2007 GMC ACADIA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED NUMEROUS TIMES. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY WHEN SHIFTING AND VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. WITHIN A WEEK OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (SHORELINE AUTO GROUP INC, 2275 N STATE RD, IONIA, MI 48846, (616) 523-6882). THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR OVER A MONTH DUE TO NO SOUND FOR THE TURN SIGNALS, VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, AND THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO PICK UP SPEED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE FOR OVER A MONTH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES MONTHS LATER TO DETERMINE IF THEY MAY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED MID WINDSHIELD AFTER I HAD TAKEN INTO THE SHOP THAT DAY I CALLED TO LET THEM KNOW IF THEY PERHAPS UNHOOKED SOMTHING, EXCEPT THEY WORKED FOR A FEW MILES. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY SAID I NEEDED TO BY A NEW MOTOR. MY HUSBAND SAID IT WAS UNHOOKED, BUT THE WIPERS STICK UP ABOUT 1/3 OF THE WAY ON THE WINDSHIELD

WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH THREE WARNINGS CAME ON "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" "SERVICE STABILITRAK" AND "TRACTION CONTROL OFF" THEN, THE SPEED BEGAN TO DECLINE AND I COULD NOT GO MORE THAN 35 MPH. GOT THE CAR TO A SAFE PLACE TO STOP AND WHEN I PUT IN PARK A SPUTTERING IN THE ENGINE COULD BE FELT. I TURNED OFF AND WHEN I STARTED IT TO BRING IT IN FOR SERVICE IT RAN FINE BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. A VERY SIMILAR INCIDENT OCCURRED JUST OVER A YEAR AGO. REPAIR WAS TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. ALSO MENTION OF THE TPS SENSOR ON THE THROTTLE. I HAVE NOT HAD THE CURRENT ISSUE FIXED YET.

I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION WHEN MY VEHICLE HAD AROUND 61,000 MILES. VEHICLE WAS NOT GOING OVER 25 MPH AND SOMETIME IT DID NOT RUN AT ALL. I TOOK IT SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALER, ACTUALLY A TOWN TRUCK HAD TO TAKE IT BECAUSE IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IT. IT TOOK A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT FOR ME TO FINALLY GET MY GMC ACADIA FIXED. THAT WAS IN 2015. TWO YEARS LATER I HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION AGAIN, MY GMC HAS NOW 104,000 MILES. I WENT BACK TO THE GMC DEALER WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED BEFORE, BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT GUARANTEE HAD ENDED 2 MONTHS AGO AND I HAD TO PAY $1,021 TO GET THE TRANSMISSION FIXED. I'M ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HOOD LIFT AND THE HEADLIGHT SWITH IS NOT WORKING

GMC TRANSMISSIONS ARE CRAP, GOING ON THE THIRD ONE. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON FOR WHAT THE RECALL IS FOR BUT GMC IS DENYING THE RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG (WHERE THE SEAT BELT WAS LOCATED) WAS BEGINNING TO SPLIT OPEN. ALSO, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CARWAY USED AUTO CENTER (50 PERRY ST, LOWELL, MA 01852, PHONE NUMBER: (978) 748-4113) AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A GMC DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO GMC DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,000.

2016 BOTH FRONT AND BACK AC HAD TO BE REPLACED, CURRENTLY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING, REAR LIFT GATE, AFTER RECALL FIX, STILL WON'T SHUT -TAKES UP TO 3-4 TIMES TO CLOSE LIFT GATE WHEN NOTHING IS IN THE WAY, DVD/CD PLAYER STOPPED WORKING IN 2015

THE ACADIA HAD A RECALL ON THE SUNROOF FOR LEAKING LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. MY ACADIA HAD THIS PROBLEM AND WATER LEAKED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE DOWN THE FRAME ADJACENT TO THE DOOR AND WINDOW THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH INTO THE FLOOR AREA. THERE IS A FUSE BOX LOCATED IN THIS AREA AS WELL AS A VERY LARGE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR THAT CONNECTS TWO PORTIONS OF THE WIRING HARNESS. THE EXPOSURE OF THIS COMPONENT TO WATER HAS RESULTED IN CORROSION OCCURRING WITH THIS CONNECTOR. THIS IS A MAJOR CONNECTOR AFFECTING MULTIPLE SYSTEMS OF THE VEHICLE. THE SYSTEM GIVING ME THE LARGEST CAUSE FOR CONCERN IS THE DOOR LOCKS. ON A DAILY BASIS THE LOCKS WON'T RESPOND TO THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON ON ANY OF THE DOORS NOT WILL I RESPOND TO THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY REMOTE. THIS POSES A SIGNIFICANT EGRESS DANGER AS THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK ANY OF THE DOORS IS TO MANUALLY PUT UP THE LOCK. THIS IS FOR EVERY DOOR, ALL FOUR OF THEM. I HAVE AN INFANT IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE VEHICLE AND IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION IT WOULD REQUIRE ME TO LITERALLY CRAWL FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT TO THE REAR SEAT, MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR AND THEN ATTEMPT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THIS ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR AS THE FAULT DUE TO CORROSION FROM WATER HAS BEEN OCCURRING NOT JUST TO ME, IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING TO MANY OWNERS THAT SUFFERED FROM LEAKING ROOFS ON THEIR BRAND NEW VEHICLES. I FEEL THAT GMC NEEDS TO STEP UP AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE SAFETY HAZARD THEY CREATED AND SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. BY THE NHTSA IF THEY WILL NOT DO IT THEMSELVES.
