#1 of 11 Any problems with 08 acadia seats releasing? by crzymama

I have had my car for 21 months now and I keep having a problem with the middle row seats releasing and popping up on its own. The back of the seat remains intact while the cushion pops up and acts like a catapult. This has occured while my 4 year old has been in his car seat as well as overnight while the car is sitting in the driveway. This is such a safety hazard and GMC has officially told me that they are not going to do anything about this problem because they can't figure it out. I even purchased a new booster seat thinking that was causing it and it still happens. Any one else out there having a similiar issue?

I have had our 2008 Acadia since last August and we have been having the middle row seat, behind the driver side, releasing on it's own as well. I have complained but they said there was nothing wrong. I am very concerned, my daughter , also in a booster seat felt it releasing while I was driving. What can we do to get this fixed, I don't want to drive with my daughter in the seat anymore. After the whole problem with Toyota, I think I am going to take this problem to the media, maybe with exposure they will do something....could you imagine if there was a car accident!

I would love to find more owners who are having this problem. I have not checked this email in a while because they replaced our bench seat with a new one............and would you believe it - it happened AGAIN! I am starting to feel like I am going to have a nervous breakdown over this car. People think I am crazy when I ask them. I am glad you responded.

Hello!
I'm glad that you responded back. At the time I posted this problem on Edmunds I also emailed GM Canada...they responded right away and set up an appointment with the dealership.
The dealership could not find the problem....however, they decided to replace the track, not the seat, this past Friday. So far no problems....I am keeping a close eye on it. Did you purchase your vehicle in Canada or USA? I purchased it in Canada but I believe it was shipped from the US. In your email you said they replaced the bench....I have bucket seats in the middle so, maybe it is a track problem...let me know.
Thank you!

Hello!
Just thought I could confirm your progress with your seat....
I had the track of my seat replaced...was fine for about a week and then, it happened again! The seat release while we were driving. Are we the only two with this problem!!

Hello Mariah,
I'm hoping you can help me out here! I have an 08 Acadia, purchased in Canada but the vehicle was from the US. I continue to have the same problem...the dealership already replaced part of the track system....it is still releasing. I have browsed through other websites and it looks like there are more people out there with this problem....is this a recall.... I have a 7 year old daughter sitting in that seat....this really scares me...
