2008 GMC ACADIA Complaints

STOPPED AT LIGHT, EMERGENCY STABILITRAK MESSAGE FLASHED, STABILITRAK LIGHT CAM ON, THEN THE DING, DING, DING THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, THEN ANOTHER MESSAGE: WARNING SERVICE BREAKS. A FEW SECONDS LATER THE BRAKE WARNING WENT AWAY, THE STABILITRAK LIGHT STAYED ON. I PULLED OVER, STOPPED AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, AND THE STABILITRAK LIGHT TURNED OFF. NO OTHER ISSUES IN FRIVING THIS DAY. THE NEXT MORNING SAME ISSUE, ABOUT 3 MILES OF DRIVING, STOPPED AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT, THEN THE DING, DING, DING...THEN THE STABILITRAK MESSAGE AND THEN THE : WARNING SERVICE BREAKS MESSAGE. *TR

RIGHT HEADLIGHT GASKET AROUND DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT OVERHEATED AND MELTED HEADLIGHT CASING CAUSING ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY TO NEED TO BE REPLACED. DID NOT DISCOVER UNTIL REALIZING DAYTIME LIGHT WAS NOT COMING ON. UNSURE OF HOW LONG THE ISSUE HAD BEEN GOING ON. *TR

RECEIVED 'SERVICE AIR BAG' WARNING FROM THE DASHBOARD DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER. PASSENGER AIR BAG INDICATOR ON CENTER CONSOLE INDICATES 'OFF' WHEN 160 LB PERSON IS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED HOWEVER THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS SCHEDULED TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TR

MY GMC ACADIA HAD THE TRANSMISSION FAIL AND IT WILL COST ME $4000 TO PUT A NEW ONE IN. I AM FINDING OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURANCE IN THE ACADIA AT FAIRLY LOW MILAGE.

WHILE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME ON, NOTING THAT THE AIRBAG IS NO LONGER ACTIVATED. A MESSAGE WILL ALSO COME UP ON THE DRIVER'S MESSAGING SCREEN STATING TO SERVICE AIRBAG. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN, I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW SOFTWARE MODULE FOR MY VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A CHANCE THAT IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A 5-6 YEAR OLD VEHICLE SHOULD ALREADY NEED ITS AIRBAG MODULE REPLACED.

WHILE DRIVING CAR BUCKED AND SHIFTED IRREGULARLY, TRANSMISSION SLIPPED, NO POWER, NO REVERSE. *TR

WIPERS ARE INOPERATIVE. LINKAGE CAME OFF WIPER MOTOR. BROUGHT TO PLACE OF PURCHASE AND THEY SAID THE PART MAY HAVE BEEN RECALLED. *TR

MY 2008 ACADIA TRANSMISSION FAILED AS I EXITED A HIGHWAY (70 MPH) AND WAS GOING UP THE EXIT RAMP. IT BEGAN BUCKING LIKE A HORSE. ONCE I PULLED OVER AND PARKED, I COULD NOT GO IN REVERSE. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AND A NEW TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE PUT IN IT AFTER ONLY 56K MILES. ALSO HAVE HAD THE SUNROOF / MOON ROOF TRAYS OVERFLOW BECAUSE THE DRAINAGE TUBES ARE NOT LARGE ENOUGH TO DRAIN ALL THE WATER FROM THE TRAYS. THE DEALERSHIP STATED IT WAS A POOR DESIGN AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO REPLACE IT. NOW WATER HAS ENTERED MY VEHICLE CAUSING THE ELECTRICAL BOX TO BECOME WET CAUSING THE HORN TO BLOW RANDOMLY AND THE CAR TO CONTINUE RUNNING AFTER TURNING IT OFF AND REMOVING THE KEY. *TR

DRIVING THE VEHICLE THAT HAD 7 PEOPLE. I TURNED ONTO A STREET IN TOWN AND THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. SO I TURNED TO HEAD TO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT. STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND AGAIN THE VEHICLE SHOOK FROM A TAKE OFF. DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT INTO THE DRIVEWAY BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSY INTERSECTION AND WE HAD TO PUSH IT INTO THE PARKING LOT. *TR
