NHTSA Complaint #10761992 — 2008 GMC ACADIA

AFTER A COUPLE ATTEMPTS TO ADDRESS SERVICE ENGINE ISSUES WITH LOCAL MECHANIC, THE CAR CONTINUED TO DISPLAY CODES AND THEN WOULD NOT CONSISTENTLY SHIFT INTO 2 OR 3RD GEAR. WE TOOK THE CAR TO A GMC DEALER AND THEY FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE NEEDED REPLACED (CODE P0752) AS DID THE SHIFT SOLENOID. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ALSO RELATED TO STRETCHED TIMING CHAINS WHICH WERE REPLACED SINCE FIRST ISSUE REQUIRED THE ENGINE BE REMOVED FOR REPAIRS TO BE MADE. I NOTICED MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND SAW RECALLS FOR 2007 ACADIA'S BUT NOT 2008, IN MY OPINION 2008 SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED. TOTAL BILL $2,960 WITH TWO 10% DISCOUNTS FROM DEALER SINCE THEY FELT BAD FOR ME.
