WE HAD A SNOW STORM SO THE VEHICLE SAT IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE NEXT DAY MY WIFE ON HER WAY TO WORK CALLS AND TELLS ME THAT THE TRUCK STARTED TO DISPLAY ALL OF THE FOLLOWING, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITITRAK, ENGINE POWER REDUCED. SHE LOST SPEED BUT NOTHING MAJOR HAPPEN. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO WORK WHILE DRIVING HOME AT A STOP LIGHT THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE AND ALL OF THE SAME MESSAGES STARTED TO COME UP AGAIN, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITITRAK, ENGINE POWER REDUCED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE SAME THING CONTINUED TO HAPPEN WITH THE ENGINE SHAKING AND THE INFORMATION CENTER DISPLAYING EVERYTHING ALL OVER AGAIN. I CALLED A LOCAL GMC DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN. I WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE BACK UP AGAIN AND THE TRUCK WAS FINE, ON THE FREEWAY THE SAME THING HAPPEN SO I DROVE ON THE FRONTAGE ROAD. THE DEALER COULD NOT SERVICE IT DUE TO 3 DAYS WORTH OF WORK TO BE DONE. I WAS TAKING IT HOME AND THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. WE FINALLY GOT IT TO ANOTHER DEALER AND IT CONTINUED TO SNOW, I WENT BACK TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF THE TRUCK AND THE BACK SEATS OF THE TRUCK WERE WET AND I COULD SEE WATER ON THE SECOND ROW. I AM HOPING THAT ITS NOT WIRING ISSUES DO TO ISSUES WITH WATER LEAKAGE FROM THE MOON ROOF OF OUR TRUCK THAT WE FOUND WHILE SEARCHING ON YOUTUBE. I HOPE GM RECALLS THE SUNROOF/ MOON ROOF ISSUES WITH THE LEAKAGE THAT MIGHT BE HARMING THE WIRES INSIDE THE TRUCK. *TR

POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING FOR 5 TO 10 SECONDS AFTER MAKING A TURN THROUGH WATER OFTEN NO MORE THAN A FEW INCHES IN DEPTH. USUALLY OCCURS DURING OR AFTER RAIN, WHEN WATER HAS ACCUMULATED AT INTERSECTION CORNERS OR RESIDENT/BUSINESS ENTRANCES. WHEN THIS OCCURS, IT BECOMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE DIRECTION THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING IN AND HAS ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT TWICE SO FAR. *TR

MY FAMILY AND I WERE TRAVELING ON I-20 BACK FROM COLUMBIA IN MY 2007 GMC ACADIA. I NOTICED A WHINING NOISE, TIGHTEN IN THE STEERING, TOLD MY HUSBAND THAT WE NEED TO STOP FOR GAS AND CHECK THE FLUIDS. YIELDING AT THE NEXT EXIT I COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I FINALLY WITH ALL MY STRENGTH TURN THE VEHICLE INTO A HESS GAS STATION. WE CHECK FLUIDS AND CALLED ONSTAR FOR A DIAGNOSTICS REPORT. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP TOLD US THAT THEY DID NOT SEE ANYTHING IN THE MAJOR PARTS BUT DID TRY TO CALL A GM DEALERSHIP (KING CADILLAC). KING WAS NOT OPEN AND WOULD SCHEDULE AN APPT ON MONDAY. MY HUSBAND DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH WE LEFT FOR EARLY DROP OFF. RECEIVED A CALL FROM TECHNICAL ON MONDAY PM, WHICH STATED IT WAS THE POWER STEERING PUMP. ASKED HIM ABOUT IF THERE WAS ANY COMPLAINT OR RECALLS ON THE PUMP BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS REPLACE BACK AT 14,000 MILES. THIS WOULD BE THE 3RD PUMP THAT HAS BEEN PUT ON THIS CAR. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON SEPT. 10, 2008 FOR THIS PROBLEM AND MANY COMPLAINTS SINCE 2008. *TR

ONE NICE DAY DRIVING IN TOWN, I MUST HAVE RUN OVER A NAIL OR SOME OTHER SHARP ITEM. WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, I HEARD A HISSING NOISE. I PULLED INTO A FLAT PARKING LOT TO INVESTIGATE - SUSPECTING I HAD A LEAKING FRONT PASSENGER TIRE BY THE WAY THE GMC ACADIA WAS DRIVING. I REMOVED THE JACK AND SPARE FROM THE BACK OF THE TRUCK AND ALSO THE MANUAL FROM THE GLOVE BOX. FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS NOT ONLY PRINTED ON THE JACK, IN THE MANUAL, BUT ALSO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE - I PLACED THE JACK, MADE SURE IT WAS STEADY, AND PROCEEDED TO JACK THE TRUCK UP. THE JACK COLLAPSED UNDER THE WEIGHT OF THE TRUCK. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS SET. I TOOK EVERY SAFETY PRECAUTION ESPECIALLY BECAUSE MY SONS WERE WITH ME AND THEY ARE TEENAGERS (NEW DRIVERS) SO I WAS TRYING TO EMPHASIZE THE SAFETY ISSUES - LUCKY FOR ME !!!! THEY ARE THE ONES THAT YELLED THAT THE TRUCK WAS COMING DOWN. THE DESIGN OF THE JACK REQUIRES AT LEAST YOUR ARMS TO BE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE TO JACK IT UP WHICH IS VERY UNSAFE. FORTUNATELY FOR ME, I DON'T EVER WORK UNDERNEATH A VEHICLE UNLESS THERE IS SOMEONE ELSE CAPABLE STANDING BY. THE ENTIRE JACK WAS BENT SIDEWAYS - UNUSABLE. MY OPINION IS THAT THE JACK POINTS ON THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK ARE CORRECT; HOWEVER, THE MATERIAL THAT THE JACKS ARE MADE FROM IS SUBPAR. ALTHOUGH THE DEALER REPLACED THE JACK FREE OF CHARGE -- I WON'T USE IT. I COULD HAVE LOST MY RIGHT ARM THE LAST TIME UNDER IDEAL CIRCUMSTANCES. I WON'T EVEN TAKE A CHANCE THAT IT'S THE SAME JACK MATERIAL NEXT TIME. WHAT IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN ON THE OPEN ROAD IN THE RAIN WHERE YOU HAD AN UNEVEN SHOULDER? *TR
