NHTSA Complaint #10533221 — 2007 GMC ACADIA

WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THERE WAS A NOTICEABLE WHINE IN THE STEERING. I ASKED THE SALESMAN AND HE SAID THAT NOISE WAS TYPICAL WITH ACADIA'S AND THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH THE CAR. WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT A DIFFERENT DEALER RIGHT BEFORE WE LEFT ON VACATION, I WAS TOLD THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS GOING OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. DID THAT EVEN THOUGH WE WERE DELAYED GOING ON VACATION AND SUBSEQUENTLY HAD IT REPLACED TWO MORE TIMES AS WELL. ALSO HAVE HAD LEAKS IN THE SUNROOF THAT CONTINUE TO RETURN, AND HAVE NOW MESSED UP MY POWER WINDOW CONTROLS TO THE POINT THAT I CAN NOT CONTROL ANY OF THE OTHER WINDOWS FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT. HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE WATER PUMP, FRONT STRUTS, AND NOW THE SOLENOIDS ARE BEING REPLACED AS WELL. WHEN I PURCHASED MY CAR IT HAD RIGHT AT 54K MILES ON IT AND I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, THAT COVERED MY POWER STEERING PUMP ISSUES, BUT I HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THE REST. I WILL HAVE NOW PUT ALMOST $3K INTO REPAIRS THAT SEEM TO BE VERY TYPICAL WITH THIS CAR, BASED ON WHAT I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET. *TR
