I too have experienced the dreaded leaky sunroof as have MANY other Acadia owners. I just got it back last night from the dealer-- this was the 4th attempt to solve the leaking issue. They discovered the leak was coming from the stationery sunroof in the back of the car even though the water always leaked down the passenger side on the floor, through the grab bar, sun visor and dome lights. I had an indoor sprinkler in my car. We had heavy rain today and so far no leaks. However, i am still contacting GM and the BBB about this car and all it's problems. We Acadia owners have all paid too much for a vehicle which clearly has serious design flaws that could potentially ruin the electrical system! Has anyone tried the Buyback program? If so, what is involved?

i have a 2008 acadia that had this problem - and i actually did not notice.
I had it in the shop having a leaky transmission fixed (you name the problem, this car has had it!). When they were finished with it and the service manager drove it around to me, she noticed the popping. She turned around and took it back to the technician.
The steering column was replaced - twice. It does not pop and click anymore.

I believe I had this problem for the first year. It happened only when driving slow and made turns. I brought it to dealership and a mechanic tested it with me and he said it is because of the new thread of the tires and they couldn't do anything.... One and a half year passed, that sound gone, I haven't heard it for long time.

AM Radio Buzz

My 2007 GMC Acadia suddenly has an intermittent buzzing on the AM radio. Anything I can do? Is my GMC dealer set up to fix this or should I go to a car audio shop? I have 55,000 miles so it's out of warranty.
Thanks.

Did you ever find out about the fuel smells coming from the vents. Going through the same thing with same response from the dealers.

Transmission Oil Leak

I have a 2007. No issues. One problem that just came up with ~50K miles.
The dealer noticed a Transmission Oil Leak when they were doing a regular oil change. When they went to fix it they said it had something to do with the seal on the torque converter. Anyway, they fixed it as a power train warranty item at no charge. No problems since then. They did say they have seen this problem on a few of the older Acadia's like mine.
The real scary thing about this problem is that you will not find a a leak on the driveway. The leak happens at highway speeds and mostly disappates into the air. What they noticed was that the underside of the car had a film on it. When they checked the stick I was over a quart of transmission fluild low and no spot on the drive way. Other week or another trip and I would have lost the transmission.

I did not get anything resolved from the dealer. They couldn't seem to notice the same smell we were!!! ( Imagine that!!) We hated to do it ---- but we traded the Acadia. Broke my heart to do it, but we were getting really close to having to buy an extended warranty to get thing fixed which should have been covered &/or fixed under the original warranty. Couldn't see spending $$ for an extended warranty & then more $$ for the deductibles on the repairs. Maybe, if GM survives & can get thing corrected on the Acadia, we'll look into maybe buying another one, but I'd have to be completely satisfied that all -- & I mean all -- the issues had been resolved!! I really miss that car, it was wonderful to drive!!
