2008 GMC ACADIA Electrical System Problems

DURING TIMES OF HEAVY RAIN OR WHEN DRIVING THROUGH A CAR WASH, WATER ENTERS VEHICLE INTERIOR. WATER CAN BE HEARD MOVING AROUND IN HEADLINER OF REAR WHILE VEHICLE BEING DRIVEN. WITH VEHICLE IN MOTION WATER CAN BE SEEN LEAKING OUT OF AIR BAG LABEL ON DRIVER SIDE PANEL BETWEEN WINDSHIELD AND DOOR. INSPECTED DRAIN TUBES FROM SUNROOF AND FOUND THEM TO BE COMPLETELY CLOGGED. UPON CLEARING DEBRIS CLOGGING THE TUBES AN EXESSIVE AMOUNT OF WATER CAME SHOOTING OUT AND TUBES DRAINED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR A NON STOP STREAM. APPROXIMATELY A WEEK OR SO LATER, STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING VEHICLE. TESTED BATTERY AND IT WAS FINE. TESTED ALTERNATOR AND STARTER, BOTH FINE. TWO WEEKS LATER CAR WOULDN'T START AGAIN. UPON AAA ARRIVING TO JUMP MY VEHICLE WE DISCOVERED THE ENTIRE BATTERY COMPARTMENT BEHIND PASSENGER SEAT WAS COMPLETELY FILLED AND BATTERY SUBMERGED IN WATER. FURTHER INSPECTION FOUND ENTIRE FLOOR BOARD SATURATED...

WHEN IT RAINS, WATER LEAKS FROM THE AIR BAGS. WATER ALSO LEAKS FROM THE LIGHT FIXTURES AND DVD PLAYER IN THE MIDDLE SEATING. WATER ALSO COMES IN SOMEWHERE UNDER THE DASHBOARD/ELECTRICAL PANEL AREA, ONTO THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR. THE LAST TIME IT RAINED, THERE WAS STANDING WATER ON MY PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IT IN THE RAIN AND WHILE IT WAS PARKED. STABLITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ARE CONSTANTLY COMING ON - EVEN AFTER LOOKED AT. - I HAVE PICTURES OF LIGHTS ON. ALSO CONSTANT SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT PROBLEMS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, RAIN WATER ENTERED INTO THE CABIN, WHICH CAUSED SOME ELECTRICAL FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

I HAVE AN AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON AND AND A MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY. TOOK TO DEALER AND THE SAID THEY ALREADY PERFORMED THE RECALL THAT WAS ON THE VEHICLE AND WANTED TO CHARGE ME $675 TO OPEN UP THE DASH AND SEE WHAT IS WRONG. THE CODE THAT COMES UP IS TOO HIGH RESISTANCE IN AIRBAG SYSTEM. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT FOR TWO REASONS, ONE IS HOW DO I KNOW THEY ACTUALLY PERFORMED THE PROCEDURE IN THE FIRST PLACE AND,TWO CAN'T IT BE DEFECTIVE AGAIN. MY CONCERN IS SAFETY IN NATURE THAT MY AIRBAG WON'T OPEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

CHECK ENGINE LITE GOES ON AND OFF APPEARS TO BE TIMING CHAIN. WE HAVE A 2008 GMC ACADIA THAT HAS HAD OVER $4000.00 IN REPAIRS SINCE WE PURCHASED IT IN 2010. THE MOST CURRENT IS THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $3500.00. I HAVE READ ALL 167 COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS POSTED ON THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS WEBSITE REGARDING THE 2007-15 GMC ACADIA. I COMPILED A LIST OF ALL REPORTED PROBLEMS BY YEAR/MAKE OTHER CUSTOMERS REPORTED ON THEIR ACADIAS. GMC HAS EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE TIMING CHAIN FOR 2007 AND 2009, NOT 2008 THOUGH. ALL OF OUR PREVIOUS REPAIRS HAVE BEEN REPORTED BY OTHERS ALSO. 2 OF MY REPAIRS HAD RECALLS AFTER WE HAD PAID FOR THE REPAIR. HAVE BEEN REIMBURSED BY GMC FOR PARTS ONLY FOR STABILIZER KIT, POWER STEERING PUMP ASSEMBLY AND RACK N PINION BUT NOT THE LIFTGATE YET. I CONTACTED GMC...

FRONT SUNROOF LEAKS AND FILLS UP FLOORBOARDS WITH WATER. KNOWN ISSUE WITH SUNROOF DRAINS CLOGGING AND POORLY SEALED SUNROOF DESIGN. FLOORBOARDS HOLD ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THE SUN ROOF DRAIN LINE SHIFTED AND LEAKED WATER DOWN THE HEADLINER. THE FAILURE FLOODED THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, SIDE AIR BAG, AND VISOR WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUN ROOF DRAINED CUBE SHIFTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ALSO, THE CARPET AND PANEL OF THE DRIVER SIDE HAD MOLD AND NEEDED TO BE TO REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS BULBS REPEATEDLY BURNED OUT AND NOW THE WIRE HARNESS HAS MELTED DOWN. FUSE FAILED TO TRIP. DAMAGE HAS NOW BEEN CAUSED TO THE ENTIRE DRL ASSEMBLY (MELTING, SEE PHOTO). ADDITIONALLY I AM CONCERNED THAT WHATEVER CAUSED THE BULB AND WIRING TO MELT WILL CAUSE A VEHICLE FIRE AND ENDANGER MY FAMILY. THERE ARE MANY CASES OF THE DRL BULB AND HARNESS MELTING, BUT MY LOCAL GM DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL WHEN I CALLED TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE. GM/SATURN RELEASED A LETTER AUTHORIZING PAID REPAIRS, THAT WAS VALID FROM 2011-2013, BUT THESE VEHICLES ARE STILL ON THE ROAD, AND IT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL REGARDLESS OF WARRANTY STATUS. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS HAVE BEEN RECALLED--GM KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THESE COMPONENTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE SUN ROOF COMPARTMENT, IT WAS FILLED WITH WATER WHICH AFFECTED THE RADIO, TURN SIGNAL VOLUME, AND RADIO. IN ADDITION, THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS THAT RAN FROM THE DOOR INTO THE SIDE WALL OF ALL FOUR DOORS, WERE FILLED WITH WATER. THE VEHICLE ALSO FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BLOWING AMPLIFIER AND BATTERY FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,153.

I JUST REPLACED MY LEFT SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHT FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS. WHEN I PULLED OUT THE OLD BULB, IT LOOKED BURNT ON THE TIP OF INSTEAD OF THE FIRST TIME I TREPLACED IT A YEAR AGO WHEN THE WIRES BECAME LOOSE AND BURNT OUT LIKE A TYPICAL LIGHT BULB. TODAY IS THE SECOND TIME WITHIN A WEEK THAT THE SPEAKERS WENT OUT AND THERE WAS NO SOUND COMING OUT AT ALL. THE MAIN FUSE IS GOOD AND I DRAINED THE WATER FROM THE CONNECTORS ON ALL THE DOORS. THERE SEEMS TO BE A SHORTAGE SOMEWHERE IN THE SYSTEM BECAUSE IT WOULD TAKE 5-10 MINUTES FOR THE SOUND TO COME BACK ON. DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY SOLUTIONS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM DIY INSTEAD OF TAKING IT TO THE DEALER?

I OWN A 2008 GMC ACADIA I HAVE HAD IT USED SINCE JAN 2015 I HAVE HAD IT IN DEALERSHIP ALMOST EVERY 3 MONTHS SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I WAS RECENTLY DRIVING AND HAD A FIRE IN THE PASSENGER HEATED SEAT WHERE MY DAUGHTER WAS SITTING AND IT BURNED A SMALL HOLE IN HER JEANS SO FAR GMC IS CHECKING TO SEE IF ITS A DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT FAILURE OR NOT? IN THE MEAN TIME MY SUNROOF HAS QUIT WORKING AND NOW MY ROOF IS LEAKING AND MY CAR SMELLS LIKE MOLD. THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS GOING CRAZY WITH FLASHES OF INTERIOR LIGHTS. I ALSO HAD THE VEHICLE STOP ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF PARKING AND FOUND OUT THE POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY NEED TO HAVE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES BECAUSE OUR CHILDREN RIDE WITH US AND THEY ARE UNSAFE ESPECIALLY NOW THAT HER...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE POWER BUSTER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER WAS LEAKING DOWN FROM THE SUN ROOF INTO THE ELECTRICAL FUSE BOX, CAUSING CORROSION AND THE VEHICLE WOULD FAILED TO TURN OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER LEAKING INTO THE FUSE BOX WAS CAUSING THE VEHICLE NOT TO TURN OFF DUE TO THE CORROSION. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000. UPDATED 06/29/16*LJ UPDATED 08/02/16.*JB

2008 GMC ACADIA IS TAKING ON WATER. HEATER BLOWER STOPPED WORKING. LATER, KEY LOCKED IN THE IGNITION. FOUND THE FUSE BLOCK HAD BEEN DAMAGED BY WATER LEAKING FROM THE SUNROOF. DRAIN HOSES WERE NOT PLUGGED. CALLED GMC AND WAS TOLD MY VIN NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY DEAD. KEY CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM IGNITION. THIS HAPPENED EARLIER TODAY FOR A SHORT TIME. ELECTRICAL DID COME BACK ON ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO BE DRIVEN HOME. WHEN SHUT OFF, VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS TOTALLY DEAD. SHIFTER CANNOT BE TAKEN OUT OF PARK. KEY CANNOT BE REMOVED. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH WATER FROM SUN ROOF LEAKING INTO CABIN, POSSIBLY CONTRIBUTING. TRANSMISSION RECENTLY REPAIRED. INTERNAL SWITCH MODULE REPLACED. AUDIO AMP RECENTLY REPLACED, TOTALLY INOP.

MY 2008 GMC ACADIA LEAKS WHEN IT RAINS, THE FLOOR BOARDS FILL WITH WATER & WATER COMES THROUGH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS CAUSING THEM TO SHORTEN, BLINK. THE POWER WINDOWS GOT STUCK WOULDN'T GO DOWN ALMOST SMASHED MY KIDS HAND. THE WORSE PART DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 65-70 TRAFFIC SLOWS TO 40 AND YOUR VEHICLE DOESN'T GO ALMOST CAUSING THE WORSE ACCIDENT EVER. SEEMS THIS WAVE PLATE, SHIFT SOLENOID IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT ESPECIALLY SINCE I WAS ONLY A FEW MONTHS AFTER INITIAL PURCHASE AND THE TRUCK WAS RETURNED TO DEALER FOR SAME ISSUE SO THAT MEANS THE TRANSMISSION THEY REPLACED THE BAD ONE WITH WAS SO BAD OR REACHED ITS TIME OUT MILEAGE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL IF IT HAPPENED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE (PURCHASED USED) THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN WITH THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION AND ALL THE THREADS IN HAVE READ EVERY OWNER IS EXPERIENCING THIS, SOMEONE WILL HAVE BAD...

I HAVE HAD SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHTS COME ON ALL THE TIME ALONG WITH SERVICE STABLETRACK AND AND I THINK SOMETHING WITH THE FUEL WHEN I GET GAS IT MAKES WEIRD SOUNDS AND WON'T START WITHOUT PUMPING THE GAS TO GET IT STARTED.

THE AIRBAG ON/OFF LIGHTS WOULD BOTH LIGHT UP AT THE SAME TIME SO YOU DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE WARNING "SERVICE AIRBAG" CAME ON. THIS WAS WHILE DRIVING ANY SPEED, ANY TYPE ROAD, ALSO WHILE THE CAR WAS IN PARK. KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION, THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OFF BUT ELECTRICAL WOULD STILL BE WORKING. ALSO THE POWER SAVER MODE KICKED IN AND WE HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE JUMPED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE SUNROOF LEAKED WATER INTO THE VEHICLE. THE WATER ALSO LEAKED FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE LEAK OCCURRED FROM THE REAR DOME LIGHT. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE BATTERY ALSO FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER FILLED UP IN THE FUSE BOX FROM A FAULTY DRAINAGE FOR THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID, CAUSING THE VEHICLE NOT TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 171,000.

SUNROOF CONTINUES TO LEAK WATER. MOISTURE MILDEW GROWTH IN INTERIOR. CAR GETS SATURATED EVERY TIME. DRIVER SIDE FLOOR BOARDS FULL OF WATER. ELECTRICAL WARNING LIGHTS CONTINUE TO SOUND AND FLASH...TODAY IT'S THE BRAKE WARNING. WATER IS CORRODING MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM...IT'S NOT SAFE! GMC KEEP IGNORING THIS PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH THIS ISSUE IS AN EPIDEMIC OF COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE WEB! THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL YEARS AGO! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!

RAIN LEAK INTO CAR, WATER POURING INTO FRAME AND TRAPPED IN FRAME OF CAR, ROOF OF CAR. WATER LEAKING OUT OF AIRBAG LOCATIONS. WHEN WE DRIVE, WE CAN HEAR WATER MOVING AROUND IN FRAME, SEE WATER LEAKING OUT OF AIRBAG AREAS IN FRAME OF CAR. WATER TRAPPED INSIDE FRAME OF CAR, ROTTING INSIDE OF CAR, MOLD, MILDEW POTENTIAL, FIRE HAZARD. GMC SAYS THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS, CAR NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. HOW CAN I SAFELY DRIVE A VEHICLE IN WHICH BOTH THE AIRBAGS AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS COMPROMISED??

WATER ENTERS THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE AS THE SUNROOF DRAINS CONTINUE TO CLOG UP AND WATER FALLS ON DRIVER AND DRIVER SIDE ELECTRICAL FUSES.

CAR WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO JUMP OFF. WHEN I DID THIS I WENT TO TURN OFF AND HAD THE KEY OUT AND THE CAR KEPT RUNNING FOR AROUND A MINUTE BEFORE FINALLY STALLING. DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE SAME RESULT. I THEN TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP. AFTER A DAY THEY CALLED AND INFORMED ME THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS ALLOWING WATER IN AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AND FUSE PANEL UNDER GLOVE BOX WAS FULL OF WATER AND CORRODED. THEY ADVISED A NEW WINDSHIELD AS MINE HAD A SMALL STAR CRACK IN IT AND NEEDED TO BE RESEALED. THAT ALONG WITH RECOMMENDING A NEW FUSE PANEL. THEY CHECKED ALL DRAIN LINES FOR SUNROOF AND SAID THEY WERE FINE. PAID THE BILL FOR THIS AT $799.58 WITH ASSURANCE THAT WATER ISSUE WAS FIXED. WELL ONE WEEK LATER AND THE FIRST RAIN SINCE AFTER SITTING IN LIGHT RAIN FOR 2 HOURS...

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO ACTIVE RECALLS AND NOTHING WRONG WITH VEHICLE, THE DEALERSHIP SUPPOSEDLY HAD TOOK IT THROUGH A HUNDRED POINT INSPECTION, IMMEDIATELY, THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, IT STARTED LOSING ANTI-FREEZE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON , AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE SERVICE DEPT AT THIS TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, I AM STILL HAVING ISSUES, THEY FIXED THE SMALL THINGS LIKE THE WATER PUMP, THE REAR WIPER BLADE, ELECTRICAL BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STILL COMES ON AND I HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND IT IS THE TRANSMISSION, IT IS GOING OUT, AND THE AIR BAG (SERVICE AIR BAG SOON) IS STILL ON, BUT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED BY A RECALL IN 2011, EITHER IT WAS A BAD PART, OR IT WAS NOT SERVICED AT ALL. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 40 YEARS AND I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A LOYAL GM OWNER, ESPECIALLY THE...

NOTHING IN THE CAR WILL MAKE SOUND ANYMORE. THE DOOR CHIMES DON'T WORK, THE BACKUP SENSOR DOES NOT SOUND, TURN SIGNALS DON'T MAKE SOUND AND THE RADIO IS ON BUT DOES NOT SOUND. I HAD TO RESET TO FACTORY SETTINGS AND IT STILL MAKES NO SOUND.

THIS VEHICLE LEAKS THROUGH THE SUNROOF AND IT GOES ALL AROUND THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. SINCE IT LEAKS INSIDE I'M AFRAID IT IS GOING TO REACH THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE. IT ALSO LEAKS AROUND WHERE THE BATTERY IS AT AN IT CAN CAUSE A SHORTAGE. WATER ALSO FALLS IN THROUGH ALL THE WAY TO THE CARPET WHERE THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE, I DON'T KNOW IF THE REAR ROWS ARE AFFECTED. THIS MAKES THE CAR HAVE A UGLY SMELL AND SOMETIMES I CAN'T EVEN BREATHE IN MY OWN CAR-- IT SMELLS EXTREMELY HUMID AND HORRIBLE. THE WATER THAT LEAKS IN ALSO LEAVES NASTY MARKS AROUND THE INTERIOR ROOF OF THE CAR THAT REALLY MAKES ME FEEL DEPRESSED AS SOON AS I OPEN MY DOOR AND SEE IT. THIS PROBLEM REALLY CONCERNS ME AND I'VE ALSO SEE MULTIPLE REVIEWS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE THAT HAVE THIS...

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE STABILITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL AND REDUCED POWER LIGHTS CAME ON. THE CAR WAS RUNNING REALLY ROUGH AND I HAD TO CROSS TRAFFIC TO PULL OVER. I TURNED IT OFF AND SAT FOR 5-10 MINUTES. I STARTED IT AND IT ACTED LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. I DROVE IT DIRECTLY TO A CHEVY DEALER AND THEY SAID THE ONLY THING THEY COULD FIND WAS THAT IT APPEARED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY HAD MOISTURE IN IT AND THE MOISTURE HAD FROZEN. THEY DRIED IT OUT AND ITS BEEN FINE, UNTIL LAST WEEK. I WAS ON MY WAY TO CHICAGO, AGAIN ON THE INTERSTATE, AND THE ALL THE LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON, THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT, BUT I DID NOT LOSE POWER THIS TIME. I'M REALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AND UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE SEVERAL MORE TRIPS TO CHICAGO IN THE NEAR FUTURE. I WOULD TAKE OUR OTHER...

HVAC BLOWER MOTOR SUBMERGED IN WATER. CAUSING MOTOR TO FAIL. NO DEFROST. EFFECTING FIELD OF VISION. NO SUNROOF ON THIS MODEL ACADIA. SEEMS TO BE FROM CONDENSATION. ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT ELECTRICAL FAILURE. *TR

MY 2008 GMC ACADIA WOULD NOT START AND THE KEY COULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A GMC DEALERSHIP. THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUNROOF WAS LEAKING INTO THE HEADLINER AND GOING STRAIGHT TO THE FUSE BLOCK. I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUSE BLOCK, BATTERY AS WELL AS SEAL THE LEAK AROUND THE SUNROOF AND COWL. GMC REFUSED TO PAY ANYTHING TOWARDS THIS REPAIR AND WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL. I SPENT $1,200 JUST TO FIX THIS DUE TO GMC'S POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP. MILEAGE OF CAR IS 104,00. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUSE PANEL WAS CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE CLUSTER STAYS DIM WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTS UP SOMETIME IT STAYS DIM FROM 5-10 MINUTES OR SOMETIMES WHEN I HIT A BUMP. ALSO THERE ARE VARIOUS TIMES WHEN IT WANT CRANK UP UNTIL I GET A JUMP START NOW IT'S BEGIN TO HAPPEN MORE REGULARLY. THE BATTERY WAS CHECKED IT'S GOOD , THE CHARGING WAS CHECKED IT'S GOOD. IT HAS BEEN CHECKED BY THE PLACE I BOUGHT IT FROM SEVERAL TIMES THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. *TR

IT STARTED AS A VERY RARE INCIDENT. WHEN WE HEARD ABOUT THE HEAVY KEY CHAIN PROBLEM WE TOOK EVERYTHING OFF OUR FOBS BUT TWO KEYS. WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED, THE IGNITION WOULD MAKE A STRANGE CLICKING NOISE AND ALL OF THE ELECTRONICS WOULD TURN OFF. THE KEY WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED,REINSERTED, AND THE CAR STARTED BEFORE EVERYTHING COULD BE RESET. ON ONE OTHER OCCASION BESIDES IT'S FINAL MELTDOWN DID IT REFUSE TO RELEASE THE KEY AND RUN THE BATTERY DOWN. LAST WEEK, ON 12/10/14, I DROVE THEE CAR AND IT ACTED UP 3 TIMES. WE DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO PUT IT IN THE SHOP. IT OPENED WITH THE FOB THAT NIGHT BUT REFUSED TO RE-LOCK 2 HOURS LATER - EVERYTHING DEAD. NEW BATTERY SO SHOULDN'T BE DEAD. TRIED TO START - ATE KEY AND REFUSED TO RELEASE UNTIL LATE NEXT DAY AFTER TRICKLE CHARGE PUT TO IT....

VEHICLE LEAKED CAUSING FUSE BOX TO SHORT OUT. *TR

WHEN DRIVING THROUGH RECENT RAINSTORM I TURNED AROUND TO GRAB A TOY FOR MY SON AND WATER WAS DRIPPING ON MY HEAD. I LOOKED UP AND IT WAS LITERALLY POURING OUT OF THE LIGHT FIXTURE AND EACH LIGHT WAS FILLED LIKE A POOL. COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE! *TR

2 DRILLED HOLES IN THE SUNROOF ARE ALLOWING WATER TO FLOW THROUGHOUT VEHICLE WIRING HARNESSES. WATER HAS SETTLED IN ENGINE AND HARNESSES. IN MY CASE, THE WATER SHORTED OUT THE AMPLIFIER. WORRIED THAT THIS COULD ALSO CREATE ELECTRICAL FIRE OR OTHER MALFUNCTION(S). *TR

THE BOSE SYSTEM IN MY 2008 GMC ACADIA STOPPED WORKING. I WAS UNABLE TO USE THE ONSTAR SYSTEM BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT SOUND COMING OUT OF THE SPEAKERS. TODAY WE REMOVED THE WIRING HARNESS IN THE REAR DOORS OF THE CAR AND FOUND WATER. *TR

SEVERE WATER DAMAGE TO VEHICLE DUE TO MANUFACTURE DEFECTIVE ROOF DRAINS. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY LIGHT BUTTONS UNDER MY RADIO WENT OUT FOR A MINUTE. THEY WAS GOING ON AND OFF WHEN I HIT THE GAS OR BRAKES. THE NEXT DAY I DROVE IT MY SIGNAL LIGHT WAS NOT SHOWING THAT IT WAS ON OR WORKING BUT IT WAS WORKING FROM THE OUTSIDE. MY HAND GAUGE WOULD DROP TO 0 AND THEN GO BACK UP TO MY CORRECT SPEED. MY RADIO SCREEN WENT OUT MY MUTE BUTTON ON STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE. WHEN I CUT MY CAR OFF AND I OPEN MY DRIVERS DOOR THE RADIO WOULD AUTOMATICALLY CUT OFF BUT NOW IT TAKES A MINUTE FOR IT TO DO SO. TODAY I WAS GOING TO GO OUT FOR LUNCH BUT WHEN I CUT MY TRUCK ON I THINK IT CUT RIGHT BACK OFF. SO I CUT IT BACK ON AND IT STAYED ON A WHILE I WAS...

I PURCHASED MY 2008 GMC ACADIA ON 9/22/11. THE FOLLOWING SUMMER ON AUGUST 25, 2012 THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHILE ON VACATION. IT WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME THE WAVE PLATE AND SNAP RING WERE BROKEN. THEY REPLACED THE CLUTCH HOUSING, ALL PISTONS, ALL FIBERS, REPLACED SIDE COVER AND PISTONS AND SEALS AND SPRINGS. THEY REPLACED CONTROL VALVE BODY SPACER PLATE AND TOM SOLENOID GASKET SCREEN. THE VEHICLE HAD 73,730 MILES ON IT. SINCE THEN I HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS TWICE, THE BATTERY ONCE. MY DASH LIGHTS ONLY WORK WHEN THEY WANT TO AND MY WINDSHIELD SPRAYER STOPPED WORKING. TO TOP IT OFF MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AGAIN JUST THE OTHER DAY!!!! IT'S NOVEMBER 10TH 2014 WITH 119,000 MILES AND I'M ALREADY NEEDING TO HAVE ANOTHER TRANSMISSION!?!? THIS VEHICLE IS JUNK, AND I STILL OWE A TON OF MONEY.....SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS!...

I'M LOGGING THESE ISSUE AS I HAVE NOW COME TO REALIZE THAT THE ISSUES WE HAVE HAD WITH OUR 2008 GMC ACADIA ARE VERY WIDESPREAD AMONG OWNERS. VERY EARLY ON IN THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE APPROX OCT 2008 WE BEGAN SEEING SMALL AMOUNTS OF WATER INSIDE THE CABIN. WATER WOULD DRIP ALONG THE WINDSHIELD OCCASIONALLY, NO ACTION WAS TAKEN AS IT WAS NOT CONSISTENT OR SO WE THOUGHT. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS MY WIFE WOULD COMPLAIN THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD "CUTOFF" OR "DIE" GENERALLY AT SLOW SPEED IN AREAS SUCH A PARKING LOTS WHEN TURNING, HOWEVER THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO RE-CREATE THE ISSUE SO NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. ONE DAY THIS SUMMER (2014) MY WIFE WAS UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE, IT JUST WOULD NOT CRANK. ON TAKING IT TO THE DEALER THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A CORRODED BATTERY CABLE THAT RAN FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE VEHICLE...

I JUST PURCHASED A 2008 GMC ACADIA ONE MONTH AGO. WE LIVE IN WASHINGTON STATE AND IT RAINS ALOT. THE FIRST COUPLE DAYS OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE, WE EXPERIENCED WATER DRIPPING ALL OVER OUR SEATS, FLOOR, AND IN CORNERS OF WINDOWS WHEN WE DROVE IT GETTING MY 3 CHILDREN AND MYSELF WET. I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS SUCH A BIG DEAL AT FIRST SINCE I FIGURED IT WAS A MINOR LEAK I COULD EASILY FIX. OVER THE NEXT 2 WEEKS, I NOTICED MY FRONT HEADLIGHT WOULD FLICKER ON AND OFF AND SOMETIMES NOT WORK AT ALL. I ALSO FIGURED IT WAS A TYPICAL VEHICLE ISSUE. UP UNTIL A WEEK AGO I TRIED TO START UP THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULDN'T START, I KNEW IT WAS THE BATTERY. I TOOK IT TO GET CHECKED ONLY TO DISCOVER THE BATTERY, WHICH IS LOCATED UNDER THE FLOOR BOARD ON THE PASSENGER BACK SIDE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER PUMP HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND SHE WAS NOT ABLE TO EXCEEDED MORE THAN 10 MPH. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE FUEL KIT, HOUSING, SENSOR AND COVER. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

THERE IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD WITH THE DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS OVERHEATING BEFORE THEY BURN OUT ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. THE BULB GETS SO HOT THAT THEY MELT THE BULB SOCKET CAUSING AN ELECTRICAL FIRE HAZARD. THE HEAT ALSO HAS MADE THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING BRITTLE AND CRACKED TO WHERE THE SOCKET WONT STAY IN PLACE INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING THUS CAUSING THE BULB TO LAY ON THE PLASTIC CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD. GENERAL MOTORS KNOWS ABOUT THIS FIRE HAZARD BECAUSE I HAVE CALLED IT TO THERE ATTENTION AND BECAUSE THEY HAVE A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM #13135. THEY HAVE ALSO RECALLED SOME 2007 AND 2009 TO 2011 VEHICLES BUT NOT 2008 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD SHUT OFF INDEPENDENTLY. ALSO, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD PROVIDE FALSE READINGS LIKE DOOR AJAR WHEN ALL DOORS WERE CLOSED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

WATER LEAKING AFTER RAIN STORM DOWN TO FLOOR MATS ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. WE HAD OUR WINDSHIELD RECENTLY REPLACED BACK IN MAY OF THIS YEAR, SO I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS MAYBE THE ISSUE AND TOOK BACK TO THE GLASS REPAIR SHOP. UPON INVESTIGATING FURTHER, THEY FOUND THAT THE ISSUE WAS HAPPENING TO MANY OF THE GMC VEHICLES ON THE ELECTRICAL RECALL. I WENT TO GM'S WEBSITE AND ENTERED MY VIN AND NOTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON OUR PERSONAL VEHICLE. IN OUR SMALL COMMUNITY THERE HAVE BEEN TWO HOUSE FIRES, MAJOR DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IGNITION ETC ON GM VEHICLES. WE DO NOT WANT TO BE THE NEXT VICTIM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL ELECTRICAL FAILURES. THE REAR DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCK, THE LIFTGATE FAILED TO OPEN, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY, AND THE BATTERY FAILED WHILE THE KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. WHEN THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED, THE KEY WAS REMOVED; HOWEVER, THE ENGINE WAS STILL OPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

MY GMC ACADIA 2008 CONSTANTLY STALLS ON ME THE ISSUES STARTED AUGUST 5 AND HAS CONTINUE UP TO LAST NIGHT AUGUST 17TH. WHILE I'M DRIVING THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF ON ME AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD APPEAR. I WONT BE ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR SO I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST GMC DEALER. AFTER PAYING FOR A DIAGNOSTIC REPORT THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES INDICATION THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EVEN CAME ON. LAST NIGHT I WAS SCARED BECAUSE I LEFT WORK AT MIDNIGHT AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 10 MINUTES THE CAR STARTED JUMPING THEN TURNED OFF AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET . I CALLED ON-STAR AND THEY WERE DISPATCHING A TOW TRUCK BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT COME ON. AFTER 45 MINUTES I TRIED TO TURN THE CAR ON AND IT CAME ON...

THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BECAME ILLUMINATED UPON PULLING OUT INTO THE ROADWAY. AT 25 MILES PER HOUR THE RPMS WERE 4000 AND IT JUST WOULD NOT SHIFT. WE PULLED OVER, CALLED FOR HELP AND WERE STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH TWO SMALL CHILDREN. WE WERE HOURS AWAY FROM HOME, AND HAD TO CALL FAMILY FROM HUNDREDS OF MILES AWAY TO COME HELP. THE VEHICLE AFTER BEING TURNED OFF AND SITTING FOR A WHILE DID THEN RETURN TO NORMAL OPERATION WHEN RESTARTED. VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME AND TWO DAYS LATER THE VERY SAME PROBLEM RECURRED. GOING TO TRADE IN THIS POS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS TURNED ON, THE CAR STARTED, BUT RATHER THAN RETURN TO THE "ON" POSITION, THE SWITCH RETURNED TO THE "OFF" POSITION AND THE MOTOR TURNED OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT ONLY ONE TIME WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY IN MOTION. *TR

DRIVING AT 35MPH, TOUCHED BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN FOR A STOPLIGHT, VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING. I PLACED IN PARK AND TURNED IGNITION TO RESTART VEHICLE, STABILTRACK LIGHT CAME ON, AND DROVE HOME WITH NO OTHER INCIDENT.HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS. *TR
