SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS NEW 2007 GMC ACADIA. MOST PREVALENT IS THE FAILURE OF THE GAS GAUGE NOT READING THE GAS READING CORRECTLY. 1ST TIME NOTICED AND TAKEN FOR SERVICE WAS 3 MO. OLD. THE GAS GAUGE READS (E) WHEN I'VE JUST FILLED UP THE TANK. DEALER REPLACED 02 SENSORS. 1 MO LATER EXPERIENCE SAME ISSUE. GAS GAUGE READS (E) EVEN WHEN TANK IS FULL. TAKEN BACK TO DEALER AND THIS TIME REPLACE (2) O2 SENSORS AND THE "SENDING UNIT". 2 DAYS LATER, WITH THE GAS GAUGE READING AT HALF FULL, THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD INTO ANOTHER GEAR ON FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC, AND STALLS. CANNOT TURN CAR ON - ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON. TOWED TO DEALER. NOW STATES THAT I NEED A WHOLE NEW GAS TANK BECAUSE THE "BAFFLE" IS BROKEN? STILL AT THE DEALER AND IS UNRESOLVED. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE. PREVIOUS ISSUES: CAR LEAKS AT THE SUNROOF. NOT FIXED YET LUMBAR SUPPORT BROKEN - SOMEWHAT FIXED BUT STILL NOT LIKE THE NEW ONES ON THE LOT. LUMBAR HANDLE FELL OFF - REPLACED BACKUP SENSORS FELL OFF OF BUMPER - REPLACED SEAT TRACKS JERK - REPLACED BOTH DRIVER AND PASS. STILL NOT SMOOTH BUT DEALER SAYS THAT'S THE BEST THEY CAN DO. *TR

THE VEHICLE NOW HAS WATER DAMAGE, MOLD AND RUST. *KB THE DEALER FOUND THE DRAIN HOSE OFF AT THE SUNROOF. THEY INSTALLED ZIP TIES TO THE END OF THE HOSES, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. *JB

INVOLVED IN FRONTAL COLLISION WITH CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE, BUT AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

MY FIRST 2007 AWD ACADIA BROKE DOWN AFTER OWNING IT FOR 20 MINUTES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE. SPENT MORE TIME IN THE GARAGE. WHEN I GOT IT BACK A WEEK LATER IT STARTED TO SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT BUT IT ONLY DID IT WHEN I WAS STOPPED AND MADE RIGHT TURNS ON MAIN ROADS. THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING BUT IT WOULD RESTART AGAIN. GOT A REPLACEMENT CAR HAD TO PAY 2,000 MORE FOR IT AND THE REPLACEMENT ACADIA IS DOING THE SAME THING. ITS A DEATH TRAP WE COULD GET KILLED PULLING ON A HIGHWAY AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF AND WHEN THEY HOOK IT UP TO DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE IT SAYS NOTHING SHOWS UP. IT HAS BEEN IN FOR THE SOFTWARE UPGRADES AND A WEEK LATER ITS SHUTTING OFF AGAIN AND HAS ALOT OF HESITATION. I HAVE HAD IT WITH GMC I JUST WANT MY MONEY BACK THEY LOST MY TRUST I SHOULD OF STAYED WITH MY JEEP LIBERTY WHICH WAS A GREAT VEHICLE WITH NO PROBLEMS. *TR

NOTICED A SUDDEN SHAKING IN THE CAR WHEN DRIVING MORE THAN 25MPH. FELT THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, SO LEFT IT AT A LOCAL TIRE AND AUTO SHOP FOR INSPECTION THE NEXT MORNING. THE TECHNICIAN CALLED TO INFORM US THAT THERE SHOULD BE 6 BOLTS THAT ATTACH THE DRIVESHAFT TO THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. THE CAR ONLY HAD 3 OF THE 6 BOLTS LEFT AND OF THOSE 1 WAS BENT. THEY WERE ALSO ALL LOOSE. HE SUSPECTED THAT THEY WERE NOT TIGHTENED CORRECTLY AT THE FACTORY. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 3/07 AND CURRENTLY HAS 12,000 MILES. *TR

I LEASED A 2007 ACADIA ON 5-24-07 AND SHORTLY AFTER TAKING DELIVERY I FELT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE WAY IT SHIFTED, I NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T GET THE PROBLEM TO REPEAT AND FELT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. ON 6-14-07 I TOOK A TRIP TO FLORIDA FROM MICHIGAN AND GOT 11 MILES INTO GEORGIA AND THE TRANSMISSION DECIDED TO SHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR GOING 70 MPH. I MANAGED TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND WAS WONDERING WHAT WENT WRONG. I PUSHED THE ONSTAR BUTTON AND THEY GOT ME TO A DEALERSHIP (NEWTON GMC IN TENNESSEE), THEY DONE A QUICK COMPUTER CHECK FOR ERROR CODES AND FOUND MANY CODES THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE BUT THEY SAID IT WAS RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION. I LEFT THE ACADIA WITH THEM AND FINISHED MY TRIP TO FLORIDA IN A FORD PICKUP. AFTER 2 WEEKS THE DEALERSHIP GOT THE OK FROM GM TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. I AM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE NEW TRANSMISSION SHIFTING CORRECTLY. AS OF 9-17-07 THERE IS A NEW SOFTWARE UPDATE THE DEALERSHIPS WILL HAVE TO CORRECT THE SHIFTING PROBLEMS FOR 2007 MODELS, THE 2008 MODELS ALREADY HAVE THE NEW SOFTWARE IN THEM WHEN THEY LEAVE THE ASSEMBLY PLANT. THIS PROBLEM MAY BE ON THE 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE SAME TRANSMISSION. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR DOES NOT ALWAYS SENSE WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER AND INDICATOR LIGHT SHOWS AIRBAG IS OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO DIAGNOSTIC CODE AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY TRANSMISSION WORKED ON ALREADY ON MY 2007 GMC ACADIA THE SPEED CONTROL IN THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT I STILL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CAR. IT IS AN ALL WHEEL DRIVE WITH AN AUTOMATIC. IT WILL NOT HOLD ON A HILL AND SEARCHES FOR A GEAR OR CHANCES SEVERAL TIMES WHEN IT COMES TO ANY KIND OF INCLINE EVEN AT 70 MPH.I WAS GETTING 15 MILES TO THE GALLON BEFORE THE NEW SPEED CONTROL NOW I GET 13. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MY DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND HE SAYS TO WAIT AND SOON THERE SHOULD BE A UPDATE IN THE SOFTWARE TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM I AM WILLING TO WAIT BUT WANT IT ON RECORD THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS PROBLEMS. THIS IS A NEW DESIGN AND IS VERY ROUGH RIDING. MY CAR HAS ONLY 5000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE BEEN THERE 4 TIMES.
