NHTSA Complaint #10469623 — 2007 GMC ACADIA

MY TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED AT 131,000 MILES AND A COST OF OVER $3400.00 OUT OF MY POCKET. WELL HERE I AM AGAIN... THIS IS THE THIRD MAJOR THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY 2007 ACADIA.. I HAD TO HAVE ALL NEW TIMING CHAINS PUT ON 103,000 MILES, HAD TO HAVE MY SERVICE TIRE SENSOR FIXED AT 112,000 MILES, I HAVE DONE ALL THE RE-CALLS FOR THE SUN-ROOF LEAK, THE HEATED WINDSHIELD FLUID, AND WHATEVER ELSE HS BEEN RE-CALLED ON THIS VEHICLE!!! MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING MY CAR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR JUST STOPPED AND THEN HE COULD ONLY GET IT TO GO 30 MPH. HE IS LUCKY HE WAS NOT REAR ENDED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, IT WILL NOT GO OVER 30 MPH AND REVERSE. I SPOKE WITH THE HEAD MECHANIC AT THE GM GARAGE THAT IS PUTTING A NEW TRANSMISSION IN MY ACADIA AT THE COST OF 3400.00 TO ME, AND HE TOLD ME THAT ALL THE 2007-2010 ACADIA'S HAVE A PART IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT COST GM $1.69 INSTEAD OF USING THE PART THEY SHOULD HAVE USED THAT WOULD HAVE COST THEM $39.00. HE SAID GM KNOW THEY SHOULD HAVE RECALLED ALL THE 2070-2010 ACADIA'S BUT CHOSE NOT TOO BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MILLIONS OF VEHICLES INVOLVED, SO INSTEAD "THANK YOU GM" FOR SCREWING ALL OF US AND NOW WE HAVE TO PAY FOR YOUR MISTAKE AND CUT BACKS.... *TR
