I have a 2008 slt2 - my sensor is off also - am having it looked at next week. The service manager told me plus or minus ten degrees is the norm - that's not acceptable to me. Will post repair outcome.

Water Leak/Radio Prob/Clunking noise front/rear end

We own a 2007 FWD Acadia. We noticed after a good rain that there were water drops under both interior far back panels near the back hatch. Also, the clunking noise when you first take off is heard daily in the front and the rear. Our radio also recently made a noise that sounded like something burned out in it then the volume went lower.
I took the car in for service for these items. They told me that there was a bulletin for the water leak and it was actually the sun roof leaking. I was informed that the clunking in the front and rear was from the anti-lock brakes and that it's normal because the feature is actually turning on when I hear the sound. They told me that if I don't hear it, then it becomes a problem. They couldn't find a problem with the radio even though we have to put more bass in the radio now and turn the volume up higher.
The water leak in the sunroof was fixed, but the headliner had to be removed. Not sure how happy I am that the headliner has been removed and reinstalled, but what can you do.

I had water drops under the interior rear back panels (near the back hatch door) after a good rain. I was told there was a bulletin out on this already and it was the sunroof leaking.

I have 07 GMAC Acadia, with only 4900 miles the Service Stability Traction Control light came on and once I stopped the vehicle would not move until I turned the engine off and restarted. It has been in the shop 28 days and I have filed Lemon Law since GM said they would not repurchase or replace since it will be fixed tomorrow. We'll See. How your experience with GM customer serv?

I never had to deal with GM Customer Service. I went through my dealer and they promptly fixed the problem. Good luck with your car.

GM acknowledges that they have a problem with the ambient temperature sensor. I had my car in for the same problem. The GM engineers are working on the problem - it seems to be the placement of the sensor. You need to take your vehicle to your dealer and let them know of your problem, then it will be on record with GM. When a fix is found, then they can notify you. This problem affects the Acadia, Outlook and Enclave. Your dealer can give you the service bulletin on this problem.

I fix leaks for a living. There is a tsb out on the acadia...also on the similar buick and saturn models. However I have seen two other problems. The rear movable sunroof drain tubes come loose from their connectors. Those are also the front drains for the rear stationary roof window. Also the urethene adhesive that glues in the rear stationary roof window can have a gap in it. the dealer must lower the headliner first and watertest the roof for at least 40 minutes. The vehicle should be parked at a 15 degree incline during the test.

Had the software update done last week and there was a noticeable improvement. One side effect, thermometre is stuck at 1 degree Celsius (and it is +14 outside). Back to the shop!
