2008 GMC ACADIA Unknown Or Other Problems

The traction control turns on and then the shifts don’t work and I can’t drive since there is no speed also the rpm and the gas the speed and the battery gages start flickering up and down then I turn off the truck and it continues to work fine but after 40 miles or so it does it all again

UNKNOWN 2008 GMC ACADIA back lift starts to open and then shuts right back down. try to raise it manually and it falls right back down. It can really hurt someone. would like to know what causes it to do that and if there is a recall.

Airbag light on 24/7, ABS malfunction traction control system turns off randomly, wiper blade fluid not spraying (front, rear) engine misfire on idle, clear/white smoke from hood and burning smell.

Liftgate Malfunction: When rear liftgate is manually opened on vehicle, it continues to make a noise after it is completely opened. This noise sounds as though the liftgate is still in the process of opening. There is also an issue when closing the liftgate. Although it is properly closed, it will show a warning sign moments later in the car saying it is opened. When the car is put back in park to check, the liftgate is closed, but the latch has released. So the liftgate is able to be opened without pressing the button to open it. Sometimes it can take a few times of closing the liftgate for it to stay latched and properly closed. The automatic opening function of the liftgate does not work as well.

Well my back trunk doesnt worrk well i open it but it closes half way it almost closed on me and its done that more then 3 times and im not sure why its scary cause my child almost got hit with it not opening right.

Vehicle has a sunroof drainage issue. Water leaks in through the corners of the sunroof and spills into the dashboard and under the carpeting. The vehicle has suffered electrical damage, corrosion, and mold because of the sunroof drainage issue. I have seen forums with hundreds of other owners who have suffered the same exact sunroof drainage problem with their 2007-2008 GMC Acadias. GMC says my vehicle is not listed in the recall, but I find that laughable. There are way too many Acadia owners that have this exact issue for it not to be a problem with all Acadias.

SunROOF IS CLOGGED RAIN HAS GOTTEN INSIDE VEHICLE SOAKED UP THE FLOORS THE INTERIOR UP BY THE SUNROOF. GMC MADE RHIS MIDEL HORRIBLY AND THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE FILING OR JUST DON'T CARE. IT MESSES UP THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THEY NEED RO RECALL THE SUNROOF. RECALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ALONG WITH IT. SUNROOF IS CLOGGED

The service stability track warning will come on while driving. It will then make the SUV shut off. This is really terrifying since it happens while driving. After the SUV shuts off, you have to wait a couple minutes before you're able to restart. The last two months, the service airbag warning will come up on the screen out of no where. It will come on while driving and setting stationary. Water will pour out from the glove box while driving.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT COMING ON WHENEVER THE PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT IS PULLED TO HARD OR EVEN IF I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THIS ALSO OCCURS WHEN THE PASSENGER MAKES THE SLIGHTEST OF MOVEMENT IN THE SEAT. IT OCCURS BOTH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. IT IS STARTING TO HAPPEN MORE AND MORE AS TIME GOES ON. IT HAPPENED TODAY JUST GOING TO THE TOP OF MY DRIVEWAY WHICH IS LESS THAN A MILE LONG AND BACK TO THE HOUSE. ALSO, I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY TAILGATE RANDOMLY FALLING WHEN HALFWAY OPEN OR FULLY OPEN. THE TAILGATE HAS ALMOST CAUSED INJURY TO MY HUSBAND, BOTH OF MY BOYS AND MYSELF. THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS STATIONARY WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS AND DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME THE TAILGATE IS OPENED.

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WOULD NOT GO INTO 2ND OR ANOTHER GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT SHIFTING. I LOVE THE ACADIA BUT THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. IT DEFINITELY IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IT LEFT ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. LUCKILY I HAD A PLACE TO PULL OVER. WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS AN OUTRAGEOUS COST FOR SOMETHING THAT GMC KNOWS ABOUT.

THE RADIO RANDOMLY STOPPED WORKING A FEW WEEKS AGO AND THE SIGNAL LIGHT YOU CAN'T HEAR. NO BEEPS AT ALL ARE BEING HEARD SINCE THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING. IT TURNS ON BUT YOU CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING. YOU ALSO CAN'T HEAR ANY OF THE SENSORS IF THEY LIGHT UP ON THE DASH.

TRANSMISSION FAILED, TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR, TRANSMISSION STUCK IN FIRST GEAR, GM APPROVED A 2013 SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED IN 2017, THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPAIRED AND THE ENTIRE ENGINE HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING AGAIN BECAUSE IT IS A PRODUCT DEFECT THAT IS DANGEROUS. GM HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE AND THE AUTONATION HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE. GM AND AUTONATION HAVE SOLD A DANGEROUS USED CAR WITH A FRAUDULENT INTENT. GM AND AUTONATION HAVE RATIFIED THE INTENTIONAL FRAUD. THE CAR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE IT IS STILL DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND THE TRANSMISSION IS CURRENTLY FAILING AGAIN.

THIS CAR HAS LEAKED SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM MULTIPLE TIMES. THE LAST TIME THEY LOOKED AT IT THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A LEAK BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND WHERE IT WAS. MY AMP HAS SHORTED OUT DUE TO ALL THE WATER AND I CAN IMAGINE WHAT'S NEXT. I AM SO SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE OF WHAT COULD GO OUT NEXT. I WISH GMC WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT ALL OF OUR ISSUES WITH THE SAME WATER LEAK! I AM GETTING PRETTY TIRED OF GETTING RAINED ON INSIDE MY CAR.

MY LIFT GATE DOOR FELL AND HIT ME IN THE HEAD OUT OF NO WHERE AND MY CAR IS NOT ON THE LIST FOR THE RECALL FOR THAT EXACT PROBLEM. MY AIRBAG INDICATOR GOES OFF ALL THE TIME EVEN IF NO ONE IS IN THE FRONT SEAT. MY SPEEDOMETER BARELY WORKS, IT GOES COMPLETELY AROUND AND I CAN'T GET IT TO RESET. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP JUST TO BE TOLD IT'S A SENSOR THAT CAUSES IT ALONG WITH THE SLOW CRANKING BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHICH ONE IT WAS BECAUSE MY CAR HAS 4.

MY CAR LEAKS ALL AT THE TOP OF THE CAR WHEN IT RAINS. THE SUNROOF DOES NOT LEAK BUT AROUND THE WINDSHIELD LEAKS, IN THE BACK SEAT BY THE LIGHTS IT LEAKS AND AT THE EMERGENCY BREAK IT LEAKS. MY CAR GETS FLOODED AND THE FLOORING IS GETTING NASTY AND MOLDED. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE MOVING OR LET IT SIT ALONE, WHEN IT RAINS LIGHT OR HARD THE CAR FLOODS ON THE INSIDE. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN FEBRUARY 2016 AND IT HAS LEAKED SINCE I FIRST GOT THE CAR BUT ONLY GETTING WORSE.

WORSE PROBLEM IS THE GEAR SHIFTER, WHEN IS COOL IT WILL SHIFT BUT AFTER I AM DRIVING IT I CANT HARDLY GET IT TO CHANGE GEARS OR GO INTO PARK. MY LIFT GATE KEEP COMING DOWN WHEN OPEN. ALSO MY

WATER LEAKAGE INSIDE OF MY VEHICLE

WATER LEAKS INSIDE THE CAR WHEN IT RAINS MOSTLY ON THE FRONT AREA COMING FROM THE ROOF AN THE SIDE DOORS.

TAKATA RECALL- I PURCHASED A 2008 GMC AWD ACADIA ABOUT A YEAR AGO. WHILE TEST DRIVING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED A WHINY SOUND THAT I INFORMED THE DEALER ABOUT UPON RETURN. THE DEALER CHECKED IT OUT AND TOLD ME IT JUST NEED POWER STEERING FLUID. SO HE FILLED THE FLUIDS AND I HEARD NOTHING FOR A MONTH OR SO. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK FOR MISC. REPAIRS TWO OTHER TIMES AFTER THAT REGARDING SOUNDS THAT I WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. AFTER THAT THINGS SEEMED FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS OR SO. EARLY SEPTEMBER, THE TRUCK SLOWED DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. THE DASH WAS READING 60MPH BUT I WAS REALLY GOING 30MPH. THEN WHILE EXITING TO TURN OFF THE HIGHWAY THE POWER STEERING BEGAN ACTING UP AND WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN. I ALMOST RAN INTO THE WALL NOT PREPARED TO USE SUCH FORCE. AUGUST 29TH I WENT TO...

THE HATCHBACK WON'T STAY UP. MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE HATCHBACK FALLING RECALL.

THIS CAR IS A LEAKING VEHICLE. AFTER A HEAVY RAIN I GOT IN MY CAR AND WATER JUST CAME FLOODING INTO MY VEHICLE. I HAD IT REPAIRED AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASE THE CAR. SHORTLY AFTER MY STEREO SYSTEM WENT OUT I HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY AMP. BUT BECAUSE OF THE ESTIMATED REPAIR COST I CHOSE NOT TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. JUST RECENTLY MY SON PULLED THE DEVICE INSIDE THE DOOR AND ALL OF F THEM WERE FULL OF WATER. IT'S LIKE ALL MY SEALS ARE LEAKING ON MY VEHICLE. FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK. I'M REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I MAY NOT BE THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE RESPOND

SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK THE I GET AN ON AND OFF MESSAGE TO SERVICE THE AIR BAG. ALSO WHILE I AM DRIVING THE TRUCK OVER HEATS AND WHEN I COME TONA STOP AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND COMPLETELY REMIVE THE KEY. THE ENGINE STAYS ON AND WATER PUMP STARTS TO BUBLE AS IF THE WATER WAS BOILING AND AFTER ABOUT FIVE MINUTES THERE IS NO WATER IN THE PUMP AND WHEN YOU ADD WATER THE WATER GET EXTREMELY HOT. I HAVE SEEN IN OTHER FORUMS WHERE ALL HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE QUALITY OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE FOUR SMALL CHILDREN AND DON'T FEEL SAFE HOWEVER THE TRUCK IS FINANCED AND I HAVE NO OPTION.

BOUGHT 2008 ACADIA LOVE CAR BUT WHEN IT RAINS IT LEAKS IN HEADLINER HAD DRAIN TUBES CLEANED WORKED ABOUT A MONTH NEEDED TO BE DONE AGAIN CALLED GM ABOUT A RECALL SAID THEY HADN'T HAD ANY COMPLAINTS WHICH I SEE IS NOT TRUE BUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE DRAIN TUBES IS THE ELBOW WHAT IDIOT WOULD EXPECT TO HAVE GOOD DRAINAGE WITH A ELBOW CONNECTED TO A SMALL DRAIN TUBE GM DOESN'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AND NEEDS SOMEONE WITH COMMON SENSE TO DESIGN SUCH PARTS. IF IT DOESN'T WORK THEY SHOULD FIX IT THESE VEHICLES ARE HIGH PRICED AND CHEAPLY MADE. DRIVING OR PARKED STILL LEAKS

CAR ROLLS WHEN IN PARK. I HAVE VIEWED HUNDREDS OF COMMENTS ONLINE OF THE SAME MAKE/MODEL/YEAR DOING THE SAME THING.

MY 2008 GMC ACADIA LEAKS WATER IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT LOCATIONS INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN IT RAINS. IT HAS LEAKED WATER THROUGH THE AIR BAGS AND I'M NOW CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAGS COULD BE WATER DAMAGED AND COMPROMISED. IT LEAKS THROUGH ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. IT SMELLS LIKE MOLD AND MILDEW IN THE CAR. CONDENSATION BUILDS UP IN THE CAR FREQUENTLY AFTER IT RAINS. THE CAR WILL ALSO SPUTTER AND ACT LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY SOMETIMES. IT TELLS ME TO 'SERVICE TRACTION CONTROLS' AND 'SERVICE STABILITRACK'.

THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF ABRUPTLY WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE AS TURNED OFF IN A PARKED-IDLING POSITION, ROLLING AT FIVE MPH, AND EVEN BETWEEN 60-70 MPH. MOST OF THE TIME WHEN THE CAR SHUTS DOWN, YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR WITHOUT REMOVING THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND INSERTING IT TO THE ON POSITION CYCLING THAT MOTION FOUR TO FIVE TIMES. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND SPOKEN TO OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR AS I HAVE AND THEY ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I AM CERTAIN I AM NOT THE ONLY COMPLAINT REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY FOR MY FAMILY AND MYSELF BECAUSE AS MENTIONED BEFORE, THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM. THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER THERE IS NOT. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

BOUGHT VEHICLE WITH ONLY 23K MILES ON IT, TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING UP WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF DRIVING IT, TAKEN TO A DEALER, SAID NOTHING WRONG, ANOTHER YEAR LATER GOT WORSE, TOOK IT IN TO A DIFFERENT DEALER, NOTHING WRONG, 6 MONTHS LATER TOOK IT IN BEFORE GOING ON VACATION, NOTHING WRONG, BUT HAD PROBLEMS WHILE ON VACATION, 6 MONTHS LATER, 1,500 MILES AWAY FROM HOME ON VACATION, DRIVING DOWN A 75 MILE AN HOUR SPEED LIMIT DIVIDED HIGHWAY, TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITH NO WARNING, NO DASH WARNING, TOOK IN TO A TRANSMISSION DEALER (SINCE WE COULDN'T GET INTO A DEALER) AND SAID WE WOULDN'T MAKE IT HOME THE WAY IT WAS. 5 GRAND LATER AND A MESS OF A VACATION LATER WE WERE ON OUR WAY HOME. LESS THAN 3 MONTHS LATER, TIGHTEN GAS CAP LIGHT ON DASH, CHECK TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT ON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. FOUND OUT...

HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE CLEANING IT OUT. HATCH WAS UP AND DOORS WERE OPEN. VEHICLE WAS NOT RUNNING. I WAS IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE PUTTING THE 2 BACK SEATS DOWN. I HAD 1 LEG INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE OTHER HANGING OUT OF THE BACK. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BACK GATE CAME CRASHING DOWN WITH NO WARNING ONTO MY LEG. I COULD NOT GET OUT AND HAD TO YELL FOR HELP FOR SOMEONE TO LIFE THE LIFT GATE OFF OF MY LEG. I HAVE NOT SEEN A DOCTOR YET BUT I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO AS MY LEG IS SWOLLEN AND PURPLE.

THE MOST RECENT HEAVY DOWNPOUR OF RAIN THIS PAST WEEK RESULTED IN WATER POURING IN FROM MY HEADLINER!! DOWN BOTH VISORS AND DOWN SEATBELT POSTS. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM THAT HAS OCCURRED ON THE EXACT MODEL VEHICLE AND YEAR BUT WITH DIFFERENT VIN NUMBERS ASSOCIATED. I CALLED GM AND THEY STATED IT'S ON ME TO FIX. IT'S THE EXACT DEFECT A HUGE RECALL WAS ISSUED ON SEVERAL YEARS AGO, LIKE I SAID FOR DIFFERENT VIN BUT SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR, AND IT INVOLVES THE SAME NEW KITS NEEDING INSTALLED THAT WERE FOR THAT RECALL. PRESENTLY WAITING FOR MY APPT AT MY LOCAL GM DEALER TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM AND NOT HAPPY ABOUT THE CASE I OPENED WITH GM CORPORATION TO BASICALLY BE ADVISED THIS MORNING 'OH WELL... WASN'T FOR YOUR PARTICULAR VIN SO YOU'RE OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS'. NOT COOL!!! PLEASE ADVISE WHAT CAN BE DONE/ISSUE A...

TRANSMISSION GONE COMPLETELY

I HEAR WATER SWISHING AROUND IN THE CEILING, HOWEVER NOTHING SEEMS TO BE WET. THE SUNROOF IS ALWAYS CLOSED. TWENTY MINUTES INTO THE DRIVE TO WORK, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE WAS NOT ENGAGED).... THE DASH BRAKE LIGHT AND CHIME SOUND CONTINUED UNTIL I REACHED MY DESTINATION. WHEN I FINALLY STOPPED AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON...BOTH HAD STOPPED. AFTER COMPLETING MY WORK DAY, I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE DASH LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN...THE BRAKE WAS NOT ENGAGED....I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED...THEN IT WENT AWAY. I STILL HERE WATER IN THE ROOF WHEN I TURN CORNERS.

2ND TIME TO DEALER FOR WATER LEAK FROM SUNROOF (THIS TIME FROM SUNROOF THAT DOES NOT OPEN). SOAKING WET PASSENGER FLOOR, FUSE BOX OPENED FROM WATER, WATER COMING FROM SIDE PILLARS. DIAGNOSIS LAST TIME WAS TUBES, THIS TIME WINDOW REPLACED AND ENTIRE ROOF SEALED. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WATER RUNNING THRU FUSE BOX/ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. COMMON PROBLEM, TSB'S AND YET NO RECALL BY GM. DEALER REFUSES TO HONOR TSB & REQUEST GM PAY FOR REPAIRS. $400.00 JUST FOR LABOR. READING ALL OVER THE INTERNET PLUS TSBS, WATER DAMAGE IS COMMON FOR 2008 ACADIA AND FUTURE VEHICLES. THE GOVERNMENT ALLOWING GM TO CONTINUE PUTTING OUR LIVES AT RISK & NOT FORCING A RECALL IS RIDICULOUS. I UNDERSTAND NORMAL WEAR & TEAR BUT GM ACADIA'S ARE DEFECTIVE, ALL OF MY REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DUE TO DEFECTS!

THERE ARE MANY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. DID DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THEY FIX THEM AND YET THEY'RE STILL NOT RESOLVED. THESE ISSUES INCLUDE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, THE AIRBAG SYSTEM, THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM, ISSUES WITH WATER LEAKING THROUGH THE SUNROOF, L]]AS WELL AS WATER LEAKING INTO THE INTERIOR LIGHTS. THERE ARE ALSO ISSUES WITH LIFTGATE WORKING CORRECTLY. ALL OF THESE ARE ISSUES WITH MY ACADIA. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO TO HANDLE THIS PROPERLY. THIS CAR HAS TURNED INTO A DEATH TRAP. I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR YEARS TO GET THESE THINGS RESOLVED. I HAVE GOT TO RUN AROUND THE ENTIRE TIME.

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...

THE ENGINE STUTTERS AND JOLTS, TRACTION CONTROL KEEPS KICKING ON AND CAR IS STALLING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

I'M HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS DIAGNOSED BY TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS. I FOUND THAT GMC ANNOUNCED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS SPECIFIC REPAIR. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD GMC MIGHT NOT COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS "TOO NEW," SO I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CAR -- WITH THE PROBLEM -- UNTIL IT BECOMES SEVERE ENOUGH FOR A PROPER CODE TO COME UP ON DIAGNOSTICS. THIS MAKES ME FEEL VERY UNSAFE AND ANGRY. *TR

RUNNING HOT

RECENTLY WE HAD A LOT OF RAIN AND I NOTICED IT ONCE BEFORE WHEN IT RAINS CONSTANTLY WATER ENTERED THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. HAD THE CAR CHECKED EVERYTHING SEEMED OKAY BUT ON 2 OCTOBER 2016 THE RAIN WAS COMING IN THE CARE THROUGH THE AIRBAGS AND WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF THE ENGINE KEPT RUNNING. THE FOLLOWING MORNING NO RAIN BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T START AND THE KEY GOT STUCK IN THE IGNITION. I FIND THIS TO BE COSTLY WHEN THE BATTERY NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD. JUST NEED TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVE BECAUSE PUTTING MY CAR IN A GARAGE ON RAINY DAYS IS NOT AN OPTION FOR ME.

1) A TRANSMISSION SWITCH PLATE ERROR - WARRANTY REPAIR (GMC NEVER PAID MY HOTEL/RENTAL CAR CLAIM. ON HWY WITH FAMILY. 2) TRANSMISSION ISSUE - PAID CLOSE TO $2000. I ASKED IF THIS WOULD LEAD TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE; THEY TOLD ME NO, CAR WOULD BE GOOD TO GO.THE PERSON WHO HELPED ME NO LONGER WORKS AT THE EL PASO DEALERSHIP WHEN I REPORTED HE TRIED TO OVERCHARGE ME. DRIVING ON HWY IN EL PASO WITH KIDS. 3) TRANSMISSION - PAID $4000+ FOR TRANSMISSION (GMC CLAIMS NOT RELATED TO THE PREVIOUS REPAIR); DISCUSSED WITH SERVICE DEPT IF WE SHOULD SPEND MORE MONEY ON THE CAR...THEY TOLD ME THE NEW TRANSMISSION WOULD WORK. (MILEAGE WAS 125K) THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE MOVING FROM EL PASO TO COLORADO SPRINGS...NO SAFE PLACE TO STOP. 4) 2 MOS LATER (NOW) - CLAIM THE TIMING BELT FAILED AND RH TIE RODS NEED REPAIR AND THEY SAY I DECLINED...

TAKATA RECALL I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO HAVE RECALL ON POWER LIFT GATE COMPLETED. (15240). UPON COMPLETION OF RECALL, LIFT GATE BECAME INOPERABLE. DEALER NOW WANTS ME TO PAY $500.00 TO GET IT WORKING AGAIN. LIFT GATE WORKED FINE WHEN VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN IN FOR SERVICE. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT ACTION I CAN TAKE.

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 HAD A RECALL FOR MY DRIVER SIDE, SIDE IMPACT AIR BAG WIRE HARNESS. THE DEALER IN DULUTH MN (KOLAR) FIXED IT BUT LIGHT CAME ON FOR CHECK ENGINE. BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY ARE TELLING ME IT IS THE PPS SENSOR FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS, BUT NOT ON MY ACADIA. THEY WANT $600 PLUS LABOR TO REPLACE. TOTALING AROUND $950. HAD ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE POWER LIFT GATE, STATING THAT THE STRUTS COULD POSSIBLY FAIL PREMATURELY, CAUSING THE POWER LIFT GATE TO DROP. AS I WAS LOADING THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE, THE LIFT GATE SUDDENLY DROPPED ON MY HEAD. I BROUGHT IT TO KOLAR IN DULUTH MN AND TOLD THEM THAT THE STRUTS FROM THE RECALL WERE SHOT AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP AFTER A DAY OF THEM TELLING ME THAT THE RECALL HAD BEEN SUCCESSFUL. A WEEK AFTER...

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.

THE VEHICLE DESCRIBED IN THIS COMPLAINT HAS A LEAK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN ROOF. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER TO HAVE PROBLEM RESOLVED. TECH INDICATED THAT WATER WAS DRAINING SLOWLY. TECH INDICATED THAT DRAINS WERE BLOWN OUT AND WATER WAS DRAINING OUT IN A FASTER RATE. AS OF TODAY'S RAIN STORM, SUN ROOF CONTINUES TO LEAK . LEAK OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE IS SITTING STILL AND DURING MOVEMENT.

TRANSMISSION STARTED GETTING SLUGGISH AROUND 88, 000 MILES. VEHICLE WOULDN'T CRANK DUE TO ELECTRICAL STABILIZER, NOW MY SUNROOF IS LEAKING. DEALERSHIP IS GOING TO CHARGE ME $275 DOLLAR TO UNBLOCK THE SUNROOF DRAINS WHAT A RIP OFF WHEN THIS IS THE THREE TIME I HAVE HAD THE DRAINS CLEANED AND THE SUNROOF STILL LEAK. THIS HAS TO BE A GMC PROBLEM THAT THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE. THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL UNDER THE GMC WARRANTY SO THANK GOD I DON'T HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THAT. THE ELECTRICAL MODULES SEEM TO BE OKAY FOR NOW BUT AT ANY GIVING TIME THE VEHICLE MAY STOP WORKING. GMC SHOULD OWN UP TO THESE PROBLEMS AND LOOK OUT FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS.

I MADE A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT FILED HERE UNDER NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10765088. THE LOCAL GARBER GMC DEALERSHIP SEALED THE SUNROOF AND CLEANED THE CLOGGED HOSES THAT DRAIN WATER FROM THE ROOF. THEY ALSO REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG FOR A TOTAL OF $600. THEY GAVE A GUARANTEE THAT THERE WOULD BE NO MORE LEAKS. ON NOVEMBER 18 THE CAR BEGAN LEAKING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AREA AND WATER POURED FROM THE ROOF ONTO THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT WHEN I MADE A FULL STOP. CURRENTLY AWAITING A RETURN CALL FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER OF GMC DEALER. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM. I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN FROM ONE COLLEGE CAMPUS LOCATION TO ANOTHER, IN OTHER WORDS MANY STOP AND GO AND SIDE STREETS AT 30 MPH OR LESS. THE CAR MADE SQUEALING NOISES AS WELL WHICH HAPPENED LAST TIME TOO (SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR).

POWER LIFTGATE DOES NOT WORK. LIFTGATE WILL NOT OPEN ON ITS OWN, AND WHEN I OPEN IT, IT SLAMS DOWN. THIS COULD CAUSE INJURY TO ME OR MY CHILDREN.

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.

DURING ACCELERATION THE VEHICLE VIBRATES WHEN GOING BETWEEN 35 AND 45 MPH. WAS NOT ABLE TO REPRODUCE ISSUE AT DEALERSHIP LAST FALL, BUT IS NOW GETTING MUCH WORSE. HAPPENS ALMOST EVERYTIME THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES.

THE LIFTGATE ON MY 2008 GMC ACADIA DOES NOT STAY UP AND KEEPS COMING DOWN ON OUR HEADS AND BODY.. I SAW THAT THERE WERE RECALLS ON THIS ITEM BUT NOT ON MY VIN?? THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.
