Consumer Description

SIMILAR TO COMPLAINT # 10224804, I HAVE ALSO HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY GMC ACADIA. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, AND TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE GAS CAP WASN'T FULLY TIGHTENED, AND THAT'S WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. AFTER THE THIRD TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE DEALERSHIP "MAGICALLY" DISCOVERED THAT IT WASN'T THE GAS CAP. THERE WAS A BAD SENSOR, A BAD SOLENOID, THE CAMSHAFT WAS INCORRECTLY FIT TO THE ENGINE BLOCK, AND NOW A BAD CYLINDER. NO RESOLUTION FROM GM OTHER THAN THE TECHNICIANS ARE LOOKING INTO THE MATTER. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN WORKING ON THE VEHICLE FOR OVER 30 DAYS NOW WITH NO REPAIR, AND NO IDEA WHEN THE REPAIR IS GOING TO HAPPEN. GM TECH SUPPORT HAS NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP. VEHICLE PURCHASED 12/13/07. FIRST CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON 01/07/08, SECOND 01/17/08, THIRD 5/20/08. MILEAGE: 994. CURRENT MILEAGE: 4,334. *TR
