While attempting to maneuver out of a parking space, my wheels locked up. still thinking the wheel had turned enough, i attempted to clear a cement bea, however the car rolled into it. i was told that the tire had detached from the car "rod under the car" which prevented me from turning. *tr
The power steering stopped working while driving and i had to complete emergency maneuvers to get the car off of the road. *tr
I have been very disappointed with my vehicle! when i was in the market for a new vehicle i new i wanted the acadia. i have been a long time customer at my local dealership and when i arrived at the lot they had just brought in a 2008 that had one owner. i was ecstatic because it was everything i could want and not as expensive as a 2012. when i first started driving it was great i loved it! i bought the car with 8,000 or so miles on it and as time went on i started to notice that it wasn't driving like it did the first day i bought it. i drive to and from work 5 days week roughly 35 miles a day. i was in town at the bank and as i started to pull out into the lane my rpm's went sky high and wouldn't come back down and i could not accelerate. i was so scared i pulled over in the next available spot and turned off the car. i waited for 5 minutes, turned it back on and proceeded to pull into traffic. ever since that day my car has been in the shop twice for transmission issues. i currently have 29,000 miles on the car and it drives like crap! i have it aligned, tires rotated, and i cannot get a smooth ride. the steering wheel shimmies over 50 mph, shimmies when i hit the breaks, my heater doesn't seem to work well unless it is on 85 way too hot. i now have to take the car back into the shop yet again for the same thing transmission failure, alignment off, and who knows what else. i read a lot reviews on this model and seems as though we have all experienced the same issues. i have been a long time pontiac/gmc buyer and i am very disappointed in gm for not taking this transmission thing serious. how many more complaints do you need to receive before something is done? fatal accident? in which case i hope it isn't me but also nobody else. please fix this issue it has been a thorn for some time and it's about time that gm do something about it! *tr
