THE VEHICLE LEAKS WATER ON BOTH THE RIGHT AND LEFT FLOOR BOARDS AND APPEARS TO BE ALSO COMING DOWN THE BACK OF THE FRONT DASH. THIS OCCURS IN LIGHT RAIN UP TO SEVERE RAIN.

I BOUGHT A 2007 GMC ACADIA BRAND NEW. RECENTLY HAVE BEEN HAVING SERIOUS WATER LEAKS ON PASSENGER SIDE. THE AREAS ARE THE SEATBELT AREA AND NEAR THE FLOORBOARD. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME IT RAINS AND HAPPENS RATHER QUICKLY IN THE FLOORBOARD AREA. SEVERAL TOWELS GET SOAKED WITHIN AN HOUR. MY FAMILY AND I ARE DEPENDENT ON THIS VEHICLE TO GET US TO SCHOOL AND WORK. FEELING VERY UNSURE OF PURCHASING FROM GM AGAIN DUE TO THE FACT I'VE READ SO MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS AND NO ACTION BEING TAKEN ON THEIR PART. MY YOUNG CHILDREN AND I DID LOVE THIS VEHICLE BUT NOW ARE SCARED TO GO OUT ANYWHERE WHEN IT IS RAINING. *TR

2007 GMC ACADIA. CONSUMER WRITES REGARDING THE RACK AND PINION STEERING BEING REPLACED WITH LOW MILEAGE. *TGW

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 GMC ACADIA IN NOV. OF 2007. SINCE NEW IT HAS HAD A STEERING ISSUE THAT CAN NOT BE FIXED. THE RACK AND PINION HAS BEEN REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE HAS BURNED UP NUMEROUS POWERSTEERING PUMPS. THE STEERING, WHILE IN A CURVE, WILL LOCK UP AND THEN RELEASE THROWING THE VEHICLE IN THE DIRECTION THE WHEEL IS TURNED. IT HAS THROWN THE VEHICLE INTO THE OTHER LANE OF ON COMING TRAFFIC AS WELL AS THROWING THE VEHICLE OF THE ROAD INTO A FENCE. EACH TIME THE DEALERSHIP HAS PICKED THE VEHICLE UP REPLACED THE STEERING PUMPS BUT THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 47,000 MILES ON IT. THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP AND THE SHIFTING COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED, THEN THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP AND WAS REPLACED. THE STEERING ISSUE IS ARE MAIN CONCERN. IT WAS TAKEN IN ON 9/28/10 AND RECEIVED NEW TRANSMISSION AND POWERSTEERING PUMP. WE RECEIVED THE VEHICLE ON 10/25/2010. ON, 10/28/10 THE VEHICLE STEERING LOCKED UP AGAIN THROWING MY WIFE OFF THE ROAD INTO A FENCE. THERE IS NO WAY THAT GM HAS PUT THREE BAD POWER STEERING PUMPS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT IS BINDING THE STEERING CAUSING THE PUMPS TO BURN UP. THE SAME PROBLEM HAS MADE THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE DANGER OF IT LOCKING UP AND THROWING THE VEHICLE INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE ALL SERVICE RECORDS REPORTING THIS ISSUE. I WILL NOT ALLOW MY BACK IN THIS VEHICLE AND I AM NOT COMFORTABLE TRADING IT IN FOR ANOTHER FAMILY TO BE KILLED IN IT. I COULD NOT LIVE WITH THAT. GM WILL DOING NOTHING ABOUT AS THEY HAVE BEEN CONTACTED. PLEASE HELP ME GET A REPLACEMENT FOR THIS VEHICLE (SAME YEAR MODEL TYPE AND EQUALLY EQUIPPED) AND GET THIS VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. I COULD TRADE IT IN AS GM WANTS ME TOO AND THEY WILL GIVE ME $1600 OFF THE TRADE. BUT COULD NOT SLEEP AT NIGHT KNOWING I PUT SOMEONE ELSE AND THEIR FAMILIES IN DANGER WITH THIS VEHICLE.

I PURCHASED A 2007 GMC ACADIA SLT-2 AND I HAVE NOW EXPERIENCED 3 WATER LEAKS INSIDE THE VEHICLE DUE TO DRAIN TUBES CLOGGING. THE CAR FILLS UP WITH WATER ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOORS. I WAS TOLD BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR THAT DRAIN TUBE EXTENSIONS WERE INSTALLED BUT THIS HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM IT IS UNBELIEVABLE TO THINK THAT GMC IS SELLING A FORTY THOUSAND DOLLAR CAR WITH THESE DESIGN ISSUES.
