Replying to: manufan1 (Sep 15, 2008 7:51 am) Yes it is a dream but when will the manufacturers ever learn? In doing some research I learned that the Lemon Law is difficult to enforce for MPG reasons unless the mileage is off by 50%. Also, the service manager at my dealership said that GM recommends Regular Quiktrip gas as the best gas for optimum MPG. He said their formulation is the best. He asked for my manual mileage calculations which I am glad to provide. Replies to this message: jay_24 (Sep 17, 2008 9:56 am)

Replying to: wantreliefnow (Sep 16, 2008 4:07 am) However GM doesn't come up with the MPG numbers. The EPA does and it clearly specifies results may vary.   From following the Honda Pilot message boards I've seen results vary widely and manytime comes down to location, driving style and conditions. CIty conditions can be very different and perhaps yours are worst case. 10 to 12mpg happens for the PIlot too.

Replying to: ntelly (Sep 02, 2008 8:03 am) Yes, the steering problem in wet weather is on the 2007 model.

Replying to: ntelly (Sep 02, 2008 8:03 am) I had the groaning sound on my 2007 and took it to the dealer. They checked the power steering fluid and it was full. However they found a service bulletin which states that the power steering fluid needs to be topped off above full. Have your dealer check for this bulletin. However I never had any loss of steering control. This is unacceptable and in my opinion you should insist the dealer replace the power steering pump under warranty.
#327 of 495 Quick Question about wiring in rear compartment? by cway77 Oct 03, 2008 (7:08 am)
Hello,   No problems yet but thats becuase I just picked up my 08 Acadia yesterday. When I got it home and started to get it situated found this long bundle of wires attached to a square electrical component on the end. Looks like this could deffinitly plug into something but wondering if anyone has a clue as to what?? It was just freely sitting in that compartment and not attached to anything. I couldn't find anything in the maual about this and am very curious. Any insight on this would be much appreciated. Thanks!   Chad Replies to this message: safety9285 (Oct 04, 2008 5:08 am)

Replying to: cway77 (Oct 03, 2008 7:08 am) Did you order the trailering package? If you did, like I did, that is alternate wiring for a different kind of electrical hook up. That compartment is also where you Satelite/Radio Attentena is stored when it comes from the Factory. I found that out on the drive home from the dealer when I had lousy reception on the radio. I called the dealer and they said "whoops" we must have forgot to put that little antenna on. They told me where to find it (the compartment) and that is when I found the wiring harness you are talking about. No problem.

Replying to: heatonrx (Jul 16, 2008 4:09 pm) Not sure if you're still checking this thread but I have the same leak problem w/ my 2007 Acadia SLT - I'm wondering if it's even worth the hassel of going through the dealership at this point From what I have researched and read from this forum, GMC is either unaware (or at least unconcerned) about the potenial severity of mixing water and electricity. Have you found a resolution for the reason or origin of the leak(s) you experienced? In mine, the water seems to be making entry from somewhere in the front portion of the roof, possibly the parallel seam moldings on either side of the roof or the roof rack anchors in the front. The water runs straight down into the interior door frame angling downwards towards the driver's side fuse panel and the passenger's side glove box and literally pours onto the floor mats. Please let me know what you have found out....
#330 of 495 2007 Acadia roof leak(s) by texicb Oct 04, 2008 (1:59 pm)
Apparently, GMC is either unaware (or at least unconcerned) about the potenial severity of mixing water and electricity. My 2007 Acadia SLT has leaks in a yet undetermined origin in the roof. The water seems to be making entry from somewhere in the front portion of the roof, possibly the parallel seam moldings on either side of the roof or the roof rack anchors in the front. I'm confident it is not the sunroof. The water runs straight down into the interior door frame, soaking the the outer headliner and angles downward towards the driver's side fuse panel and the passenger's side glove box and literally pours onto the floor mats. Given the location of this vehicle's primary electrical circuit loads and fuse panel, this is a very dangerous place to have water present. I have read some other threads about the same type of leak(s) causing severe electrical problems which could (and will) cause a catastrophic electrical failure while driving. If anyone has any information regarding the origin and reolution for this leak situation, please respond and let me know.

Replying to: texicb (Oct 04, 2008 1:59 pm) I had water in the front passenger foot well on my new Acadia 08. The dealer said there was a factory recall fix which involved a drain tube of some kind. Since it has been installed, I have had no other leaks. I never had a wet headliner and that is terrible.

Replying to: wantreliefnow (Oct 06, 2008 4:57 am) I haven't heard anything about a factory recall - the recalls usually take a few years to pop up because the manufacturer (GMC) doesn't want to jump the gun. I have read many forums and blogs that mention the problem stemmed from the drain tubes/hoses which were not connected or connected improperly. CAN YOU PROVIDE THE INFORMATION YOU RECEIVED ON THE RECALL, MAYBE A RECALL # OR CODE. IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. You can contact me a eric.g.richards1navy.mil...Thanks! Replies to this message: Puder (Dec 20, 2008 9:28 pm) donl1 (Dec 21, 2008 10:42 am)
