I purchased a 2007 acadia fully loaded. In Feb of this year (09) the stabili track sensor came on and the engine began making noise. I was able to drive the car into the dealer ship although under reduced power. The long and short is that GMC customer service has determined that I have abused the car by not having the last oil change record and that the car was run without oil. They will not honor the warranty and I am having the BBB take them to arbitration. I really was excited about this car when it first came out. I purchased to new cars in 07, one was a Lincoln and the other is this acadia. I wish I had bought two Lincoln's. Any one with similar problems I would love to hear your story.

Replying to: mikekris (Jul 01, 2009 5:38 am) find anything wrong. The car has been in the shop at total of 38 days. The ignition had to be replace early on and the check engine light has been a recuring problem. any one else have the stalling problem? Any Transmission problems? I agree with mikekris, this is a real safety issue. |

| I have a 2007 acadia with 30,000 miles. I am now afraid to dive this car. Twice, the feul sensor has gone out. Which means that I was driving down a busy highway and all of a sudden I am going about 20 MPH. THis was most dangerous the other day when I was crossing a busy intersection and was almost hit when the car just wouldnt cross the street. The dealership has now had the car for 11 days and while they had it the air conditioning went out for the sencond time. I have had 2 DVD players, the driver and passenger seat wouldnt lock in place. The back hatch feel on my little girl. The power steering fluid ran out, the lumbar on the drivers seat blew out and many many other issues. My neighbors think I get a new car each month because I have to drive a rental for at least 10 days each trip to the dealership.. What rights do we have? The dealership says as long as it is under warrenty that they will fix any problem. Well, what happens when the next speed sensor goes out and I have a wreck and my children are injured? Who can I call for help? | |

| hi there i have a 07 acadia and since we bought it we have had nothing but problems.it all started with the rear tail gate opening on its own while driving down the hiway,and not locking this was a really nice option when you have kids.second problem we had was the sun roof leaked like faucete witch recked the hole roof and the carpet flooring becuase of the mold it created.third problem was the time belt which we had changed for the third time.this vehicle has spent a total of sixty days in the shop getting repairs.its to the point now that gm tells us if the timeing belt blows one more time they r replacing our vehicle.i just dont like this vehicle anymore and just today the roof started leaking again awsome. so in the end not a very reliable family vehicle. | |

I have a 2007 that was one of the last to come off the line in that model year. I have had zero problems except one. When I went to have the oil changed at 52000 miles, the GMC dealer noticed that I had a transmission oil leak and I was down quite a bit on the fluid. The concern for owners is that this leak is by the torque converter and the leak only happens at speed, meaning you will not find a drip in the driveway so I was totally unaware of the problem. I was fortunate that I am religious about changing the oil since the next trip that week would have done my transmission in. The seals were replaced under warranty. If you are at 50K miles, and low on transmission fluid, this is what is going on and the Dealers are aware of this problem |
