#483 of 488 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: 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.
#488 of 488 Acadia shutting off in the middle of traffic by brown2428 Nov 20, 2009 (9:43 pm)
Have anyone had any problems with their acadia shutting of in the middle of traffic. I have a 2008 Acadia that I purchased in October of 2007, currently have 21800 miles. When I first started having this problem I had 19000 miles, that is before the car dealership started driving it around, trying to find the problem. It's stopped on me on the freeway and busy roads. I just so thankful that no one ran into me. The dealership keeping telling me they can't fix the problem if it doesn't duplicate for them, so they keep sending it back home to me and a few days later it stops again. I also have had the stability tracking problem too. I have sent my paperwork to BBB Lemon Law, because I am scarred to drive my car and I think they should replace it.
