NHTSA Complaint #10327702 — 2008 GMC ACADIA

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO THE WINDOW SEAL ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOW. IT HOLDS WATER IN THE SEAL AND HAS A VERY STRONG OFFENSIVE MOLD/MILDEW ODOR. EACH TIME YOU ROLL DOWN EITHER WINDOW THE SMELL IS SO STRONG THAT YOUR ALLERGIES ARE IMMEDIATELY AFFECTED. I DON'T THINK IT IS HEALTHY TO CONSTANTLY SMELL MOLD WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEY AGREED THAT IT WAS HORRIBLE, BUT ONLY SUGGESTED THAT I TAKE AN AIR HOSE AND BLOW OUT THE TRAPPED WATER. THAT DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE EACH TIME IT RAINS OR YOU WASH YOUR VEHICLE IT SMELLS AGAIN. I HATE DRIVING A NEWER VEHICLE THAT SMELLS LIKE A MOLDED TRASH CONTAINER. I WOULD LIKE A BETTER SOLUTION FOR THIS NEVER ENDING PROBLEM. *TR
