2007 GMC ACADIA Complaints

EVERY TIME IT RAINS THE CAB LEAKS WATER EVERYWHERE INSIDE VEHICLE, CAN'T EVEN GO THROUGH A CAR WASH.....ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE MOLD, MILDEW AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS OCCUR..NOT TO MENTION HAVING TO WHERE A RAIN SUIT IN THE CAR EVERY TIME IT RAINS. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION ON OUR '07 ACADIA WENT OUT AFTER ONLY 67,000 MILES. WE HAD TO PAY OVER $3,000 OUT OF OUR OWN POCKETS TO GET IT REPAIRED BECAUSE IT WAS OVER THE FIVE YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD EVEN THOUGH IT WAS STILL WELL UNDER THE MILEAGE LIMIT. WHEN YOU PAY OVER $30,000 FOR A VEHICLE YOU EXPECT IT TO LAST LONGER THAN OURS DID WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY THOUSANDS MORE TO KEEP IT OPERATIONAL. A FEW MONTHS AFTER GETTING THE DRIVE TRAIN REPAIRED WE ARE EXPERIENCING CAMSHAFT/CRANKSHAFT ISSUES. THE VEHICLE IS FUNCTIONING AT ABOUT 60% OF ITS ORIGINAL POWER. WE CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THIS WILL ENTAIL ANOTHER COSTLY REPAIR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND THE GEAR ASSEMBLY WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE CONTACT NOTICED A WHINING NOISE IN THE STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THE POWER STEERING GEAR, PUMP AND HOSE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000. *TR...UPDATED 05/29/13 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE FAILURE RECURRED . THE PUMP AND GEAR ASSEMBLY WERE REPLACED APRIL. 2013. UPDATED 06/11/2013 *JS

ENGINE LIGHT ON VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR - HAPPENED THREE TIMES HAD TO PULL OFF SIDE OF ROAD TO NOT GET HIT FROM OTHER VEHICLES AND 5 YEAR OLD WAS ALSO IN CAR WITH ME. HAD TO SHUT OFF THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET STARTED AGAIN AND FOR IT TO FINALLY SHIFT INTO GEARS. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE VALVE. ON 4/1/13 CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE ON INCLINE. HAD TO DRIVE FORWARD AND REVERSE ON FLAT AREA, DEALER NOW SAYS THEY FOUND BROKEN WAVE PLATE AND BURNED 3-5 REVERSE CLUTCH. ALSO FOUND INTERNAL DEFECT PARK OF VALVE BODY. CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS ONLY 55 THOUSAND MILES ON IT. SAW OTHER ISSUES ON THIS DATABASE ALL WITH BROKEN WAVE PLATES ON 07 ACADIAS. PAID THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO GET THIS FIXED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 40 MPH. IN ADDITION, THE GEAR SHIFTER COULD NOT BE MOVED INTO REVERSE. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 87,400.

AFTER SPENDING $370.51 AT MY LOCAL GMC DEALER FOR STABILITRAK ERRORS RESULTING IN LOW FUEL INPUT INTO THE ENGINE, WITH A MAXIMUM SPEED ALLOWABLE AT 35 MPH, MY 2007 GMC ACADIA IS ONCE AGAIN EXPERIENCING STABILITRAK ERRORS. THEY GENERALLY OCCUR WHEN I ROLL TO A STOP AT A STOPSIGN OR STOPLIGHT, BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL REDUCE SPEED WHEN I TRAVEL THE INTERSTATE. MY LOCAL GMC DEALER CLAIMED THIS PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY A "CAM EXHAUST POSITION SENSOR FAULT" AND REPLACED THE "CAM EXHAUST POSITION SENSOR" ON 3-20-13 FOR $370.51. FOR ONE WEEK THIS REPAIR WORKED AND THERE WERE NO STABILITRAK ERRORS. TEN DAYS LATER, MY 2007 GMC ACADIA FWD IS WORSE THAN EVER, ENDANGERING ME AT NIGHT BY SHIFTING SUDDENLY INTO "STABILITRAK ERROR, LOW FUEL INPUT" MODE. I AM TERRIFIED THAT MY GMC DEALER WILL CHARGE ME MORE MONEY TO PRETEND-FIX THIS PROBLEM, AS THEY HAVE ME COMING IN FOR $400-$1,100 REPAIRS EVERY OTHER MONTH NOW SINCE THEY WANT TO SELL ME A NEW CAR. *TR

NO PREVIOUS SYMPTOMS. COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO GO IN REVERSE. GOT TOWED TO THE DEALER. DIAGNOSIS - WAVE PLATE FRACTURE. FOUND MANY MANY 2007 GMC ACADIA'S HAD THIS PROBLEM, THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. THIS HAPPENED 1 YEAR AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, BUT ONLY 74419 MILES, AND NEVER DRIVEN IN EXTREME CONDITIONS AND NEVER TOWED. *TR

GOING DOWN HIGHWAY AND TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING UP. COULDN'T GO OVER 25 MPH AND HAD NO REVERSE. HAD NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN AND THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

NO RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS? BOUGHT 2007 ACADIAR USED, 2600 MILES /FELT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS EARLY ON. VERY NOTICEABLE JERK AT 40MPH. IN AND OUT OF DEALERSHIP SINCE. LAST FEW MONTHS CAR HAS BEEN IN TO DEALER FREQUENTLY RE CAR BUCKING AT STOP LIGHTS REALLY ROUGH THOUGHT ENGINE GOING TO DIE. EVERY TIME NOTHING SHOWED IN CODES, EMERGENCY TRIP TO DOCTOR/HEAVY TRAFFIC MAIN ARTERY/CAN'T GET OVER 20MPH/ENGINE SCREAMING/ MAKE IT TO DR. (OMG) TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. TRANSMISSION GONE. I COULD HAVE HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. FINALLY HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT A WAVE PLATE. FOR 5 YRS I'VE SAID SOMETHING WRONG. NO ONE SAID THESE WERE CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH ACADIAS. THEY ISSUED RECALLS FOR A LEAK IN THE SUN ROOF. NO RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS? KNOWN DEFECTIVE WAVE PLATES? I HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT MANY DON'T. WARRANTY OR NOT, THIS SAFETY HAZARD SHOULD BE FIXED BY GMC AT THEIR EXPENSE. A RECALL IS MANDATED. JUST ASK THE OWNERS. . . *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE ABOVE (20MPH?). I WAS FORCED TO PARK IT AT AN APARTMENT COMPLEX AND GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. NOW LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AFTER PAYING OUT OF POCKET FOR THAT REPAIR, I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
