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

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.

Acadia shutting off in the middle of traffic

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.

We had the same thing happen and the dealership had to keep the car for 8 weeks. They drove it everyday -- even gave it to one of there servicemen to drive back and forth to work. Finally, it happened to them - 3 times. They could not fix it. Even had diagnostics running when it shut off -- it gave them no answers. Eventually, we were able to get out of our lease and the dealership returned the car to GMC -- the dealership said they didn't want to be part of the paper trail if GMC resold it and someone died in an accident. It is very scary and there should be a recall of this GMC. Our car did the same thing and at speeds of 65 - 70 on the highway. Very Dangerous! Good Luck. It took us about 6 months to return the car and have GMC take it back....but they did take it back and they are very aware the problem exists.

I am so glad someone had this happen to them. They trying to make me think it's my imigination. I filed the lemon law through the BBB and I've already sent all my papers. GM want me to drive my vehicle, in traffic to another car dealership in another town, which happens to be the dealership I purchased the car from. I told them to have it towed and they told me it would be out of my pocket. I don't thnk so! My car has been service over 4 to 5 times at a dealership in my town and they can't get it to duplicate. I keep trying to tell them it doesn't do it everyday, it's random. Thank you so much for replying.
