Replying to: dawnk (Dec 18, 2007 12:10 pm) Dear All, Thank you SO much for your posts! I was considering a 2008 Acadia until I read these. I am also considering a Honda Ridgeline....Any thoughts? Thanks! Replies to this message: chuckhoy (Dec 20, 2007 1:38 pm)

Replying to: rlhinct (Dec 20, 2007 12:44 pm) When you look in forums with "Problems and Repairs" in the title you are going to encounter a large percentage of posts from people with... well... ummmm... problems and repairs. I'm sure that if you look in forums for any make and model of vehicle that have "Problems and Repairs" in the title you will encounter the same.   I have had my Outlook for a few monts now and have encountered none of the problems being posted in here. My only compliant is that it does not get the mpg I expected or hoped for ont he highway. I was hoping for about 25 or so and I get 22 or so. Not a big beef.
#114 of 492 Scary problem in 2008 Acadia by rocket_08 Dec 20, 2007 (8:32 pm)
Well, I took the car back to the dealership... they said the reason the car lost all power was because " the positive cable was not connected well to the fuse block" (it was loose). They were able to duplicate the problem (i.e. suddenly losing power and the dashboard going dark).   They tightened the cable and checked all other electrical connections; they said they think it's fixed and that I should not have that problem again...   Are they right ? Who knows ? I hope so... Someone else on this forum said that their Acadia shuts down unexpectedly like mine did and they could have been hit from behind.... I worry about that, too... it is not a safe situation... ...But have your mechanics check the cables to the fuse block... (at first, my mechanic didn't think it was that, because the clock stayed on and was correct... but later he figured it out...)   I still have that annoying problem of the gas pedal vibrating under my foot almost constantly... (does anybody else on this forum experience this ?) The dealership said this can't be fixed or adjusted, it is just a characteristic of the car... however, I don't believe this as another Acadia that I test-drove did not have this problem... its gas pedal was tighter and more confortable and it did not vibrate all the time...   Thanks for your replies... they were helpful....      Replies to this message: safety9285 (Dec 26, 2007 11:14 am) sidewinder101 (Jan 01, 2008 11:58 pm) leecroatt (Feb 05, 2008 10:06 am)

#119 of 492 2007 Acadia back hatch by angiemc Dec 27, 2007 (11:55 am)
When I opened the back hatch in my 2007 Acadia to put some Christmas presents in, it extended all the way up, I leaned in with bags in hand and right as I was under it, it fell about 1 1/2 - 2 feet down banging me on the head. Then it must have reset itself because it started to close on me! Hoping the wind had caught it, it was very windy that day, I tried it again with the remote (this time standing a safe distance away) and it did it again and has done so ever since. I plan on taking it in after the beginning of the year to have it repaired. Has anyone else ever had this problem?

Replying to: dick4422 (Oct 15, 2007 6:07 am) Did you get the update? How is your gas mileage now? My hwy has decreased to about 17mpg. Just wondering what you are getting. I have a 2007 Acadia FWD SLT2. I am not getting 22/mpg as before the update. I haven't called the dealer back yet and have put a 1000 miles on since the update.

Replying to: angiemc (Dec 27, 2007 11:55 am) My 2007 Acadia's back hatch just started making a loud "clunking" sound & jerking into place when it gets completely opened. It appears to be the gears on the support post (driver's side). The mechanic had lubed it & it was okay for a couple of days, but then it has started making that noise again. Will be calling the dealership again today!!
