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?

Seventeen more lease payments to go before I rid myself of this mistake. Never again GM. Just the other day the outside temp showed 116 degrees....when it was 80. They have a residual of like $28K for 36K miles on my 2008 SLT-2. It'll probably be worth half that in November 2010. Anyone tried the Ford Flex? Thinking about that, maybe a used XC90 or GL450.

creaking fixed

I seem to be the only one here with a good story!! Bought our SLT2 a month ago, and I noticed creaking over medium road imperfections. I isolated it to where the plastic underneath the instrument cowl is screwed into the cowl itself. The dealer installed some foam between, and the problem is completely gone, makes the vehicle seem so much more solid.
So far, no other problems.

Our Acadia shuts off whenever and where ever it feels like it. It has turned off on the Interstate going 65 mpl and sitting at the grocery store. It is currently at the dealer and they can find nothing wrong with the electrical. They want to keep it for the next few days to see if they can figure out the problem. This is clearly a safety issue -- losing power at 65 mpl or on making a turn is scary. I have had to put my car in neutral and let it roll to the side of the road on more than one occasion. Eventually, the car recovers and turns on, but we have no faith in the car because it locks up at random times. I have teenage drivers and they are no longer allowed to drive the Acadia -- this is ridiculous . We have an old 1993 Mini-van that handles better than our 07 Acadia!

Yes, I have had this happen to me, and had it fixed right away. They had to replace on of the struts that holds the hatch up. This is very dangerous, as even when I pushed against the hatch, it wouldn't respond and stop, because it was in powered mode. Scary. I'm reasonably strong and could barely get the thing to stop from squashing me. Within just a couple days, it would fail altogether when the door got to the top, and just dead drop closed. Would crush a kid if he happened to be near the door, so I got it fixed w/in a week.
