My car has been leaking inside due to manufacturer defect with the seal of the windshield and in top and causing electrical issues for car one example transmission control module and etc
Takata recall it keeps shutting completely down in the middle of highway and this affects everything steering, complete loss of power to vehicle. no codes to indicate something is wrong !!!! extremely dangerous this has continued to occur even after parts have been replaced brand new. more than 5 times already. this will most certainly lead to death. i have 3 children with me at all times. that's 4 lives that could be lost because of this problem!!!! . we have been extremely lucky because it has shift down in the middle of the night and bridges where there is nowhere to get on the side but remain in the lanes where traffic is 70 mph and up!!!! this needs to be recalled immediately!!!! *tr
The timing chain broke which in turn broke the engine as well. it happened as i was exiting the highway, it just stalled and would not start again.
While driving on the freeway the engine locked in the middle lane of busy traffic
I bought my 2008 gmc acadia and not long after the check engine light came on. it was the timing chain. i had the chevy dealership replace it which was almost $3000.00. about a year and a half later it has gone out again. and i can't afford another $3000.00. now it's just sitting. very up set about this.
Check engine light came on due to jumped timing 3 days after we had purchased the vehicle from a dealership and a little over a year later it had jumped timing again so now i have to come up with 800 to tear down the motor so they can properly diagnose it. so i do not have the money for that so now i am stuck with a vehicle that i am paying for and cannot drive. it is sitting in my driveway as we speak. the vehicle was in the driveway and we were getting ready to leave when it happened. both times. the dates it happened were 1/5/2018 with 137000 miles on it and the other date was 2/5/2019 and it has 152045 miles on it.
This has been the most unsafe car i have ever owned. i can not even trade it in the get a safer car. we have come so close to having many accidents with this car. the steering just freezes up the engine will just shut down will driving. we have had the transmission replaced once and not it needs replaced again. we are not hard on our cars..i just hope it does not come down to having a accident before someone sees how bad this car is.. this happens off and on all the time hard to put the dates and times down when this happens, we take into a dealer and it does not happen with them or the cost is just crazy.
The vehicle is having issues with transmission, there is a recall on other vehicles of the same make and model in a large range of years. the recall is a transmission solenoid. however because under the vin number it does not show there is a recall this will not be fixed free by dealership. this is very dangerous because it happens randomly while driving.
My traction control and service stabilitrak light keeps coming on. now my check engine light came on and says camshaft sensor. i took to a mechanic and they said that i need a new motor.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 gmc acadia. while driving 25 mph, the check engine indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed that the cam shaft needed to be replaced. the contact was also informed by another independent mechanic that the entire engine needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 142,293.
While accelerating i've noticed my vehicle has some type of wave plate issue but it seems common for these vehicles. it jerks and shakes and it's not safe.
On 4 separate occasions within a 3 week period the vehicle would accelerate while driving without driver prompts or control (rpms revved from 2000 to over 6000 and speed would increase from 50 mph to over 85 mph with accelerator pegged to the floor.) the only way to correct this was to put the vehicle in neutral, coast to the side of the road, stop the vehicle and turn off the engine for 10-15 minutes, then restart it and it would run normally for short periods of time. if i drove the vehicle for more than 30 minutes at a time it would react this way every time and nearly caused me to hit 2 vehicles on the interstate. on one occasion i had to impact a guardrail to slow the vehicle down. i took the vehicle to a certified gmc dealership who stated on both occasions they could not repeat the problem after driving it for 5-10 minutes or less than 15 miles. when i informed them that it only occurred after 30-45 minutes of driving, the technician stated he didn't have time to drive the vehicle that length of time or distance and went on to say ...
The timing chain is going bad for no reason, and i know is not olthe only one, a friend of mine has the same truck with the same problem for no reason as well... i was on my way to school and the truck lost the power and didn't come back so, i had to call the tow truck and take it to the shop where they told me that the time chain was bad. i would really appreciate that you do some research and help me and other people who has the same truck as me.
2008 gmc acadia with 140,000 miles ran fine on saturday 11/24/18. no noise, no issues, no warning lights. monday 11/26/18, engine would turn over, but not crank. again, no noise, etc. had towed to a local gmc dealership that has completed all work and maintenance on car. results=? broken timing chain. ???? there was a recall on 2007 and 2009 gmc acadia's. if there was assistance with 2007 and 2009, how could they not have sca/recall for 2008. it is obvious that the problem was not corrected in 2007 or they would not have had to include 2009. gmc needs to step up to the plate. we have had multiple engine issues with this 2008 gmc acadia. please advise
There is a recall on the convertrr post that causes the engine to seize up and pull to go into the engine.. when started nothing comes out of the exhaust pipes as they are clogged making it dangerous to operate.. the recall ignoramus this year, make and model for the same problem however after contacting gmc repeatedly they say that it doesn't include this exact vin..i have already had the engine replaced once due to this problem and ther dealer failed to diagnose it properly and acknowledge that it had the same problem as the recall in other vehicles ofthe same make and model... the vehicle sizes up at any rate of speed and the exhaust is clogged making the vehicle dangerous to operate
