#11564926 | Crash

Check engine light came on for the TCM. Car has had issues shifting (very rough shifting) and the manual shift option does not work. Was told the TCM had to be replaced. Attempt was made to replace it with a refurbished TCM but that couldn't be programmed to the car. Was then told I would have to buy a brand new one, which is very expensive, and that there was no guarantee that would fix the problem. Car can not be driven over 20mph without risking burning up the transmission. Car also jerks forward very hard when trying to gently accelerate.

The headlights don't work even after replacing. It rains in the vehicle from the sunroof. The gas tank isn't registering even after fixing it. So the engine doesn't know how much to put out etc etc and it makes the car jerk horribly. This vehicle is a fire hazard due to raining inside on everything upfront. I have kids I pray nothing happens!!

I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR BROUGHT IN FOR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. AFTER THE DEALER DID A FULL TEST, THEY NARROWED IT DOWN TO THE GAS TANK AREA. IT WAS A FUEL MODULE BROKEN AT THE FLANGE AND ALSO THEY RECOMMENDED THE FUEL SENSOR TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN NOTICING A LOT OF VEHICLE COMING IN WITH THE SENSOR GOING BAD. THE DEALER ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THE 2008 ACADIA'S HAVE A DESIGN FLAW IN THE GAS TANK AND THERE IS A CHANCE IN THE FUTURE IT MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED, BUT FOR NOW THE TANK LOOKS REALLY GOOD.
