Consumer Description
SERVICE STABILITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER ARE MESSAGES THAT HAVE BEEN FLASHING ACROSS MY SCREEN. THIS HAS CAUSED THE CAR TO COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON ME AT RANDOM TIME. I NOW HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS A TIMING CHAIN ISSUE THAT NEEDS REPLACED AND IS GOING TO COST OVER $2000. THERE ARE RECALLS ON THE 2007 & 2009 ACADIAS FOR TIMING CHAIN NEEDING REPLACED PREMATURELY, WHY IS THE 2008 MODEL EXCLUDED?? THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ON THE 2008 MODELS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. I HOPE YOU GUYS TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION. IT IS NOT A COINCIDENCE THAT THE 08 MODELS ARE HAVING THE SAME TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM. PLEASE MAKE THIS RIGHT. *TR
