My lift gate door fell and hit me in the head out of no where and my car is not on the list for the recall for that exact problem. my airbag indicator goes off all the time even if no one is in the front seat. my speedometer barely works, it goes completely around and i can't get it to reset. i took it to the shop just to be told it's a sensor that causes it along with the slow cranking but they didn't know which one it was because my car has 4.
Worse problem is the gear shifter, when is cool it will shift but after i am driving it i cant hardly get it to change gears or go into park. my lift gate keep coming down when open. also my
Water leakage inside of my vehicle
Water leaks inside the car when it rains mostly on the front area coming from the roof an the side doors.
Takata recall- i purchased a 2008 gmc awd acadia about a year ago. while test driving the vehicle i noticed a whiny sound that i informed the dealer about upon return. the dealer checked it out and told me it just need power steering fluid. so he filled the fluids and i heard nothing for a month or so. i took the truck back for misc. repairs two other times after that regarding sounds that i was heard coming from the vehicle. after that things seemed fine for a few months or so. early september, the truck slowed down on the highway. the dash was reading 60mph but i was really going 30mph. then while exiting to turn off the highway the power steering began acting up and was extremely hard to turn. i almost ran into the wall not prepared to use such force. august 29th i went to jiffy lube and had the fluids topped off and power steering fluid was full. i put the truck in the shop for a full diagnostic after the battery went completely dead and the vehicle would not start in october. they informed me that the power steering rack needing replacing and ...
Since i bought the truck the i get an on and off message to service the air bag. also while i am driving the truck over heats and when i come tona stop and turn the engine off and completely remive the key. the engine stays on and water pump starts to buble as if the water was boiling and after about five minutes there is no water in the pump and when you add water the water get extremely hot. i have seen in other forums where all have had the same issue. i am extremely disappointed in the quality of the vehicle. i have four small children and don't feel safe however the truck is financed and i have no option.
Car rolls when in park. i have viewed hundreds of comments online of the same make/model/year doing the same thing.
My 2008 gmc acadia leaks water in several different locations inside the vehicle when it rains. it has leaked water through the air bags and i'm now concerned that the air bags could be water damaged and compromised. it leaks through electrical components. it smells like mold and mildew in the car. condensation builds up in the car frequently after it rains. the car will also sputter and act like it is going to stall out while driving on the highway sometimes. it tells me to 'service traction controls' and 'service stabilitrack'.
The vehicle turns off abruptly while driving. the vehicle as turned off in a parked-idling position, rolling at five mph, and even between 60-70 mph. most of the time when the car shuts down, you are not able to restart the car without removing the key out of the ignition and inserting it to the on position cycling that motion four to five times. i have researched and spoken to other owners with the same make, model, and year as i have and they are dealing with the same issue. i am certain i am not the only complaint regarding this issue. i am worried about the safety for my family and myself because as mentioned before, this happens at random. there should be some kind of recall for this issue, however there is not. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Had the vehicle in the garage cleaning it out. hatch was up and doors were open. vehicle was not running. i was in the back of the vehicle putting the 2 back seats down. i had 1 leg inside the vehicle and the other hanging out of the back. all of a sudden the back gate came crashing down with no warning onto my leg. i could not get out and had to yell for help for someone to life the lift gate off of my leg. i have not seen a doctor yet but i feel like i need to as my leg is swollen and purple.
The most recent heavy downpour of rain this past week resulted in water pouring in from my headliner!! down both visors and down seatbelt posts. this is an obvious problem that has occurred on the exact model vehicle and year but with different vin numbers associated. i called gm and they stated it's on me to fix. it's the exact defect a huge recall was issued on several years ago, like i said for different vin but same make, model, and year, and it involves the same new kits needing installed that were for that recall. presently waiting for my appt at my local gm dealer to remedy this problem and not happy about the case i opened with gm corporation to basically be advised this morning 'oh well... wasn't for your particular vin so you're out of pocket for this'. not cool!!! please advise what can be done/issue a recall for this!!
Transmission gone completely
Bought 2008 acadia love car but when it rains it leaks in headliner had drain tubes cleaned worked about a month needed to be done again called gm about a recall said they hadn't had any complaints which i see is not true but the problem with the drain tubes is the elbow what idiot would expect to have good drainage with a elbow connected to a small drain tube gm doesn't stand behind their products and needs someone with common sense to design such parts. if it doesn't work they should fix it these vehicles are high priced and cheaply made. driving or parked still leaks
I hear water swishing around in the ceiling, however nothing seems to be wet. the sunroof is always closed. twenty minutes into the drive to work, the emergency brake light on the dash board came on while i was driving on the highway (even though the brake was not engaged).... the dash brake light and chime sound continued until i reached my destination. when i finally stopped and turn the car off and on...both had stopped. after completing my work day, i started the car again and the emergency brake dash light came on again...the brake was not engaged....i turned the car off and restarted...then it went away. i still here water in the roof when i turn corners.
2nd time to dealer for water leak from sunroof (this time from sunroof that does not open). soaking wet passenger floor, fuse box opened from water, water coming from side pillars. diagnosis last time was tubes, this time window replaced and entire roof sealed. this is so dangerous, especially water running thru fuse box/electrical system. common problem, tsb's and yet no recall by gm. dealer refuses to honor tsb & request gm pay for repairs. $400.00 just for labor. reading all over the internet plus tsbs, water damage is common for 2008 acadia and future vehicles. the government allowing gm to continue putting our lives at risk & not forcing a recall is ridiculous. i understand normal wear & tear but gm acadia's are defective, all of my repairs have been due to defects!
