2009 GMC ACADIA Complaints

CAM ACTUATOR WENT BAD MAKES THE CAR SOUND LIKE A TRACTOR STARTS UP VERY LOUD AND MOTOR SOUNDS HORRIBLE ENGINE MAKES EXHAUST PIPES VERY LOUD. VERY LOUD ENGINE PERIOD.

MY 2009 GMC ACADIA WAS SITTING IN MY MOTHERS DRIVEWAY, WHEN A NEIGHBORHOOD CAME AND SAID MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. IT WAS NOT RUNNING AND NO SIGNS OF ARSON. THE VEHICLE INSIDE ALMOST COMPLETELY BURNT, WITH MOST OF THE DAMAGE BEING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, STEERING WELL, DOOR, AND DASHBOARD. THE SUV LITERALLY JUST CAUGHT FIRE IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE CLEVELAND FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND HAD TO PUT THE FLAMES OUT. AFTER RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THERE WAS AN RECALL IN 2010 FROM GMC NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V240000. HEATED WINDSHIELD MODULE SHORT CIRCUIT. THIS RECALL WAS FOR 2007-2009 GMC'S

THE CASINGS TO THE SEATBELTS IN THE 2ND ROW HAVE COME OFF ALONG WITH A LOT OF OTHER PLASTIC CASING SUCH AS THE FLOOR VENT IN THE BACK, THE FRONT SEAT RECLINING KNOB AND OTHERS. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RELATED TO THE SPEAKER WIRES AND THE POWER DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOWS ARE DYSFUNCTIONAL. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON NOT SURE IF IT IS FROM THE RECALL

TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL GMC DEALER FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AT 159,879 MILES. DEALER SAYS TIMING CHAIN IS MAKING NOISE AND GOING BAD. ESTIMATED REPAIR COST, $3,600. NOISE IS HEARD WHEN ENGINE IS STARTED AND SUBSIDES A LITTLE WHEN DRIVING.
