2007 GMC ACADIA Complaints

TRANSMISSION FAILURE. WE WERE DRIVING OUT OF TOWN ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH AND ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED INDICATING THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DISENGAGED. COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF THE IMPENDING FAILURE OTHER THAN SOME TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE EARLIER IN THE TRIP. TRANSMISSION DID NOT WORK AT ALL IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. HAD TO BE TOWED TO AN OUT OF TOWN SHOP AND RENT A CAR TO GET BACK HOME. REPAIR SHOP STATED THAT TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (APPROX. $4,500) AND THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. SHOCKING THAT IT FAILED AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. WE WERE ADVISE BY OUR LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TO CONTACT GM BUT THEY HAVE NOT CONTACTED US BACK. WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GET THE REPAIRS DONE SO WE HAVE THE VEHICLE BACK. I JUST WANTED TO INCLUDE OUR INCIDENT ALONG WITH THE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS. WE WILL WARN OTHER ACADIA OWNERS WHO WE KNOW OF THE PROBLEM (ACADIAS ARE COMMON WHERE WE LIVE) AND THE MANY OTHER PROBLEMS THAT IT HAS (BASED ON THE NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS AND SERVICE BULLETINS). *TR

JUST PURCHASED 2007 GMC ACADIA 2 WEEKS AGO AND DISCOVERED A MAJOR SUNROOF LEAK. THE LEAK IS VERY BAD. THEN I FOUND OUT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE NOW I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT I AM MAKING PAYMENTS ON WITH A PROBLEM THAT I'M SURE WILL LEAD TO OTHER MAJOR PROBLEMS. *TR

THE 2007 GMC ACADIA AND OTHER VEHICLES BUILT ON THE LAMBDA PLATFORM ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THESE VEHICLES INTERMITTENTLY LOOSE POWER STEERING DURING THE RAIN. GMC IS AWARE OF THIS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS CREATED A SERVICE BULLETIN, BUT THE ALLEGED REPAIR DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND CONTINUES TO ALLOW THESE DANGEROUS VEHICLES TO BE ON THE ROAD. GM HAS REFUSED TO RECALL THE EFFECTED VEHICLES. I HAVE REPEATEDLY REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE DEALER, GM EXECUTIVES, GM ENGINEERS AND THE GM ENGINEERS HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS DANGEROUS PRODUCT DEFECT, BUT REFUSED TO ACT. *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ON LABOR DAY. SUDDENLY MY GMC ACADIA TRANSMISSION STARTS SLIPPING AND I AM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. MY VEHICLE STARTS SLOWING DOWN AND I HAVE NO CONTROL OF SPEED. LUCKY FOR ME AND MY SON I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT CREATING AN ACCIDENT. I LOOK ONLINE TO FIND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR MANY CARS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL?? *TR

STEERING LOCKS UP WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD CAUSING YOU TO LOSE ALL CONTROL OF YOUR VEHICLES STEERING. WE ALMOST HIT TRAFFIC LIGHT AND HIT BY A SEMI ON THE INTERSTATE. ALSO TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WILL LOOSE ALL POWER WHEN YOUR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED OR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT NEEDS TO BE OPENED. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 88,000 MILES ON IT AND IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE. *TR

I CONTINUALLY HAVE A MESSAGE IN MY DISPLAY TO SERVICE AIRBAGS; I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN AT LEAST 3 DIFFERENT TIMES AND PAID EACH TIME FOR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO DETERMINE WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND THE MESSAGE CONTINUES TO DISPLAY. I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE OF ALL THE ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE AIRBAGS. IT ISN'T FAIR TO HAVE TO PAY FOR SO MANY INSPECTIONS WITH NO RESULTS AND ESPECIALLY FOR SUCH A SERIOUS CONDITION. *TR
