Sounds like it isn't normal, so I will just take it in and have them check it out.

ipod problems by 2008sle

I had a problem with my ipod not playing through AUX. jack. Not being a big techie it took me a month to figure out that there was nothing wrong with the Acadia or the patch cord, my ipod was a piece of junk. Took it back to Target for new one and works great. Also found out while trying to solve problem that GM is coming out with a product called Personal Audio Link (PAL), it installs behind the dash somehow and you snap ipod in glovebox which allows you use radio controls and charge ipod. Retail price looks like $159.

Recently had the new fuel sensor installed and it seems to have corrected the fuel guage and remote start problems.

mpg and seats by jstatham

I bought a 2008 slt-1, I have had it maybe a month. The mpg isn't as good as they said it was suppose to be, hoping the more it is broke in the better it is. The seats are terrible, the headrests push your head forward. My husband hates the Acadia, the seats are very uncomfortable, he wouldn't take a long trip in it. We had a Suburban, and he wishes we had that back. He said if he could have test drove it a hundred miles he wouldn't have bought it. Just driving around town you dont get a real feel for it. I drive 150 to 200 miles a day in it, and when I get home my neck is killing me, and the seats are to hard. They should have put the Suburban seats in it. For me the handling of it is great. We haven't had any other problems with it so far. Great for driving in town, I have been driving a 3/4 4x4 crew cab diesel pickup. I like my truck, but wanted something smaller. My husband is thinking of trading it in on a BMW , Lexus, Toyota, he hates it that much.

I have a 2007 SLT FWD and the front tires lose traction easliy in wet or dry conditions going up hill or relatively quick flat starts at 3-4 rpms. Anyone have this problem?

Did you ever solve the leaking problem under the glove box? I also love my Acadia and haven't had the problems posted but I got the "glove box" leak today.

Sorry, I missed the page where you answered my question before I asked it.
I will have them check that sunroof drain.
Thanks

We did get our leaking problem fixed: it was an un-connected drain hose from the rear sunroof. Apparantly the water would come in thru the rear sunroof & then run down the channel along the roof line to the front end & end up coming in around the glove box. Our gove box did not get wet inside - the water only came in around the outside of the glove box near the door. The dealership/mechanic had to drop the whole headliner to re-connect the hose & we've not had any more leaking issues.
 
We also had a part replaced on the rear hatch on the support post on the driver's side. The dealership said they had a bulletin on this -- when the hatch was opened it would settle into place with a loud clunking noise & a jerk.
 
We also love our Acadia & haven't had the problems shown here. Hope this helps!!

kchef76, the problem you describe sounds like correct behavior for FWD. you can probably mitigate the tractionloss if you swap to a softer/performance tire, but those will wear faster and will reduce mpg.
by 3-4 rpms do you mean 3000 to 4000? um, are you brake-torquing it trying to do some sort of dragstrip launch? !

Elias, Right 3000-4000 rpms. No hot roding here. In fact, I was on a freewar on-ramp this morning, the road was a bit slick and I was doing about 45-50mph and then I punched it and the wheels spun big time. Still normal? I guess I never have had a car do that. Thanks for the response.
