACT AFTER PEOPLE ARE DEAD. IS THERE ANYONE IN THE GOVERNMENT THAT ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT US. GMC KNOWS THIS CAR HAS A PROBLEM BUT DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS STUPID. *TR

NO SOUND...TOOK TO GMC DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD US IT WAS THE RADIO. REPLACED RADIO($450), STILL DIDN'T WORK. DEALERSHIP STATED AMP BLEW AND NEEDED NEW AMP ($400)...THOUGHT IT WAS THE AMP THE ENTIRE TIME DUE TO THE CD PLAYER WORKING VISUALLY, BUT NO SOUND IN ENTIRE VEHICLE FOR ANY ELECTRONIC FEATURE. SHIFTING RANDOMLY WHEN GOING DOWN HIGHWAY. GAS MILEAGE HORRIBLE-- ABOUT 14 TO 14 .5MPG-- MUCH WORSE THAN WHEN WE FIRST GOT IT AT 48,000...LOVE THE LOOK AND WHEN IT WORKS....WHY IS THERE NO RECALL WILL THE POWER STEERING??

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 45MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER TO THE WHEELS, THE ENGINE RACED AND THE TRANSMISSION APPEARED TO FAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF, AND RESTARTED WITH ONLY 1ST AND 2ND GEAR AVAILABLE AND WAS MOVED TO SAFETY. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 55,000 MILES. A P0776 CODE WAS PULLED FROM THE COMPUTER AND THE GMC DEALER CHECKED THE PROBLEM AND CONCLUDED THAT THE 3,5,R WAVE PLATE IN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WILL REQUIRE A FULL REBUILD. WITH THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM, I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN GM FOR THEIR LACK OF CUSTOMER SUPPORT IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE 6T70 TRANSMISSIONS, AS THIS ISSUE IS OCCURRING IN 2007-2009 GMC ACADIAS, BUICK ENCLAVES, CHEVROLET TRAVERSES AND THE SATURN VUES. DO SOMETHING GM! *TR

THE CAR TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED AS SOON AS THE CAR TURNED 5 YEARS. THE CAR HAS BEEN RARELY DRIVEN. AFTER CHECKING WITH MANY GARAGES I HAVE FOUND THAT THE GMC ACADIA 2008 MODEL HAS A BEEN KNOWN FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURES BY DESIGN AND IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE. THIS IS A RIP OFF. *TR

WATER LEAKS IN FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARDS, HARD TO TELL WHERE THE LEAK IS OCCURRING. WATER LEAKS EVERYTIME IT RAINS AND DRIPS DOWN ONTO THE WIRING AND AIRBAGS. THIS CAUSES THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS TO BECOME SLICK POSING A SAFETY ISSUE. WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED AND THIS IS THE FIRST FEW TIMES WE'VE NOTICED IT. WATER LEAKING ON THE WIRING SYSTEM CANT BE GOOD EVERYONE KNOWS WATER AND ELECTRICITY DO NOT MIX. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THERE WAS A "CLUNK" UPON ACCELERATION FROM STOPPED, SOON AFTER VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. WAVE PLATE WAS DESTROYED IN TRANSMISSION CAUSING A NEED TO BE REBUILT, AS SO MANY, IF NOT ALL OTHERS IN 2007-2009 GMC ACADIAS HAVE BEEN. OUT OF POCKET COST TO ME IS $3,500 BECAUSE GM USED A $2 PART INSTEAD OF AN $8 PART. THIS IS AN HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS STRANDING PEOPLE, MOTHERS WITH CHILDREN, IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS, ALL THE WHILE, GM IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND SOLUTION BUT REFUSES TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 GMC ACADIA ALONG WITH MY SISTER AND HER TWO GOD CHILDREN. WE WERE AT A RED LIGHT AND PROCEEDED TO GO WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. GOT UP TO 20MPH AND THE SUV JERKED SEVERELY. ONCE IT JERKED THE SUV WOULD NOT GO OVER THAT MILEAGE. WE WERE ALL SCARED! I TOOK THEM HOME AND DROVE TO A GM DEALERSHIP. I PAID $114.00 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG. THEY SPECULATED THAT A WAVE PLATE BROKE OR MOVED. THEY ADVISED IN ORDER TO KNOW FOR SURE, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY 900.00 PLUS FOR A DEEPER DIAGNOSTIC! I'M UNDER MY 100K MILEAGE AND NO ONE IS HONORING THAT. I'M A MBA STUDENT AND DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF CASH! I'VE ONLY HAD THIS SUV FOR 3 YEARS. I BOUGHT IT USED, HAD ONLY ONE OWNER BEFORE ME, AND IT WAS UNDER 20K MILES. SOUNDS LIKE GM'S PRODUCT IS NOT RELIABLE AND THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I TRIED TO BUY AN AMERICAN PRODUCT TO PUT HELP OUR ECONOMY AND THIS IS THE REPAYMENT FOR IT! I'M GOING BACK TO FOREIGN CARS, I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GM BUILT VEHICLE AS LONG AS I BREATH! *TR

MY CAR ENGINE STARTING REVVING WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEEDS. WHILE DRIVING WITH MY 3 CHILDREN IN THE CAR, IT CAME TO A DEAD STOP AND COULDN'T GO IN REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND THEN DIAGNOSED WITH A BROKEN 35R CLUTCH WAVE PLATE. HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT AT 48K MILES. THE CAR HAD BEEN DRIVEN LESS THAN 10K MILES A YEAR FOR 5.5 YEARS. *TR

WE WERE PARKED WITH THE BACK END UP ON A SLOPE, WHEN WE WENT DOWN ONTO LEVEL GROUND A LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER CAME IN BETWEEN OUR WINDSHIELD AND CEILING- IT POURED ONTO OUR PASSENGER SIDE DASH. WE THOUGHT WE GOT ALL THE WATER SOAKED UP RIGHT AWAY. THE NEXT MORNING OUR CAR WAS MAKING A CLICKING SOUND AND WOULDN'T START. IT WOULDN'T GIVE THE KEY BACK. WHEN WE JUMPED IT- IT WOULDN'T SHUT OFF. WE HAD TO UNHOOK THE BATTERY- VERY DANGEROUS. THIS WENT ON FOR DAYS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY VEHICLE SAT OUT IN THE RAIN OVER NIGHT AND THE NEXT DAY WHEN I GOT TO WORK I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING, SO I GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND ALL LIGHTS WERE OFF ONLY THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. I TURNED THE KEY OVER AND THEN BACK AND THEN AT THAT POINT THE ENGINE STOPPED. WHEN I RETURNED TO MY CAR THAT EVENING AFTER WORK MY CAR WAS DEAD. IT TOOK TWO GUYS 30 MINUTES TO GET MY BATTERY TO CHARGE. ONCE MY BATTERY WAS CHARGED MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINED ON. THE NEXT MORNING MY CAR WAS DEAD WHEN I TURNED THE KEY ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TURNED ON AND I COULD NOT GET THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY SITTING IN MY GARAGE AND WE ARE TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT STEP TO TAKE IF WE SHOULD GET IT TOWED TO A DEALER TO LOOK AT, BUT LOOKING AT OTHER REVIEWS IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION AT THE DEALERSHIP. IN THE PAST AND ON THIS OCCASION MY VEHICLE WAS LEAKING WATER MAINLY ABOVE THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR AREA. I OFTEN WOULD NOTICE WATER ON THE PASSENGER FLOOR AND WATER IN THE THIRD ROW LIGHTS CEILING AREA. SO I AM ASSUMING MY ELECTRONICS ARE WET AND WHEN THEY DRY OUT MY CAR WILL ACT NORMAL AGAIN. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL OR SOME TYPE OF REMEDY FOR THIS. I GUESS FROM NOW ON MY VEHICLE NEEDS TO GO IN THE GARAGE, BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MY FAMILY IS ON A TRIP. I CAN NOT RELY ON MY CAR SO NOT SURE WHAT THE POINT OF KEEPING IT IS, BUT I SURE DON'T WANT TO KEEP PASSING MY CAR OFF ON SOME OTHER POOR PERSON. THERE NEEDS TO BE A REMEDY. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A RELIABLE CAR AND I AM ALSO WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY FOR MY FAMILY WITH ELECTRICAL SHORTS AND FIRE HAZARD DUE TO THE WATER LEAKAGE PROBLEMS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE
OUR VEHICLE SAT OUT IN THE RAIN FOR SEVERAL HOURS BECAUSE WE WERE AT OUR DAUGHTER'S SPORTING EVENT IN ANOTHER TOWN. WHEN WE CAME BACK TO OUR VEHICLE TO DRIVE HOME, WE NOTICED THE CARPET WAS WET AND WHEN MY HUSBAND PULLED FORWARD WATER BEGAN TO COME OUT OF BOTH THE THIRD ROW LIGHT AND SEATBELTS. WE DID OUR BEST TO CLEAN THE WATER UP AND PLANNED ON CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP AS SOON AS WE COULD. WE DROVE THE CAR TO WORK THE FOLLOWING MORNING AS THIS IS OUR MAIN VEHICLE AND WHEN MY HUSBAND SHUT OFF THE CAR HE NOTICED THAT IT WAS MAKING A STRANGE NOISE. WHEN HE TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR IT WOULD NOT START. WE ATTEMPTED TO JUMP THE CAR, BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. WE ENDED UP CONTACTING A TOWING COMPANY TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. AFTER A MONTH OF OUR CAR BEING OUT OF COMMISSION, GM AND THE DEALERSHIP HAVE DETERMINED THAT THERE IS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AND WE WILL NEED TO HAVE THE WIRING AND CIRCUIT BOARDS REPLACED AT A COST OF $6000. GM HAS COMPLETELY WASHED THEIRS HANDS OF THIS AND CONTINUES TO SAY IT IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE AND WE DIDN'T MAINTAIN THE SUNROOF PROPERLY (ALTHOUGH NO DOCUMENTATION WAS GIVEN TO INFORM US THAT THIS NEEDED TO HAPPEN) AND CLEARLY THEY KNOW OF THE DESIGN FLAW SINCE THEY RECALLED IT ONCE FOR A LEAKY ROOF (WE HAD THE RECALL DONE). THERE ARE DOCUMENTED MOLD ISSUES (WHICH MAKE PEOPLE SICK), AIRBAGS THAT HAVE QUIT WORKING, DEFROSTER MOTOR ISSUES IN NORTHERN STATES, IN ADDITION TO A COMPLETE VEHICLE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING IN AN UNDESIRABLE NEIGHBORHOOD. HERE IS A LINK TO EDMONDS.COM WHERE THERE ARE MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS. HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F1E12D1. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE STATE AT 70MPH I CAME UP ON SLOWER TRAFFIC AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 60-65MPH BEFORE I COULD CHANGE LANES. ONCE CHANGING LANES AND AS I WENT TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO DOWNSHIFT AND RPM WENT FROM 1800-2000 TO 5000 AND THE VEHICLE BASICALLY STALLED FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS CAUSING A 18 WHEELER TO BASICALLY ALL BUT WRECK TO KEEP FROM KILLING ME AND MY OTHER 5 FAMILY MEMBERS IN THE VEHICLE. I PULLED OVER AT THE NEXT EXIT AND MADE SURE THERE WAS NO KIND OF TRANSMISSION CODES OR ANYTHING TO SHOW UP ON THE DASH BUT I STILL CHECKED MY FLUIDS AND EVERYTHING CHECKED TO OK. I HAD 325 MORE MILES TO GET HOME SO I BASICALLY HAD TO BABY IT TO THE HOUSE. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES DURING THE TRIP BUT THAT WAS THE WORST. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THAT THE AIRBAG IN THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT TURNS ITSELF ON AND OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON WITH THE SAME INDIVIDUAL SITTING IN IT WHO WEIGHS 130LBS. AT FIRST I JUST THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE WAY THEY WERE SITTING BUT I WEIGH 200LBS AND IT DID THE SAME WITH ME. I'M HOPING TO GET THESE PROBLEMS RESOLVED BY DEALER TOMORROW BUT WITH SO MANY TRANSMISSIONS DOING THE SAME THING THE GOV & GMC NEED TO TAKE CHARGE OF THIS ISSUE AND GET THE [XXX] PROBLEM FIXED BEFORE MORE PEOPLE HAVE ISSUE AND GET KILLED OR INJURED. *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

POWER TRAIN, STEERING, WHEELS
I HAVE BEEN VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH MY VEHICLE! WHEN I WAS IN THE MARKET FOR A NEW VEHICLE I NEW I WANTED THE ACADIA. I HAVE BEEN A LONG TIME CUSTOMER AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE LOT THEY HAD JUST BROUGHT IN A 2008 THAT HAD ONE OWNER. I WAS ECSTATIC BECAUSE IT WAS EVERYTHING I COULD WANT AND NOT AS EXPENSIVE AS A 2012. WHEN I FIRST STARTED DRIVING IT WAS GREAT I LOVED IT! I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 8,000 OR SO MILES ON IT AND AS TIME WENT ON I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT IT WASN'T DRIVING LIKE IT DID THE FIRST DAY I BOUGHT IT. I DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK 5 DAYS WEEK ROUGHLY 35 MILES A DAY. I WAS IN TOWN AT THE BANK AND AS I STARTED TO PULL OUT INTO THE LANE MY RPM'S WENT SKY HIGH AND WOULDN'T COME BACK DOWN AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS SO SCARED I PULLED OVER IN THE NEXT AVAILABLE SPOT AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. I WAITED FOR 5 MINUTES, TURNED IT BACK ON AND PROCEEDED TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC. EVER SINCE THAT DAY MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP TWICE FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I CURRENTLY HAVE 29,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT DRIVES LIKE CRAP! I HAVE IT ALIGNED, TIRES ROTATED, AND I CANNOT GET A SMOOTH RIDE. THE STEERING WHEEL SHIMMIES OVER 50 MPH, SHIMMIES WHEN I HIT THE BREAKS, MY HEATER DOESN'T SEEM TO WORK WELL UNLESS IT IS ON 85 WAY TOO HOT. I NOW HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR BACK INTO THE SHOP YET AGAIN FOR THE SAME THING TRANSMISSION FAILURE, ALIGNMENT OFF, AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE. I READ A LOT REVIEWS ON THIS MODEL AND SEEMS AS THOUGH WE HAVE ALL EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES. I HAVE BEEN A LONG TIME PONTIAC/GMC BUYER AND I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN GM FOR NOT TAKING THIS TRANSMISSION THING SERIOUS. HOW MANY MORE COMPLAINTS DO YOU NEED TO RECEIVE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE? FATAL ACCIDENT? IN WHICH CASE I HOPE IT ISN'T ME BUT ALSO NOBODY ELSE. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE IT HAS BEEN A THORN FOR SOME TIME AND IT'S ABOUT TIME THAT GM DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! *TR
