#467 of 492 Acadia Issues by akrivoshein Sep 07, 2009 (1:45 pm)
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? Replies to this message: alman08 (Sep 19, 2009 8:38 am)

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!!!

Replying to: bfamily (Jun 15, 2009 7:18 am) My 2009 Acadia AWD has an odor similar to natural gas. Have taken it to dealer three times and they act like I'M crazy. Any suggestions?

#474 of 492 Worst car I have ever owned by usraptr Oct 04, 2009 (8:17 am)
Purchased a 2007 AWD Acadia in Sept 07. Currently has 21K miles. It has spent more time in the shop than my 99 Chrysler LHS with 186K miles ever did. To be fair the good first: 1. AWD works great, We live in snow country and have never been stuck. Plows right through. 2. Styling. 3. Seats are very comfortable, especially lumbar support. 4. Tons of storage space with rear and middle seats folded down. 5. Leg room in middle quad seats and rear bench seat.   Bad: 1. Came with high beams only working. Took three trips to dealer to get fixed. For two month opposing drivers hated my guts. 2. Sunroof leak. Three trips to get fixed. 3. Transmission TSB/reset. 4. As mentioned, glare from chrome A/C bezels. 5. Windshield wiper recall. 6. Averages 15.5 to 16.7 MPG combined driving compared to 21.5 MPH in LHS. Will bet 22 MPG on a freeway trip at 70 MPH. Goes down 2MPH for every increase of 5 MPH in speed. 7. Engine is barely adequate in horsepower. Really needs a 4 L. Trans has to downshift for the slightest uphill grades. Rumor has it that a new "Denali" version with come with a 4 L. Struggles to tow my 16 foot aluminum boat, especially on grades. 6. Rattles, especially one under dash, when in drive, stopped with foot on brake. Very annoying when stopped for red lights. Dealer can't duplicate, naturally. I have a one ton truck that has a suspension that will sake the fillings out of your teeth. Yet it has not rattles. Go figure. 7. Rattle on passenger side in front or rear door when going over 35 MPH on semi rough roads/pavements. Dealer can't duplicate. (Did I mention I can't stand rattles!) 8. #1 complaint. Noisy power steering. Been back to dealer twice to bleed system per TSB and howl always come back. Getting ready to take it back a third time. Very noticeable when making slow speed turns and accelerating from stop to 15 MPH. EXTREMELY ANONYING. Our neighbor also had a 2007 and their power steering went out three separate times. I mean it completely quit where they had to be towed. They also had the issue where the car intermittently wouldn't accelerate and the car would lock itself, once with the keys in the ignition. After the P/S went out the third time they traded it in for a Honda Pilot. 9. Suspension is very stiff for a Crossover. More like a SUV or truck than an car/crossover. I hate this car. Would not recommend it to anyone. I'd get rid of it in heartbeat but it's paid for and I'd take a bath on buying a new car. I prefer driving my 1 ton truck this car. Fortunately, it's my wifes car and I only have to drive it occasionally.
