2008 GMC ACADIA Complaints

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.

SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON, NOW THE TRANSMISSION HOT IDLE ENGINE LIGHT IS POPPING ON AND ALSO SERVICE THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGT IS COMING ON. ME MY FAMILY HAD TAKEN A VACATION TO FLORIDA AND THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO STARTLE ALL THE WAY BACK TO TENNESSEE LEAVING US IN A DEVASTATED SITUATION . I WAS HOPING THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION AND AND AIR BAGS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS MANY OTHERS HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES IN THE PAST CONCERNING THEIR 2008 ACADIA VEHICLES THIS VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY EXPRESSWAY WITH A HIGH VOLUME OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. I WENT TO AUTO ZONE AND O' REILLY AUTO PARTS TO HAVE CHECK ENGINE TEST AND THE FOLLOWING CODES APPEARED DTC P2762 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH,P0700 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL,P0171 FUEL CONTROL SYSTEM. AND COMPUTER ERROR. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS VEHICLE EVER ME RECALL BUT I FEEL ME MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED AS THE FAST MOVING VEHICLE WAS COMING BEHIND US AS OUR VEHICLE LOST POWER AND CONNECTION.

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.

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.

CHECK AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. TOOK TO DEALER TO HAVE CHECKED FOR $100. STAYED OFF FOR A WHILE BUT NOW COMES ON SOMETIMES IT GOES OFF. MAKES ME WONDER IF MY AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY IF THERE IS AN IMPACT. SOMETIMES IT IS OFF WHEN CAR IS FIRST MOVING THEN COMES ON. ITS RANDOM. STARTED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. BUT IT IS ON AND OFF. MY HUSBAND HAS CHECKED IT AS WELL AS THE DEALER. THERE IS NO RECALL ACCORDING TO WEBSITE, BUT THERE SHOULD BE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT NOTICED WATER LEAKING INTO THE VEHICLE FROM THE WINDSHIELD AND SUN ROOF, WHICH CAUSED THE RADIO, WIPER BLADES, AND TURN SIGNALS TO FAIL. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE BATTERY WAS MOIST DUE TO THE WATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MAUER BUICK GMC (1111 MN-110, INVER GROVE HEIGHTS, MN 55077), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED DUE TO THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE RADIO AMPLIFIER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE CAUSE OF THE LEAK WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 164,000.

MY CAR HAS BEEN RIDING CRAZY. IT KERKS WHEM DRIVING AND THIS IS ONLY DONE WITH SERVICE STABILTRAK AND TRACTION CONTROLL SENSORS COME ON IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. TOOK TO A MECHANIC WHO REPLACE PART CONNECTED TO BRAKE THAT SUPPOSE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. WND ISSIE IS THE AIRBAG SYSYEM KEEPS FLASHING OFF AND ON. I CHECKED NHSHF WEBSITE FOR REACALLS AND IT SAYS A RECALL. BUT WHEN I CONTACTED CHEVE THEY SAID NO RECALL. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON THESE ON THIS CAR. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE

DRIVING AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WENT OFF WITH NO WARNING AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO RUN INTO A STREET POLE.

2008 GMC ACADIA WITH INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER STEERING, I HAVE 112,396 MILES AND MY SUV AS WELL AS A LOT OF OTHERS PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET HAVE LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. THIS WAS A SPECIAL COVERAGE AND THIS IS STILL HAPPING TO PEOPLE IN THESE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY PUT A TIME FRAME ON WHEN THEY WOULD COVER THE VEHICLE ISSUES. THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL AND CRASH WHEN THIS ISSUE HAPPENS. I HAVE GOT AHOLD OF GM MOTORS AND THEY SAID I AM OUT OF THE TIME FRAME AND THEY WON'T COVER IT. PLEASE HELP ME OUT AND SEE ABOUT A RECALL SO PEOPLE WON'T GET INJURED OR POSSIBLE KILLED OVER THIS ISSUE THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT. THE ISSUE LOCKS THE STEERING WHEEL AND WON'T ALLOW YOU TO TURN IT LEFT OR RIGHT. UNTIL YOU SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO TURN IT.
