Replying to: tuffsubject (Aug 31, 2008 7:37 pm) We use this extra storage space for packs of gum, a pen & a notepad which comes in very handy when needed. My friend also has an Acadia and she uses this space to store her sunglasses (she has a habit of sitting on them).

Replying to: kkness (Sep 08, 2009 10:34 am) We have the same problem. Dealer installed some "splash guards" with no resolution. Seems to happen right after car is started and then goes through puddle. What has your dealer said?
#481 of 491 So far so good to my Acadia by manufan1 Oct 13, 2009 (7:37 am)
I bought my '07 SLE Acadia in the summer of 2007, with AWD, reverse sensor and remote start, XM-radio... NO sunroof. We only drive it in off days, so for almost 2 and a half years, put only 13,000 miles on it... I read this forum periodically, scared by the postings here, but just want to say my Acadia has been problems free since I had it, and keep my finger crossed it doesn't quit on me one day.   I do maintenance every six months, and had the transmission software updates once. I went to the dealer for the wiper change (due to facory recall) once but they did not have the parts, so I had to drive back with only motor oil changed. I will have the wiper changed before winter comes, and will confirm they have the part before I go next time.   Overall, I love my Acadia even more than the first day I bought it. I has been working great for my family.
#482 of 491 2007 Acadia Transmission problems by unhappygmc Oct 19, 2009 (5:55 am)
I have one of the first model Acadia's (Feb 2007). I initially had several problems with the audio/sound system. Problems with the driver chair slipping. But this weekend the transmission locked up on me while on the interstate. Scared me to death.   I can't believe I paid almost 35k for a vehicle that has had so many problems. I am so dissappointed. Not so much that this car has been a nightmare, but more so that my local GM dealer gives me the run around every time I do have something wrong. Waiting now to see what will happen....
#483 of 491 07 Acadia Leaks and new timing belt 18K miles by krakorar Oct 21, 2009 (5:35 am)
Hello, I had my 07 Acadia in for a severe water leak last fall and they had to replace the drain tubes running the length of the roof with longer ones. This summer, the check engine light came on and I needed a new catalytic converter and timing belt. A few weeks later the leak came back and they had to fix the roof rack to stop the leak. We love our Acadia but it only has 18,000 miles on it and it has had significant problems. I just wonder what the future holds. Prior to the 07 Acadia we had a 04 Chevy Trailblazer Ext that had severe engine problems and only 36,000 miles on it when we turned it in off lease. It had a problem where the engine would just completely die (once in a busy intersection where I had to coast into a McDonalds). Prior to these two vehicles we had a 2000 Toyota 4Runner that only had a CD player replaced, other than that it was a dream to own. I want to buy American as my father retired from GM, but I also need our family car to be reliable. My 2000 Saturn LE is very reliable, but Saturn was canned by GM.

Replying to: kkness (Sep 08, 2009 10:34 am) I have had issues with my power steering from the beginning. I took it in and they said nothing was wrong. It doenst lock up, but has this awful humming noise!! it's gotten louder and louder. Other issues, are air bag light keeps coming on, my brakes are failing. They arnt rubbing or sqeaking, but when you press on the brake it just goes down to the floor, like they went out and then i have to pump the brake.!! Cant think of anything else but i am sure more things will come up!

Replying to: rbellcpa (Jun 19, 2009 6:17 am) Dealer has ordered a belt to change which is step 2 after replacing splash guards. Will post results.
#486 of 491 Re: natural gas type smell [bfamily] by jmichaud2 Nov 02, 2009 (12:01 pm)
Replying to: bfamily (Oct 05, 2009 3:54 am) I just purchased an 09 Acadia AWD, and we immediatly noticed the very strong intoxicating natural gas smell that comes from the car - highly intermittant. I saw your notes in here, and asked my dealer to perform the "service fix" that you mention above related to the venting valve.   The service rep at the dealer promptly called me back and let me know that he searched up and down via GM, and cannot find any Service Bulletin published (directly from GM) about this condition.   Do you have any spefic GM Service Bulleting # that I can give them to reference so they can perform this repair?   Thanks Jason Replies to this message: bfamily (Nov 02, 2009 12:21 pm)

Replying to: jmichaud2 (Nov 02, 2009 12:01 pm) Ask your dealer to call the GM technical help line. I don't think there is a published service bulletin out there; might be an internal one (maybe because there are so few cases?). The Tech line should be able to help you.
