#31 of 501 Re: Issues so far? [jseck2] by acadia07 Jul 12, 2007 (5:00 pm)
Replying to: jseck2 (Apr 25, 2007 6:20 am) Hi, Well, I bought my acadia in April of 07 and did not have any major issues until this week. On Monday, I hit a dog ( I did not kill it) and about 1 hr. after doing so, my car would not start. An error messages saying: Engine power reduced, service stabilitrak, and something with the traction control. I got it started but it wouldn't allow me go over 15 mph. I finally got it to the dealership which took me 1 hr to go 20 miles. It is now Thursday, and they said they ordered a throttle and gasket. I read on the other forums that this is a BIG issue with the Yukons. I'll post when I get it back to let you know if it's fixed or not!

Replying to: jseck2 (Apr 25, 2007 6:20 am) I bought my wife an Acadia SLT-1 at the end of May. It's beautiful and drives well, BUT has already been in the shop 3 times for CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.   The first time, they changed a hose, and we had it back the next day. The CHECK ENGINE LIGHT was back on in less than 48 hours.   The second time, they kept it a week, and said it was the ECU that controls monitoring systems. This 'cure' lasted about a week.   Then the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT returned with an additional very bad symptom - the car wouldn't move, but the engine would rev while in Drive. My wife was on a busy street but turned the vehicle off, and then restarted it. It then would engage in gear again. The Check Engine Light was still on, so she drove it straight to the dealer AGAIN. The dealer now says the tranny is shot (2-3-4 gears specifically) after 1100 miles on flat ground with no towing.   We're both very angry, unhappy, and disappointed. This may end up being a lemon law claim before it's over. It'll be in the shop at least a week while they await parts (or a whole new tranny) from GMC.     & & Replies to this message: auntdr (Aug 12, 2007 6:14 am) dawnk (Dec 18, 2007 12:22 pm)

I bought a SLE-1 AWD on April 20, 2007. Two days later the speedometer stopped working. After a 2 month wait, dealer received the replacement module but couldn't program it. The 2nd module arrived a month later...also wouldn't work. GMC engineers contacted by dealer and a 3rd module sent (different model)and it is working. Love the space and design, miss the compass, get a lot of complements about the vehicle, highway mileage (10.1L/100km)is better than my 2001 Blazer.
#36 of 501 Power Switch on Hatchback by powergirl88 Jul 27, 2007 (10:16 am)
I ordered my Acadia in Feb and recived it 8 weeks later due to ordering "White Diamond Tri-Coat" extra$ of course. Only 1700 miles on it sitting in traffic waiting to turn right the guy "not paying attention" runs right into my tailgate. 5 more weeks in the shop, and now the hatch opens on it's own. It's happened numerious times w/ and without the doors locked and the front panel switch on and off. I have now named the car "ghost rider". The car is in the shop once again for this reason and for the 4th time I'm in a rental car. Has anyone had this problem because the service department is telling me that there will be a recall soon to fix this issue. Replies to this message: acadiana2007 (Aug 11, 2007 2:20 pm)

Replying to: jimbo31 (May 07, 2007 8:53 pm) I am also getting poor mileage. I have gotten under 14 mpg doing only local driving although my first tank I got over 16. Love the car just wish it was better on gas.
#38 of 501 Buzz in Radio on all stations by luvtoshop Jul 31, 2007 (6:30 am)
I have been getting a high buzz during radio play that is consistent with pressure on the gas pedal. Has anyone else had problems with the radio? It has XM and the rear DVD player. Thanks.

Replying to: powergirl88 (Jul 27, 2007 10:16 am) Just bought my car three weeks ago and the tail gate thing started last night. The car has never been hit. Have they been able to fix it and is it part of a recall? Thanks.

Replying to: seabrook99300m (Jul 16, 2007 3:46 pm) I ordered my Acadia in April and received it in June. Two weeks ago, we stopped at a red light and when we tried to drive forward, the Acadia would only go about 5 miles per hour. We called OnStar and had them run a check and they said we needed to take it to the dealer. We took it to the dealer and they cleaned a valve they said was sticking. Yesterday, we were at a red light and the same thing happened. We pulled over and turned off the engine and restarted. Last night, again at a red light, the check engine light came on and the car would not move except at about 5 miles per hour. I am going to call the dealership Monday morning and take it back again. I love my Acadia other than this problem.
