Timing chain issues. failed tensioner. 114,00 miles
The vehicle started with a miss in the engine and took it to our local gmc dealership and they told us it would need a new engine because of the timing belt and being out of time, said it would be $5000. so we wanted a second opinion and had it towed to my mechanic which is a ase certified mechanic and he said the same thing but he said he could just replace the timing belt and get it going and he replaced it but its still out of time and it cost $3250. the gm dealership knew of the problem and said it was a common problem with them and that the 2009 model was covered under the engine recall but not 2010 or newer even though they know about it. had to end up buying another vehicle and still have the other one parked in the shed and cant drive it.
I own a 2010 gmc acadia. the code that was being thrown was p0008. i had to have the chains and actuators replaced in the engine. after paying for that the check engine light is back on again, so the vehicle is back at the shop again. there is a service bulletin out for 2007-2012 however, the extended warranty is only for 2007-2009. this is a known issue that gmc needs to take care of. seems to me that the lemon law may apply as i am seeing more and more people having this same issue. maybe we should contact an attorney to get gmc to take care of this issue.
My acadia is throwing p0008 code. it began having power issues not being able to accelerate and pulling up the smallest hills. all of this started going 70mph down the interstate. not a good spot or time to decelerate. also started having a very rough idle. it is at a gmc dealer now and am being told timing chain will have to be replaced. was told this is a known problem and should report it since it is the same problem on the 2009 and those were covered under warranty }:(

Check engine light is on. vehicle is showing a p0008 code with 92,000 miles this is a crankshaft misalignment that i was told means the timing chain will need to be replaced. this is apparently a widespread issue amongst gmc acadia owners.
My timing chain was replaced under warranty 4 year and 50,000 miles ago. now i am having to replace it again. i contact gmc about recall10287 premature chain wear for reprogramming of the engine control module. i was told this does not apply to my year and there was no part listed because it just a general statement. not sure where to go from here. here is my case # for gmc 8-4704107640. i am still awaiting the part information from them.
This has happened about ten times now all within the past 3-4 months. i will be driving and go to make a turn and the steering wheel locks up and the engine dies. the brakes still work so i am able to stop the car, turn they key off and restart it. it had happened to me once on the highway and the rest of the times have been stop and go turns in the city but once was while turning left onto on cmong traffic and my car died in the middle of it. i took it to 3 different auto places and all told me they couldn't find the problem. i then researched this and found several other people having this same problem. i contacted them and they set me up with a dealership to get it fixed. gmc said if it was under 150,000 miles they would pay for it and if it was over then i would still qualify for a payment assistance program. however a day after dropping off my car to get fixed the dealership called me and said they don't know how to fix my car and to come get it out of ...

The timing chain needs to be replaced on the 2010, which is the same issue gmc had with the 2009s, however, the 2010 isn't covered, but the 2009 was. i've read that gmc knows that there is an issue, but they just aren't covering it yet.
Timing chain needs to be replaces and isn't covered although it's the same parts as the 2009 model that is covered by the extended warranty. gmc is aware of this ongoing issue and should cover it
I was driving the car on the highway and smoke started coming out of the engine. later it was determined that the engined died - there was never ever warning lights or warning that there was trouble with the car. it is a 3.6l sidi vg engine. it was very unfortunate as we haven't even owned the car for a year before it was completely dead. the cost was way too high too fix so we ended up giving it to a salvage place and bought a 2009 gmc acadia. not even a year into that car and it also needs a new engine. same engine, a 3.6l sidi v6 engine. our auto place said they are having a hard time finding that engine because many people need that engine for the exact same problem. can not be a coincidence. i have contacted gmc and they don't care.
Owned the car for about a year with a 5 year, $20,000 loan attached to it. the car randomly started smoking and all kinds of warning lights went off on the way back from the store (about a mile away). i immediately pulled over and walked home, went back after a couple hours to let it cool down and it wouldn't start. i had it towed to the repair shop and it was deemed my car with around 80,000 miles on it had a blown engine due to something with belt (same issue 2009 model was recalled for) and it was going to cost out of my own pocket $7500 to replace it with a used engine with no guarantee that the replacement engine won't have the exact same issue. in the 3 weeks it took us to decide on if it was even possibly to come up with that much money, engine prices had rose another $500 because they are in such hot demand. ended up having to let the bank repo it, ruining my credit, no vehicle to take my newborn twins to their doctor appointments, or anyway to get to work. gmc needs to be held ...
