#2858 of 2998 Re: dots on NAV screen based on travel paths [lwolf99] by dmathews3 Oct 11, 2007 (3:23 pm)
Replying to: lwolf99 (Oct 08, 2007 6:00 pm) Have you tried ejecting the DVD and after a minute or so putting it back in to reboot the system. Those bread crumbs as they are being refered to in my opinion are not normal. I have a 07 STS with Nav and it doesn't have that feature so I doubt yours does either. I think something is wrong and may need to be taken to the dealer. Also check the DVD to make sure there aren't any scraches, fingerprints or anything else on it.
#2859 of 2998 Tranny problems fixed in '08? by tsu670 Oct 12, 2007 (9:39 am)
This is directed mainly to owners of new 2008 Lambdas.   Are you having transmission shift issues like owners of 2007 models had? In other words, are the problems fixed?   A Saturn salesman told me they were fixed, and that the required computer program change had been applied to all the '07s.

Replying to: tsu670 (Oct 12, 2007 9:39 am) I'd say it is fixed. There is a TSB that addresses 07 models and 08 builds before August that adjusts the shift patterns of the transmission. I am quite happy with our Enclave now. It is still fairly heavy for the V-6 engine, but that is the price we pay for good mileage.
#2861 of 2998 Overall Acadia experience by dketcham Oct 13, 2007 (7:12 pm)
We just completed a 1900+ mile trip from Minneapolis to Phoenix via Denver in our '07 Acadia. It had 2500 miles on it when we started the trip. What a great ride! Just before we left, the dealer completed a recall to reprogram the transmission. Shifting seemed smoother and less frequent, although it still downshifted frequently when going through the mountains. We were fully loaded and mileage averaged about 20 mpg; low of 16 mpg against a strong headwind in Colorado versus a high of 24 mpg coming down from the high country to the Phoenix area. Overall we were very satisfied with this trip. Very comfortable, extremely quiet, and all the room we needed. This is a great car compared to our '02 Trailblazer. No little "glitches" yet, so I have nothing to complain about.

Replying to: tsu670 (Oct 12, 2007 9:39 am) Funny you ask that. When I saw the issues with the transmission here in the forum, I called my dealer to ask if they could "flash" our transmission. He was quick to tell me that it wasn't for all Outlooks and we needed to provide him with a VIN #. Well...in the mail the other day, we received a notice from Saturn about taking our Outlook in to get the transmission "flashed" for the upgraded programming. Hopefully...we'll notice a difference.

Replying to: allmet33 (Oct 15, 2007 6:32 am) let us know if it helps. Over on the Camry forum they have been crying for all of 07 about theirs and how Toyota won't do anything about it. Would be nice to rub it in their noses. American Made Rules.

Replying to: lwolf99 (Oct 06, 2007 4:05 pm) it's part fo the GOP NAV system and they are called way points. The GPS/NAV system allows you to set these to use basically asd you described them as crumbs so that you can find your way back to your starting point. You should be able to turn this function off in the menu system of the NAV unit.

#2867 of 2998 Interesting transmission issue..... by nvbanker Jan 06, 2008 (9:12 pm)
I have an 06 Explorer which has the new 6 speed transmission in it, and we've had trouble with it. It's been reprogrammed several times, gets better each time, then eventually degrades into poor shifting, slamming & other irregularities. Was seriously considering an Acadia or Outlook to replace it - but it sounds like I would be getting into the same mess. I guess it's a 4-Runner for me after all.....
