Problems to date: -Axel Seals  20,000km -A/C drain keeps plugging resulting in water flowing around in vents -Power Windows died -Front fan died, likely due to the water/condensation running around in there -Getting set (waiting for part) for GM to take the engine out for the third time in 57,000kms. This time is the cam chain/timing chain issue. Other time were for various sensors. -Check engine light comes on every 5 days or so. Long story short, piece of garbage. Thank God it's a lease. 7 more months and they can have it back. I pity the poor guy/gal that they sell it to used. |

So, It has been 21 days now and my 2007 Acadia is still at the dealership. THey did call 2 days ago and said they needed the rental car back. Even though my car wasnt fixed and they were waiting on2 parts. I told them no, because It was a safety issue and I was scared to drive my car. The service guy offered to drive it home tosee how safe it was. On his way home, the AC went out for the second time and the gears were all messed up. So he calls the next day and says we will be keeping your car a little longer. The gears skip first and go to second which means for me that when I need to accelerate quickly, I cant because I am in second gear when I start which is what caused me to take the car in initially when I almost had a wreck crossing an intersection. The service manager called and admitted that we had more than the average number of service calls and most were not just nickle and dime things but in 4 months our warrenty is out and in 2 years we will have it paid . We can call better business bureu and in 6 months GMC could buy the car back but we would have to pay 3 cents for every 30,000 miles that we have driven. He couldnt believe that we are just waiting till now to start complaining. I quess I shouldnt have given them the benifit of the doubt? Our other options are $2400 dollars toward a new car. That means 5 more years of payments or keep the clunker and go into debt when the warrenty is over in 4 months. I wish I never bought this car. I am soooo stressed . Kerrie |

I purchased a new 2008 Acadia last year for my wife. We had several issues with it since. 1. Water leaks both by the rear antenna and also the main Sunroof. 2. Replaced the main computer twice. 3. Replaced struts in the front. 4. Replaced bracket for wheal housing on front driver side. 5. Had and still have traction control issues, had the vehicle in the shop several times issue still not resolved. 6. Air Bags have been and will have to be serviced again. 7. Rear hatch opens up on command but abruptly starts closing making this a serious issue is you do not catch it on time. I am taking my vehicle back in this week to my local GM dealer to try and get these issues resolved. If I had to do this again I would not purchase an Acadia. |

I bought in august of 07 and have had leaking issue ever since. I took in 8 different times and they could never pin point the leak. Call GM and the had me take it to a different dealer to fix the problem. That was 10 weeks ago and they still have my car. Tomorrow we have an appointment with a lawyer. I don't know what else to do. They dealership where they are working on it said that the 2008 with dual sunroofs has 3 holes that are not sealed and that is where the water is coming in. So from the day that this car came off the assemble line it has leaked. When owned by GM, Dealership I purchased it from and Myself. In my area it has rained and snowed 150 times, not including the times i have washed and times it rain or snowed when I was in it out of times. Water has leak inside my vehicle probably over 200 times. no wonder I have had so many problems with this car. Why Does GM not see what I see?

| My 07 Acadia has mold from the leaks. I opened a case with GM and the GM rep dismissed it because he found an old snack size can of tuna under the seat. He said the smell was from this. The smell is mold. I think it is from the sunroof problems. There mold in the a/c system and the smell comes from the doors. The big issue is that I have been sick. No energy, weight gain, swollen glands, coughing. I'm being poisoned by this car. I have tons of doctor bills because we could not figure out what was wrong. The dealership, Freeman in Grapevine Texas, has tried so hard to fix the problem. They have had the car 3 times. GM got a ton of money and they are not being responsible for their screwed up cars. I will have to pay the price to get rid of the car. I had a lease and it's not up for 2 more years. GM should be responsible for this. Don't buy an Acadia!!! | |
