WHILE DRIVING THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHTS COME ON WHEN YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF IT GOES AWAY UNTIL YOU REACH 50 TO 55 MPH

MY 09 ACADIA IS HAVING TIMING CHAIN ISSUES. JUST ABOUT EVERYONE OF THEM DOES. WHY IS THIS NOT RECALLED?

"TAKATA RECALL" SEAT BELTS DON'T LATCH AND WHEN THEY DO, THEY COME UNLATCHED OR THEY BRAKE.. PURGE VALVE IS MALFUNCTIONING.. BACK SET DOES NOT MOVE LATCH BROKE... LEFTGATE SOMETIMES DOES NOT LATCH OR SAYS IT'S NOT LATCHED AND OPENS.. MY DASH LIGHT SAYS I NEED AIR ALL THE TIME BUT I CHECKED AND I DON'T.. BACK PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DOES NOT GO DOWN IF DRIVER TRIES TO ROLL IT DOWN... INNER TIE ROD INN DRIVER SIDE MALFUNCTIONING...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 GMC ACADIA. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, A LOUD WHINING NOISE OCCURRED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT GEARS. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SHIFTER WOULD TAKE A WHILE TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 95450230066. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

I'VE HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE RADIO. EVERY SINGLE TIME IT RAINS THE SPEAKERS GO OUT. NOTICED THERE WAS WATER IN THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS ON ALL THE DOORS WHICH ALSO AFFECTED MY WINDOWS FROM GOING UP AND DOWN. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE TRANSMISSION IS SHOT NOW. WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE, STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, AND WHEN IT TURNED GREEN, I HIT THE GAS. MY CAR DIDN'T GO. I KEPT MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF PRESSURE AND IT STARTED TO GO, BUT AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT JUST KICKED REAL HARD INTO FIRST GEAR. FELT LIKE SOMEONE REAR ENDED ME. EVERY TIME I STOPPED IT KEPT DOING IT. TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND APPARENTLY I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND TIMING CHAIN. THE CAR IS ONLY 10 YEARS OLD AND I BOUGHT THE CAR 5 YEARS AGO FROM GUNN HONDA. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO START AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT CALLED COOPER BUICK GMC (LOCATED AT 500 N 18TH ST, MONROE, LA 71201, (318) 450-6835) AND INFORMED THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 45MPH I RECEIVED A LOW OIL PRESSURE SHUT OFF ENGINE. OIL WAS FINE SO WE TOOK IT TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED. LIGHT CAME BACK ON. THERE ARE NO CODES BEING STORED IN THE SYSTEM. EVERYONE IS GUESSING WHAT COULD BE WRONG WITH IT FROM A BAD OIL PUMP OR THE PAN NEEDS TO BE CLEANED. THERE IS A FORUM A BUNCH OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND SPENDING THOUSANDS AND GETTING NOWHERE. SOME HAVE HAD TO HAVE A WHOLE NEW ENGINE INSTALLED. GM SAYS THERE ARE NO BULLETINS AND THEY WILL GIVE ME A 100 $ FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED BY A TECH. JUST TO BE CHECKED IS 250 $ NOT INCLUDING ANY FIXES FOR THE ISSUE.
