POWER TRAIN
HAD MY TRANSMISSION FAIL WHILE CAMPING IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH ZERO CELL PHONE SERVICE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT 121,657 MILES, THEN DETERIORATED UNTIL IT WOULD NO LONGER MOVE WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS COMPLETE REPLACEMENT TOTALLING 4.5K. GMC REFUSED TO ASSIST ME IN ANY MANNER TOWARDS THE BILL EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A VERY KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE OF VEHICLE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS AS IT IS A DEALER DEFECT.

THIS CAR IS A LEAKING VEHICLE. AFTER A HEAVY RAIN I GOT IN MY CAR AND WATER JUST CAME FLOODING INTO MY VEHICLE. I HAD IT REPAIRED AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASE THE CAR. SHORTLY AFTER MY STEREO SYSTEM WENT OUT I HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY AMP. BUT BECAUSE OF THE ESTIMATED REPAIR COST I CHOSE NOT TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. JUST RECENTLY MY SON PULLED THE DEVICE INSIDE THE DOOR AND ALL OF F THEM WERE FULL OF WATER. IT'S LIKE ALL MY SEALS ARE LEAKING ON MY VEHICLE. FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK. I'M REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I MAY NOT BE THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE RESPOND

MY VEHICLE HAS 85,500 MILES ON ENGLINE AND TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WHEN IT HAD 36,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE NEVER PULLED ANYTHING BEHIND MY VEHICLE THAT WOULD PUT STRAIN ON THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND FOUND OUT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WOULD STAY IN 1ST GEAR AND WOULD NOT SHIFT TO A HIGHER GEAR.

SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK THE I GET AN ON AND OFF MESSAGE TO SERVICE THE AIR BAG. ALSO WHILE I AM DRIVING THE TRUCK OVER HEATS AND WHEN I COME TONA STOP AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND COMPLETELY REMIVE THE KEY.

I HAVE SEEN IN OTHER FORUMS WHERE ALL HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE QUALITY OF THE VEHICLE.

BOUGHT 2008 ACADIA LOVE CAR BUT WHEN IT RAINS IT LEAKS IN HEADLINER HAD DRAIN TUBES CLEANED WORKED ABOUT A MONTH NEEDED TO BE DONE AGAIN CALLED GM ABOUT A RECALL SAID THEY HADN'T HAD ANY COMPLAINTS WHICH I SEE IS NOT TRUE BUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE DRAIN TUBES IS THE ELBOW WHAT IDIOT WOULD EXPECT TO HAVE GOOD DRAINAGE WITH A ELBOW CONNECTED TO A SMALL DRAIN TUBE GM DOESN'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AND NEEDS SOMEONE WITH COMMON SENSE TO DESIGN SUCH PARTS. IF IT DOESN'T WORK THEY SHOULD FIX IT THESE VEHICLES ARE HIGH PRICED AND CHEAPLY MADE. DRIVING OR PARKED STILL LEAKS

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR BROUGHT IN FOR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. AFTER THE DEALER DID A FULL TEST, THEY NARROWED IT DOWN TO THE GAS TANK AREA. IT WAS A FUEL MODULE BROKEN AT THE FLANGE AND ALSO THEY RECOMMENDED THE FUEL SENSOR TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN NOTICING A LOT OF VEHICLE COMING IN WITH THE SENSOR GOING BAD. THE DEALER ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THE 2008 ACADIA'S HAVE A DESIGN FLAW IN THE GAS TANK AND THERE IS A CHANCE IN THE FUTURE IT MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED, BUT FOR NOW THE TANK LOOKS REALLY GOOD.

STEERING
2008 GMC ACADIA WITH INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER STEERING, I HAVE 112,396 MILES AND MY SUV AS WELL AS A LOT OF OTHERS PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET HAVE LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. THIS WAS A SPECIAL COVERAGE AND THIS IS STILL HAPPING TO PEOPLE IN THESE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY PUT A TIME FRAME ON WHEN THEY WOULD COVER THE VEHICLE ISSUES. THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL AND CRASH WHEN THIS ISSUE HAPPENS. I HAVE GOT AHOLD OF GM MOTORS AND THEY SAID I AM OUT OF THE TIME FRAME AND THEY WON'T COVER IT. PLEASE HELP ME OUT AND SEE ABOUT A RECALL SO PEOPLE WON'T GET INJURED OR POSSIBLE KILLED OVER THIS ISSUE THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT. THE ISSUE LOCKS THE STEERING WHEEL AND WON'T ALLOW YOU TO TURN IT LEFT OR RIGHT. UNTIL YOU SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO TURN IT.

POWER TRAIN
FOR THE PAST 6-9 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH UNWARRANTED SPEED SHIFTING, HARD SHIFT CHANGES & OVERALL TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I HAVE HAD MY CAR TO TRANSMISSION SPECIALISTS ALMOAT ON A MONTHLY BASIS FOR THESE ISSUES. I WAS TOLD BY THE SPECIALIST THAT HE REPAIRS AT LEAST 3 CARS OF MY SAME MAKE & MODEL PER WEEK. HE SAID HE IS NOTICING A VERY COMMON FAILURE IN EACH VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE HAS POWER BUT THE SPEED & GEAR SHIFT ARE HUGE SAFETY ISSUES, AS IT IS VERY RANDOM & UNPROVOKED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY & MY VEHICLE WOULD JUST STALL OR SHIFT. I HAVE HAD TO CAREFULLY PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID A MAJOR ACCIDENT.
