2008 GMC ACADIA Complaints

VEHICLE WAS SOUTHBOUND ON COUNTY ROAD AND ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AT THE INTERSECTION, WHEN THE CAR STRUCK THE SOUTH EMBANKMENT OF THE T INTERSECTION, AS DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO NAVIGATE THE TURN. NONE OF THE SIDE OR FRONT AIRBAGS IN THE CAR DEPLOYED AS A RESULT OF THE CRASH. I AM ALSO UNSURE IF THE SEAT BELT HAD OPERATED CORRECTLY (SEAT BELT WAS BEING WORN AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH). THE DRIVER'S HEAD HIT THE SIDE WINDOW AND AS A RESULT HE SUSTAINED A HEAD INJURY AND AN EYE INJURY RESULTING IN OPTIC NERVE DAMAGE AND COMPLETE LOSS OF VISION IN THE EYE. I UNDERSTAND THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAGS ON THESE VEHICLES WITH A POSSIBLE RECALL ISSUED. I DO HAVE ALL THE CORRESPONDING ACCIDENT REPORTS, MEDICAL REPORTS, ETC.

SERVICE AIR BAGS LIGHT CAME ON. OCCASIONALLY SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND TRACTION CONTROL TURNS OFF AND BACK ON WHILE DRIVING WHEN TRACTION CONTROL RETURNS WARNING LIGHT DISAPPEARS. SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND HAS NOT CAME OFF. ALL OF THE ABOVE HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY GOING NO FASTER THAN 55MPH DRY CONDITIONS. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT WHILE OWNED BY CURRENT OWNER.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE STABILITRAK TURNED ITSELF OFF AND A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SAYING IT WAS OFF AND TO SERVICE IT. I TRIED TO PUSH THE BUTTON AND IT DID NOTHING AND THEN IT CLEARED ITSELF AND TURNED BACK ON WITHOUT ANY PROMPT AND WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES AND THE WHOLE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR SHAKES.

I'VE HAD MY GMC ACADIA FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS NOW. I INITIALLY (WITHIN 30 DAYS OF PURCHASE) HAD ISSUES WITH THE WINDOW MOTOR BECAUSE MY WINDOWS WEREN'T GOING UP WHEN PRESSING THE BUTTONS ON EITHER SIDE UP FRONT. CARMAX FIXED THE ISSUE. WELL, I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM TODAY EXCEPT THE PASSENGER SIDE BUTTON WORKS OCCASIONALLY TO ROLL UP THE FRONT WINDOW. THE DRIVER SIDE BUTTON WORKS FINE FOR THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND BOTH OF THE REAR WINDOWS. IT DOESN'T WORK TO ROLL UP THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER MY VEHICLE IS PARKED OR IN MOTION.

BOUGHT FIRESTONE ALL SEASON TIRES DOT V60M AL1 . TIRES WORN DOWN VERY VERY QUICKLY ALL THE WAY ACROSS IN LESS THAN 5K MILES. VEHICLE ALIGNMENT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN DONE A FEW MONTHS PRIOR. DEALER TRIED TO CLAIM IT WAS ALIGNMENT , ALIGNMENT SHOP SAID IT WAS A TIRE ISSUE. I BELIEVE THE TIRES RUBBER HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPOUND FORMULA. FIRESTONE REFUSES TO COVER THE TIRES. SAID THAT EXTREMELY FAST TREADWEAR ISN'T COVERED. IMAGINE THAT! PAID $657.00 FOR A SET OF TIRES THAT WITHIN 5 MONTHS NEED REPLACING . HAD MY WIFE GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT AND BEEN INJURED OR KILLED. I WOULD OF MADE ANOTHER EXAMPLE OUT OF FIRESTONE LIKE WHAT WAS DONE IN THE 90S WHEN FORD EXPLORERS WERE TURNING INTO CRASH DERBY CARS DUE TO DEFECTIVE TIRES MADE BY THIS COMPANY FOR ODDLY A COMPARITIVELY SIZED VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY START WHEN TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH TO THE ON POSITION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY CONTINUED TO LOSE POWER AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND WATER LEAKED INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER AND HIGHLY BUICK GMC (3535 WEST LOOP 820 SOUTH, FORT WORTH, TX) WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

TRANSMISSION FAILED, TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR, TRANSMISSION STUCK IN FIRST GEAR, GM APPROVED A 2013 SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED IN 2017, THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPAIRED AND THE ENTIRE ENGINE HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING AGAIN BECAUSE IT IS A PRODUCT DEFECT THAT IS DANGEROUS. GM HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE AND THE AUTONATION HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE. GM AND AUTONATION HAVE SOLD A DANGEROUS USED CAR WITH A FRAUDULENT INTENT. GM AND AUTONATION HAVE RATIFIED THE INTENTIONAL FRAUD. THE CAR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE IT IS STILL DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND THE TRANSMISSION IS CURRENTLY FAILING AGAIN.
