TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. WHILE APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, TO AVOID HITTING A DOG, THE DRIVER FRONT SRS AIR BAGS DEPLOYED; ALTHOUGH, A CRASH DIDN'T OCCUR. THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT CAUSED MINOR BRUISING ON HER BODY. A COMPLAINT HAS BEEN FORWARDED TO THE MANUFACTURERS PRODUCT ALLEGATION DEPARTMENT FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION. SHE IS WAITING FOR A RESPONSE; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED, NOR HAVE ANY REPAIRS BEEN MADE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,700. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 56,886.

WE WERE DRIVING BETWEEN JACKSON HOLE AND THAYNE, WYOMING AND GOT INTO A HEAVY RAINSTORM AND STARTED TO EXPERIENCE A SLIGHT STEERING PROBLEM. IT WAS NOT UNTIL WE STOPPED AND PARKED FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN STARTED UP THAT WE REALLY EXPERIENCE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHUTTER, MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE TO THE POINT THAT WE FORCED TO PARK THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING. AFTER SITTING OVER NIGHT AND ALLOWED TO DRY OUT, THE STEERING IMPROVED, BUT THERE STILL REMAINED A SLIGHT SHUTTER AS WE START TO MOVE AND ATTEMPT TO STEER EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT. IT HAS LEFT US A LITTLE CONCERNED OVER THIS MATTER, CAUSING ME TO TAKE IT TO OUR LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP (HARMON'S MOTOR, PROVO, UTAH). THEY CHECKED THE WATER SHIELDS AND FOUND THEM IN TACT SO THEY CHOSE TO REPLACE THE SERPENTINE BELT. OTHERWISE,. THERE REMAINS A SLIGHT LAG OR PAUSE IN THE STEERING ON START UP WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH TRANSLATES INTO A SLIGHT SHUTTER. ONCE UNDER WAY, THE STEERING RETURNS TO NORMAL. *TR

2007 GMC ACADIA HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY. *NJ THE DEALER STATED EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A RUBBING SOUND, THE POWER STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY HAD NOT FAILED AND THE VEHICLE WAS STILL DRIVABLE.*JB

MY 2007 ACADIA WOULD DRIVE ABOVE 50KM IT FINALLY BROKE DOWN AND WOULDN'T MOVE. WE HAD TO GET A FLATBED TRUCK TO TAKE THE CAR IN TO GM AND FOUND OUT IT WAS THE SWAY BAR THAT WAS BROKE AS WELL AS THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AND JUST A MONTH BEFORE THIS WE HAD ISSUES WITH THE STEERING WHEEL THAT HAD TO BE FIXED. THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY THINGS WRONG WITH CAR ITS UNBELIEVABLE I WENT TO TRADE IT IN AND FINDING OUT THAT WE PAID 45,000 FOR IT BRAND NEW NOW ITS ONLY $20,000 AT THE MAX WE CAN GET FOR OUR AWD ACADIA WITH MOST OF THE BELLS AND WHISTLES. NOW IT IS LACKING POWER IN ACCELERATION AGAIN MERGING ON HIGHWAYS OR PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC THE CAR LULLS OUT AND SOUNDS LIKE ITS STUCK IN NEUTRAL AND IT FINALLY KICKS IN AND GOES VERY DANGEROUS I COULD OF BEEN REAR ENDED THE OTHER DAY BECAUSE OF THIS IT WAS A CLOSE CALL. *TR

RECURRING PROBLEM WITH STEERING COLUMN REPLACED TWICE AND STEERING PUMP REPLACED ONCE. STILL THE PROBLEM IS NOT RESOLVED. *TR

WATER ENTERING INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. POINTS OF ENTRY INCLUDE: SIDE AIR BAG OPENINGS, FOOT EMERGENCY BRAKE(WHICH IS LOCATED NEAR VEHICLE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS) SHOULDER SEAT BELT OPENINGS AND THROUGH DVD SCREEN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICE FOR THIS COMPLAINT. THE HEADLINER WAS REMOVED AND REPAIRS HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTED. MY CONCERN ARE WITH THE DAMAGE TO AIR BAG OUTPUT IN EMERGENCY DUE TO WATER, ELECTRICAL COMPONENT DAMAGE SUCH AS DVD PLAYER AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENT BY EMERGENCY BRAKE AND ALSO THE MOISTURE THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO FOR MOLD AND MILDEW. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STARTED THE IGNITION AND ACTIVATED THE WINDSHIELD WASHER. THE FLUID DISPENSED QUICKLY AND FORCEFULLY FROM THE RESERVOIR AND FAILED TO DISENGAGE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER SHE ACTIVATED THE WINDSHIELD WASHER DEVICE. ONE YEAR PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V410000 (VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:LINKAGES). THE AUTHORIZED DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE DUE TO A MISUNDERSTANDING. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND WILL BE TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 32,000.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2007 GMC ACADIA IN MARCH 2007. IN AUGUST 2008 (21,000 MILES) I BROUGHT THE CAR IN BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING WOULD SOMETIMES FAIL, ESPECIALLY IN THE RAIN. DEALER PERFORMED NEW LINERS PER MAINTENANCE BULLETIN 07-02-32-010. RETURNED CAR FOR SERVICE OF THE SAME PROBLEM OCTOBER 2008 (28,000 MILES) - DEALER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. RETURNED THE CAR AGAIN IN MAY 2009 (35,000 MILES) FOR INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER STEERING. DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING RACK. BROUGHT THE CAR BACK THE NEXT DAY BECAUSE THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED. DEALER REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP (WAS PUTTING OUT HALF THE REQUIRED PRESSURE). *TR

RECALL ON MY GMC 2007 ACADIA FOR LEAKING SUNROOF. RECALL WORK DONE ON 09/24/08. REPLACED "FAULTY DRAIN TUBES" RECALL #08207. A FEW MONTHS LATER, ON 04/03/09, MY CAR WAS LEAKING WATER ONTO THE DASHBOARD, FROM THE DOME LIGHTS, WINDOW AIRBAG. THE WATER WAS POOLED IN MY DOME LIGHTS (8 TOTAL LIGHTS). TOOK TRUCK IN TO BE REPAIRED THAT DAY. THEY COULD NOT GET TO IT FOR 3 DAYS, WORK WAS DONE ON 04/06/09. I WAS TOLD THE PROCEDURES THEY HAD TO PERFORM THE RECALL BACK IN SEPT. WERE INCORRECT, THEREFORE CAUSING THE PROBLEM/LEAKING. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAPPENED TO. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE "RECALL ON THE RECALL" AND AS A RESULT, MY SUNROOF LEAKED AND FILLED MY TRUCK WITH WATER AND WHO KNOWS WHAT TYPE OF DAMAGE WILL RESULT BECAUSE OF IT. ELECTRICAL? WILL MY AIRBAG WORK? MOLD? I WAS TOLD THERE WILL BE NO DAMAGE AS A RESULT BUT HOW CAN THAT BE GUARANTEED? *TR
