#408 of 496 Re: 2007 acadia with steering noise [acadiaowner3] by snwelsh May 11, 2009 (6:43 am)
Replying to: acadiaowner3 (May 07, 2009 6:16 pm) 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.

Replying to: acadiaowner3 (May 07, 2009 6:16 pm) 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.
#412 of 496 AM Radio Buzz by jwalsh9100 May 18, 2009 (9:44 am)
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.

Replying to: coltsfan (Nov 05, 2008 9:12 am) Did you ever find out about the fuel smells coming from the vents. Going through the same thing with same response from the dealers.

#414 of 496 Transmission Oil Leak by safety9285 May 20, 2009 (12:04 pm)
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.

Replying to: sbh3 (May 20, 2009 11:42 am) 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!! Replies to this message: lemonowner08 (May 21, 2009 4:09 pm) bfamily (Jun 15, 2009 7:20 am)

Replying to: coltsfan (May 21, 2009 4:53 am) I totally understand your pain. The dealership we bought our Acadia from wasn't able to fix even the easiest things. I don't think they wanted to. We took it to a dealership about 20 miles away after talking to that service manager about all of our problems with our 2008 Acadia SLT-1. He really wanted to help us out. We had the noisy takeoff, odor coming through vents, leaking sunroof; all the most common complaints heard on this board. The odor turned out to be a coolant leak at thermostat housing. They said they replaced a compression fitting and the thermostat housing. Ours smelled of gas when using the remote start also. They stated they also reflashed the PCM (whatever that is) with updated software for long engine crank that would produce more hydrocarbons. (I am writing exactly what is in the report they provided me after they fixed sooooooooooo many problems. If you want to contact Erickson Pontiac- GMC in Rexburg, Idaho; these guys know their stuff!! It is too bad the Acadia is having so many problems from the factory because it is such a good looking auto. The size is perfect and the whole concept is so great for so many families. But, you have to be able to use it! Darn it, GM. Get it right because I would like to give another one a try when I get ready to trade.
#417 of 496 Re: GMC Acadia Front End Struts [aircooled1] by mnkathi May 26, 2009 (5:16 pm)
Replying to: aircooled1 (May 08, 2009 6:36 am) I have one of the first Acadia's out purchased in February 2007. I have had a lot of the problems already listed but most recently, yours, for the second time. My car has hestiated when it comes time to pass since the day I bought it. The dealer says they can find no problem. I had that thing where you pull up to a stop and your car will not go any faster than 15 mph and it had to go into the shop for two weeks. Last summer, my front end started making those horrible noises and when I took it in they couldn't find anything at first but after I paid for two diagnostics, they said I needed new struts at a cost of $1300. Now it's a little less than a year later and the noises in the front end are starting again. For a nice looking car, it has been nothing but trouble.
