MY PASSENGER SIDE HEAD LIGHT WENT OUT ON MY 2007 GMC ACADIA. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANY LONGER IT HAS 45,000 MILES ON IT. THIS WILL BE THE 3RD TIME I'VE NEEDED MY HEAD LIGHTS TO BE REPLACED AND THEY TELL ME THAT THE HARNESS IS MELTED. FROM READING ONLINE I SEEM TO NOT BE THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY WILL HAVE TO LET ME KNOW HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO REPLACE. *TR

VEHICLE IS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TURNS OFF WHEN THERE IS A PERSON SITTING IN THE SEAT WHENEVER THEY MOVE. SOMETIMES THE AIRBAG REMAINS OFF FOR 10 TO 15 MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BAD OCCUPANCY MODULE AND LOOP CONNECTOR. THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL FOR THESE ISSUES, HOWEVER MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. AFTER TALKING TO GMC, THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND I SHOULD PAY THE $1700 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND HOPE THAT I GET REIMBURSED AT A LATER DATE. *TR

I OWN A 2007 GMC ARCADIA AND SOMETIMES WHEN I GO THROUGH WATER (IF IT'S BEEN A HEAVY RAIN) MY POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK AND IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR WHICH COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT HAPPENED WHEN WE WERE ON VACATION AND WE STOPPED AT A AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND THE OWNER CAME OUT AND OPENED THE HOOD AND SHOWED MY HUSBAND THAT THE POWER STEERING SERPENTINE BELT SLIPPED. THERE IS NO COVERING OVER THE BELT AND WHEN IT GETS WET, IT CAN SLIP. WHEN WE EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED, THAT WE LOST THE POWER STEERING, HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AS HE HAD OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IF WE HAD BEEN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, DOING 65 MILES AN HOUR IT COULD HAVE BEEN A TRAGEDY. IT ALSO HAPPENED AGAIN DURING THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY. *TR
