It would be great, but now that I am using the AC again...it is back in full force. Can't stand the smell. I have to use the recirculating feature to be able to stand having it on. Also, this past month, we have seen record breaking rainfall in our area, so guess what else is back?  You're right, leaking from the sunroof and a headliner with lots of water marks to prove it! I hate this car. I am so done. I will pursue the lemon law and if I don't get anywhere...it is foreign for me from here on out. Not dealing with American engineering any more. Sorry, the the foreigners just have a leg up and they know how to build a car. Think they would train some American engineers on quality?

i also contacted a lemon lawyer and submitted all my paperwork and they offered nothing so now they are going back to the drawing board with a different lawyer so we are waiting to see what happens. i'm afraid to drive mine after my left wheel fell off it has never been the same.now the wheel shakes after 60mph i just want them to take this car back. how long did it take for your response from them? are they going to buy the vehicle back?

I heard from the District Specialist from GM the next day after I called and all she could say was..."no" "no" "no" or " I'll have to check"...she was no help...I'm still dealing with her 2 weeks later but I also sent a"nice" letter to the President of GM, Troy A. Clarke and my dealership's owner saying that they have 1 chance to do the right thing or I have all the Lemon Law paperwork filled out and ready to go... The Attorny said to definetly file a claim but once you do you have to keep the car til it's settled...and still may have to keep it then...I'm so fed up I don't know if I want to wait that long...I would rather spend a couple of thousand $'s and buy something else than to deal with these people...GM really screwed up on this Acadia and just won't admit it...

Not sure how the arbitration process goes in each state, but I filed with my paperwork with the Attorney Generals Office, not GM. I never used an attorney. I had to pay a total of $250. They scheduled a hearing at a convenient location. MY husband and I went and explained to the arbitrator the problems we were having. GM sent a lawyer and expert mechanic. But the law is on our side. If you are having problems and have taken the proper steps to rectify the situation (follow your states lemon laws) you can win. I had to take my car in 4 times, keep all paperwork and receipts, if GM could not fix the proble, I had a case. It had tried deal with GM but they were no help. Contact the Attorney Generals Office, Arbitration Program.

I had the same problem with mine. I took it in and they topped off the power steering fluid and it solved the problem. There is a service bulletin for this issue, but the number isn't on my invoice.

Roll Back on Inclines?

I have an 09 Acadia SLT1. I noticed that on inclines, that are not too steep, the truck seems to roll back like it has a manual transmission or the truck is in neutral. Is this normal or should I get this looked at?

I am sooo done with GM...the "district specialist" that I have been dealing with for 3 weeks lied to me about who she was...I found out yesterday that GM outsources it's warranty and coustomer service to a company in Argentina...What the hell...??? they won't tell me who the company is either...these are the people you get when you call the phone #'s in the warraanty books...ask them when you call...GM has alot of nerve asking for our money and sending it to Argentina...maybe Obama can fix this...??? Good Luck...My dealer has agreed to "help" but says any buyback must come from GM and with the problems they are having it would be a long drawn out deal...I'm at the point of taking the Acadia to a Lexus dealer and buying a real product...NEVER AGAIN GM...NEVER...

I think we all need to get together and file a class action lawsuit. Everyone I know that has a sunroof has had leaking issues. Some say they still love their vehicle, but they are unhappy with the leaking. GM owes us all a lot of money. I was so disgusted last Fall that I went to a Nissan dealership and asked what they would give me on a trade. Paid $44,000 9 months prior (new) and they offered me $25,000. Wow, what a bath! I couldn't afford to lose that much money, but really I have. They told me they could find a 2008 Acadia on the internet (9000 miles) for $25,000 on any site. They said GM's Bankruptcy and other problems have made these cars very undesireable. They are right. You can get a 2008 for $25,000. Maybe that is why they are sending this little coupon for more off on a new one. But who would want another one and lose another ton of money?
