Still problems with it. We will never by a gmc product ever again. They have the recorder put in the car again because it shut off while I was driving in a parking lot (without making turns) While driving on the highways it feels like the car slams in neutral and it feels like its stuck in that gear till finally it goes with a big blot back to give you whiplash and it feels like its going to shut off but my husband believes this special recording devices does something and prevents it from shutting off.
I will be having it taken out soon to see if it will shut off without this device in the car. My brake pedal is squeaking crazy everything in the cars seems to squeaking. I did get the vibration in the brake pedal as well and the pedal went straight to the floor a few times.
We are going for Toyoto or Hyundai for our next vehicles. I should of got the Toyoto Highlander its just that it looks so plain looking and the Acadia is a nice looking car. We are looking for a second vehicle a 2009 Toyoto Matrix at least this car will be good on gas. Constantly going to the gas station with the Acadia. Would like to trade this Acadia on the Toyoto Highlander but will have to suffer the loss of money.

Acadia Leaking and Electrical Problems

I want to start off by saying how much I love the Acadia and how it fits my family's needs. But I have had so many problems with mine. I think it may be a lemon. I had the following electrical issues: Rear power lift gate, heated passenger front seat, front passenger door lock, passenger front window. Also, the sky scape window sun shade broke. I was told by the dealer that some Acadia's made it off the assembly line without being properly sealed in some key areas. I would encourage all Acadia owners to run a hose on the roof of the vehical to check fo leaks. My leak was down behind the glovebox leaking directly onto a fuse box which probably caused all my electrical problems.

I have almost 5000 mile since november 2007. I didn't have any problems. I did update transmission. I'm getting about 17-18 mpg all city/traffic driving.

I had the same problem happen yesterday. We have had our acadia for 7 months and this is the first time this happened. All of sudden after a rain last night water started leaking from under the glove box. I was wondering what you did to fix yours? Our dealership says they havent heard of this problem.
Thanks,
Tracy

I would bet that it has been leaking for a while now, just not enough for you to notice. I had mine about nine months before we left it in the rain long enough to notice it. There is a fuse box that gets wet when this happens. I had a lot of electrical problems with the vehical since it was new. I just got my Acadia back from the dealer on Friday with the new fuse box installed so I am keeping my eye on it. When I went to the dealer on Friday, they were pulling in 1 Acadia and 2 Enclaves for leaks. Have your dealer call Andy Klein Pontiac, Buick, GMC in Overland Park Kansas. They are very familiar with the problem.
Good Luck

I was returning to the dealer to pick up my Acadia the other day after they "fixed" the leak, I had them replace the fusebox located behind the glove box where the leak was prominent. As I pulled into the service department, they (the dealer) was pulling in 1 acadia and 2 enclaves to fix leaks. These were off the lot. Not even purchased yet. GM knows whats going on here. They just don't want to fix a million leaks. This may have "major recall" or Class Action Lawsuit".

We experienced the same problem on 5 different occasions. Each time the dealer said it was fixed but it still kept leaking. Eventually we got them to order us a new car because ours was only 7 months old with 5,000 miles. Well within the guidlines of NY Lemon Law. I hope they fix yours right the first time and you don't have to go through what we did. By the way they said they never experienced the leaking problem before. I don't believe them.

you are not alone. i just bought the 08 acadia. on the first sunny day, i experienced horrible glare from chrome trim. my husband did not have the problem as he is taller than me and the glare hit him lower (i'm 5'3"). check with our salesperson at the dealership (he's a relative) and he told us there is a GMC bulletin to fix this problem. there is both a temporary fix (some type of tape or adhesive cover) followed by replacement parts as soon as they can get them in.
i don't have any advice about the sunroof. i don't have one.

Acadia Leaking and Electrical problems

I just picked my Acadia up from the 3rd time for being in the shop for leaks and electrical issues (all related to the passenger front side, including all electrical functions of the door. Nothing worked). They replaced the fuse box assuring me that that would take care of the problem. IT DIDN'T!!! I took it back today and I got the Acadia to reproduce the problem in front of the service manager so they finally knew I wasn't crazy. They say they have it fixed. I will let you all know.
