Consumer Description

2008 GMC ACADIA. THIS YEAR/MODEL HAS HAD A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE WAVE PLATE & TRANSMISSION. THE TRUCK WAS BROUGHT IN WITH 58K MILES AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN 2011. THIS PAST WEEK, THE TRANSMISSION HAS STARTED TO MALFUNCTION AGAIN. SAME SYMPTOMS FROM 2011 WHEN THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR DELAYS AS IT GOES IN AND OUT OF GEARS. THE CAR NOW HAS 98K MILES AND WILL NEED TO HAVE THE 2ND TRANSMISSION REPAIRED (3RD TRANSMISSION IN CAR IF YOU COUNT THE ONE IT CAME WITH). THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 6 YEARS OLD. LOOKING AT REPAIRS, THE COST WILL BE OVER $3500. LOTS OF OWNERS ARE RUNNING INTO THESE ISSUES WITH THE 2007/2008 ACADIA MODELS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW GM IS NOT DOING A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES TO ADDRESS THE ROOT ISSUE. *TR
