2007 GMC ACADIA Complaints

WHILE COMPLETING A RIGHT TURN FROM A COMPLETE STOP I RODE UP ON A CURB AND ALL CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THERE IS NO PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO CAR EXTERIOR,TIRES, RIMS AND UNDERCARRIAGE. DAMAGE ASSESSMENT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY TWO GMC DEALERSHIPS AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I HAVE ASKED GMC TO PROVIDE INFORMATION REFERENCING WHETHER OR NOT THE SENSORS AND COMPUTER PERFORMED PER DESIGN. THE ONLY ANSWER I HAVE RECEIVED IS THAT THE YAW SENSOR IS WHAT TRIGGERED THE DEPLOYMENT, THAT ALL BAGS WHERE DEPLOYED AND THIS IS NOT A MANUFACTURER DEFECT BUT AN INSURANCE CLAIM. TO MY KNOWLEDGE NO ANALYSIS HAS BEEN DONE TO DETERMINE SPEED, ANGLE ETC... MY WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN WHERE IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS OCCURRED. WE ARE SO CONFIDENT THAT THE VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONED THAT UNLESS WE ARE REASSURED THAT GM HAS RESOLVED THE ISSUE WE WILL NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANY LONGER. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH THE VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE. THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD BANG NOTICED PARTS FLY PAST THE WINDOW. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT ALL SIX PROPELLER SHAFT BOLTS BECAME LOOSE AND THE DRIVE SHAFT FELL OFF. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 5,400.

THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE 8 WAY SEAT MOVES FORWARD AND BACK UNDER HARD BRAKING AND ACCELERATION. THE MOVEMENT IS MORE THAN AN HALF INCH. THE DEALER SAID THE MANUFACTURE KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN THIS CAR WITH SEAT THE MOVING AROUND. *JB

ON JULY 5TH 2007 MY FAMILY AND I WERE TRAVELING IN OUR RECENTLY PURCHASED 2007 GMC ACADIA WHILE ON VACATION IN FENWICK, DE. AND AS WE WERE TRAVELING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION OUR VEHICLE EXPERIENCE A MASSIVE FAILURE. THE FRONT PORTION OF THE DRIVE SHAFT, THE PORTION THAT EXTENDS FROM THE TRANSAXLE TO THE REAR AXLE, DROP FROM THE VEHICLE, AT SPEED, AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOOSE POWER WHILE AT SPEED IN TRAFFIC. REALIZING THE LOSS OF POWER, WE PULLED THE VEHICLE SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. UPON LOOKING UNDER THE VEHICLE, I OBSERVED THE DRIVE SHAFT HANGING, IN THE FORWARD POSITION, TO THE ROADWAY. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED "ON-STAR" WHO I FOUND TO BE EXTREMELY NON-RESPONSIVE OR HELPFUL TO OUR SITUATION. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE TOW TRUCK FINALLY RESPONDED TO OUR CALL AND UPON OUR DIRECTION TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HERTRICK GMC FOR REPAIR. LATER THAT WEEK I WS INFORMED THAT THE "SAFETY RING" HAD FAILED AND THE REPLACEMENT PRT WAS ON INDEFINITE BACK ORDER. *TR
