My original post was #91. My Acadia was in the shop for 2 weeks. A new transmission was ordered off the line. The mechanics have no idea what was wrong with the original transmission. Apparently, it was supposed to make its way to some lab in CA. Now there is a popping noise in the driver's side front wheel well when I make a left turn. The tap to signal three times isn't working. I talked to the dealer and to GM about taking this piece of crap back in light that the transmission didn't even make it to 1000 miles. I was even willing to accept a new Acadia. Both kept blaming the problems on the other. I got no where and got my POS back. I HATE THIS CAR! I just keep hoping it will break down again with a transmission issue and be in the shop another couple of weeks so I can lemon law it. When and if I go to trade it in, I am sure it will show it had a new transmission. I am so disappointed with how GM handled this situation. My Acadia is a big fat  . The joy of owning a new car is ruined for me. I plan to buy foreign the next time.

Replying to: rocket_08 (Dec 16, 2007 9:06 pm) At that time, the power went out on my Acadia as I described in my earlier post, and the dealership found that the problem was a "loose positive cable into the fuse block". They repaired this and this problem has not happened again... happily.... (knock wood, of course).. The other problem I had was an annoying vibration in the gas pedal at certain speeds. This problem has actually diminished quite a bit. (Either that, or I just don't notice it any more.) The salesman explained it this way: he said that, when the car is brand new, all the parts are very tight. As you drive it, they loosen up and create "wear patterns". That is, the parts get some play in them and so they don't pick up vibration as much. I then recalled what he had told me when I first got the car: He had said that "you shouldn't judge your car for the first 5000 miles you put on it (unless it's a Jaguar, in which case you shouldn't judge it for the first 20,000 miles..)" Now that the Acadia performance is improving, I feel somewhat better about it. I still feel cautious driving it, but recently, it has been a more enjoyable ride...

In January I leased a brand new acadia. I drove it a few days and noticed a strong gas odor coming in through the heating vents. I had the car in 4 times but either they can not recreate the smell or find anything wrong with the car. GM has not been any help. Now at 2000 miles the car is making me sick!!! Any suggestions?
