Consumer Description

I HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH MY 2008 GMC ACADIA MY FIRST PROBLEM WAS WITH THE TRANSMISSION HAVING TO BE REPLACED. WHICH JUST BARELY WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY I HAD AFTER BUYING THE VEHICLE USED SINCE THAT FIRST INCIDENT I HAVE HAD CONTINUAL PROBLEMS. MY ENGINE WILL STAY RUNNING AFTER THE KEY IS TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION AND THE KEY IS REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION THE CAR CONTINUES TO STAY RUNNING THE ENGINE DOES THAT IS ALL OTHER LIGHTS GO OFF NO RADIO OR AC STAY ON. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP DIFFERENT TIMES NO ONE CAN CORRECTLY DIAGNOSE AND FIX THE ISSUE. I AM NOW WATCHING THE TOW TRUCK HOOK MY CAR UP TO BE TAKEN TO THE GMC DEALER WHICH IS GOING TO COST MORE THAN I AM SURE I CAN AFFORD TO PAY AS A SINGLE MOTHER TRYING TO MAKE ENDS MEET. SO BESIDES THE ENGINE RUNNING WITH NO KEY IN IT. IT ALSO KILLS THE BATTERY DRAINS IT WHEN IT SITS. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE WIRING HARNESSES TO THE HEAD LIGHTS MELTING TO THE BACK IF THE BULBS HAVING TO BE REPLACED COSTING OVER $200. THERE HAS TO BE SOME KIND OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THIS CAR THERE SEEM TO BE MANY PEOPLE ON HERE WITH SIMILAR ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION AND ODD ISSUES. PLEASE HELP I CAN'T AFFORD THIS CAR AND THE CONTINUAL ISSUES. *TR
