NHTSA Complaint #10537563 — 2008 GMC ACADIA

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS. FIRST THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WHEN WE WERE GOING ON VACATION I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED BUT IT KEPT COMING ON AND OFF TOOK IT AGAIN AND SAME THING HAPPENED IT KEPT DOING THAT SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REROUTE THE AIRBAG HARNESS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AGAIN IT ONLY LASTED FOR A FEW WEEKS AND IT CAME BACK ON. BY THAT TIME THE CAR WAS OVER 60,000 MILES AND IT WAS PAST THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SO I'M STUCK WITH THAT PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPAIRED A FEW MONTHS AGO AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED AGAIN BUT DON'T HAVE MONEY TO FIX IT AND GMC WON'T RECALL THE 2007 AND 2008 ACADIAS KNOWING THAT THE ACADIAS OF THOSE 2 YEARS WERE MADE WITH A FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEM. THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR THE 2009 AND LATER MODELS BUT WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE 2007 AND 2008 MODELS AND A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T HAVE MONEY TO PAY FOR A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR THAT IS GM'S FAULT. MY ACADIA IS SITTING ON MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO FIX ITAND I'M STUCK USING A 16 YEAR OLD CAR THAT IS MORE RELIABLE THAT OUR NEW CAR. I HAVE HAD THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS SINCE A FEW MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD AND RELIABLE FAMILY VEHICLE. AIR BAGS LIGHT ON AND NEVER GOT FIXED SUSPENSION REPAIRED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO LIGHTING PROBLEMS A COUPLE OF TIMES AND NOW THERE IS A RECALL FOR THAT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS THE CAR HAS ONLY 70,000 MILES AND IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ALL THIS ISSUES PLEASE LOOK IN TO THIS I KNOW THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND GM WON'T DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY KNEW THEY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION'S THE 2007 AND 2008 MODELS THAT'S WHY THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR THE 2009 AND LATER MODELS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THANKS. *TR
