TAMAKA RECALL, MY 2007 GMC ACADIA, LOST POWER DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I WAS DOING ABOUT 55 MPH AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE ABOVE 20 MPH.. THANKFULLY I WASN'T HURT BUT WAS SCARY BC OTHER PEOPLE WERE BEHIND ME AND MY CAR SLOWED DOWN SO FAST! AFTER FURTHER REVIEW THIS SEEMS TO BE A HUGE ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND TO ME SEEMS LIKE A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. I STILL HAVE TO HAVE MY CAR LOOKED AT BUT NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NO LONGER ON. I FEEL THAT THIS VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE WHEN YOU COULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND LOSE POWER... THEN WHEN TAKEN TO THE SHOP THE CAR SEEMS TO BE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER ONLY UNTIL IT DOES IT AGAIN. THIS WOULD BE ONE THING IF THIS WAS A ONE PERSON CASE BUT THIS IS A MANY PERSON CASE! THANK YOU

AIR BAGS
PREMATURE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT I WAS JUMPING THE ACADIA FROM OUR 2012 FORD FUSION DUE TO A NO START - NO CRANK ISSUE. THE ACADIA'S BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DISCHARGED, SO I PLACED JUMPER CABLES ONTO THE POSITIVE END FROM THE FUSE BOX AND THE GROUND TERMINAL. THE ACADIA'S HORN WORKED, INDICATING ELECTRICAL POWER, SO I TRIED TO CRANK IT BUT IT DID NOT CRANK. I TURNED THE IGNITION KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND SAT IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT FOR LESS THAN A MINUTE BEFORE THE DRIVER AIRBAG SUDDENLY DEPLOYED. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, THE ACADIA'S ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED BACK IN JULY OR AUGUST. THE CAR DROVE FINE FOR ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE THE CHARGING SYSTEM FAILED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THE CAR SAT IN THE YARD FOR ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE I TRIED TO JUMP IT OFF THE FIRST TIME. THE CAR DID START, BUT IT DIED ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER. THE CAR SAT IN THE YARD FOR WEEK BEFORE I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN. THIS IS WHEN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. ONE MORE THING: THE ACADIA LEAKED FROM THE SUNROOF, AND THE INSIDE OF THE CAR WAS WET. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRONICS. ATTACHED ARE PICTURES AFTER THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING 2007 ACADIA IT RAINED AND MY FRONT FLOORBOARDS FLOODED DUE TO THE SUNROOF CLOGGING UP. IT OVERFLOWED INTO THE CAR BC IT COULDN'T DRAIN. TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS AT 2ND, 3RD AND 4TH GEAR ONLY AT LOW SPEEDS OR UNDER TENSION. NAVIGATION KEEPS SAYING DISC READ ERROR. SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO GET 2 FREE DISC WITH THE LIFE OF THE CAR BUT IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET. I HATE THIS CAR. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT SINCE WE HAVE GOTTEN IT. I AM ALMOST DUE TO UPGRADE AND I WILL NOT BE GETTING AN ACADIA.

ENGINE, STEERING
OUR VEHICLE ONLY HAS 86K MILES AND THE RACK AND PINION IS LEAKING HEAVILY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, BUT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. SOMETIMES, THE POWER STEERING CUTS OUT AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS IMPOSES SERIOUS RISK WHILE DRIVING AND THE PROBLEM CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. THERE IS NO REPEATABLE SCENARIO TO DEMONSTRATE THE FAILURE. IT IS RANDOM. THE FRONT ENGINE COVER ALSO LEAKS OIL HEAVILY. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. THIS COULD RESULT IN RAPID ENGINE OIL LOSS AND ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER YESTERDAY FOR INSPECTION. UNFORTUNATELY NO PICTURES WERE TAKEN, BUT THEIR TWO TECHNICIANS INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND AGREED ON THE KNOWN ISSUES. THE SERVICE ADVISOR ALSO AGREED ON THE KNOWN ISSUES. I INQUIRED ABOUT GM HELPING WITH THESE KNOWN ISSUES, BUT THE DEALER STATED THAT THEIR DISTRICT AFTERSALES MANAGER WAS NOT KIND OR HELPFUL AND WOULD REVERT TO GENERAL MOTOR'S ONLINE GOODWILL CALCULATOR. HE ACCESSED THE ONLINE SYSTEM WHICH DETERMINED MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND/OR COVERAGE AND THAT THERE WAS NO GOODWILL AVAILABLE TO USE FOR MY VEHICLE. WE'RE NOT LOOKING FOR GOODWILL, BUT RATHER FOR GM TO REPAIR THESE HIGH RISK PRODUCT FAILURES. SINCE THESE COMPONENTS WEAR WITH USE, NOT TIME, WE FEEL THAT WITH OUR LOW USAGE, THESE COMPONENTS SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CORRODED FUSE BLOCK CAUSES THE SUV TO NOT START PERIODICALLY AND REQUIRES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE STARTING. I RESEARCHED AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH WINDSHIELD AND SUNROOF DRAINS. VERY EXPENSIVE FOR OWNER TO BARE COSTS TO REPAIR.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 60 MPH THE SUV JERKED AND THEN THE RPM ACCELERATED AND THEN SLOWED DOWN. I HAD TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A 18 WHEELER. IT REALLY HAPPENS WHEN I HAVE THE AIR CONDITIONER ON.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
OVERDRIVE FUNCTION FAULTY IN TRANSMISSION. DURING COLD WEATHER STABILITY TRAC KICKS IN AND WILL NOT REGAIN POWER EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO BAD ROAD CONDITIONS (SUCH AS SNOW, ICE, OR RAIN) IT SEEMS TO ACTIVATE WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD. IT BARLEY MOVES INHIBITING NORMAL TRAFFIC FLOW WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. FIXED MOON ROOF LEAKS CAUSING THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS TO MALFUNCTION AND RAIN WATER DRIPS ON PASSENGERS AND THOROUGHLY SOAKS THE CARPETS LEAVING A MILDEW SMELL.
