#145 of 495 Re: 2007 Acadia leaking water inside... [paulrannis] by safety9285 Jan 07, 2008 (10:53 am)
Replying to: paulrannis (Jan 07, 2008 9:16 am) I had 2 small water leaks, in the same spot on opposite sides. Driver and passenger side right about at the arm rest. The dealer adjusted the doors and that took car of it.

Replying to: paulrannis (Jan 07, 2008 9:16 am) Our 2007 Acadia, which we ordered from our local dealership, was leaking water on the passenger side where the front seat belt comes thru the door & also on the lower part of the front passenger door directly to the side of the glove box. The glove box stayed dry inside, but the carpet did get soaked. The dealership took the Acadia to a body shop & they diagnosed the problem, but did not want to fix it since it involved dropping the headliner. A drain hose from the real sunroof was not connected. The dealership dropped the headliner & connected the hose & we've not had any more leaks!! Hopefully this will stay fixed?!?! Hope this helps!
#148 of 495 Acadia transmission improve by vad1819 Jan 09, 2008 (9:20 am)
I have reading another forum, so found good point how to improve the trans shifting from one member. So he stated: "When in L, use the +/- button to change gear number in DIC to 5. This ends up causing all the hesitation and shifting issues. When I limit the Acadia to 5th gear, it drives fantastic. If I go onto the highway I kick the gear limit up to "6" for the fuel economy." "Depending on your top speed, you can also put the 'L' setting to 4th gear and just have a 4 speed automatic or to 3rd gear and have a 3 speed auto. (Like you do with setting it to '5' and having a 5 speed automatic). The only negative to using 'L' is that the smart downshifting is disabled. So if you are coming down a long steep grade you would need to manually shift down if using an 'L' setting. When in 'D', the computer detects that you are riding the brakes and will automatically shift the transmission down to help hold the car back."   So, I think its pretty cool future.
#149 of 495 Re: Passenger Side Airbag [dave153] by shabradil Jan 09, 2008 (2:18 pm)
Replying to: dave153 (Dec 18, 2007 11:52 am) I just took delivery of 2008 Acadia. I am having the same problem with the Passenger side air bag. I took it back to the dealer (North Brunswick, NJ) . They are insisting that there is no problem with the sensors but it depends on how people sit on. I am very dissapointed, I don't know what is the next step is. My wife don't want to take this vehicle out if someone has to sit in the front passenger seat.   Is there is any solution for this problem with the air bag?
#151 of 495 Problem in the radio by tsrour Jan 13, 2008 (3:21 pm)
I just received my SLT1-2008. when setting the radio onto a station, it plays for a minute and then stops playing and start an automatic search that does not stop at any station and continues for couple of minutes before it stops on the station which i chose at the begginning plays it for a minute and then go to the non-stop search for another couple of minutes and go on again and again. Thus, i am not able to listen to any station for more than a minute??? I am not sure if i did something wrong while learning the features of the radio, but would appreciate any help if anyone had this same problem.

Replying to: tsrour (Jan 13, 2008 3:21 pm) Sounds like a bad antenna connection (just needs to be re-seated in the back of the radio) or the radio receiver may be bad. Have you taken it back to the dealer? Replies to this message: tsrour (Jan 14, 2008 1:38 pm)

Replying to: tuffsubject (Jan 13, 2008 4:40 pm) I guess you got it right as the dealer said the same and as mentioned it is a small problem. Thanks for the advice.
#154 of 495 Wheel click by jdsci Jan 15, 2008 (5:17 pm)
I have a 2008 Acadia SLT-2 which from day 1 has had a clicking sound coming from the wheels (same volume and sound of rocks stuck in the tire grooves but upon careful inspection, there are none).   Anyone else have this? I'll be taking it back to the dealer for troubleshooting, but I want to know if this is just common to the car or not.   Thanks, -J Replies to this message: manufan1 (Jan 16, 2008 3:14 pm) jdsci (Jan 17, 2008 10:15 am)
