#170 of 501 Re: FWD Traction [kchef76] by sidewinder101 Feb 04, 2008 (9:53 pm)
Replying to: kchef76 (Feb 04, 2008 8:57 am) My FWD Acadia w/ the 18 inchers has had no traction problems, no matter what the situation. Might want to try punching/merging it in the same or a similar location under safer conditions (i.e. not so slick). If you still experience traction loss in the manner described, it might be time to get the traction control system checked.

Replying to: rocket_08 (Dec 20, 2007 8:32 pm) This sounds like a ground problem. If the dash is not grunded good, many weird things can happen. Years and years ago had a grounding problem that when I put the turn signals on, the dash lights would flash. Plus many other weird electrical things. The mechanic added an extra grund for the dash and never seen the problem again.

Replying to: sybillcar (Feb 04, 2008 11:30 am) Sounds like you might need alternator. I would go back the dealer and force them with law suit to replace the alternator. Replies to this message: skupie (Jan 14, 2009 11:52 am)

Replying to: hsche (Aug 17, 2007 7:18 am) The gauge on our 2008 Acadia has stuck on 35 deg on three seperate occasions even though the outside temperature was in the mid 60's. Today when this occurred the driver display warned of icy conditions and it was 67 degrees outside. 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.

Replying to: lay1 (Feb 15, 2008 3:18 pm) Yes, my 2008 Acadia does the same thing: it can be 55 degrees when I leave work in the evening, and the temperature gauge continues to read 75.     After I drive for 5-10 minutes, the temp starts to creep down but one can never be sure what the actual temperature outside is....   Or it will read 85 when it is really cold ! I know that it is in the 40's and the car mocks me by reading 85 on the dash... I wish it worked better... it's a nice feature to have in an automobile..

Replying to: lay1 (Feb 15, 2008 3:18 pm) Thanks for your response...we have never had that problem, as far as I can tell the temp control works fine. Good luck figuring out what's wrong. We too love our Acadia we just wished that there were'nt so many problems with them.

Replying to: dawnk (Dec 18, 2007 12:29 pm) Dear Friend:   I thought I was set to buy a 2008 Acadia SLT2 loaded with:   - AWD - Loaded Options (or as close as we can get): Dual Sunroof, HID headlamps, Head-Up display, touch screen navigation w/ rear camera, entertainment system, Trailer Package   I think I'm hearing you say loud and clear, "DON'T DO IT." GM products are still JUNK. What has happened with your situation? - even for 2008 you believe all the tech issues are still not fixed? - what vehicle is your target auto now?   Thanx, Ce Replies to this message: dawnk (Mar 31, 2008 12:48 pm) tuffsubject (May 11, 2008 10:12 am)

Replying to: jju (Jan 01, 2008 10:23 am) Are you saying that 2009 might be the year? Have you identified any other strong hopefuls for the current 2008 yr? What do you think about the Buick Enclave?   Ce
#178 of 501 bought a day ago but have concerns, please advise by ch3r0k33 Feb 20, 2008 (4:14 pm)
bought the acadia slt1 2008 with 500 miles on it. hood sensor was acting up as we drove off the lot. At home, the remote start did not work, alarm went off in driveway, theft attempted showed on the display in the morning.   Took it back and dealer assured us that the sensor needed reset and gave us a buick for the night. Next day, turns out it was a hood latch problem and dealer implied that explains all of the problems. One more night in somebody elses car.   I've seen some real problem cars noted in this forum. I assume that most happy people don't post but am concerned I am getting a troublesome car.   Any advice would be appreciated, and the more the better. THANKS!

Replying to: ch3r0k33 (Feb 20, 2008 4:14 pm) My SLT 1 has been flawless except for the pigtail missing on the XM antenna. Currently have 2,000+ miles at 4 months old. Still loving it. Replies to this message: safety9285 (Mar 22, 2008 7:31 am)
