First off let me say this in NOT a cold start problem. We have had our Acadia almost a year now and 2 weeks after purchase it started this problem. We could go out in the morning or after driving 400 miles, try to start it and it is dead, clicking sound or nothing at all, it has done it all. It has also died to the point that the remote entry wouldn't work, radio clock reset the whole nine yards. each time I need a jump after the jump it runs fine, no excessive driving required or battery charge needed. Could shut the car right off after the jump and it then it restarts just fine. I have had it in to the dealership and called onstar each time, and there is no recorded problem all sys. check come back normal. I even had the GM rep look at it...no help there. Battery has been replaced and it STILL does it. There is no memory codes in the computer...and no one is able to duplicate the problem so each time I bring it in to the dealer it is "fine". now I have it back and I am forced to drive it till dies again and then have it towed into the dealership. Hopefully it is convienant to me and my busy schedule and with small children I am nervous. I am currently in touch with BBB and the lemon law since i have had it in about 4 times for this same problem and no one seems to know what is wrong. I have never had the right turn stalling problem but I do get error messages about the traction control and stabilitrak needing service but then the computer never records these error messages either and the dealer can't fix what they don't know is wrong. also the nav. screen will go blank and the radio will shut off every once in a while when I start it and I need to shut off the car and restart it then it will turn back on...weird. My only answer to all this is that my acadia has multiple personality disorder...does anyone else have a "sybill" car???

Replying to: sybillcar (Feb 04, 2008 11:30 am) -51C windchill. Tow truck finally arrived 2 days later (I had tried starting once daily with no success, even though lights were bright, etc.) and I decided to try a start as it arrived (weather had warmed up to -20C). It started! I now believe the "battery saver" activates at some low temp level and prevents starting to save the battery. Since the battery is located under the floor in the back seat area, an electric battery blanket can't be used to keep the battery warm. I may have to try an interior car warmer solution, or build a garage! In addition, after the no start up problem, my Feb On Star report indicated my "oil life reading" had mysteriously improved from 40% oil life left to 100% left. I have decided to get an oil change this week and have it reset so I can trust it. |

Replying to: hsche (Aug 17, 2007 7:18 am) We had it in to the dealer 3 days ago and they supposedly re-calibrated the sensor but when pressed about it today on the phone the service advisor said that it registered normal when they went to address the problem and thought it was fixed. It does seem to correct itself but only after driving for longer than 15 minutes at a time. We also have had the stabilitrac warning addressed by others in this forum and called onstar in each case. The 3rd time onstar gave us information (they said they couldn't give us a code) to give the dealer so that they could call onstar and ask for specific information related to the problem. The dealer called and all they could do was start a case number and told us to bring it in immediately if it happens again. Otherwise, my wife I I are very satisfied with the performance of the Acadia although I'll have to agree that the gas mileage claim is exagerated.
