NHTSA Complaint #10556289 — 2008 GMC ACADIA

TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE. ONLY TO FIND OUT THIS IS ONLY ONE OF MULTIPLE ACADIAS WITH THIS FEW MILES TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN AND LEAVE US STRANDED MILES FROM HOME. AND UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE NOW FINDING OUT THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN BUT NOONE BOTHERED TO TELL US ABOUT IT OR WARN US THAT THIS MIGHT BE A PROBLEM. AND OF COURSE OUR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED BECAUSE WE HAVE OWNED IT 5 YEARS AND HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF OUR VEHICLE HAVING THE OIL CHANGED EVERY 3000 MILES AND TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED ROUTINELY AND YOU COULD LOOK AT IT AND IT LOOKS BRAND NEW.. BUT NOW WE ARE OUT $4000.00 + WHICH SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING WITH THIS VEHICLE.. WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED AND ANGRY THAT WE COULD HAVE BEEN IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION HAD MY HUSBAND NOT BEEN THE ONE DRIVING THAT DAY. *TR
