NHTSA Complaint #10483915 — 2008 GMC ACADIA

WE BOUGHT THE ACADIA USED FROM A LOCAL DEALER AND THE FIRST TIME IT RAINED SIGNIFICANTLY WATER LEAKED IN AROUND THE DOOR POST AT FRONT OF VEHICLE. THIS LEAK CAUSED SOME OF THE ELECTRICAL BOARDS TO SHORT OUT WHICH ALLOWED US NOT TO BE ABLE TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF EVEN WITH THE KEY REMOVED. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY INFORMED US ABOUT THE ELECTRICAL BOARDS AND STATED THE CHARGE TO REPAIR. AFTER A CALL TO GM COMPLAINT LINE THEY REPAIRED THE BOARD AT NO CHARGE TO US, BUT AFTER ABOUT 2MONTHS SAME PROBLEM ACCRUED SAME ISSUES. DEALER SAID WATER STILL LEAKING IN BUT COULD NOT FIND, THEY DRIED OUT THE ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS AND SAID TO TRY IT AGAIN. AFTER 2MONTHS THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN TO NO HELP FROM DEALER,MY CONCERN IS FEAR OF FIRE FROM SHORTED BOARDS OR THE BUILD UP OF MOLD UNDER CARPET. ANY HELP OR DIRECTION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR
